Comment Keep those trains moving (Score -1, Flamebait) 89

Reading Dave McCarty's words in his interview leaves me little doubt that he'd have no problem signing off on the trains taking victims to their deaths in any particular genocide in order to follow the local rules. I'm assuming he's a Trump supporter based on the absolutely frightening nature of his defense. "You know the answers that I've got for the administration decisions, all I can say is...after reviewing this Constitution and all the other rules we must follow...the administration team ruled that these works were ineligible, which categorically, absolutely is our right to do." This is a handy fellow to have on your side if you're gonna implement an authoritarian state of any type. Many, if not most, of his fellow apparatchik joined in without a word of objection to what they were doing. These are not just horrible people, these are dangerous people. I was just following orders.

Comment Excellent concept until it's not (Score 1) 109

This is great and really needed but I worry what happens if someone figures out a way to break it. If it gets broken, then everything that came before it gets invalidated? Maybe every picture validated this way should go into an image bank of non-volatile read only storage, maybe ceramic media. If there is ever any question, then a reference number embedded in the image could be used to retrieve the original.

"Therefore, the amplitude of the extracted PW of the UMA can be tuned by changing the modulation depth M (Fig. 1k). Finally, our UMA can generate arbitrary polarization by controlling the amplitude ratio and phase difference of the extracted |u and |v components. To this end, we apply equivalent sinusoidal amplitude distributions with an identical spatial period to both the ±45o-inclined slot openings such that the extracted |u and |v components share the same output angle in free space. " Well, duh! Any schoolchild knows this!
