The actual process is essentially the same than in an industrialized country: trucks that move goods from A to B. It's just that A, B, and the agent moving the goods are very different. By "different", I mean "much worse

Ahh, I love this article. I'm among those that dislike all my photos with small objects that don't look as I see them. I guess building photo optics that do not use linear perspective is out of the question. I haven't got tim

There is conflicting information about how bad is the Internet for kids[^1], but assuming we find out it is bad, and kids must be disconnected at any cost or (put something terrible here), then it could be a good business idea to create &qu

You poor thing. If you were a Homo Sapiens, you will be made of even superior technology. Therefore I assume you are one of those flaccid AIs that Sapiens is so infatuated with these days. Sapiens should be properly going nuts about playing

Thanks for your answer. Yes, this is not a case of lacking science, research, or even treatment capabilities. It is a case of too many hoops to jump. Maybe twenty years from now some people with a high degree of knowledge, skills, and some

It is a "follow the crowd" thing. Or following a recipe for a successful story. It's not a problem only of Ted talks, read or watch any commercial fiction and they will bore you to death with the same story archetypes. The pr

Totally off-track, but seeing this font made me wonder: we have steam-punk, which is nostalgia for the times of the steam engine. Isn't it time we have a similar genre for the technology of the mid-twentieth-century?

This. It will fall like a hammer, and nobody is really seeing it coming. It may seem like I'm trolling, but I think this has the potential to result in global riots in a few decades.

California's population is 39 million. That in turn gives you thousands of "verticals" e.g housing (which is a big group of things, not just one), education (likewise), social security, and every industry sector. And they are

You are making a really good point. I do like E2E and privacy, but for the broader aim of getting people to generally distrust the Internet, any step that makes its use a hazard is good, simply put. The Internet has incredible value, I can

It's funny how we define "secular" by monogamous, pair marriage, which is a religious construct. By that metric, Israel is roughly as secular as Iran and USA.

It's pretty clear they think child safety is more important than E2E: > We are not opposed to end-to-end encryption, as long as it is implemented in a way that does not put children at risk. The rest is fluff.

According to the article, the reason for the protests is a hike in fuel prices. I'm going now in a tangent, but I wonder how much more of this we are going to see everywhere, specially if governments acted in the best interest of our e

I think this question is moot. If you are a US citizen, the US government has effectively ordered any bank, anywhere in the world, to report the status of your bank account to them. It may just be a matter of time until they find a way to s
