I saw a chat show once where there was a debate as to whether a tomato was a fruit or vegetable. The person arguing for them as a fruit challenged the other party to eat them with custard. The producers then got someone to make up some cust

From the article: > Berries also must have two or more seeds, and their fruit must develop from a flower with one ovary. Once again, the banana checks those boxes. And, weirdly, so does the tomato, eggplant, kiwi and pepper. Oranges are

Well according to the article it could also be considered a berry.

The problem is that the people who name things don't always have enough knowledge to name them properly. And once a name has stuck, even if it's technically incorrect, it ain't gonna change.

My mum grows her own tomatoes and they are absolutely amazing. So lovely and sweet.

Probably because a tube map is both familiar to many people and presents a much more restricted set of names to choose from.

The end justifies the means? The problem is that 'everyone is the hero in their own story'. Everyone who spreads falsehoods in service to some cause is convinced that they are doing the right thing and are trying to "bring ab

If you need to 'justify' taking a break then think on this. Working the hours you do, non-stop, without break, is massively increasing your risk of either burnout, a mental breakdown, or a stroke. The mind and body can only take s

You're lucky. I mainly drive to work, but every time I have to take public transport I am reminded why I drive. Earlier this year I had to take public transport for a few weeks whilst getting my power steering repaired and on one occas

I am an advocate of E2EE, but your argument is a little thin I feel. Let's turn it around. Imagine if law enforcement were completely unable to enter any home, even if they had a warrant to search it and reasonable suspicion that there

It's not supposed to be for routine use. The idea is that if the car gets into a situation where stability is lost it will know how to handle it. As an example, imagine an autonomous car is going around a bend and hits a large patch of

Same here. I get rather confused when people keep talking about being paywalled on medium. I can only assume their experience of the site is different, but I have no idea in what way, or why.

I thought the same until I read the article. The headline is pretty crap tbh. It wasn't a normal domain hijacking, he sent in an armed accomplice who pointed his gun at the victims head and threatened to kill him if he didn't tran

I would argue that magic eye books and optical illusions are different things. An optical illusion exploits our brains "shortcut" mechanisms, which could be considered taking advantage of a weakness, whilst a magic eye utilises ou

Here in the UK we have a Direct Debit Guarantee [1] which makes scams like that very difficult. It gives very strong protection to the payer including the ability to cancel a DD just by contacting your bank and claim a refund for incorrect

Good luck to them, but... I see a lot of "could" and very little "will" in that press release. Also, if they're hiring researchers than that seems to indicate a certain amount of speculation to the whole affair.

Just do a search for something like "music ear defenders/protectors" and you'll see plenty of options. Don't go for the cheap disposable rubber foam ones because those just block your ears. Look for proper reusable

That's funny, I've heard that tea was a potential contributor. The theory goes that the health benefits of drinking tea allowed our British cities to grow larger without disease spreading. This meant more people congregating in on

Why on earth does it feel sketchy to you. As far as I can tell this service will be devoid of adverts and tracking, which means that it will be entirely funded by subscribers. You can't really expect him to buy all the servers and band

I'm kinda curious about the second screen. The author was wondering if it was a new Android feature or a Motorola feature. I'm wondering if it's driven by a separate processor running Android Wear.

Is there an opening here for some enterprising persons to try to develop systems to try to determine the biases present in training data?

That's a pretty weak argument. If you already have malware on your computer with enough privilege to change shortcuts then it's game over already. This is about preventing the naïve from being tricked into manually installing mali
