do we really need auto-injectors? what about a syringe that is administered much faster than a normal syringe? (slight distinction)

I was thinking you could have an AI character play the level and that would reinforce that character's moveset.

Is it possible to use machine learning to have the AI improve itself?
Re:Alcubierre drive on Monday August 13, 2018 @11:20AM (#17750767)
but if we keep trying there should be a spacefaring equivalent of Moores law?

what if instead of formula 1 we had races in orbit? this would push the boat out.

Re:Alcubierre drive on Monday August 13, 2018 @08:53AM (#17749654)
how about we just figure out how to get as close as possible to 1C?

Re:First drug to prevent chronic migraines approved by EU on Thursday August 09, 2018 @12:06PM (#17725403)
you could also just avoid your migraine trigger, I have and get around 3 migraines a year max rather than having one every month or 2 or 3 a week as a teen.
this should ask the user to upload a ROM manually.

Re:Pi-Hole: Why You Need a Network-Wide Ad-Blocker on Tuesday August 07, 2018 @04:14AM (#17704667)
you could have pi-hole redirect to a site with the same story maybe? or even pi-hole could cache it.
there should be an establishment that's open 24hrs for different purposes, Cafe, sandwich shop, bar, club, hotel.
Re:Freeing the Web from the Browser on Monday August 06, 2018 @05:17AM (#17696161)
One way would be to create a browser/portal(combo) that only indexes webgl/wasm apps for example. and you could still visit the info page about that app via a normal browser but would have to install the specific browser.

the irony is that walled garden might have a valid use case (not to wall from a vendor, but to wall us from old tech)

Re:The BASIC Engine on Friday August 03, 2018 @06:15AM (#17678613)

Re:The Age of the Wordless Logo (2016) on Tuesday July 31, 2018 @06:24AM (#17651950)
that's a good example
Re:The Age of the Wordless Logo (2016) on Tuesday July 31, 2018 @04:26AM (#17651477)
or maybe "no logo" is the new logo.

just have a unique font made for your brand and nothing else.

Re:Non-PhotoRealistic Quake (2002) on Monday July 30, 2018 @04:18AM (#17642890)
or some 3d storyboarding, but then you don't need quake, it could be a shader for blender for example
Re:Non-PhotoRealistic Quake (2002) on Monday July 30, 2018 @04:17AM (#17642886)
you could make a nice story driven game with that shader
Re:Launch loop on Friday July 27, 2018 @10:58AM (#17626408)
1G for 2000km is really really fast IMHO.
Re:Launch loop on Friday July 27, 2018 @07:32AM (#17625169)
you could also build a space fountain using drones attached to each other like a snake
Re:Launch loop on Friday July 27, 2018 @07:31AM (#17625165)
it would also be possible do this by going around in a circle at 2g (a train?) the train could then drag a capsule and let go at a certain speed.

it might have to be at the poles.

another option would be to build a bridge from south america to west africa, and at 1g you'd reach escape velocity.

we have a stream with 200+ topics.

topics can't be deleted
