I definitely think it needs a good database of available plants as every permaculture books and resource I've read so far assumed I already knew about plants. This is to lower the bar from "passionate people ready to go the extra

I think the point is more that your insurance will become more expensive because you haven't walked enough between the age of 20 and 40, and therefore you're more prone to a heart attack. Or maybe your mortgage is more likely to b

Is there any brand of wrist sensor that doesn't require you to upload your data to their servers by any chance? I love the fitbit sensor, but I wish I could opt out of the server side of the things

I get what you are saying, but it's going to be hard to compete with the speed of a jet engine, with propellers or ducted fans. Unless I'm mistaken? Can ducted fans match the speed of a jet engine?

Yep, I've done that to send the status of a large upload, that must have been around 2008 or so. We had a progress bar that would show the upload percentage, then the unzipping, then the virus scan on the server, then it would be marke

As far as I understand (and I might be wrong so please correct me), this can't be used to generate anything. Of course all the technologies you've listed are useful and brilliant but this isn't what I'm seeing. It's

I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect it's one of these programming "joke" where you take a concept and bring it far enough that it becomes ridiculous. So I'm guessing there's no real practical use case for this

But you can't close the salary gap between men and women by only mostly having women taking childcare responsibilities. So if you introduce mandatory and equal leave for both parents, not only do you get happier parents, but you also d

The fairphone 3 improved this quite a lot! My partner's got one and it's definitely not as unreliable as the fairphone 2. It's unfortunate but I think they had to go through each iteration to make it work better, I think they

I wish we could get every major OS to work on an open standard for file transfer from device to device (locally).

So if it becomes possible to fit a device that collects micro particles, I guess the next step is to design the car such that it collects it automatically? Which means - assuming this holds ground - we could imagine a future where local law

Gee, it sounds like even devs internally weren't aware of it and everyone's scrambling.

I would agree but I think title didn't contain GPT-3, so it didn't do well given the crowd here. I didn't want to edit the title as it's against the rules. Also I think there's a debate as to how "good" it

Unless news outlets run the story and outrage the public about how violating the constitution should have repercussions, nothing will happen. But given how grim the news landscape looks like in the USA, I'm not very hopeful.

That sounds dreadful, sorry to hear. Out of curiosity, has that changed the way you'd vote? As in, you'd pick a candidate based on their health care program?

I had missed that Ceres' gravity is due to its spin. Does that mean humans are living upside down in their tunnels compared to Earth? And if that's the case, surely a spin that's greater than the local gravity should shatter

I'm still researching that topic and it seems even the eco-tank brick themselves once the ink-pad is deemed to be too full. So even if you replace the ink-pads you have to use some kind of illegal software to reset the number of pages

As a French person living abroad (Canada then UK), I can say without a doubt that I've offended more than one person going straight to the point. I'm getting better at beating around the bush now.
