Perhaps the fact that Chrome's limited to being a reskinned safari is the reason it doesn't have a compelling feature they want.

the part of my web experience that Google is responsible is exceedingly inexpensive and I have a hard time understanding how competition could reduce the price I pay. Economies of scale don't work in favor of competition unfortunately.

I don't see many facts shared in this article. An anecdote about a Tesla driver lacking a blanket. I don't understand what that's got to do with the car's energy source? And the point that gasoline can be delivered to a

I don't buy that the protein costs $2.50. Wholesale chicken is $1-2/lb so this Doner has over a pound of chicken? The calculation might make sense only if more than half their ingredients go to waste.

I think what it means is an arrangement of mass (particles, spins, charges, ...) exactly identical to your own must eventually reassemble, e.g a Boltzmann brain or a simulation or an actual human identical to you, by chance. It has nothing

I grew up somewhere with 50" of rain/year and I can tell you folks do not change their driving style there either (until it's raining much more torrentially than it ever does in LA), so this phenomenon is not unique to LA.

psylocibin gives me bad acid reflux (even when separated from the mushroom solids). L doesn't have the same effect, only slight nausea.

I have also experienced this. I hope it is a bug, but it also might be a result of using the same account on multiple screens (whereas before it would just stop playback on one).

humans are definitely not rational. Our reaction has been driven by fear and anxiety out of all proportion to the actual threat here. Obesity is still a bigger killer than covid but we have not spent the same resources tackling it.

This interpretation of the law renders it totally useless, because tacking on the requirement for a human presence is trivially easy. As the author points out, the intent of the law is to enforce certain restrictions on any system that is i

On the contrary, it's politicians and old media who came up with the "fake news" slogan and demanded FB and others start censoring opposing viewpoints. FB is all too happy to help spread falsehoods and inflammatory articles s

how do you clarify a valid product update? Aeropress changed the plastic used at some point in ~2013 but didn't publicize it widely. Should the Amazon listing start over from scratch for that type of change?

I try to only buy things with recognizable brand names on Amazon. The premium you pay to an American intermediary for crap that was ultimately produced in China anyway is the cost of quality control.
