A potential strategy to avoid or further reduce potential rejection of an organ by a recipient may be to ‘slow’ accumulate the presence of the foreign body into the system over a long period of time. This could work potentially with both biological and synthetic (plastic and metal) organs. Developing a tolerance to the foreign … Read more
Lots of people have speculated on the identify of SN. I have a few thoughts on it and thought to list it out here. 1. Working for corporation / government entity who would own the code. I believe SN, was a cryptographic / security expert who was working in a situation, where any work they … Read more
In thinking through other tech revolutions, there is some cause in my opinion to view A.I. slightly differently. While I do not think it is happening quite yet, if A.I. can eclipse the total capabilities of humanity, than it would be replacing labor with capital, in a full substitution. So long as the cost of … Read more
Some images from my donut rendering..
…and feels like where we sat at the beginning of smart phone revolution when the iPhone 1-3 were released between 2007-2009. Just the start. Extremely excited for VR, which I believe is the next logical ‘screen’ to arrive at after the supersized OLED phase we are in now. WebXR (which streams immersive experiences) / 360 … Read more
If you were to study gravity, you’d want nearly a perfect Zero-G enviroment and then introduce 2 spheres. It would give the ideal experimental result by removing all other noisy variables that you’d find in the real world. Enter the Lemon… If one were to think about how multiple items are produced and purchased. I … Read more
I think of myself as long lived. Growing up in a computer store, seeing many twists and turns within the technology space – I often bounce around as a tech veteran – then you see this, the Queen of England trying email for the first time in 1976 and realize that those among us are … Read more
It was my first time at CES this year (2017) and was thrilled to see so many products and innovative ideas under one roof. I guess under any other year, things may be highly seasonal like fashion, but because we are changing as a society so quickly technologically, it really was a display of the … Read more
Hi I’m not sure if anyone requires this answer, but in the interest of providing them online. Converted .MOV file to Mp4, it is a container file difference so I just changed the file extension. Embedded Html 5 Video. No audio in Firefox. It turns out the FF only runs with open source / free … Read more
Hi – just kind of throwing this out there. One of those what if ideas…Would be kind of cool to DIY bookscan. Calling it FlipperOCR. If you think you can make this, please do!
Between 2001-2005, It was common for a technista to be carrying around a palm pilot, an iPod and a cell phone. 3 devices in the same form factor. It was obvious to those who saw it then that these functionalities would merge eventually to create the smart phone as we know it today (given enough … Read more
In February – I took a trip to Mountain View as a ‘3rd Rounder’ for their recruitment process. Although I didn’t get the position, it was certainly interesting to see the Internet Giant up close (and to a limited extent – to view its day to day operations from within). In preparation for my interview, … Read more
Luckily the world is mostly full of ‘white hats’ as the term is used. In a day to day / data form driven world. The sweet spot of rigorous authentication while allowing people to forget passwords doesn’t really take into account the ‘systemic’ risk of standardizing authentication questions and other unique ways to identify you … Read more
Found an old pic from Montreal Barcamp… Sneaksend was a steganography app which embedded images by appropriating the least significant bits in an octet of an image. For eg. 11110101 and using the last digits (0101) to encode information. Ran on Django+Chery.py — will have to recreate one day. Sneaksend from guest779445
Some Photos of Disrupt 2012, SF – where Zuckerberg made an appearance to speak. It was interesting, I learned a lot, most notably about the media news cycle but also (i think) about some of the in-the-room vibe of one M. Zuckerberg. Here is a person who could of cashed out many years ago. Empirically, … Read more
The cord juts out on the current model in a not-so-subtle way that makes it prone to break. A. This version would wrap the cord around a middle groove. B. The cord coming out would be angled in such a way that it never needs to point in any other direction.
Macs OS, iphone, ipad etc all come with Safari pre-installed and bundled. Question: how is this different than what Microsoft did bundling IE with Windows, that lead to an anti-trust suit? Same situation no?
Larry Page was on Charlie Rose this week. He comments on a bunch of current initiatives. http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/12366
We are just entering a time period, whereby people’s lives, songs, videos photos, documents (classified or declassified) are entering into the public record. History is much more real, when you can see and hear in film what things were like. Recently I’ve been immersed daily in both reading and watching of early 20th century american … Read more
