That's becoming more and more common the online behavior now would in the past peg someone as a troll. Put it down to the phenomenon of being unable to resolve conlicts/direct challenges with any composure past giving in to the fight or flight reflex. Trumps on line conduct is also serving as a bad example I agree, but it's serving to exacerbate a deeper problem and with the general degradation of civility mades response to critiques like the one you cited more and more likely I'm afraid.I have had a few people disagree with my comments on Youtube but this is the first time someone has been so aggressive in their reply and it's stupid as it is them that pays for it in the end. I know that the American President is a pig online but that does not give them the right to be just like him.
So... It seems that some voice-controlled devices can be hacked, crossing the "air-gap" (An air-gap that is required for "sound") and instructing the devices just like the user can. Telling the device to connect to websites, send texts, email, take pictures, all without the human in the room being able to hear the commands being issued and their devices being hacked by commands embedded in a television commercial or song being played on a nearby television or radio.Researchers can now send secret audio instructions undetectable to the human ear to Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Alexa and Google’s Assistant...
Even scarier. Why did companies like Amazon leave the sub/super audio sidebands open for such intrusions? This happened to be a topic I heard discussed last night. The device's hardware (At least Amazon's) circuitry was CREATED to include these bands when it would have decreased circuit complexities to have only had the devices recieve in the range of normal human hearing.Extend the risk to other devices, other systems, that incorporate new voice-control technology for even broader risks.

There's a great pop-sci book about a couple of chemists/physicists/scientists that did this. Sorry, can't remember the name, atm. :/ IIRC, they did it with a bit more style, though.Tracker001 wrote:Lets make (stack) the Periodic table with the physical elements themselves in order .
What if
With americium 123? I didn't think you could get enough together to spit out a gamma ray. Plenty of alphas since that's what ionizes the smoke particles, maybe an occasional beta, but DAMN! Sounds like the kid was a bit of an an overachiever. Makes me wonder that he was into that caused the alcohol poisoning that did him in. Frat party or a distillation experiment gone wrong, or both?But, at least he got his Merit Badge.
IIRC, he had some psychological problems. He may have been one of those few that were geniuses when young, but slowly went made after puberty hits...Hank001 wrote:...Makes me wonder that he was into that caused the alcohol poisoning that did him in.

I picked up from just the nature of the idea of slapping together a breeder reactor... well there's genius and then there's a kid thinking up something and partent or parents with no clue at all. The last example merged and reminded me of the time my kid bother and I got short on funds and though about making our own model rocket engines... Parental good sense prevailed. .A different genius, this one a bit more well-adjusted..

(Guess that is sort of why I'm still here to comment on it.)

Centari actually had the market until mid 60's. Later Estes bought them out. Unitl mid 70's it was all mail order. Went into rocketry clubs in the Air Force. HP & alcohol engines, and there were prohibitions like no metal bodies and a cap of 2000 feet and single stage for home built. Went through Stage 5 at Huntsville and shortly afterward the military put the kibosh on all amateur rocketry (Late 80's. Too many accidents.) Here it's back in vogue.Estes.
