It seems to me that the current system encourages clickbait - stretch the truth to whatever will attract as many page impressions and referrals as possible. So coil moght help there - in that it might shift online content towards quality. But they seem to have missed something, as payments would be relative to visitors and so the incentive to get as many people through as possible has not changed.

The post provides data on the total number of failures over a given period. There is some data on average age, but I think it would be much more interesting to look at failure over time in something like a survival curve. How the failures are distributed over time.

Trucks in the EU have had, for decades, a black box recording their activity. Recordings are specific to drivers. No one seems to mind those.

Many new cars in the .EU already have speed limiters built in. My old Mercedes did - it was great fun. They are really useful if you are driving in town and there are speed cameras/traps. They are also a lot of fun. You can accelerate hard and not risk going over the speed limit.

So it more looks like the EU is just getting car manufacturers to make available already tested tech into all new cars.

So everything is going green... literally

Would this work in space? The availability of carbon up there is more limited but self healing space craft might be useful.

Sadly, in psychology, it goes further than poorly designed studies

I would think you would want the ecc option - if you are loading that much data into ram to work on it will probably be a task that takes a while and requires accuracy and stability.

Dixons is a pretty mediocre retailer and I would not be surprised is they had severely under-resourced security in place. Frankly, something like this should be enough to take them to bankruptcy.

Are you comparing rare elements dug out of the Earth with bitcoin? One has limited supply, the other is unlimited. When it gets too difficult to mine one coin, just go and invent a new one. When you've dug all the gold out of the Earth then that is that.

I for one welcome our new speck overloards. May your reign be wipe free.

I would be very interested in following the research they are undertaking. Anyone know how/where this will be published?

I don't think advanced human civilization meets less advanced civilization and all goes wrong is something we can apply to aliens from outer space. For one, humans meeting humans in the same space mean they are potential competitors or at least hold territory the more advanced guys would like to own.

Aliens from outer space might want Earthly resources, or they might not, it is not a given. Given the aliens traveled here using technology we do not possess my guess is the need for Earth-like resources could be met by visiting a whole range of unoccupied planets. So they are probably here to meet us. So I'd be more upbeat in the long term outcomes of aliens popping over to say hello.

But what happens when they detect something?

I really hope this happens. At the moment I manually block all shared sites... about as successful as swimming up a waterfall.

Smith and Wesson have an awful lot to answer for then.
