Well, now that you mention it, I'd just like to remind you that people are a lot weirder than you might think! Having incisors to be a different colour (say, a brilliant red) under artificial lights could definitely be a thing people d

The article did not mention compression at all.. surely it would be worth expending the space for a small decompressor in the web server, so that books stored in the device were sent decompressed and the number of books stored could be 5x o

Well its funny. I remember reading years ago that the big problems in Europe would start when the Greenland glaciers started melting, adding significant cold water to the Labrador Current, and pushing the AMOC to the south. Never mind the

See also, Gunther von Hagens more recent plastination technique which, as I recall, replaces the water by acetone, then boils the acetone out which draws replacement plastic into the cells. If you use a hard epoxy, you get a solid piece but

If you re-read the article, you might see that it mentions that the citations do not necessarily cover the AI summary. The linked pages do not make the claims that the AI summary makes. That is the context of the ruling. Google made up the

Surely the number of neurons is not the whole story. Human brains have approximately 86 billion and are almost definitely conscious, but there are many other animals with a lot fewer (gorilla: 34 billion, dog: 2-3 billion, guinea pig: 240 m

In the UK, the Department of Education guidance is that schools should be mobile-phone free. Students use computers to access the web fairly regularly. Guess that would be problematic then, since many schools policies is that mobile phones

I just opened the developer tools, then chose 'Separate Window' from the menu. The developer tools are now on my other screen, and then I clicked Reply to your message. The developer tools window that I had open is not relating to

This is only half-true. Normally, the bully can escalate further than you are capable of, since they are experienced at it. Sometimes they can even get their henchmen to hold you at a distance so your resistance has no effect. It worked for

No conversation at all needed to happen. LaLiga got a court order. The order specifically stated that if LaLiga flag your IP address, the internet providers in Spain must block it during the match. Cloudflare have nothing to do with it. Who

I also think that was a little too far fetched for the real world currently, but .. I'm not 100% certain. I have no doubt at all that there are sociopathic CEOs out there who would think this is an entirely reasonable proposition in o

Yes it mentioned firming piano hammers in the article. From what I remember, a piano hammer is a shaped piece of wood (or several?) with a leather strip around the striker part? What is the difference for you between hardening and softening

Its not AI, its humanity itself. There is no AI, because none of those tools are actually autonomous. There no AI commenters here or anywhere, it is always humans causing that slop to be posted. Anyway, this idea goes back to long before

No. I checked, and you can of course donate to Led By Donkeys either as a one-off or monthly via their web page https://donate.ledbydonkeys.org/ but they don't have a way to contribute to specific campaigns. Thanks for

As I understood it, even in the UK there is the concept of a 'reasonable man' as in, the contract should perform as a 'reasonable man' would expect. If it does not, that is enough to get such terms discarded. So, you can

They do this at my local hospital at least. There is a plethora of colours for different staff roles. I understand this is not consistent across the whole NHS but in general the principle is mostly followed. eg, see https://ww

Not to take from the thrust your comment but just so you know, bumblebees and honeybees are not the same species.. Bumblebee nests are somewhat different than hives, and the way in which they develop is different also.

Yes. Generally, if you know where it is, it is not lost. If you don't then it is. But, it also depends if you want to know where it is. If you don't know where something is and don't want to, its not lost its discarded.

Actually, as a British over-55-under-70 myself I would support this. I've always thought that drivers should have to take a test every ~10 years in any case. The main problem I see with over-70s renewing their licence currently is that

If you are sitting in a waymo vehicle, and somebody cuts you off - do you even notice? They don't have them round here but my idea is that the vehicle itself is doing all the work, you can just continue reading your book, chat or get

Ok so the plane is pretty much toast, though perhaps only the bottom of the fuselage as not sure if the wingtips touched the ground. I'm wondering about the runway at this point, does that damage the runway significantly? It seems that

Ok so, devils advocate view here. Russians could do this exactly because Spain is on the fence and they would rather they were more antagonistic. They actually want war with Europe, so they can do whatever they like and claim it is Europe
