When I got tinnitus after months of high stress, the ENT told me that all of my jaw clenching may have changed the pressure on the muscle that's connected to the inner ear, and that could be the cause. I never got a definitive answer a

I've owned Bitcoin since Jan 2013 and I think this is a terrible idea. I love speculative investments with interesting (to me) technology, but I don't want the foundation of my life (my country) to be affected by this speculation.

Whether or not you love in a food desert, the result of your actions are the same. You may have no choice, but you're still financially supporting animal cruelty. The action is cruel, not the people committing it.

I'd love to see how we can adopt this in our current economic system. Would we classify factory farming as necessary even though it causes extreme harm to sentient beings? We'd have to make a huge shift in food production and eati

It appears that Wyoming is looking into creating their own USD-backed stable coin. They've narrowed the choice on where to host it down to a small number of public blockchains. It isn't clear to me how this benefits the people of

I bet a lot of finance companies will love this. Many already make their developers use virtual development environments, and this takes away all management of physical machines. It might be a bit more successful if there was also a laptop

That's what happens to all pigs on farms. They get killed for us to eat. They don't care why they're killed, but if you do, you can stop eating them.

It's not like Microsoft can force Wine to take the codebase. In order for this to be donated, the Wine project needed to accept it.

Have you considered adding note detection and note-by-note playing of tabs? I use that in Rocksmith+, but their detection isn't great and neither is their interface. I'd prefer to use something like Sound Slice with that feature.

I dont think you can hold Microsoft liable for 3rd party software pushing its own update. Microsoft didn't make anyone install Crowdstrike or it's update files.

This is one of the interesting aspects in Ethereum. If your validator is down, you lose a small amount of stake, but if a large percentage of the total set of validators are down, you all start being heavily penalized. This incentives peopl

The proper comparison isn't with other CO2 capture programs, it's with the environmentla impact of butter, both dairy and non-dairy. Dairy is a large contributor to greenhouse gasses, so if this can reduce the environmental impact

It will currently cost you $1 to send any amount of ETH to another address and that transaction will take 3 minutes. For $1.30, that same transaction will take 30 seconds. You can do those same transfers cheaper and faster on an Ethereum la
