In addition to the scope and specificity arguments, there is also the reasonable expectation of privacy. Geofence warrants catch up a ton of innocent citizens and violate their 4th amendment right to be secure in their persons and papers. O

My hammer is also really bad at torque measurements. I'll get right on duct taping a torque wrench to it so it will pass that test ASAP.

If you need any more proof that we live in an extremely non-violent society, all you need to do is realize how easy it is to create and deploy weapons like this and how rarely it actually happens.

I think it would be pretty cool if we could urbanize food production. Turning farm land back into wilderness would go a long way to reducing our impact on the environment.

I don't know how you MDs/DOs do it. You give a dude medication knowing that it has a small chance to turn his stomach into goo because it will stop his brain arteries from popping like a stress ball in a hydraulic press. Sometimes

Beware of the false equivalence. AI is not just a calculator that is automating a tedious and repetitive task. It is also automating away things like creativity, research and critical thinking. In addition, we are seeing more and more peopl

That kind of makes me wonder if quantum mechanics is necessary for gravity to work properly. Like, without tunneling, photons wouldn't be able to escape the gravity of the particles that they originated from resulting in a dead theoret

Carrots and beans take up a fraction of the land required for cattle. Especially considering that most beans are grown to feed cattle.

Cattle agriculture is not cows. It's human beings farming cattle. Also, they are only regenerative under certain conditions. Cows are especially bad in wet soil areas and they can damage the area reducing plant growth through pugging.

It has very little to do with Japan's geography. It's actually because Japan was too poor after World War 2 to implement a road system. The rail companies were also the land developers so the train service operated at a loss and w

I believe they are referring to the dumpster support model. The hardware is so cheap that, if it fails, you toss it in a dumpster and buy more by the gross. Using Kubernetes to spread loads across your less reliable nodes ensures high avail
