yes, not everyone would consider it to be a scam, but it seems strange that his worldcoin has been largely ignored in these discussions of the implications of his leadership. I think worldcoin reveals a lot about him. I am very hesitant to

Bitcoin mining is all about sustainability. It is a stable source of electricity demand, even during off peak times, thus bitcoin mining sustains electricity demand, encouraging those power plants that would otherwise power down during off

The worldcoin scam suggests to me that Altman is likely to do evil, even if he might have good intentions.

This is just an ad, and it does not at all answer the question of the price or value versus competing cables other than trying to make a weird claim that because the cable looks cool on the inside with its complicated little bits, it surely

Walking has become either paywalled, miserable, or impossible for too many people in USA, and routine walking is generally deleted from the culture. It should be better. Somehow much of europe manages to allow people the possibility to ste

I agree with you. The article even mentions that streaming services were interested in buying it. I do not understand why trash it rather than sell it to someone for a modest amount. Why did they spend the money to finish it? Are there s

Daylight after work should be a basic worker right. Without it, mental well being and potentially physical health suffer for many. Sunlight is one factor, and the opportunity to have a little time to exercise outdoors (often not possible b

I was not clear, but I was referring to the phenomenon of twitter posts from various corporate, entertainment, or political "celebrities" being reposted here. I just do not understand the motivation.

This might be just a goofy conspiracy theory, but the steady stream of these fake drama twitter posts feels a bit like an incognito twitter ad campaign.

It should be a basic human right to experience daylight every day after work, and it feels absolutely necessary for general mental well-being for me. If after-work daylight means going to work in the dark for most, it is because the standar

I would not call it clickbait. "nuclear test" is a term that has a specific meaning, and it seems that most people would read the headline as meaning that the US has set off a nuclear (fission or fusion) bomb, unless I am complet

That link is a paper about Antarctic winter sea ice extent maxima , when your claim was about polar sea ice minima , but I did not follow your argument in any case. You seem to imply that short term year on year variations in Antarcti

The M2 in the macbook air tested would seem to be an 8 core cpu. According to wikipedia, the macbook air M2 models all have 8 cpu cores: 4 "performance" cores plus 4 "efficiency" cores.

It seems appropriate to point out that the article is 4 months old, which makes me wonder why it was posted now. I would be curious to read the article again in 2025.
