Headline in 30 years: The long term effect of white noise caused a decline in IQ by 5%. We would do better not to manipulate our brain when we do not know the mechanics.

The remainder can be explained by bread and games = cheap food and game consoles which kept the kids playing in the house instead of being part of a gang.

I really doubt that. While I am aware of shrinking IQ, as far as I know its a thing of the last 30 years, leaded gas in most developed countries was already outlawed.

I am one of those. For a simple reason: It had no effect. As a sidenote back in the days I worked for a university and we did research in public policy making. How social media would make a difference as it empowers the underprivileged. In

The question is whether the accident would still have happened, if the second car drove a Tesla, also with the autopilot engaged?

My car and that of my wife warn audibly, if the distance to the car in front is below a configurable distance. I have to actively ignore that wanring.

I wonder which politician has the cojones to first stand up and declare the autopilot features illegal as security threats cant currently mitigated.

When I see rust code I have the feeling that as a developer you are in a constant battle with the compiler to fulfill its type system. I wonder if some unit test / fuzz tests in a less strict language could lead to the same amount of c

The pure browser business doesn't bring in any money. Browsers are a commodity, you sell them as a vehicle for the real thing. Much like razor handles for the razor blades. Firefox is a great handle but nobody wants or needs their blad
