Funnily enough, the most fun content on Twitter, reddit and instagram these days are repost of TikToks. One very bold and interesting move by TikTok which I believe is a huge reason for their success is allowing videos to be downloaded as m

I don't think that's a rule, I think Twitter's length restriction has lead to quite a few good things too. Restrictions in general are a great way to motivate creativity. Of course there are limits to this. There are times wh

He did study Physics but his main field is science education, I think it's fair to assume a physics professor would know a bit more. I also think it's a bit of your own preconceived notion at play here assuming that calling someon

To be fair, they both agreed to make the whole bet public. They went on video, with "science celebrities" like Neil Degrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, and I believe they even signed something? It's kinda hard to backup from that. I

in the email above, "that produces 200 watts" is the wrong baseline. That's the current value for a different technology.

You can change leadership, but changing a whole company culture is extremely hard. It's not something you change overnight, and it takes a lot of active effort, with people fighting back and complaining about "back in my days, we

You can explore and discover new worlds without raping, killing and exploiting the new people you find. The problem wasn't the exploration, and there's nothing inherent about exploration that forces you to murder others.

Hmm, I can understand getting banned for having a side account. But GP claims they fully deleted their account, and created a new one. What is Facebook gonna do, punish them for no longer having a FB account? What if I happened to have dele

If you're not going to win a prize, why would you need to be kept in the loop about an internal vulnerability that is being worked on? As for getting a prize, it goes back to the dupe issue which is the source of a lot of abuse. There&

That's unfair, because Assange's own actions also veered heavily around 2016, so to assume the arguments about him were all astroturfing is extremely misleading. If tomorrow Sanders starts spouting antivaxx stuff, and half the int

No single person can be attributed all the blame, but any person who (illegally) tried to influence the election is not a good person in my book. That's like saying Russia's misinformation campaign had zero influence and it was al
