Does anyone know where the "Alkalized Water" fad came from? I honestly don't get it

One day soon, when we can no longer grow enough food due to soil erosion, and mass migration to northern Europe & the US will make today's migration problems look like nothing. I'm sure that shells investors will be happy that

Your facts are completely wrong, the case you're referring to has been headline and front-page news on the BBC website for 2 days, I only heard about the tree through this hn link.

I wish more people would try this. People who can't or are unwilling to do something themselves often try to project that unwillingness onto other people. Good Luck!

Yeah same, I worry though that this is just a side-effect of our skills being currently under-supplied for the current demand. We can afford to let people come to us a little bit more than someone who (even though probably has a wealth of e

The government are denying the 'U-Turn' which of course, as always, confirms it :P https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-66716502

I worry that WASM will make it a LOT easier to DRM web content, even making things like copying text difficult. This will have a detrimental effect on third party tools and plugins like accessibility tools and ad blockers. True, you can alr

As someone who takes pride in their work and who tries to always work the hours I'm paid for (and often regrettably more, but trying to cut back on that ...) It can be surprising to find out that a lot of people, really are, very lazy.

A reminder that websites wouldn't need to do this if their intention wasn't to track you all over the internet. It's google, facebook etc that are trying to shove these things down your throat, not the EU.

I completely agree with maxehmookau here. Ofcom is not the problem. Ofcom does a lot of good in the UK.

I had a Japanese teacher who liked to talk about how surprised she was about the title in English. She also gave me a little insight into the word 神隠し which, apparently comes from a saying. When children used to go missing, people used to

Yeah I can definitely see this. Maybe the problem then isn't that we don't feel we can approach people at work, but that we don't have long term, large social groups where we can meet potential partners

But then this is just the symptom of the larger problem which is online dating in general. If you only give people a few metrics by which to measure the quality of their potential partner, and then give them a surplus of profiles to choose

Online dating is rough. I worried over the pandemic that the main place people used to form social bonds that could turn into a romantic relationship, Work, would disappear as people retreated from offices and started working from home. But

This game looks cool, but having trouble when releasing a platformer these days sadly doesn't surprise me, its one of the toughest markets in games right now.

I confess myself completely unsurprised that amazon interview performance has no bearing on actual job performance. I would bet money that most companies have this problem.

Hear hear, though that doesn't stop everyone asking me about the royal family all the time. It follows me around like a disease. From living abroad I get the feeling that the royal family is a lot more popular abroad than it is at home

The resteraunt one maybe has some weight behind it, but I fail to see how this is awkward: "I rented a vacation home on the cape for the weekend, wanna come hang out on the beach?" In fact, a friend of mine invited me to do the sa

Possession of "synthesised" CSAM (or extream pornography such as rape) is already illegal in the UK. There have been prosecutions too. I believe the reasoning was that studies revealed that viewing synthesised content, lead to a h

Maybe I worded it badly. I was attempting to make a distinction between moderation rules that are designed to be fair based on some world view VS rules that are automatically generated based on some sample set to appear convincingly fair

I can see where the author is comming from . . . although its a bit of romanticism. Japanese is extremely regular, which makes the grammar easier to learn though it is completely different to any language with indo-european roots. For valua

I don't yet understand why this is better than Fission. Surely Fission provides us with unlimited carbon free energy (given enough fissionable material). What will Fusion give us that Fission can't already? Is it safer perhaps?
