Maybe they are normally fully invisible, but even alien spaceships can have malfunctions every now and then. Perhaps they didn't realize the cloak system was off.

I haven’t played it, and I have no doubt it is an amazing game I would enjoy. But how do people have time for all these games? There are so many compelling games out there, each demanding hundreds or thousands of hours of time to fully enjo

The question isn't really if $20 is worth it, the question is can you get 90% of the way there for much less? It sounds like he found a way, and of course he's going to do that.

It is amazing to me that we are okay with going along with all kinds of peculiar things that religious people do, even things that inconvenience non-believers (shabbat elevators, kosher/halal laws, closing liquor stores on Sunday (God&

It is but certainly not the English word “God” - for Jews it would technically be יהוה (YHWH) but if you’re not even Jewish why would you care?

I found a really bad vulnerability in a dating app once, allowed anyone to see all other user’s exact locations…contacted the CEO to let him know to fix it. He acknowledged. Thought that was it. A few months go by, I decide to check again.

Is there any discussion about personal airships? I wouldn’t mind the slow speed if it meant I could go to sleep in a quiet, bump free, spacious craft and wake up a couple hundreds miles away at my destination (weather permitting, of course)

What would that change for religious people? There’s already tons of contradictions uncovered by science that conflict with religions in many ways (such as the earth being older than 5,000 years), the believers won’t ever budge.

I don’t understand arguments that say google will be left in the dust when it comes to AI. There’s no network effects like Facebook, it just takes a lot of money to train the models, which google obviously has. Do we really believe google,

Today everyone has instant access to virtually all human knowledge at all times in the palms of their hands yet somehow we are less informed and more susceptible to obvious propaganda than prior generations.

Check out kitboga on YouTube for some hilarious scamming the scammer videos. The guy tries to waste as much of the scammer’s time as possible and he’s quite good at it. Of course there’s only so much one person can do, but he does seem to b

What is so complicated about installing plugs in parking garages? It doesn’t need to be level 2, even 110v would probably be fine for a lot of people. And since we’re probably talking about cities, power draw probably isn’t a concern. My ap

Their tax rates are only a few percentage points different from ours. I think the difference is that we funnel 20% of it to the military (2% for Norway) and their tax code probably has fewer loopholes for the rich to exploit.

I looked up taxation in Norway, it looks very similar to ours. Personal marginal tax rates cap at 48% and corporate taxes are 23%. What am I missing? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Norway

Not true. You hire a CEO if you really don’t want to do anything. And it is a lot of work but usually nothing that difficult for straightforward businesses.
