As someone who did this to their parents when I was 14, didn’t attend any school past that, went to university (found creative ways to get in), dropped out, still got a job and then ended up being at the top earners in my profession, I can

Isn’t it fundamental in the nature of copyright holders and producers to want to destroy and limit access to past content, especially ones that they don’t profit from? There is a finite amount of attention and consumer money, and the attent

As someone with dysgraphia (more info here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysgraphia ), I often find the discussion about handwriting both amusing and sometimes disheartening. I understand that handwriting may help so

Yet I’ve worked in two types of places, the ones that had a lot of menial labourers and thus lots of shuffling of stairs and carrying of nail buckets, and in places that had very few to no menial labourers and just automated away the menial

Huh, cardboard cans for motor oil, thanks! Didn’t even realise that was a thing.

I might be confused, but cooking oil is still quite commonly sold in cans in many countries ? I bet there must be some in the US too if you are there ? https://www.odysea.com/product/odysea-greek-extra-vrigin-oli...

How material were the post offices “overbooking” of profits by false sales registered via this bug ? How plausible is it that in-fact the internal narrative was that the post office was wildly more profitable than it was, but that they just

Fair but under that worldview which I admit is likely in athletes, one is more likely to have sound advice and a medical team trying to do their best for them, the other less so. I’d speculate a US medical team keen on a gold metal is less

So I think there are many layers and levels to sport engagement, and also there are clear studies that wealthier societies pump more into sport. Studies do show that more well off societies get more super athletes etc. However there is also

What exactly is the purpose of sports, beyond mere spectacle? Is it right to commend someone merely because they possess the ideal genetics? These genetics might make them naturally responsive to training or, controversially, to performance

So to give this a serious answer, why not ? Most but not all of the world has made this illegal because it’s generally viewed as harmful, to society, to the business and to the owner him self quite often. Companies are social enterprises an

Not to be pedantic, receiving is actually traceable to a motivated enough agent with sufficiently expensive equipment, especially if your receiver is home made or poorly built, due to oscillator leak back, there are a few other effects that

Foam on timber is a bad idea, for those talking about open cell vs closed cell foam in this thread, beware, both are bad for timber. Im renovating s Victorian property at the moment and when I run the simulations on condensation and vapour

I don’t think most of us are getting off this planet, not with human bodies. I do however love Greg Evans vision of the future of colonisation. Von Neumann probes and we just send the people as data. In one of his books there are even the “

So long as society isn’t willing to address some basic matters, slavery and exploitation will exist. Finite resources, unrestrained population growth, paired with rampant individualism where everyone wants more than their neighbour. I wonde

Because I suspect that under focused analysis the signal won’t quite look like cosmic radiation background. Now I also haven’t done the analysis, but information, and entropy are funny things. Will they get to watch a human TV show ? Hell n

So I am curious how this comment will go, but I suspect this might be an unpopular take. A while ago there was a concentrated effort by the right in the US to “regain” the mind space of universities, towards ideas of the alt-right and tradi

I would try saying not engaging in the forced social activity, find a quiet corner with people you like and do what works for you. I used to think I couldn’t get away with it. Years later I appreciated as long as you don’t flaunt it, people

Except we have excellent geological records on the matter so we know what weather was like mostly across periods. This isn’t really something we have been wrong on for a while. Ofcourse we can always be proven otherwise.. This is also backe

Something that I notice in a lot of comments in threads like this: “but it snowed massively at N event, thus climate change is expected variance and false” What most models show across the board is actually more energetic events, and more c

Japan is a very different society than the US or Europe, the comment on colouring hair being an incredibly rebelious thing in Japan is entirely valid. Not having black hair has lead to bullying so extreme in some situations that it has lead

Just as a small note, data backup isn't just for hardware or service failure, it's also for ooops I just deleted my bucket. Yes you can rebuild, but that in my case would take quite a few days and money in compute. That having bee

Interesting, thanks for the comment, actually I started reading on this because of 23andMe as well and I'm on the opposite spectrum, which means coffee doesn't affect me much, the same can't be said of my partner who has like

I find it hard to take articles around this seriously when they don't take into consideration the huge variability humans show in metabolising coffee and it's related health effects. A light introduction can be found here: https:

I tend to feel that emotionally charged language shows part of the problem preventing us from resolving these things. Morality is as much a social science as many things, however without taking into account a pretty cold analysis of why we
