The video left out to coninue to breathe. If someone makes a long turn, they might suffocate. I better email them to include that part in the video as well.

He did not say he made it himself. In this case you can objectively compare. But if you get it from a friend from a friend, chances are it got truffle aroma mixed in, with good intentions, without knowing it is artificial but nonetheless.

I'd say you can smell a dish unobtrusively without being in the waiters' faces with it.

How sure are you about the purity of the 'self-made' truffle oil?

I agree with his sentiment. My thesis in 2011 was on fuel cell technology. It is either inefficient, or too complicated, expensive and dangerous. Basically all you need to focus on is, hydrogen is the first element on the table of elements

This looks bad. Well, the writing was on the wall since the device scanning plans. I hope Apple loses a hefty sum of money for a clear wakeup call. They need to make a decision now, double down on the commitment to protect the users privacy

This blows my mind...should you use the biggest public offender of data stealing for keeping your privacy hidden. Complete idiocy.

Agreed. Yet it seems insanely hard to measure output... If the bare minimum gets the job done the same as the overachiever grinding as if their life depended on it, fair judgement would rate the output the same, right?

No I agree, but if you hire Einstein for Physics lectures, but for whatever reason let him mop the floors, you still take into account his abilities. Fellow floor moppers might say "Einstein mops slower and worse then me, I want more t

Work assignment does not equal ability. A phd can be assigned lowly management work, lets say tracking stuff, creating excel sheets and powerpoint presentations. That decision is made by the company and department. Does that mean they shou

It's not greed to hold a company accountable to its promises of compensation. Even so, surprisingly many researchers disclose a bug after setting a reasonable fix deadline, risking to forfeit compensation. Kudos to them!

Facebook (Meta), as well as Google, are truly evil companies in my view. I cannot muster much empathy for the layoffs. They work for a moral bankrupt company whose impact on the internet, or even the whole world, is extremely negative. Data

Not only everyone does it, nosepicking is instinctive behavior. Everything our body does for us (with maybe a handful of exceptions) is "healthy" for us, for survival of our genes, or best case, both. :)

Family and partners are just one of the numerous, totally valid reasons. Just taking time for private life is more then enough reason, no need to specify or differentiate. You should go home at 5pm and have a cool private life even without

Not going to entertain the plenty of your tangents, just going to say this: you are wrong, obviously these spaces exist and I'm confident this comment refers to such one, because the context makes sense this way (Occam's Razor),

That's your issue with the whole story, the host did not analyze the profile picture for "red flags"? From this and the many other stories about AirBnB and its "support", best advice seems to be to immediately close

Is it just me, or are these articles weirdly framed to insinuate that this is our near future and we should come to terms with it? Maybe if I have to, before I starve, I will eat bugs. But not if I can help it.

Generally, doing sports is a good way to let your mind relax. Apparently the way to handle intrusive or nagging thoughts are mainly two ways. The first way is to realize that thoughts come and go. They are backround noise. Not every weird t

There is a different explanation about the 'power posters' - not that they are "insane", but that it's their job. They get good amounts of money for doing what they do. As an addition, for the extreme cases it'

Of course tips should still be allowed. In Europe we are still tipping, but the waiters do not depend on it. This is a much sweeter situation if you ask me, voluntary good service, vs. forced good service, when you have to worry about rent

On the one hand, we have freely shared information. On the other hand, meta information obtained by digital stalking (or, in some cases, literal stalking). The later is absolutely not ok. I agree regarding the freely available information (

According to the same article, the guy never went back. Good for him, and I hope he stands firmly by his principle. " But Cunningham, who believes the company only acted “because the story got so much attention,” says he hasn’t used hi

To intrude in the privacy of unclothed people, then later spin the story in such a way, reveals a quite sinister mind.

The "social norm" is more a convenient business norm to pay petty wages. The more you question this norm, the higher the likelihood for change to more healthy business practice.
