I find cars a kind of an extension of human personal freedom, as I have the agency to drive anywhere where I want. I guess trains are more "totalitarian", as they only drive on set routes and need a lot of people to service. Still

I think it's crucial to very early on understand the scope, rules and UI of the game: what is possible? what is the goal? what are the elements to interact with? then it's all about exposure and deliberate practice

Two money aspects that I find useful, which weren't mentioned in the article: Price per use: if I buy X, how much/often will I use it vs. it's price Time sacrifice: considering my current hourly wage, how many hours of my lif

I have to chuckle a bit each time I read about “living wages” and such in the developed world, having spent my years from 18-24 on an equivalent of about 250$/month in Eastern Europe. And yes, I also had to pay my rent from that money

Don’t you ever eat sweets despite of not being hungry? I don’t think the issue is people overdosing rice or legumes because they are so hungry. The issue seems to me like quick comfort foods that we eat not to get full but because they just

I understand, but appetite/hunger seems to be just a part of the issue. The second part being people (myself included) using food to comfort ourselves. I feel bad -> I seek tasty food to comfort myself, even if I am not hungry. The

At a risk of being ignorant: Isn’t obesity a function of calories intake and calories burn rate? If so, why do we even need a drug for that? What should a possible drug target here? Assuming no changes in behaviour and thus a continued stea

I have the same feeling with streaming movies - it is often easier to watch them illegally then to pay for them and watch them legally. But I also suspect I can’t be the only one in this situation, so I assume the problem has go be global a

I can’t be the only one who is rubbed in a very bad way by Musks moronic tweets. The Mad King’s Twitter behaviour seem more and more trumpesque.

A simple program to simulate primitive Artificial Life using simple rules of attraction or repulsion among atom-like particles, producing complex self-organzing life-like patterns.

I liked it a lot and am very surprised about much negative comments here. The episode of Rogan vs. Jobs is interesting as well.

How about news optimizing for news pieces that are the most controversial/fear inducing/outrageous to get more clicks and thus more revenue?

But hey, THEY GOT BREXIT DONE! Poor dumb mfs... But to keep things in perspective, they fear 6,4% unemployment by 2025. Spain is currently at around 13%.

There is no difference between code and data. Data is code. Data is code that retains its identity.

I bought RM2 last year and sent it back within 2 weeks. It is just a way too isolated experience for me - next to no connectivity sold as a “feature”. Instead I went with a Android-based Boox e-ink tablet, which allows me to run OneNote, Ed

wtf is this foto, like how is this iphone half the size of the mac? also, is it taped to the mac? I bet it would actually just drag the lid down with its weight. so it stands on something?

I read yesterday about some similar cases in Sweden and sabotage of train infrastructure in northern Germany. I default to the obvious culprit: Russia. Am I wrong, and if yes, how?

Are you suggesting the Ukrainian postal service pulled it off? This was months in the making; I bet they already have projects for the liberation of Crimea ready.
