Are there any commercial developments in this area, as in something that's been put into production? It seems like nanotechnology is one of those things that's always eternally 10 years away. The closest thing I can think of that's actually been made available is MEMS related things which could be considered an outgrowth of nanotechnology related research.

>>1947
Why do you measure progress by consumer goods? By that yard stick, soviet scientists did basically nothing.

>>1949
They basically did nothing.

>>1950
Uh, huh: Probability theory, linear programming, primordial soup theory, lasers, superconductivity and superfluidity theory, carbon nanotubes, Cherenkov radiation + a million smaller contributions all over the place = nothing. /navi/ isn't for shitposting.

Car ransomware will also be horrifying. "Pay $300 or say hello to a concrete wall at 80 mph."

>>1892
It's scary to think how likely this is. I bet the first waves of these cars will have shit security, and the automotive industry has already proven to have little interest in maintaining the software in older vehicle models.

>>1893
If it's any consolation I don't think that the automotive industry will be the ones coming out with the first gen of this stuff. It'll probably be one of the SV companies, Waymo/etc. Of course given Google's track record in deprecating stuff this probably isn't any better, but at least they're someone with a culture of software and security.

>>1873
There's always the past, OP. Honda, Mazda, Nissan, and Toyota are starting to build reproduction parts for their legacy cars. The next decade will probably be the last one where combustion engine sports cars will be affordable or legal in most countries. I'm trying to find pic related next year before they start appreciating to the five-figure price range.

>>1875
The "rent on demand" philosophy is already implemented on certain new models. I believe Volvo's Polestar brand is subscription only. Most luxury manufacturers have phone applications that allow you to rent most of their model range for a monthly fee, but it's currently limited to certain regions.

>>1941
What do you think about PHP frameworks?

>>1939
kusaba refuses to die! hopefully this means that we'll see those significant performance improvements promised with PHP7/7.2

Whatever happens, please keep the edit function if you can.

>>1944
I agree. It's a useful feature to fix little mistakes.

>>1934
Yes that's what I experienced too. It does seem it's only on the archived threads.

Sorry about that, yeah it was intentional to help prevent raids and such. I set it up years and years ago and kinda forgot about it. I thought I set it to redirect to a 404 page or.. something... oh! yeah that's right I think I was a NEET at the time and figured I'd use one of those ad clicking sites to at least make a buck off potential trolls. I'll fix that in a minute here. Some of those urls I should remove anyway. Sorry.

>>1933
Bit embarrassing to ask but what file was that in? I've been looking around and can't find the entry.

>>1937
It's an inline script as part of the main page. You should just be able to grep for "blockedurls" and find the corresponding file.

>>1907
It's empty. I didn't know it would do that. In the past it crashed on me very rarely and always restored the tabs so I assumed there was some kind of backup.
Fuck damn it. I want to die.

>>1908
What about your favorites? Are they still there?

>>1909
Yes but I found tabs to be more convenient so I almost never saved anything to favourites.

>>1910
The only other thing I can think of is asking some more knowledgeable people--like the main developer himself.
From Grabber's homepage:
>If you have any questions about the program, found a bug and don’t want to use the github issue tracker, or anything, you can contact me by mail in French or in English at bio.nus@hotmail.fr.
I don't know if the issue tracker is an appropriate place since it's about reporting issues and not soliciting help. An IRC channel or forum would really be beneficial.
In any case, good luck.

No, it will not fit between bars

>>1781
It's obviously a model helicopter with no way of driving the rotor, so no.

Of course it will, airplanes are powered by jets which will greatly overcome any friction caused by the runway. The real question is whether it can take off before the wheels explode from the heat. For those not in the know, an airplanes wheels are free rolling and will not provide sufficient friction to prevent the jet engines overpowering them.

>>1898
It's only urgent because of upcoming law changes. And what I'm mostly concerned about is getting charged from speaking my mind, really. However, it'd important that the VPN I choose allows torrenting, also...

>>1899
You're worrying me. What the hell is going on in your country?

>>1900
I also want to know. I don't pay attention to news so now I wonder if I should be worried.

>>1898
And what do you know, turns out Nord VPN recently suffered a breach in their network. I stand by my assertion that unless you have a specific need (bypassing government or geo-restrictions), then using a VPN for day-to-day browsing is pointless.

>>1889
Space is so vast that there pretty much statistically has to be. Even in our own galaxy it's estimated that there are 40 billion planets with the potential to have life.

>>1889
>PHYSICAL LIFE
What? Also, microbial life almost cetainly exists in places like Titan somewhere in the universe. We're not that special. Life isn't that special.
>>1890
I read somewhere, that if the universe were large enough, there would statistically have to be a planet where there's an exact replica of you.

If they are
> in another super-cluster
we will never know

> in another galaxy
we won't know for a long long looong time from now and it's probably irrelevant for us today

> in our galaxy and we detect them in the near future
we are totally fucked, as their first radio signals will reach us thousand years after they have broadcasted them, meaning they have a technological lead of their distance divided by lightspeed minus the few years we use radio signals

> in our galaxy and they detect us first
things will be interesting, as this is the only scenario contact to aliens could be as it is depicted in media with the slight difference that we are actually the far superior civilication

> in our galaxy and we receive their first radio signals from a distance that, devided by lightspeed, is approximately the time we use radio signals ourselves
prepare for interstellar war!

>>1821
Nice! Can you post a screenshot of how it looks?

>>1822
it looks great but it segfaults when I try to open the settings menu on my machine and it's pretty much impossible to configure without it

>>1870
Hm you might try compiling from source and see if that fixes it. Alternatively if there is indeed a bug you could try compiling with debug symbols if needed and stepping through with gdb (or just looking at the symbol dump) and seeing what's causing it to segfault.

Another option might just be to find where the preferences are stored (probably some dotfile in the home directory or near the binary path) and modifying that directly.

>>1871
Actually I didn't check before posting because I thought the software died years ago but it got updated in June, my repos is lagging two versions behind. I compiled the new one the menu works fine now. According to dmesg it was a GTK problem.

Thanks anyways.

I thought this was some sort of joke until I looked up and found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centreless_wheel

funnily enough what I thought of as a possible disadvantage was listed as one of the first things on the page along with some others.

Just buy a e-bike

>>1856
Might as well, it's about as useless as a hubless wheel.

>>1859
Eh. They seem to have improved a lot in the past ten years. This year I have seen e-bikes on my street going probably 45km/h without pedaling, and apparently the range of them is pretty good nowadays.

Every single chan with a tech or g board is filled to the brim with political threads about policies, corporate/government spying and muh freedoms. I get why people care about these things, but there's a lot of more intersting things to talk about. These discussions always go the exact same every time.

>>1847
Apparently a couple of tech boards are now focused on creating their own internet now that this one is being fucked over. Should be interesting.

>>1857
isn't that just tor?

>>1858
>>1857
Whatever a tech board can come up with will be small-scale shit which they might use on the side to feel cool and above the system, but will never replace the current infrastructure. It's happened before. There is an interesting project called safenet, but whenever that actually becomes open the public is a mystery.

Also, tor isn't a "separate internet". Unless you make a new network of individual computers, you aren't making a "new internet". If you do that though, it wont be useful to people outside of that mesh network.
