Potatoes and Tomatoes are very similar plants. You can graft them together and have a living plant that grows tomatoes on top and potatoes in the roots. Potatoes also produce fruits that are similar to cherry tomatoes. They taste like gross

The wording ‘divisive’ in all these laws is interesting. Why is this the operative word here? Banning ‘concepts’ on the grounds that they are ‘divisive’ is some of the one of the most Orwellian language I’ve ever read. It just seems like la

The big platforms have no ability to silence anyone. They have the ability to limit your use of their resources, which is well within their rights.

This is gobbledygook. The title, in a software sense, implies a binary/Byte interpretation of the word ‘bit’. I clicked through and there’s an accompanying picture of drill bits. That’s illustrative of the overall level of coherence an

It is definitely a nuanced question. The definition of object is surely up for debate as well. A silly example: if one were to define an object as a string of 64 hex characters, even non-literate people could distinguish between any two dis

So much opinionated certainty. Seems like the only consensus is that the origin was (lab-leak || zoonotic). Given the unlikelihood of ever knowing the true origin story, future epidemic mitigation efforts should just assume both causes. His

Very cool. I've worked with underwater robots and radio comms are very difficult due to water's propensity to absorb so much of the RF energy. I'd be curious to know the technical details of the radio system.

This is a twitter post of a screenshot. There's almost no substance here. We don't know why or even if this happened. So the immediate leap to talk of violence as a reaction is incendiary.

Were any laws broken by Twitter? Don’t businesses in the US have nearly every right to arbitrarily deny service to people (with a few exceptions when it’s explicitly denying on the basis of race, etc.)? Twitter literally didn’t exist 15 yea

This is pretty cool. But you do need to trust their website and app, and your scanning device. Also, the website says you get about 192 bits of entropy. It's been a while since I did any combinatorics. It seems you should have 25! * ((

I’ve also wondered about that sort of hoteling system. It would seem to make sense if the companies get their own sanitation and testing protocols operational. It could allow them time to slowly ramp up the number of employees who share com

This is my biggest concern. These current stay-at-home orders (like California's) are very unsustainable and can only last so long. Unemployment is already well into double digits and government spending will outpace tax revenue way to
