Interesting idea. I would buy one.
Armed with fresh funding, IXI is now planning to ramp up R&D, expand its team of 50 people, and move into a new headquarters with a purpose-built lab and clean room facilities. The company plans to hold the first live demos of its glasses later this year.
But maybe I shouldn’t hold my breath, yet.
That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.
For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?
At least you can choose not to use their services.
I guess a smart phone would be a luxury item in NK. So one could chose not to use one instead of being tracked?
In Germany the government and police use the word Quellentelekommunikationsüberwachung (telecommunication source surveillance) when they express their desire to have a Trojan on someone’s phone - to protect the children of course.
So the phenomenon is not unknown outside of NK.

Damn. Another rabbit hole to dive into. Thanks… I guess. :)
The lua queries look promising.
It’s a bit sad. It feels like fighting windmills, too big of a task, general mistrust that my fellow humans would work towards the same future. And maybe I mentioned it, there are always more pressing tasks and a limited personal energy budget.
Obviously humane are not as self determined as we like to think. Maybe our paths are predetermined through our evolutionary development.
Decision making motivated by emotions. Quick success, own advantage or the closest pressing issue is always more important than sustainability and the common good. Bad emotions are suppressed and messengers of bad news are chased out of the village.
And then there are the ones who believe that all is lost and nothing can save us. Like me. Not helpful, I know.
An seinen Taten soll er gemessen werden.
Not so fast! The judgment isn’t final yet. Plus some trials are still pending. Also the CEO seems to be too sick for trial.
To be fair. There are trials. It is not great but it could be worse. Imagine people could be deported and sent to prison for alleged crimes. Or so…
Yes. Light receptors maybe, but eyes…
… and light-sensing organs called ocelli, which can sense the presence and absence of light. Additionally, some jellyfish have sensory structures called rhopalia, which contain receptors to detect light, chemicals and movement.
Oh wait! This is unexpected:
… One group of jellyfish, the cubozoan jellyfish, have complex eyes… with lenses, corneas and retinas in their rhopalia.
Huh. Wiki agrees:
box jellyfish are unique in the possession of true eyes, complete with retinas, corneas and lenses.[13] Their eyes are set in clusters at the ends of sensory structures called rhopalia
Whoa.
jellyfish eyedrops?
Why would they need eye drops? They are submerged in salty water.
Have fun. :)
Side note: Never look at LXC/incus or home assistant or esp32 to attach. Rabbit holes everywhere.
Free advertising. Yay.
Yes. But with flesh. And direct access to the outer adult’s thoughts and feelings. That’s even scarier, I think.
Yes, broad is fine. It’s interesting to see the different approaches. :) I’m sorry if I sounded too harsh.
My understanding was that Germany’s issue is with uploading as well, but I am not German and I am not a lawyer
Lawyer? Me neither.
Indeed. Uploading is problematic, which includes p2p. Downloading not so much. Still illegal though.
There was the story about witcher and CD project who targeted illegal users. Understandably. So downloading isn’t exactly 100% safe. Or using the downloads…
Distribution is the key here, which they can pinpoint to your IP. They can’t come after YOU specifically (usually) but they contact your ISP
Germany:
Which in turn hands out your contact data. And Waldorf + Frommer will send you a form for a Unterlassungserklärung, which you are kindly asked to sign. Plus they will kindly ask for a few hundred euros.
Who then sends you a strongly worded letter about stopping (usually). If this happens repeatedly they will often throttle your bandwidth or even cut you off. Again, usually. This is different everywhere.
Nope. Not the ISPs job here.
Nope.
The inner child occasionally adds another layer around itself, i.e. the adult suit. But it will always be inside you and never leave, until you die. :]
Der Zahn der Zeit ist eine geologische Besonderheit auf der Philmont Scout Ranch, acht Kilometer südwestlich von Cimarron in New Mexico (USA ) und eine der beliebtesten Sehenswürdigkeiten von Philmont. Es handelt sich um eine magmatische Intrusion aus Dazitporphyr, die im Paläogen des Känozoikums vor etwa 22 bis 40 Millionen Jahren entstand.
Obwohl dieser schon so alt ist, scheint der Zahn der Zeit ihm bisher kaum zugesetzt zu haben.
What’s the cat ranch?
