kevin2r··on California Will Phase Out Gasoline-Powered Cars
> You are creating a false option - such that it is only this or that.

Exactly what I wonder, the pollution problem should not be turned into an electric car sales booster, it is a wider problem that needs to be tackled from different directions and I don't hear anybody making a wider analysis or plan.

kevin2r··on California Will Phase Out Gasoline-Powered Cars
Having electric cars is just moving the pollution to another place, were the power is generated. Forests and trees are the filter of the planet, if you don't have enough the pollution stays no matter what.
kevin2r··on California Will Phase Out Gasoline-Powered Cars
How do we know that a feasible solution is replacing the cars instead of keeping the forests and plants alive and growing?
kevin2r··on Safe: Set maximum capacity for any room, floor, or building
A phone app could replace this right? Using the front facing camera you could run some image recognition to count the flow of people and show the statistics on screen. Put the phone on a stand and leave it running. Much cheaper.

What about the new Music app coming in MacOS Catalina? Does it implements the views in html5?

kevin2r··on How to open a microchip and see what’s inside
I always liked the physical side of electronics as contrary as computer programming where is all virtual nowadays.

What would be the career path for a job in chip design and manufacturing?

kevin2r··on Hacker says he'll livestream deletion of Zuckerberg's Facebook page

kevin2r··on My wonderful world of iOS
Out of the box thinking.
kevin2r··on PfSense vs OPNsense: technical comparison
One case where I would use pfsense. Let's say you are a system admin of an small private school, you get an alert email from Comcast saying that copyrighted content was downloaded using torrents. You deploy pfsense and with 30 clicks you have snort configured and set to block torrent connections.
kevin2r··on The life cycle of HIV in 3D [video]
Yeah, that's what I would imagine, it is a chain of events so you could disrupt the process breaking one step, which one? I can't tell. But I know for sure that we are smarter than those micro organisms trying to do their thing :)
kevin2r··on The life cycle of HIV in 3D [video]
Question. How is that even knowing the lifecycle of HIV at this level of detail, there is not a cure for it?

Being able to run Android Studio on a container would be really nice.
kevin2r··on Making a Game Boy game in 2017
is it hard to port this kind of games to the web, now that we have wasm?
kevin2r··on Do you own your digital content?
My question is, will ever be a system that allows you to share or sell the content you buy online i.e, books, music, movis, etc. If you are buying it at the original physical item price, why would I prefer to get it online when I can't even give it to a friend. Would this alleviate people copying and distributing not owned content?
kevin2r··on Call for the Resignation of FCC Chairman Ajit Varadaraj Pai
Seriously, is this all the plan of one guy? Ajit Pai, if so, how could we give such power to one person. I don't think it's his plan it never it's, his resignation won't mean anything.

I hope to have at least 128GB of ram in my phone by that time :)

kevin2r··on Google NetStack: IPv4 and IPv6 userland network stack in Go
Wow this is awesome, It bothers me that one computer on a LAN making a big download, takes over the other devices, causing high latency and connections disruption. I mean we are talking about connectivity, it should not happen.

have you tried mega.nz, you get 50GB for free, also the sync client apps are opensource.
kevin2r··on Making a virtual machine in Google Sheets
Thanks, making a copy works. But it should show you an error like "You need permissions to edit this document" or something.
kevin2r··on Making a virtual machine in Google Sheets
Yes, me too, I also wanted to see the implementation. I did submit a "Problem Report" on why you don't get visual feedback when opening the script editor and getting an error.
