  • It's that simple

    It is anything but simple. Lot of them don't really have a choice.

  • Don't you need working prototype to get a patent? Otherwise musk or bezos or another for-profit asshole could patent every known scifi gimmick, wait until someone actually invents it and then send him a bill...?

  • It's not that expensive in the US. A few hundred

    Ok, that's less than what I would have expected, but still more than what most people want to invest into something that's basically a joke.

  • Getting patent is fucking expensive, also it is afaik region-limited. You can get your patent for say EU, you need lawyers and lot of money for that, and if you would like to extend that to US, you need new lawyers and more money.

    So it is out of realm of what's possible for normal person.

  • *Also, I've blocked this user.

    Oh no, have you used the word relativity too many times and now you have no more arguments? :D

  • If you could reverse time travel then the space would conform to the time you travelled to.

    Really? What else would conform to the past point in time? Would fabric in my clothes disintegrate and transforms to something else? Would I, because I, well, didn't exist in that past? Then it wouldn't really be time travel, would it?

    Or would the clothes stay, because they are mine and important for me and would I stay on earth, because that's my baseline? Is universe somehow "me-centric"? Not really likely, is it?

    You need to abandon your idea of time travel as seeking in a video with rewind button.

    According to our current understanding of physics time travel is impossible, but we are talking about a word where it is clearly possible, so you can't really constraint yourself with the limits as we know them now.

  • There is no cosmic frame of reference

    There is. Just because we can't correctly find and use it with our knowledge doesn't mean there isn't.

    it'd be really silly

    What would be silly is thinking that earth is some magical center of the universe.... We have abandoned this concept about 500 years ago.

  • Asphyxiation checks out

  • that really sounds like a case where someone ultimately says "fuck you, runk's developer". why didn't that happen?

  • the fight is not for maga votes, it is for the undecided morons in the middle.

  • your beef is with internal combustion engine, not with the car.

  • that xkcd is... completely irrelevant to the post.

  • All 1200 pins in the socket need to make contact with all 1200 pads underneath the CPU in order for it to have full functionality.

    as i wrote in the neighboring comment, i was at least partially lucky. i found the cpu can work with external graphic card, and cheap graphic is way cheaper than new cpu, so there is at least that.

    question indeed is how permanent that solution is and if there are some micro cracks that will get worse in time.

  • with big enough database you simple have every single person in it. that still doesn't back up the quote i disputed in any way. can you find source of the quote? i'd be interested to see the original.

  • The fbi estimates they can use dna evidance to single dowm the possible people to 2 or 3 out of the entiriry of the us

    i am not sure what you mean by this sentence, but you probably misunderstood something.

    dna doesn't single down anything, as in it would help you track something. it tells you if two genetic profiles are a match (that means they come from same person), or that they are genetically similar and how distant they are - that tells you that the profiles come from x times removed relatives. after that, it is down to normal police work.

    here is veritasium video about how they used this technology to find and convict the infamous golden state killer - https://piped.video/watch?v=KT18KJouHWg
