We are our brain activity and once that's gone for good all that's left is the biological machine that we live within.

A heart will beat as long as it doesn't die or otherwise suffer some other structural failure. They attach brain dead patients to a ventilator to continue respiration to keep the now-vacant body alive. It's a shame someone severely fucked up and compromised the safety and trust of the process in this case but don't let this confuse you into thinking there's no basis for the transplant to occur in the presence of a heartbeat.

oh so now we're right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

except now it's even more fun because there is zero standardization at all, but users are still going to expect for their computing devices to tell them a time that makes sense. Ah, but culture X thinks the day starts "6 hours before sunrise" and culture Y is more "the day starts when the sun is halfway between sunset and sunrise" and culture Z thinks something even more insane. Oops, now we've got locale-based time zones. Locale awareness is honestly even worse than time zones because its just so damn unexpected at times. My own computer has a horrifying mix of US and Europe locale settings, and that is already crazy enough.

stupid people will always think everything is just so simple.

Theres basically no way this meets regulatory requirements, theyre based on a value which is roughly based on transmitter strength + antenna gain. The comments on hackaday are fun to read.

It works best to catch the cat while its asleep, then this is mostly accurate :)

I can fall asleep physically while remaining awake mentally with relative ease, I've never had the entry paralysis ever associated with the typical exit paralysis sleep demons.

The worst that happens is my brain is just incredibly disoriented when I open my eyes after it thinks Im asleep. The paralysis is pretty fun actually, sometimes it can be a real challenge to break.

Dude, you're projecting. OP is asking a question, not making a point.

No, these are people who are either incredibly dumb or have somehow never seen anyone write "911" down but have heard somone joking about "dialing nine eleven"

Kotaku is shit and lacks a vision other than writing a bunch of polarizing counter culture bullshit and shouldnt be trusted to factually report on anything.
