So hominins are a subset of hominids?

Exactly. Part of the problem is that the media hosting platforms don't make these reports public. And there are also multiple platforms where Warner Bros (just as an example) can get their soundtracks hosted. And then such reports woul

My hypothesis about no-patch is that there is no incentive. You can't report an audio problem like you report a software bug. I can't imagine a situation where the kind of audio problem described by the author is show-stopping. Au

Same struggle. Except my elder daughter isn't "screaming and raging about the tiniest things" (yet). She's just... a total mess at a few things (self-motivation, self-awareness, responsibility, tact), constantly getting

Slightly surprised that an article in the US would use both imperial and metric units (acre feet and celsius). Is that particular to the field?

I had a similar experience myself a few years back. I live in Hong Kong. Sometimes sparrows make nests in odd places. There's a footbridge about 10 minutes from my home. The footbridge has draining holes for the rain. I think a pair of

Why does Google even need to mention North Korea in the title? A vulnerability is a vulnerability. Why bring politics in, right in the title? It would feel much more OK if simply said in the text , that a NK hacker group is currently known

Huh? How does that prove the exact opposite? Mexico said they won’t join anti-US alliance. Ukraine still wanted to join NATO right before the invasion.

Russia is not trying to annex (the whole of) Ukraine, at least that’s what they say. My understanding is that Russia wants a neutral buffer zone between themselves and NATO. This is basically Putin’s negotiation conditions. Putin isn’t even

Not endorsing any side of the conflict, but just the fact that humanity is able to make missiles that fly at 1.7 km/s is mind boggling to me. Imagine watching that fly overhead on a clear day. Actually I suspect one might totally miss
