Worst-case scenario you might just have a wonderful time for several hours and decide you'd like to do it again with some kind of guide. Anecdotally it's very uncommon to hear about people having a bad time or even a neutral exper

The first region to somehow effectively ban any access to Facebook, TikTok, Instagram and social media for people under the age of 21 will raise the first generation of young people to rule over the rest of the world's social media add

The studies are designed this way to keep the shaman in the equation when the drugs become treatments. Informal polling over decades shows MDMA is pretty impressive on its own. We need a clinical study where a group of veterans with PTSD is

This is why the objective admission system used by the University of California is so important. Nobody can game their way into a UC and IIRC, being a legacy only DQs you from some financial assistance they offer to 'first in family&#x

It will work well in a lot of places where lag is an issue. Should make lag-free wireless video game controllers and full-bandwith lag-free headphones a reality.

What timing. Somebody at Apple needs to buy a PS5 and spend 10 minutes with the dualSense controller in ASTRO's playroom. Mac and PC won't ever get the full dualSense experience and that means they're outmoded. Sony found a w

The low hanging fruit can't be picked twice. That, and how many unhealthy/vulnerable people just die on average week for no particular reason? Seems like at least some of those individuals should be cases of a flu/virus takin

Anyone who goes all around talking about one thing that they did back in the 70s the way he does is hard to take seriously. That and anytime he's interviewed on the subject he'll be very clear that 'attempting to do his study

For the record, Zimbardo is a fraudulent pseudo scientist. Even in a best case scenario Zimbardo's work doesn't qualify as any sort of actual science.

I would try piranha before trying more heat as the piranha is less likely to warp or discolor the stainless. If you know what you're doing the equation boils down to determining if the container's worth more than the piranha solut

Exactly - the fundamental problem is that it takes an above average person to understand this. Tech is something that most lawmakers, judges, attorneys and jurors don't get and asking them to regulate it is a mistake. They'll open

IIRC, Siri's so far behind the curve that there's almost no possible way for it to catch up to more advanced assistants. That said, China could theoretically tie Siri into its AI which could help level the playing field for both A

When America (inevitably) makes the logical move to a singe-payer healthcare system maybe our civil liability rules will change as a result. EU countries have public attractions that Americans couldn't dream of being allowed to experie

Could it be used to track down journalists or prove that a certain journalist took a specific photograph? Sounds like the photographic equivalent of guns that put unique stamps on their fired shells - theoretically making it easier to ID th

It'd be interesting to look at why and how that 27% started using ad blocking software. I'm suspicious that that 27% of users is mostly made up of a specific subset of tech workers and their family and friends.

The default cooperative online mode ends up being a lot less interesting than going at it entirely by yourself offline from start to finish. All the clutter wrecks the immersion/isolation while the freebies end up wrecking the leveling

I would label AW2 as garbage - a schizophrenia sim paired with a dull board game where you arrange post-it notes. Remedy/Sam Lake dropped the ball. Instead of making another game cut from the same brilliant Alan Wake cloth they botched

GM has had the same type of root access to its cars since around 2009. Police can use it to stop cars in high speed chases and it can be used to track stolen (behind on payments...) cars.

YouTube should offer ad-free videos that have the ad fees paid ahead of time by the account that posted the video. Videos could be made to be ad-free for certain areas, demographics, etc. to maximize viewers as needed. In this way the vide
