Can conclusion of the results be made after 20 days when the effects of minoxidil are seen after a few months? Or is this one of those rosemary-esque studies? I'm no scientist / biologist and I'd like for this sugar to save m

I contribute to OSM, and I've seen it in my own local town. It's not so much nefarious as it is negligent. They don't have local knowledge, see a satellite image of what seems like a road and decide it connects to existing re

I just tried it on Firefox with https://beta.maps.apple.com/abc , and all the POIs are incorrectly placed (at least in South Africa) and the roads are right-angled and un-named. Also, Apple makes an absolute mess when contri

This is how we did Shakespeare in school; left side original text and the right side, an explanation. It made it much more bearable than trying to decipher what's being said. Great project! I just wish it were in epub format to read on

Companies need to be slapped with a non-negligible percentage fine of revenue. They will learn fast to respect the law, and by extension, people's privacy.

I urge everyone to permanently boycott HP. In the past, I would only buy their products, from laptops to printers; everything develops a critical problem that cannot be fixed. They look to milk the customer. HP are a terrible company and th

They don't say on what order it is biodegradable. Is it a week? That would be useless for its use as a disposable carrier for food, beverages, etc; these are the things that are polluting our world on a large scale. Or is it a decade?

I'm fine with local "AI". I use the built-in translate feature quite extensively. I don't want it connecting to these outside services that prey on user-data and take advantage of user privacy; especially the likes of Go

Sounds like Russia (and Apartheid South Africa before this, where I'm from) forcing their citizens to fight this genocide. What kind of a democracy is Apartheid Israel, where you can't remove yourself from doing something you feel

HP is a terrible company and should be boycotted. I've had problems with their whole range from printers to laptops. Lenovo is a superior alternative.

Samsung official repairs are a major ripoff. They offered to repair my tablet for 3/4 the price of a new one. I said no, paid the non-refundable deposit, bought an entire logic board and did it myself. It worked out very cheap.

This is the funny side when a corporation's AI system gets things wrong, but these offered AI "helpers" are detrimental to society. Token generators like LLMs that have been "humanised" need to be heavily regulated
