Ok, but check this out: self-driving buses! It's easier to make a self-driving vehicle that follows a fixed route. Buy enough buses to cover the peak demand, then send most of them back to garage during non-peak times.

Nah, that's really stupid. Agriculture is a human need. If you let your crops infected by fungi, you get famines (incidentally something non-capitalist countries are often known for). I take it anti-capitalists would rather have millio

Have nuclear plants rendered areas uninhabitable for centuries? I'm pretty sure Pripyat can be made habitable if someone wanted to live there, with enough financial investments. It's just that there's so much already habitabl

Doesn't Mastodon have a character limit? How can you even start changing someone's view with just 500 characters?

It works perfectly for me (Keepass2Android). Unfortunately Dropbox limiting syncing to 3 devices will likely make me using something else.

Yes, it does. If you have to play a long time before any meaningful challenge appears, this makes the game not fun to play. People loved Flappy Bird because it was so hard to avoid dying. Imagine Flappy Bird Easy Mode. Nobody would play tha

It's Lisp not LISP, it's not an acronym. Also Lisp is not inherently functional. Common Lisp is mostly imperative/object-oriented language for example. Functional programming isn't taking over because it's not the b

This won't happen. Maglev is a technology that's actually feasible and fast, and has been under research and testing since the 70s. Chuo Shinkansen between Tokyo and Nagoya is currently under construction and they're basicall

I used to spend a lot of time on games, then I realised what a waste of time it is, when you can spend that time learning or creating stuff.

I think the biggest problem is that if you type "reiwa" in an IME, 令和 wouldn't be shown as a suggestion because it wasn't a real word before. You'd have to write each character separately. Also speaking of Abe I saw

As someone who is currently living in Russia (not voluntarily, I was born there and still haven't managed to get out), I can see the results of the brain drain myself. I'm currently trying to hire a Python programmer for the compa

And yet Quora culture is much less toxic. Maybe they had the right idea? It's kind of like Something Awful vs 4chan situation. Or public toilet vs paid toilet.

It seems an easier job to un-fuck UK specifically than the entire EU. It's easier to convince a relatively small island that a certain law is stupid than the entire continent.

"Intelligent design" is silly because it doesn't answer the question of creation at all. Ok, it wasn't a bearded man in the sky but a bunch of lifeforms who created a simulation for people to live in. So, these lifeforms
