I checked the list of pesticides in the article, and almost all of them were banned because of the effect on pollinators, not because of human health. So using these pesticides only on products for export makes utterly no sense!

What you are describing is not hivemind, but rather paid participants. Companies pay for these "grassroots" recommendations, and Iran pays for those Jews posts. It used to be more subtle with real people paid to post, but AI has m

You joke, but they can partition off a small space, rent it out, and claim they are renting the entire thing to someone. It can be a housekeeper who actually has access to the entire thing. They can also split the property into multiple ind

Can't the attacker just man-in-the-middle to the real bank, and show the QR code to the phone? Does the entire transaction take place on the phone? I don't think that's a good option.

Stocks are linked to entities that perform economic activity, i.e. make a profit, and share that profit. i.e. everyone can win. Predictions markets are just bets: one person wins, one loses.

That 40% number is impossible. First of all transportation is 30% of energy, which already makes 40% impossible, second if it's 4 times more efficient then it would still use 8% to 10% of energy, making your actual savings 20% of energ

Cars are a very unimportant part of changing to clean energy. The most important part is the generation. Making specific types of cars required right now is VERY premature, and will just cause backlash. Let's focus on just one (main) t

Natural gas in the US is so cheap, producers have to pay to get rid of it. However there's not enough transport hubs in the US to export it to places that needed it, although several companies have recently announced a pivot from wind

You are forgetting about competition, increasing costs means directly increasing premiums, and higher premiums means lower business.

I know no one cares, rather I was explaining why this Iranian hit is not a demonstration of any great success, they were hitting an unprotected target, in a non-US base.

Free VPN's are usually funded by agreeing to route some VPN traffic for other people though your own network. They basically work as mixers, randomizing traffic throughout the VPN population. This can expose users to legal risks, but b

It's not stable, and no it's not theoretically possible. A proton is the lightest stable baryon, and thus the only only stable one. It's not a coincidence - in particle physics if a lighter elementary particle is possible the

It's not actually a proton. And yes you can built a particle made from any combination. I posted elsewhere in the thread with a bit more details.

This is significant because binding 2 heavy quarks together is very hard to do because they decay so fast. All the particles made from just 3 light quarks have been found. And I think all of the ones made with 1 heavy quark and 2 light ones

You aren't finding anything because it is not true. Ultra pure water does not become some kind of solvent. It's the reverse problem: because the water is so pure it easily gets contaminated by minor things. So all the equipment ha

The idea is that we give up the land tax revenues in exchange for the services the non-profit provides. (And of course the government does not decide which services are useful or not, the people do.) One thing I might agree with is land tax

A state can do it, but it might fail, and the result of a failure would be a catastrophe so everyone is very cautious.
