You can still provide some sort of housing to those people. Just taking them off the streets will improve everyones quality of living (if it's as bad as described in the article). Most of them would certainly be capable of some kind of

There's one small trick that makes homelessness disappear: Housing.

Lovely, I've always wanted to do something similar.

This is actually the "right" way to do this, or at least the way sourdough bread has been made traditionally almost everywhere I've looked into. The same kind of process applies to yogurt. You make the starting batch of ba

Let me correct that phrase: One of the main reasons WW2 ended , was because the Russians defended their country fiercely with their lives, and because the communism establishment industrialized Russia enough to produce war munitions and eq

Yep. A prime-based compression algorithm is possible, but if you don't store the whole number, it will take forever to calculate. How are you going to describe it? Are you going to say it's the Nth prime, so go ahead and calcula

That's not necessarily true and probably is false. What we know about Pi is that it includes an infinite number of elements, but this says nothing about the structure of those elements. An infinitely long random sequence will probably

I disagree. I fully support using GPS to sterilize inferior people. Here's the full process: -Sequence the genome of everyone -Identify eugenics supporters -Select a set of GPS parameters such as the eugenics supporters score below the

You can get yourself an incandescent bulb. Nothing better than the sweet spectral distribution of blackbody radiation. And if you're American you can buy a 240V bulb. At 120V the color temperature will be much warmer.

Do people really manage to go more than a few days with less than 6-7 hours of sleep? I don't know anyone that does it. Also the article conveniently forgets how many near-isolated tribes with zero exposure to artificial light never sl

Are they seriously re-doing MMS?

Aren't landline and mobile number formats clearly distinct in the US? Afaik in the entirety of Europe mobile numbers have a different prefix than landlines.

Sort of, yeah. It's because of the same kind of limitation: You can't get the whole image at the desired framerate, so you only get a small slice of it over time. You can see the same technique applied in sonars, some kinds of rad

The AI Revolution is happening right now. There's enormous proven potential which is materializing in ever increasing rates. The first generations of hardware accelerators are slowly coming out and they're going to leave everyon

I have 2 questions: -Why do they feel the need to patent this? The algorithm look trivial. -How is this even acceptable? Making decisions based on such "predictors" should be (and often is) illegal. >Oh, you're physically

I don't know which country you live in but I've talked to paramedics about this issue, and it's extremely rare (at least in my country). Once in a blue moon, an old woman living in isolation in a village or something will cal

I completely agree, and this is a prime example of when government intervention is absolutely necessary: Consumers cannot protect their long term interests and someone is taking advantage of it. There are many reasons why they can't. S

You're right, but they used the photo as evidence to convict someone. They couldn't get a match on a national database, but it's possible that they could tell which of the 3 held the bag. There's another story to this to

Can't they just use a shorter set of characters (ie the latin alphabet or the IPA) to write down the pronunciation?

So if a man that sacrifices his life and career for the common good is an egoist and narcissist, what does an altruistic and giving person looks like? Like a corporate drone? Like a conspirator in an effort to control the minds of all free

The title is a bit misleading. It tells an interesting story about yogurt and Bulgaria, but yogurt has been around for literally thousands of years and it existed long before Bulgaria came to be even as a concept. Most of the things mention

Piracy fixed some issues (like extremely inflated profit margins in the Music/Movie industry) but it also created some others. It is no longer possible for small producers of movies or documentaries to fund themselves. It's also

Wow, are these clowns really that stupid or are they paid by industry? US-based thinktanks have to reveal their financial details (donations etc), in the EU they don't. This needs fixing ASAP. I'm sure Google, Amazon, Uber, Tesla

Old autopilots did exactly that, in addition to keeping a predefined climb/sink rate (long ascents/descents are really boring to do manually in small aircraft). New autopilots in commercial airliners can do many things (follow GPS
