view objects clearly in darkness up to 50 meters away.
Define "darkness." It obviously wasn't completely dark. Was it dark like a moonless night dark, or dark like an interior hallway dark?
Secondly, how do you define night vision in metres?
Secondly, it's an important biomedical advancement made by citizen scientists.
Is it important, and is it even an advancement?
They didn't come up with the idea and the effect was already known.
Their idea was inspired by a patent filed in 2012, claiming that if you mix insulin, Ce6 and saline to someone’s eye, their retina absorbs much more light and they can see much better in the dark. The patent also mentioned that instead of insulin, you can use a substance called dimethlysulfoxide (DMSO). The Science for Masses guys thought “Why not use both?”.
So their sole contribution appears to be the idea of using both insulin and DMSO (for no readily apparent reason and probably to no actual benefit).
Thirdly, there's an organization [scienceforthemasses.org] which is a nexus for citizen science.
Said "organization" appears to be two guys with unknown qualifications and "our fair share of body mod tools for when the mood strikes us." Their "paper" looks more like a blog post to me, and their "tests" were subjective at very best (something they do at least admit).
I'd half expect their next "paper" to be a study on the effects of downing a glass of diet coke after eating a packet of mentos.
The test subject's eyesight returned to normal the next day.
Yeah, so far.
The summary goes on about how he uses Instagram and Skype, but doesn't actually get to the point brought up in the headline, which is that the guy does use email, on his Blackberry, apparently without knowing what it is.
I was pointing out the parts that itzly apparently missed when critiquing your suggestion.
How about a panic button outside the cockpit with the same code as the entry door that only the pilots know?
It's not just you. It does not read like an Onion article to me, either.
If he can't get broadband, he can't do his job. If he can't do his job, he (probably) can't make his mortgage payments. If he can't make his mortgage payments, he can't live in the house.
So there's quite possibly not much choice about it.
In that campaign, which Kaspersky dubbed DarkHotel.
I think Slashdot is trying to woo the beat poetry crowd.
Yeah, until they turn it into a "household levy" or something
Daylight robbery.
But they haven't. So it's not.
I zoomed in at random and ended up at Pink Eye Bridge. Eww.
Australia Passes Mandatory Data Retention Law
Passes like a bowel movement?
I'm too busy supporting the baby boomers to give a shit about the millennials.
"Even before there's a verdict in this case, and regardless of what the verdict is, people in Silicon Valley are now talking," said Kelly Dermody, managing partner at Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, who chairs the San Francisco law firm's employment practice group.
"People are second-guessing and questioning whether there are exclusionary practices [and] everyday subtle acts of exclusion that collectively limit women's ability to succeed or even to compete for the best opportunities. And that's an incredibly positive impact."
Which people? I'm in Silicon Valley, unlike people who work in San Francisco.
Actually I have been an IT contractor for a school district, that was my third job. But back then $128K could buy a lot of ARCnet adapters and NetWare licenses.
Good old reliable tape. None of this fancy random access hard disk garbage that fails all the time, or complicated wear leveling flash nonsense.
Maybe something like core memory or bubble memory if I need some random access behavior.
I hear it's down to a penny per bit, only around 1200 megabucks for 10 gigabytes of Core memory.
