Detectable vs. functioning are two different things. For cannabis, it is metabolites that are detectable for some time afterwards. They are no longer actively having an effect on the person. These metabolites get deposited into some tissue,

Use feature detection instead. You don't need to know what it is called. All you need to know is that it is big, brown, has four legs, big teeth, is gnarling, and is staring at you like you look at a freshly-made butter croissant.

It extends far further than that. There are cases of interspecies breeding in mammals (A + B = C). What species are the offspring (C + C = C?)? What if such offspring continue to breed? Sometimes, the offspring are not sterile! Do they beco

Business has always been about putting on a pretty front at the retail side that faces the customer, while squeezing the back end for efficiency. In traditional restaurants, there is an often repeated quote: if you like a restaurant, don&#x

I see no mention of timezones. I can see complications arising from that, given Australia spans a few timezones. Time is complicated when it comes to implementing strict rules. There will always be situations that can be interpreted in more

Once, when I was in the 5th grade, there was a jelly-bean counting contest at the local library. The jellybeans were in a jar that was roughly cylindrical. I counted the rough radius of the jar in 1-dimensional linear_jellybean units, as we

I wonder what they mean by "optimal", which this article seems to be mentioning a lot. It seems that they are referring to a maximum or a minimum in the curve, and calling it optimal. It seems to offer the hypothesis that a low re

Cool article. I've been giving this a lot of thought lately. Another exercise that I do is, for each option, I ask "What's the worst that can happen, and what will I do when it does?" It turns out, a lot of times, the wo

Agreed. The closest they've come was when they started limiting app access to the account to two devices. I almost pulled the trigger. If they lower it to one device, I will strongly consider paying. There is one big thorn in my side

You can build an app that allows you to post 140 character messages on a feed in a couple of hours of work. Building Twitter took years, countless man-hours, and a mind-boggling amount of money. What kind of house do you want to build?

Absolutely. First, try to understand a process. Draw it. Imagine going through the process of building it. Draw it again. Look at your friend's house to see how it is different. Try to imagine how that one was built. I have an interest

You pose a plausible hypothesis. Empirically, it has been shown to be wrong. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2000. In the Netherlands many drugs, including psychedelics, have been available OTC for decades. Both of these case studies

From my research, garum was a ticker paste that involved a lot more solids. Most fish sauces, especially the Asian ones that get used in the western world, tend to be clear. Last time I was in Thailand I delved into foods made with tai pla.
