   I’m increasingly convinced that a majority of people who use the term “Orwellian” haven’t actually read Orwell’s books.

   I think The Atlantic’s version is a great example, with a bunch of opt-in options clearly laid out. In the end the rest will probably end up looking more or less like that, or go down in much-deserved flames.

   Whereas the US with its ISP, fossile fuel, pharmaceutical monopolies, it’s GM and Apple, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook, Lockheed, and Boeing is obviously a Randian utopia. Yes indeed, no entrenched institutions in the US! /s In c

   I won’t even get into how you’re contradicting your first point about “strictest laws” and just quote from the first article. It’s apparently spreading north as well – northeastern province Liaoning has been a “major growth area” for drug

   If locking it or running the firewall required energy waste on the order of bitcoin they would. Fortunately both have been designed with minimizing energy use in mind, rather than wastefully maximizing it.

    Other than book deals, tv spots and entertainment, what have all of the many Interpretations of QM gotten us? By contrast what has shut up and calculate gotten us? All modern electronics for a start...

    Philosophy of science is about as useful to scientists as ornithology is to birds. Feynman nailed it imo.

    I've never understood how some physicists disregard philosophy and do it with a straight face. How else are supposed to understand and make meaning of their findings? What does this even mean? Why is it the job of physicists to deriv

    My first thought was of all the wealthy suburbs surrounding even relatively poor cities like Detroit. Cities definitely don’t create a desert.

    I agree with you and Osteele, but I didn’t feel it was my place to editorialize the title, but I’m happy for the moderators to do it.

    Google Rotenone, the example used. It’s... wait for it... an insecticide!

    Sounds good, but the example given chlorpyrifos, is an insecticide. In context it was very clear that a mistake was made, and not by me.

    I hate to repeat myself, but it bears repeating: glyphosate is an herbicide and not a pesticide. It’s significant, because pesticides organic or otherwise are something designed to kill animals, not plants. We’re animals, not plants, so her

    Is there some reason that EV’s can’t till? If you’re farming there’s lots of sunlight for solar, and nuclear is a good option too.

    This was the title I used, it must have been changed: “Alexa and Siri Can Hear This Hidden Command. You Can’t.” I couldn’t have added the subtitle because as you say, it would have been too long.

    You’re not wrong, but for most of human history I could declare that you offended me and challenge you to fight to the death. “Most of human history” is a bad standard and is essentially hypocritical to raise selectively. People don’t compa

    Jokes aside, this won’t reduce flatulence, just methane. Most humans don’t have methanogen bacteria in their guts anyway, so it wouldn’t matter.

    In America that’s been a pretty safe assumption for some time. The problem is that when you take that gift and draw a hard vacuum on it, they tend to burst.
