Yes, I felt the same way! It is extraordinary to consider that the fungus is able to convince the trees to trade with it, seeming almost like it has plans to facilitate many such relationships over a network of exchange - like an undergroun

I once listened to a great radio show [1] on trees communicating (in a way) and sharing resources through a network of fungus that connects their roots in a forest. I can recommend listening if that interests you more than reading a related

Well, while there is an enormous mass of old material - your claim that new material is very rare strikes me as odd. The technology to create digital images and videos has gotten cheaper. Securely transmitting and storing media, and securel

I understand that making the shop rather than the manufacturer liable for such a thing would prima facie seem strange. But since amazon profited from the sale, where I'm from (Australia) they might need to show they weren't reckle

Does this mean some or all of Elephone, Doogee, Xiaomi, Ulefone etc are BBK brands? I have seen the cheap prices for all sorts of Chinese Android phones on online shops, and wondered if each brand was real. It seems less likely knowing that

Since I didn't find it in a Ctrl+F, I'll chime in to say that one of the advantages of self-driving cars is the scrutiny that accidents will come under, and how the results of that investigation can improve the driving of all othe

I have nothing against companies minimising their taxes in legal ways. I understand the various incentives at play, and it makes quite some sense - all parties concerned appear to be acting predictably. However: I do take issue with compani
