The only e-reader I've had is an old Kindle Paperwhite I got secondhand. It's dumb enough to not get in my way and lets me transfer all my various pdfs and mobi files from my PC via cable. It's due for replacement but I have

I think it's worth pointing out that those threats of legislation are what led to the ESRB, which was created to show the industry could self-regulate without government intervention. While that system is outdated for modern game desig

A quick search shows average returns across the market sit around 8-11%. If we say 5% to be conservative, 1M returns $50'000 each year. That's not bad. That's a house in a quiet neighborhood with no worries about food, or de

Since it's effectively the same anatomical structure, presented in a grayscale image, I think bone density would change the average color of the image regardless of what level of pixelation was applied. The chance of detection through

Would it be unethical to start dosing Ivermectin with the Pfizer vaccine? Sort of like hiding your dog's pills in a rolled up piece of ham. The anti-vaxxers get to think they pulled one over on "them" (whoever that may be th

I'm hesitant on any type of synthetic fuel creation. Marketing says it's greener but it burns the same and almost by necessity is a net negative in energy costs. Instead of comparing to fossil fuels it should be compared to other

Certifications that require lab work tend to be more valued because they show applied knowledge, unlike multiple choice exams where you could cram for the test without applying any of that knowledge. As for requirements the only thing that

I'm curious to hear opinions on this. Like the author says, young workers are underrepresented in the public sector currently. Is a program that seems to cater exclusively to them problematic?

Who cares? I read through the entire thing, I followed up with the BMJ article linked by another poster. That's the end result that comes to mind, who cares? Why do I need to waste my time playing detective? Was it made in a lab? Is it

If that sentence isn't a moment of clarity in American politics I don't know what could be.

This is all to negate a further rise in temperature. I still believe that long term correction would involve carbon sequestration, literally burying carbon by the ton to remove it from the carbon cycle entirely. Something like project vest

You've made good points on this. My concern would be that police officers have an obligation to gather this information as it states in the article, and that they would lean on their powers to detain and arrest in order to coerce that

Failure to comply with commands given by an officer. Suspicious activity. Belligerent conduct. Whether these are actual charges or not don't even matter, as officers aren't legally required (by supreme court decision) to understa

Ha! I like that! Yes, I guess in a way we are. These models are always being evolved in their own version of 'natural' selection. They go through tens of thousands of mutations before finding one that guesses well enough to be pu

By the sound of it this is a problem that neither entities nor their moniedness can solve. I'm sure these companies watch each other, and when one steps on a metaphorical rake the others are likely taking notes on how to avoid it on th

Paywalled but I think I get the gist. The main problem with cases of (I'm presuming) civil forfeiture is that the assest is what's being accused of involvement in crime, not the person. As assets have no rights the police can esse

Fairly poor management to run damage control on a story very few are familiar with. And how exactly is the theory dangerous to "them"? If true, they have the keys to power, they have the financial and political capital needed to

Anecdotally, there's at least one instance of a ratings change altering the label on the box, Halo 2. A dev buried a photo of him mooning Steve Ballmer in the source code, and the ESRB changed the rating to reflect the newly found nudi

The ESRB should have a stronger stance on the issue, but they've been pretty lax. The most recent thing I found was them stating loot boxes would be specifically listed under in game purchases, backing April 2020. If the general cons
