The Epicureans would put this on their tombstone: I was not. I was. I am not. I do not care. You will die and you won't care. Why worry about that fact now and ruin your life? Socrates made another point: do you mind going to sleep at

Also mantis shrimp and naked mole rats. These are all creatures that have evolved a reproducing queen and sterile workers. However, I don't like the definition of calling a colony of such creatures an "organism" because it i

Multicellularity evolved independently many times (25 according to Wikipedia). It first potentially to evolved 3 billion years ago.

I feel like most content generation has been going toward lowest common denominator for a while.

There's plenty of contractors working on space technology that would hire someone without citizenship, I'm sure.

Their concept of a "two year old" is completely different from our concept. So though the words may translate the same, it's just a different definition. For them, it's equally weird to think that a child would go throu

That's not what the word strawman means.

Money isn't everything, but it's really hard to run an effective school or cyber security enterprise without money.

There are reports Wagner is driving into Rostov unopposed. Seems unlikely this is going to be quickly contained.

Do you have a link so I can read more? I haven't heard anything about the advances in desalinization.

If it was truly identical, i.e. same anatomical and biological features, it would be proof that something had transported them there, and would therefore be a branch of life from Earth.

All life is equally ancient and the pressure of evolution has molded all life for equal amounts of time. (But not necessarily to equal extents as the ability to adapt is itself an evolutionary process.) What we may find is an ancient branc

Also, use of the word "babes" screams mid nineties.

This is why I've been playing indie ges almost exclusively lately. The core game play is just so much tighter in a small game vs. AAA games where they implement a huge amount of features.

My prediction: the name will be bought by a competitor. The quality will nose dive in the next 5 years. The brand will be shut down following a fall in sales 5-10 years after that.

How would they actually know (unless there was very specific evidence of something like a lab accident associated with it) that these people were actually the first to fall ill and not just very early infections?

A title of "theory mostly sound, except some extreme edge cases," would cover about 95% of science research.

This isn't even true in it's face. The lingua franca the term is derived from was a trading language across different cultures. It was used across the Mediterranean when there was a common language due to geopolitical or religiou

Sounds like BS to me. Cows would have an environmental impact both by their release of methane when they digest the food they eat, and the hydrocarbons it takes to transport them/their food etc. And the electric power it takes to suppo

There are legitimate use cases for reddit interactions. Some of the smaller communities in particular, discussing specific games or health conditions for example, actually are excellent. Most are not that good, however.

There are trade offs for living longer. For example, children of older fathers are more likely to have birth defects.

There are almost certainly easier solutions that at least mitigate the problem even if it doesn't fully solve the problem. A similar problem might be type 1 diabetes, where an issie with the immune system causes the body attacks the c

How viable is a Wikipedia like approach to StackExchange (and reddit, given the ongoing drama) where a non-profit takes over governance?

I like the virus as quine analogy much better than generic DNA as a quine, personally. Seems much more meaningful.

No it doesn't, it holds a recipe for creating proteins under specific chemical and biological conditions. If you put human DNA in a chicken egg, it wouldn't hatch a human.

I just don't think it's accurate to say DNA has instructions in the same way a computer does. It's more like a recipe for a chemical reaction. If we expand the definition of a quine away from being self reproducing code and

This was delivered by a remote exploit, not a supply chain issue. How would buying a domestically produced phone prevent this?
