The top comment on this thread ( https://www.quora.com/Could-a-human-being-survive-on-the-die... ) matches what I've learned about this elsewhere. Just that "chewing for six hours a day" part is a problem.. As

Yep. The ground itself moves with the tides.. so it's never static. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_tide

Erectus are about 2 million years old, and they already had "our" body shape.. i.e. small guts. The question has always been - did they already know how to cook? It's somewhat early for fire control. But it is one of the argu

Natto looks somewhat.. strange. But I got used to it very quickly, I absolutely love rice with natto on top. Can't say I've ever noticed much smell.

Well.. I tried it in Iceland. In a restaurant. Looked like rubber cubes, didn't smell much, but unfortunately it tasted what it looked like (rubber).

Humans (since Erectus) _can't_ eat more. We don't have a big enough ingestion system for that. Our guts are tiny compared to other great apes. We're completely unable to survive on what chimpanzees eat, not to mention gorilla

They transferred something like 10 tonnes of fuel from one end of the ship to the other.

Not sure if it's the same tech or just similar, but all newspapers used to transmit photos from correspondents by telephone, all the way up to the eighties at least. I remember seeing it in practice - I was taking part in a multi-day b

Nowadays what they announce on European and Europe-Asian flights (the ones I have any recent experience with) is that, when the seat belt sign is turned off there's always an immediate announcement which says something like "The c

In my town only the intercity ones used to have them, but these days all the city buses have them too. I don't mind using the seatbelt, but their design isn't optimal - they're hard to put on, particularly if you're wear

There are occasionally "air holes" happening near my local airport. A friend onboard a particularly severe one told me that the captain said that they'd "fallen" some 160 meters. I also have another friend who, a lo

What I don't get is why people are not using seatbelts. The only time I'm not using it is when I'm on the way to and from the bathroom. If I'm seated I'm using the seatbelt.

Where is the half-baked hypothesis here? Are we still talking about the Max Planck Institute and the DNA science they're basing their work on? Why should we pay equal weight to arm-chair pondering and scientific work?

I don't see how I can easily input those glyphs. Selecting them by clicking on a symbol, as it seems is an option in one screenshot, is really out of the question. That's just clumsy. Special key combinations is also something I

I don't see any support in that paper for the idea that Neanderthal DNA doesn't show that it's a different species. On the contrary. What the paper describes is the very well known theory that (modern) humans went through a n

So, you compare (now famous) hoaxes with what the Max Planck Institute did with their Neandertal Genome Project, and Svante Pääbo's work? Not exactly fringe, not easily overlooked.

by Tor3 3y ago
We actually have real DNA from not only Neanderthals but also Denisovans. There's no conjecture here - they were different.
588.
by Tor3 3y ago
A little bit of DNA from brief interactions in the past isn't what is usually considered "descended from". It's fine to say "there's a tiny bit of Neanderthal and Denisovan in my ancestry" though.

I re-read the article after reading your comment. I can't find any obvious false, incorrect, predated or misrepresented information. Could you please point out what is false and incorrect etc?

And.. the original article's picture is also a Q1 Lite, as far as I can tell. Introduced 1977. That one used NEC 4116 dynamic RAM. And did not use the 8008. It's very difficult to find anything about the original Q1. Even the &quo

That picture appears to be from a Q1/Lite, which is a different beast (and used 4116 DRAM according to the schematics)

That this 8008 computer from 1972 should have 16KB of RAM sounds unlikely. I haven't been able to find any real info stating this - still, the headline on tomshardware says "16KB". That's very hard to believe. Static RAM

I don't use Spotify anymore for random listening either. I use it only for very specific cases where I search for one particular song (and that's usually because I'm looking at a score at the moment and want to listen to it t

I don't really know. I assume they would be slower than SSDs though, but I have never measured USB flash. The SSBs get some 300MB/sec on my Pi 4 boards.

I've had a bunch of Pi cards, running on SD without problems. But a single one suddenly developed a super-hot SD card, this was a brand new Pi which I was just setting up. Got the card out, and that one and the next Pi got a USB SSD an

Same here - I've been running a couple of Pi3 as Cups servers for years of uptime (the only time that uptime gets reset is when there's a power outage - and that's very rare indeed). Did nothing more than install Raspbian on

Yes, I just can't believe in this handwriting good - typing bad idea. For what it's worth, I can't handwrite fast enough to follow my thoughts, and therefore I make errors. Typing gives me no such problems. But the other thi

As someone who watched all of that at the time.. I believe nobody in the US felt any sword of Damocles above their heads. The net was a very different place from now. A simple automated download check was what was needed, or even just a sta
