What about tabi socks and setta?

Step 1: cut a hole in the sock

Isn’t the phone less private than an encrypted app?

Yeah, that’s the one I am fearing, the enshitification of Whatsapp, I think it already happened in some countries.

What if the platform you use with your relatives suddenly requires this?

As of 7 September 2025, there are 7,052,247 articles in the English Wikipedia containing over 4.9 billion words (giving a mean of about 706 words per article). The total number of pages is 63,983,130. Articles make up 11.02 percent of all pages on Wikipedia. As of 16 October 2024, the size of the current version including all articles compressed is about 24.05 GB without media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia

The following graphic illustrates how large the English Wikipedia might be if the articles (without images and other multimedia content) were to be printed and bound in book form with a format similar to Encyclopædia Britannica. Each volume is assumed to be 25 cm (9.8 in) tall, 5 cm (2.0 in) thick, and containing 1,600,000 words or 8,000,000 characters. The size of this illustration is based upon the live article count manually adjusted by the average word count on an irregular basis on a user subpage of the graphic’s creator Tompw. The growth rate is approximately one full volume every three days if the increase in average article size isn’t accounted for over time. The print volumes as shown in the illustration would take up just over 9.34 m3 (330 cu ft) in total volume.

And one year later half of it breaks because of a Gnome update. Maybe you should have followed up the specific repo that warned that you needed to move to this new extension, or maybe it just went silent without explanation. Something like that.

It should mention that Qwant (France) and Ecosia (Germany), announced last year a joint project for an independent European search index, although only for French and German according to this publication. https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/

If you need to run queries that aggregate big amounts of data in a reasonable time and cost, you’ll need something built for it. For example, with a column oriented file format instead of the row oriented file format found in traditional relational databases

The machines perform better with low temperature.

For reference, Palantir are not the only ones to provide supposedly fancy UIs on top of data messes, there are many others like Talend, Datahaiku, Alteryx etc. Those platforms are not magic, they will still need a lot of little hands to wrangle the data mess to get it in a useful state, if there’s ever an actual motivation to do that, and it’s not all pretending to be “data driven”. Usually, the data engineering community hates those graphical tools that are designed to convince executives rather than help engineers because no UI can be as powerful as a code base in this field. Palantir is special in how they managed to convince the executives of the police and administrations.

Some people put so much time and energy in this kind of stuff. Imagine we could harvest this level of motivation from everyone and put it at the service of the sustainable transition, we would have stopped global warming at the +1.5⁰C mark.

According to furrther research I have found amphros, phibbies or slimies.

I looked it up, they are called scalies.

It could be a temporary hot fix to pass some issue in production, but could break other things if left longer. So better to revert it after the big issue had passed and take more time to work on a proper solution.

You should be able to prevent your device from adding the location to your photos. I never felt the need to have it, given the date and the photos around, it is easy to remember where it was.

Did you put an option on the order?

Maybe some special physical interface could be built in the helmet, but if space agencies never came up with a solution for this, it probably means it is not needed.

Searched a bit and surprisingly couldn’t find any agency communication about this. I found that they use some gestures though.

Why do they keep a name referring to a pseudo-science then?

It is as if astrophysicists were using the name Doctor of Astrology and then claiming it is distinct from the astrology pseudoscience. It would be absurd, wouldn’t it?
