So that's where my question is. Can we store the complete information an electron carry optimally, like in a space smaller than the electron itself? This leads to the question: is this possible to save the current state of universe in a space smaller than universe without loosing any information?

This makes me wonder how the information is stored in nature? Like how the characteristics of the particles and fields and all the interaction rules are are stored or embedded?

If we know how much bits nature is taking to store some data and how it is storing, can we use this knowledge of structure to somehow compress the data and store it more optimally? Or is nature have most optimal storage ever?

Or let's call these hoppers. There would be small hopper stations every five or ten blocks. You hop into one hopper, it flies you to a nearby station avoiding all traffics and zig zag roads. You hop into another hopper to incrementally get to your destination. This way these drones dont need to have huge batteries or any other complicated features for long distance flight.

Tried similar stuff few months back. Start a simple socket listening at port 80. Use any browser to make connection. After recieving any connection on server, send a properly formated HTTP response ( precede with 200 ok and must include content-length, everything else I found was optional). Now scale this to include custom root locations. Extending this to handle all the specifications the thousands of common protocols a server should handle will now feel like headache, so here I didn't continued anymore.

Next I wanted to replace the browser with my own client. Soon realized how huge of a obstacle I was heading towards. Got bogged down by the complexity of a simple browser and still havn't got started on this. Maybe someday :D

>A blogspammer posts an amazing finding: immigrants hang out with other immigrants. Hackernews is frantic to post about how uninterested they are in stupid things like sports and music, and how that lack of interest hasn't stopped them from making friends with other hipsters.

I always think about writing a blog. Maybe just rattling about the everyday things I am learning or doing and share it. Just there's a huge mental barrier of "I am still so very novice" and I postpone it to when I will be at some better level. I guess I will say fuck it and start someday.
