You can get a finger back but only if your medical science is sufficiently advanced. Full fingers have been re-attachable since the 1960s, and soon we will be able to grow new fingers like a newt. The key is to continue the progress quick

Good narrative but the data doesn't support the claim: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S

Depends, I might opt for the limb remover if it is simpler and works more reliably. Time is money and I'm confident I could use either properly so I'd likely waste more of my limited lifespan fixing the safe but more complex and

No one knows what is safe, those that purport to know exactly what is safe are the most dangerous. Safety is the new snakeoil. Add just a drop and a sprinkle of "think of the children" and you can sell your BS to anyone.

An orbital mirror could be a relatively simple option to allow acceleration during the night and multiply the solar energy during the day. Plenty large target, less atmospheric distortion/losses so shouldn't be all that hard to h

I find the opposite to be the case. The large news orgs with all the paywalls are now mostly used to push a narrative. This has been the case for years, best demonstrated by this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksb3K

True, but to be fair if it were mosquitos alone, they would be little more than an annoyance. They're only deadly because they've teamed up with a host of other microorganisms like the Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya viruses.

You have to feel somewhat proud to have achieved such extreme evolutionary success. Only recently have we expanded to other meta goals like conservation. By the measure that we apply to nearly every other species on earth, humans win.

Probably, Elon has some quote about how creating a successful new car company isn't hard because cars are hard to design. It's hard because cars are generally sold with razor thin margins and all the money is made selling parts an

What do you say to Tesla's claim that IIHS officially tests simulated crossing children and Tesla models successfully avoid the crash? Home-made tests are pretty easy to game, there could have been hundreds of attempts and these are th

What does it tell us? In most accidents there is shared fault. In this case, the guy was playing a game on his cellphone, no hands on the wheel. The city also hadn't replaced the safety barrier after numerous past crashes so the life-

Yes, I think this was the primary reason actually. It only takes 1-2 times renting it before you realize that returning at 80% is a major hassle. It's also a ridiculous stipulation since Hertz could easily charge the cars themselves.

What if the cycle is simply due to predator/prey dynamics? More captive honeybees mean more well-fed yellowjackets and thus more predatory pressure on both captive and wild honeybees. https://www2.nau.edu/lrm22/le

Shouldn't Kia build out the 800v chargers? After all it is their cars that benefit from it.

It doesn't because many companies believe they are safe simply because they don't "hold" your personal data. If it transits their systems it is still at risk, and those companies are much more likely to have security is

The problem is the core idea is flawed. The same concept (don't store the data) was applied to creditcard account data 10 years ago in many point-of-sale systems. Malware simply evolved to logs the data itself. Not collecting user dat

Ironically, AI will probably help to provide this. Could probably do it now with a browser plugin and the right llm prompt. Perhaps call it the un-BSifier.

So what, this isn't the next iphone. Publish the details of the study. So far this is marketing clickbait. It's about as far from the scientific method as you can get.

The wording of the questions also matter a lot but are near impossible to find. In this case, no one can read the actual paper since it is embargoed at this time. This isn't how science is supposed to work, imagine if Maxwell publishe

How much AI is enough to warrant it though. Like is human motion-capture based content AI or human? How about automatic touchup makeup? At what point does touch-up become face swap?

Using company equipment to produce the copyright work also gives the company a strong case for ownership of the IP. Not using company equipment can be just as bad because now there's evidence you knowingly copied company records to a p

Many of the issues it brings up are already an issue if you work across timezones. For example "today" is already ill-defined if you're in the US and have a team in India, who's day does it refer to? It'd be much e

Anything can be confiscated but whether you're a country or an individual, the US gov can freeze your USD account with a keystroke. With crypto it's at least harder than that.
