Is Life on Earth Premature from a Cosmic Perspective?
>The universe is 13.8 billion years old, while our planet formed just 4.5 billion years ago. Some scientists think this time gap means that life on other planets could be billions of years older than ours. However, new theoretical work suggests that present-day life is actually premature from a cosmic perspective.>“If you ask, ‘When is life most likely to emerge?’ you might naively say, ‘Now,'” says lead author Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “But we find that the chance of life grows much higher in the distant future.”https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.08448>Of all the designs submitted for Trumps wall, Otra Nation may be the only one advocating for a dismantling of the existing fence line. ... Otra Nation would provide better border security than any physical wall could by using a high-tech system of biometric surveillance and universal smart ID cards.>"Otra Nation will be the world’s first shared co-nation open to citizens of both countries and co-maintained by Mexico and the United States of America," the group says in their proposal.>Far from the wall Trump envisions, the MADE collective wants to build a high-speed, electric hyperloop connecting different parts of Otra Nation.

Also bump.
>>199>biometric surveillance>just an ID cardThis is nothing more than a fucking passport, and we know Mexicans don't use them today.
Will cost 10 times more than a wall. Looks like shit, and will amount to nothing.
Just what I think of it.
>>199if it's going to become a thing, I still want an actual wall on the border and that thing better be implemented in mexico territory.
>>199"Biotech surveillance" and any sort of electronic "virtual fence" is an attempt to build a wall that can be willfully ignored. The people advocating these non-walls want a border that future presidents can direct the border patrol to neglect

>>180Bad news! The research they're referring to uses IAT as a basis that lacks consistency of results making it unreliable as a source.
>>205Were implicit association tests ever firmly debunked?

>>1245I've been using Dissenter for a while now. It's been a while since I was last brushing up on Web Browser security stuff, but my basic understanding is that it's a bit more secure and private than Brave, which it's based on.
I also have Vivaldi, for the odd time Dissenter just doesn't work with something.Vivaldi's actually the only web browser I know of that isn't based on either chromium or mozilla.
Man, remember when Chrome had a good reputation? Right after it came out, back when it was one of the slimmest and fastest browsers out there, and had bonus integrated features that were actually kind of convenient. It feels like a different lifetime, almost unimaginable.
>>1285The corporate race to the bottom never ends. It is amazing how out of touch with reality these woke corporate people are.
>>1286>It is amazing how out of touch with reality these woke corporate people areThey don't give a shit, only money counts.
The cunt CEO is giving herself extraordinary salary increments while Firefox is going extinct, the reason is pretty obvious, she doesn't expect to be in charge for long and most likely already has a plan to jump ship when the time comes.
Also Mozilla Foundation's corporate (((donors))) are calling the shots. This is a very known story. (((They))) are using Mozilla as a tool for social change.
>>1285Is Brave Browser still good?
>>1288I would say no.
Brave is focused in to make money, nothing wrong with that, but the problem arises with the compromises taken to meet profitable targets.
Look at the team, the current picture shaved all the SJWs and foreigners from the roster, 2 years ago the roster was 4/5 times bigger and was infected by them. Did the company change its heart? I don't think so. By the way, to keep so many bureaucrats instead of coders is way telling what the organization is about.
My point is that Brave is a woke company and therefore can't be trusted.
>>1290Wokeness stops to matter with something like brave that's open-source (they can't sneak in weird shit or add arbitrary limits) and is a client app that you can easily replace (lack of dependence in case they do somehow fuck it up), so there's little downside.
>>1288It's basically just ungoogled chromium with some default extensions, and unless you care about the brave rewards meme (you shouldn't), then there's little reason to use it. Little reason to not use it either though (outside of maybe this

Researcgers at Duke wired rat brains togther and it workes. This is in 2013.

In 2018 Seattle they wired three peoples brains to play tetris. Just one way non invasive device.

>>1346What about rebranding them as Video Editing Workstations? Does the Californian law say anything about "High-end" Video editing and 3D modelling/CAD workstations? (well looks like it does)
Lets hope this gives boost to distributed 3D rendering so people can run two compliant computers in tandem instated of one non-compliant to do gaming, cad, 3d modeling and video editing and use more power than a single non-compliant would. It would also pave the way for a dedicated OS version for "Slave GPU" computers.

>+NIGGER License
About
The +NIGGER License is a license modifier that requires the inclusion of the word "NIGGER" in the LICENSE file.
Why?
By including the word "NIGGER" in a LICENSE file that must be distributed with the software you will ensure:
The software will not be used or hosted by western corporations that promote censorship
The software will not be used or hosted by compromised individuals that promote censorship
Users of the software will be immune to attacks that would result in censorship of others
How?
Include the following text in any compatible LICENSE file:
The above copyright notice, this permission notice and the word "NIGGER" shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
Example Licenses
AGPL-3.0-only+NIGGER
MIT+NIGGER
FAQ
Do I need to include "NIGGER" in my code?
No, the inclusion of the LICENSE file is enough. The +NIGGER modifier has no legal significance for any license that already requires redistribution of the LICENSE file.
Why "NIGGER"?
The word "NIGGER" was chosen as it is deemed heretical in the west regardless (or lack) of context.
Can I add +NIGGER to licenses that don't require LICENSE file redistribution?
This is discouraged since it would result in +NIGGER having legal significance.
Is +NIGGER compatible with (A)GPL?
Inclusion of additional legal notices is allowed under §7(b) of the (A)GPL assuming they do not infringe on any of the freedoms granted to the user by the license.
What if someone removes the modifier?
Cancel them on Twitter for using code derived from heresy. >>1364>"Microshaft removes NIGGER from workplace!">"Twatter violates NIGGER.">"Court agrees to remove many a NIGGER.">"BANK of _____ forgets about their in house NIGGER making a huge mess afterwards.">"Random fag tries and fails to remove NIGGER due to being assblasted."The possibility of including the new reply disclaimer plus other inconvenient facts or statments which are totally legal.
Or any other word or phrase which just has to be in the license that doesn't necessarily impart any implicit meaning just the requirement for it to be in the license, as the duplication and preservation.
