Flock has over 80% of the US market. You've seen this level of attention on a market leader before: on Microsoft, on Adobe, and others.

It doesn't even fix things if the next POTUS is the exact opposite. The world has been shown what we are capable of doing. Any four-year stretch could be governed by a joke hired to "own the libs". Caligula's horse can&#

Convenience is by definition one step. Disgust requires research, analysis, and decision. The research alone is beyond most users' general practice. Why would anyone walk in the front door when they could hop a fence, pry open a window

You are literally claiming the Jan. 6 murder of police officers was "peacefully transferring power". It was never claimed that it was successful.

All that's being said is, "Russia is known to exploit political conflicts to harm their enemies". WHY those conflicts exist is irrelevant. No one is saying it absolutely, unquestionably was Russian interference. Just that it

A test was recently mentioned to me, regarding aphantasia vs visual thinkers. Imagine a cube that has a red top and bottom and front face, and all other faces are blue. How many edges are red on one side and blue on the other? Now, in solvi

Again, relativistic speeds change distance (from what we experience at non-relativistic speeds). At no point do you travel faster than light - the world you are leaving will appear redshifted. If you were going faster than light, the backgr

But that's the problem: as soon as you move control inwards to the software, and add more accessibility (smart watch, voice control, whatever), you have a sophisticated, hidden control layer. How do you know that your dryer won't

Bankrupting a whole, large national economy is a bit trickier than boycotting a company. I mean, someone like Trump is probably capable of doing it from the inside, but Korea's educational standards are too high to elect him...

Water often puts out fires by diluting the oxygen with steam, giving the embers time to cool off. In practice, the cooling factor is important, but the momentary extinguishment of active flame limits the spread - especially when there is mo
