Very cool! I'm now interested in seeing just how many views the youtube video gets now it has been posted here.
As I type this in it is sitting at 1,057
Anyone want to take a guess where it will be by the time this post moves off the first page on /. (~24hrs) ?
Not offering prizes for the winner!

I own several domains and I'll admit that I went a bit wild registering all of them for free G Suite accounts.
I only care about 2, maybe 3. One's my personal domain and the other my business but I'm the only user on either.
The 3rd I setup for my parents but now it's just my mum and she won't care if I change her email address.
I don't use any of the apps I just use G Suite for email accounts.
GMail is pretty good for spam filtering which is my only needed really.
Now I'm thinking of moving to Apple's domain hosting email but I'm interested in hearing about anything else that's worth investigating?
Just like Apple is offering it would seem smart for Google to offer a domain hosting GMail limited to a max of several email addresses per domain for families.
Suggestions for good domain hosting email providers?

No, not yet. Dotcom is still fighting it in the NZ courts.

I opened the link and watched the video about these guns. For some reason the subtitles were on.

Got a laugh when the guy was demo-ing the gun and going through the 3 authentication methods.
On the 3rd one he said (59secs) "you know, belly or bluetooth". Eh?

Took me a a moment to realise what he'd actually said was "BLE or bluetooth".
Are youtube subtitles machine generated? Or maybe just a non-tech subtitle writer.

Game 5 was epic. Both were exhausted after one of the longest final games ever. It ended in a draw.
From then on Nepomniachtchi crumbled. Made an awful mistake in game 6 allowing his Bishop to get pinned and taken.
If you watch the video of the game you can see Magnus shaking his head in disbelief after studying it to see where the non-obvious advantage to that move was and realising there was none.
Game 7 was a draw with Magus playing black but Magnus won game 8 as white and then game 9 as black.
Game 10 another draw with Magnus winning as black the final game 11 when Nepomniachtchi blundered again.
Commentators felt Nepomniachtchi had effectively given up or lost interest by the final game.
Takes nothing away from Magnus and I can't wait to see if he retains both World Rapid and Blitz Championships.

...can anyone else not look at Mark Zuckerberg without thinking "Lex Luther".
If all his hair falls out I'm finally going to delete my FB account.

...like who funded these new insights "by several leading medical organizations and federal agencies"?
Aspirin, that extremely low cost, generic drug that been around for ever being pushed aside for....?
I'm being cynical, I know, but it's a simple fact that where there's money to be made, and really good money, decisions and policies can be bought and researchers need patrons.
Here in New Zealand we had a referendum on legalising weed and the "No" campaign was funded by pharma. It won.
Another cheap drug that is just a bit too inconveniently useful with multiple applications to have allowed.
I wish I lived in a world where I could believe everything that "medical organizations and federal agencies" put out.
I blame this distrust on why so many have ignored government and medical advice on CV19 and the various vaccines.
When you really need the public to believe you, and they refuse, you only have your past corruptions, and self interests, to blame.
I'm vaccinated with Pfizer and I will continue to use aspirin.

Worth watching is the film Micro Men starring Alexander Armstrong as Clive Sinclair and Martin Freeman as Chris Curry (BBC Micro).
Can't vouch for its historical accuracy but it is very entertaining.

Adding LEO satellite comms makes the process of getting Apple's own 3/4/5G silicon into iPhones all the more complicated.
It wouldn't be a good look if the iPhone 13 & 14 had LEO satellite support but the iPhone 15 or 16 had to drop it.
Apple can really only add additional comms tech into current iPhones features that they are confident their own in house silicon guys can replicate.

Haven't studied physics beyond high school, so go easy on me here, but if something consumes something else without changing size then it sounds like a sink hole.
Maybe that image comes to my mind from the various visual representations I've seen around of black holes that illustrate how they bend space time.
Is that a correct assumption and can someone who knows more elaborate please? Thanks!

When a predator dies off isn't it usually because of a collapse in prey population and food source?
If not wouldn't there be a proportional rise, or spike, in whatever sharks were munching on then?
Or is the shark population's impact on the fish population negligible normally?
What I've read only talks about the fish teeth to shark denticles ratios but not the actual numbers.
Unless I've missed something? Anyone got access to the full paper?
Interesting article but it feels like there must be more to this than just the sharks.

As we all know white doesn't stay white for very long when outside.
Had a quick search in the article but it didn't seem to cover that bit.
Maybe there's some nano-tech coating that could be used with it?

Miniaturisation of lab equipment like spectrum analysers (e.g NIR) combined with advances in Machine Learning and AI is making this a very interesting new area for investment in R&D.
BASF already have a product in the market which does much the same thing.
Their analyser is a bit bulky but the hand held NIR scanners are shrinking rapidly not only in size but also cost.
I know of one NIR sensor that sells in volume amounts for around $5 and can fit in a smart phone.
A bit like putting LIDAR in smart phones, or tablets like Apple is doing, this is still early days in terms of software and applications
Here's another company that has worked on a wide range of applications of this technology and commercialised some of them successfully.

This is the best I can find using google maps.
You can just make out a thin black shadow on the ground coming from the side of the building.
That's the pole that was moved up against the building, out of the way.
It's original location was at the corner edge of that concrete the shadow is lying on.

Now scroll down and you'll see another pole shadow at the edge of the field.
The layout was a bit different back in the 80's but next to that pole was where the metal gate, and cow, was.
The farm is closer to Glasgow but it sits just within the boundaries of EK and gets its power from there.
