Good old fashioned pseudoscience. In 2003 James Randi would have given Masaru Emoto $1,000,000 for proving his theory, but he was not up to it. He was also hardly a researcher, he got a diploma in India from a diploma mill targeting quacks.

Of course they do. China achieved nearly universal health insurance coverage in 2011. Their health reforms have been well-recognized internationally. In the United States almost 20% of the GDP is wasted on a broken system. Most of the money

Inequality itself is a strong sign of collapse. Near collapse you always see local maxima, a sort of unbalance. In this case a minority keeps using their gains to attain gains faster by cannibalizing the system. Normally such gains would be

Unfortunately we are bad at recognizing threats, it triggers our psychological defenses. Society itself is a big psychological shield, and within it you are incentivized to attain personal success at any cost. Through this and the diffusion

To be fair the marketing names are simpler, like USB4 20Gbps. This one will be likely called USB4 80Gbps.

This would matter in a democracy, but the United States is far from it. Between the electors and gerrymandering the vote of someone who would support climate change actions carry much less weight, a third or less in some cases. With electio

Actually it should be USB4 Gen4x2, because the lane speed is 40 Gbit/s and there are two lanes, but the specification was also updated significantly, which makes USB4 Gen2 and Gen3 USB4 Version 1.0, and the ones after it USB4 Version 2

SQLite is significantly better at OLTP and being a blob strorage than DuckDB, and it doesn't want to sacrifice those advantages and compatibility if OLAP performance can be improved independently. In my experience for diverse workloads

There is a attrition warfare right now, and both sides are dug in. Russia has a non-existent morale and questionable logistics, so it is doubtful that they will end up winning. NATO will never lose interest, providing Ukraine with what they

It's also the technological equivalent of astrology or homeopathy. Confidence in a blockchain system depends upon it's underlying governance structure, which requires trusting a distributed web of actors. The only actual requireme

This is how I use Firefox, things only stored for the session, for the given container. Containers are better than first-party isolation, because many sites expect to share data with third-parties. It is also better to fake API responses th

This is not to absolve anyone of their responsibility for their acts, rather than asking the why. These ideologies make people worst, but there is a reason why people subscribe to them. People like Trump are merely a symptom of a larger pro

This is why it is so important to create healthy societies, to prevent people falling for such ideologies. As horrible incels, other male supremacists, white supremacists, QAnon believers, Trump supporters, Fox viewers and such are, they ar

The PE format is used, and the cosmopolitan libc example was compiled for x64. PE requires a single machine type to be specified, but these days there are support for hybrid binaries with the ARM64EC ABI (which follows x64 conventions and c

There are widespread changes in the weather pattern. A single event can be excused, tens of thousands of such events across the globe cannot be. We already understand the connection between climate change and extreme weather, no need to wai

You can do this and more in Zig. The only caveat is that for MMIO you need a volatile pointer. https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/mmio-in-zig/ It gets tricky if you need more control over loads and stores,

Not much to debate, Alex Berenson is known for making false claims about vaccines, and Substack is known for letting people spread COVID-19 disinformation. It's a disgusting way of making money that hurts a lot of people.

The solution is a language that seamlessly interoperates with C, like Zig does (no FFI, high impedance match with C, cross-compiles C, exports to C ABI, transpiles C, compiles to C).

It is one of the biggest conflict since World War II with as many as 10,000 Ukrainian civilians killed, the same amount of soldiers. While indiscriminately killing, raping, torturing and kidnapping people Russia have lost at least 20,000 s

Future-wise I don't think individuals would stand a chance against a sufficiently advanced AI technology. People are not a black box or particularly unique. An AI might be able to detect certain thoughts from our faces, movement or sme

Software piracy is in a bit of a hiatus now because of Denuvo, but I'm pretty sure this isn't translating to increased sales. Consumers on the other hand deserve more protections when it comes to use, lending, reselling and intero

I always read these with dread. Mind-reading is such a violation of someone's privacy, I'm not sure it has many beneficial use cases, and I'm not sure that it will be done with informed consent most of the time in most, but a

You mean the Russian propaganda that there wouldn't be a war right now with Ukraine capitulating to the Russian aggression. Unfortunately for you and Germany back in 1939 this is not how it works. The European people and it's desc

The share of renewables is currently around 25% in Europe, and the target is 45% by 2030. My fear is that we will end up leaving tens of millions behind, condemning them to a life without energy security, since it won't make sense econ

As the article said in this conflict the military, technological and financial elements are intertwined. It is not clear that Russia is losing on either front currently. They are not winning either, at best it's a stalemate. What is cl
