That theory sounds woo-woo. So something I remember that happened a few days ago, or my phone number exists somewhere out in the universe and our brain is able to access it?

Well I sort of feel that many years ago before MFA was suggested or required for many different sites, it was less risky for a typical person to erase all content.

I have some issues with this guide. I find it very odd how the very first step of the guide is to “erase all content and settings” but it doesn’t really mention all the caveats around this. There really should be warnings or a separate guid

I think these kinds of aches start happening to a non-negligible number of people beginning in their early 30s. It isn’t that they can’t still be active, it’s just that they have to be diligent about warming up their joints before certain e

You did a logical fallacy which is called “denying the antecedent.” From your first two propositions, it doesn’t follow that anything that isn’t a democracy isn’t good.

I might also add that apparently, older versions of the machine had physical “hardware interlocks” that would make accidents less likely no matter what the software was doing. So the older software was probably just thought to be reliable,

In my opinion, if it shouldn’t be enabled in normal mode, it certainly shouldn’t be enabled in Incognito Mode either where it will give you a false sense of security.

Yes, but this is the nature of heroic figures in politics: “I’m from the elite and I’m here to save you from these other elites.” Who gets to determine whether it’s called a “revolution” versus a “civil war”? Is it based on whether there’s

I agree. I remember a year ago some a submission on this forum by Sabrina where she was evaluating LLMs on SAT math problems. The post was called like “ChatGPT-4o vs. Math”. I thought it was pretty insightful, but now that post is deleted f

This must have been like 15 years ago, but I vaguely remember someone making a perfume that smelled like the scent you get when you open up the box of a new iPhone or MacBook. It’s a distinct smell and I’m not really sure if it’s purely fro

This is so surprising to see research on. It’s also very brave. It’s the kind of investigation that could get a drone or a hitman sent after the investigator.

I disagree. The location is definitely a factor. If you live within 300 feet (about 100 meters) of a multi-lane highway, then depending on the wind patterns, you are definitely getting more exposure to pollutants that come from cars, trucks

It is definitely odd. I think it started off as a KYC-kind of check. If there’s some weird, possibly illegal reason you type into the “what is this payment for?” input, I read that someone on behalf of Venmo will contact you to have you exp

I think it just means that a sleeping brain that’s on caffeine is busier and more “complex” than one that isn’t on caffeine. It is confusing, but there’s no way that caffeine doesn’t mess up your sleep quality (for most people).
