Less enforcement, more cellphone use, more unlicensed drivers.

I’m interested in this, as it might replace about seven different projects I’m embarking on. How is this different from, say, SevenBridges or BasePair?

Or a gene drive that accomplishes the same thing, enslaving all of humanity within a few generations.

I've heard this so much about _Grave of the Fireflies_ that I'm afraid to watch it - what if it doesn't affect me the way it does everyone else? Would that mean there's something wrong with me? Is it some kind of cinem

I was scared off from using Nebula when they claimed to secure my data privacy by using a blockchain.

And even in that case, Kelo's land ended up not being used after all.

Absolutely I did! That episode was a delight. Also the article in the Guardian about the turkey menacing Oakland had a number of the turkey trivia facts sprinkled through "Thanksploitation Spectacular:" https://www.th

It only emits the CO2 that it captures in the first place to make the fuel. As long as the electricity used to make the fuel is itself carbon neutral, than the entire process is. It would be seriously exciting if and when this works.

You don’t think there might be a connection between rampant crime and ineffective policing?

And The Guardian has growing anti-American sentiment. Yet they both publish excellent reporting.

Usually when you read a “Big Tech company mistreated me and won’t respond” article like this, you’ll identify one or more things the author did wrong and realize the story isn’t as one-sided as the headline would suggest. But this case is a

It seems like the person you're responding to is raising a legitimate criticism of NFTs, or at least, criticism of the touted benefits of them: an NFT provides absolutely no value to its owner unless there's some kind of enforceme

Something tells me you wouldn’t call someone who insists on proper language a “grammar Nazi” in Germany.

Thank goodness. Every time I merged into the “master” branch, I felt the world was that much closer to bringing back slavery.

I'm re-acquainting myself with front end development, and the question I've been asking myself is, what toolkit or framework should I begin with for building my own projects? Lit seems like an excellent candidate for that, thanks

Possibly they've already derived all the PR value from it they can, and further development of it wouldn't be a good ROI for them. Cynical take, to be sure, but also the most realistic one.

This is always interesting to me: I find that I can't dictate at all, I need to see the words and read them as I'm writing them, for some reason. Especially for writing fiction, it's just hard to imagine saying it out loud,

No offense, but this all sounds extremely unlikely. Human beings simply don’t operate that way, even under extreme conditions. Assuming that source exists and is the way you recall it, I’m guessing it was some kind of propaganda.

If you don’t mind, let’s please refrain from name-calling, including and especially against nationalities and ethnicities.

The US has established bases all over the globe and has basically created a worldwide supply chain for its military, so that isn’t really a factor. (Please note, this isn’t being said in an anti-American way.)

“After a flood, you may not have access to these supplies for days or even weeks.” Looks like part of this was copypasted, and no one bothered to proofread it.

Thank you for this. It’s helpful to have a rational, reasonable treatment of intellectual property protection that avoids both extremes of “all information wants to be free” and “piracy is theft.”

I’ve never seen any such thing on TikTok. Also, I assume you mean “allowed.”

This and similar breakthroughs are truly thrilling to read about. They’re demonstrations that human ingenuity is being applied to combat climate change - and there are few forces on earth more formidable than human ingenuity. The fight is o

The game itself was pretty good, but what really made it a gem of the arcade was the physical experience of it. You had to look through a tank-style periscope, inside a dark cowl formed by the game's cabinet. Once you took the contro

Those level 4 warnings are all about COVID. The Ukraine one is for COVID but also the strong possibility of Russian tank shells.
