I'm confused about what is actually going on here. The FDA claims [1] that Tianeptine can't be used as a supplement ingredient so selling it should be illegal. That was from 2018 so there is no reason it should still be able to be

It isn't just hyped; popular reporting on fusion power hasn't been very accurate. It doesn't help fusion power that things like this are trumpeted as a breakthrough when the reality is that the INF was never was a viable way

This post is mostly misleading. Its not clear at all that blue light has a significant impact on sleep or eyestrain; the science is ambigious. The main piece of research referenced suggests that dark mode is worse in situations of low ambie

Was this written by ChatGPT? It is completly wrong but written in a confident manner with broad sweeping generalizations that leave no doubt of the truth. It even asserts multiple times that the Ford Pinto was made out of aluminum.

First of all, it isn't clear this is the case. But this entire comment thread on the AGPL misses the mark. It doesn't matter that the AGPL hasn't been tested in court or what fine grained distinctions you apply to the license

Instructure doesn't need to comply with AGPL obligations because it owns the product. It isn't licensing it to itself under the AGPL.

One person commented specifically that the source was vetted (not the story). There was also another comment about how they couldn't believe a senior intelligence could be wrong ( so no reason to get a second source). This doesn't

Yeah, I'm confused about the wording here. That is the crux of their entire argument and I would think if they had evidence the Little Ice Age interfered with Mao hunting as opposed to simple overexploitation they would say so.

This isn't true. Newsweek is reporting an unverified tweet which is from an account focused on the conflict in Ukraine. The tweet itself seems to be referring to the letter on sunday signed by 227 lawmakers urging the death penalty.

I don't agree with the premise of that hypothetical. Nuclear blackmail is only an effective strategy if it seems credible i.e. if the blackmailer is really in a desperate situation. If putin is faced with a situation where he would los

I would think that a head of state with substantial assets administered by the government and a massive public subsidy for the royal family would be in a position to lobby the government. The ruling party in the UK at the moment is pretty f

State commitments in New York and New Jersey mean that off-shore windfarms are guaranteed to be profitable. The cost of extraction doesn't equal the cost of the land or right to drill for oil.
