This is a conspiracy theory. At least one of the deaths is not suspicious, and the person's family have said so themselves.

This is all, and will forever be, a fantasy. You cannot make a product without profit. Linux wins in the data centre because the corporations who make money off selling compute have commoditized their complement. "Linux" wins when

One of the very weirdest things about this article is that it takes absolutely no account of how many people were alive . It is couched entirely in averages. In fact, the author is so serious about this that he can write "it doesn’t s

That's a kind of open question. You can't select on specific polymorphisms, because intelligence is very polygenic (as are most health conditions). You can select on polygenic scores, which sum up the effects of millions of polymo

I've got these guys book "The pragmatist's guide to crafting religion". It's basically a highly rational guide to starting your own cult. Simultaneously interesting and bonkers.

You can also create automations to turn grayscale back off for apps that need it. I have ones for maps, photos and whatsapp (since people send a lot of pics in my group). They run when the app is activated/deactivated.

Very interested to see this. I have a Supernote which has passed the basic gadget test: I still use it regularly after the initial few weeks. But it's true that it is limited to (a) taking notes in meetings and (b) reading and annotati

I think it's kind of sad. Roaring Kitty started off doing pretty deep analysis of Gamestop. He was an early contrarian who confidently and politely disputed critics on r/wallstreetbets, bringing data to show the company was underv

>The political climate in the 1960s was far more tense than it is today, which fueled the space race in ways that forced both sides to give their absolute best efforts to move space exploration forward. I'd say the climate is as ten

I think one problem R might have is that the core language is developed in a fairly tight-knit and informal way. There's no equivalent to Python's PEP process, say. For a young language the informality might be an advantage, but f

Airlines around the world, and many US-specific online forms, sternly refuse to accept that my surname is Hugh-Jones. So it becomes HughJones which makes me seem like a rogue robot.

This sounds like "Microsoft has done some bad things, ergo it must be a villain that makes the world worse". That doesn't seem like a sensible evaluation strategy.

Penelope Fitzgerald is a great writer. I've read The Blue Flower, Offshore and The Bookshop. The first two are superb. The Blue Flower is set in Jena in the 18th century - a place which was as culturally influential as Palo Alto today.

Sure, I'm fine with that. What I object to is people using the US's flaws or past mistakes as a reason for isolationism or surrender to far worse actors.

I think you’re probably right, and to those who share that anti-US government sentiment here, I’d like to say: “wake up”! If you think the US is bad, wait till you try Russia or China. I have three refugees in my house. They may never now r
