The impression I get (from friends, I’ve never lived there myself) is that London is great if you are rich (discretionary money/time) or young snd single (discretionary time with low expenses). For those in the middle, workers with fam

Not so ultra-secret if they got themselves exposed this way, rather than the numerous other cyber warfare companies out there.

It’s harder than it looks to write this kind of article and to keep it both witty and flowing. I enjoyed it.

One thing that may save Intel’s bacon big time is the increase of defense budgets worldwide as many countries go into a rearmament drive. All forms of weaponry today require chips, lots and lots of them.

Let’s propose a Faustian (or is it anti-Faustian?) deal of sorts: One can go in for rejuvenation and get a younger body and brain, but: One has to sign over all worldly possessions either to one’s heirs or to the state. In other words - to

Heinlein’s “Methuselah’s Children”, one of his books in the Lazarus Long universe, made the prediction that replacing old blood with new would have a rejuvenating effect. The book was published in the early paper-SF age, the 1940s/19

So, are there FANGS that not only are not laying off, but are even hiring or raising salaries? Or all they looking at each other and copycatting?

Hopefully instead of just skedaddling with their gains and leaving the mess behind, the founders of this surveillance tech can provide some countermeasures to enable those left behind to evade the Eye.

You can do pushups, pull-ups and chin-ups at home with only your floor and a bar. These exercises may sound like something out of high school, but they are excellent for all upper body. Biceps, triceps, shoulders, back. Even abs get definit

So in a sense the problem is exacerbated by people looking to needlessly complain about their peers.

These kind of stories coming out of the US make me feel like I'm reading something insane and Kafkaesque. I therefore want to be skeptical at first. Does anyone have direct, first hand experiences of this kind? Not from the media. Firs

What is described in the article reminds me of how Philip K. Dick’s “autofac” would probably have worked, had he known of 3d printing then. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autofac

Even if one third of Russias nuclear weapons work (2k out of 6k), its far more than enough to destroy the US and Europe. The counterstrike would obliterate Russia. Eighty percent of the rest of the world would starve (all the way to death s

Did Israel claim responsibility? The article headline is very declarative. Countries rarely take overt responsibility such actions, preferring ambiguity. Iran has no lack of enemies. Saudi Aabia or the United States could have launched the

The qualificatiom I made in my question was to ask what the effect eould be on us if there was no two way exchange of information. We see them, they're far away, they are unaware of us or don't care. I see this as the most likely

So let’s say that within the next few years astronomers finally see incontrovertible evidence of intelligent alien life. Megastructures, the exhausts from fusion drives, etc. No question about it. But vey far away, no question of it physica

I personally feel a company that is so nitpicking in its treatment of employees is shooting itself in the foot. Perhaps the accountant had saved them a million dollars by taking initiative and doing their job properly over the years? Now, t

Was Wozniak already “the Woz” of Apple fame when this story took place? In which case I assume he could afford the best lawyers on the planet if necessary, plus the President calling to get him out of trouble. An ordinary civilian might fal

FAANGs firing, fast food hiring. Is there a real insight to be had here? Or is this a blip (no offense to folks who lost jobs) that will soon be covered by other economic events?

I found this a refreshing change from the regular “Russians/ Ukrainians are total losers/heroes” fluff. Gives the gritty picture with real numbers, issues, and tactics of both sides. Exposes some peacetime fallacies, misconception

A workaround to do some of this is create a group with one other person then remove them (tell them first what you're doing so they don't feel hurt). This leaves a group with just yourself as a member. You can then send yourself m

All fat loss will also thin facial fat, and therefore loose skin. I am curious: 1) Does the drug affect the face particularly or specifically more than the rest of the body when conpared to conventional dieting, and 2) whether a more gradua

Probably the best way forwards is not scolding women or young persons but rather extending healthy productive lifespan and raising retirement ages accordingly. This would require great investment in innovative anti aging and longevity resea
