I'm not sure that data is super telling, all it means is the food is a lower percentage and giving the costs of education, housing, and insurance perhaps not that surprising.

We have a legal system which is specifically designed to quantify these intangible costs. That’s what pain and suffering damages are.

I think it really matters who is talking. Which is easier for a school board to do? Take away students phones in their schools or force tictok to make their app less harmful.

I'm not sure but I think this ad was fully animated and nothing was actually destroyed. A hydraulic press of this size, if any even exist, is going to look a lot bulkier and not like a cartoon stomper coming down from the ceiling. We

I think this is a reaction to the whole social media debacle. These companies have gotten burned and now they are shy about touching the stove. Also I feel like we don't have the same competitive environment of two decades ago. Ther

Nope, no video games are in the public domain nor will there be for decades. until the late 2060s :(

They don't do that on YouTube but they do something similar on other platforms. Though instead of having different videos they just stitch the ads into the front of the video so you can't block them without blocking the content.

I’m not sure self driving buses are possible with out something approaching general AI. The bus driver needs to be able to respond in real time to questions like does this bus go to X. They also need to be able to communicate nonverbally w

Ive tried making a resume or applying for jobs on a phone, it’s doable but much easier and more pleasant to do for two hours on a desktop. Fewer people have up to date desktop computers so I see the need for this continuing.

NYC libraries aren’t defacto shelters for the unhoused. When I visit them they have robust children’s sections and the adult section is filled with a cross section of the community, which does include people with a large bag who are just re

I could see doing trips in one of these regions same day if I'm willing to get up super early and get back super late or with a single night stay if I'm not. It sucks but you can do it, where as you really need a whole day each w

That is not what they are saying. They are saying that for the economy of Kenyan as a whole having a bunch of smart people writing essays for westerners does nothing to improve the local economy. If they are instead working to provide serv

Xenotransplation is translating animal organs (which are easy to get) into humans. If you can do this then you can aggressively cut out whole organs and replace them with new cancer free organs from animals.

I do a similar thing when I’m writing. Except I write on paper and allow myself to make revisions. Being on paper is pretty self limiting as far as edit spirals. The other trick is when you are stuck instead of writing garbage write down

In the early days of the internet click fraud was rampant, and it has only gotten more and more sophisticated. While you could still do advertising the overall value would probably be much less valuable.

That sounds perfectly plausible except if people are expecting these services to be free like all big tech platforms currently are. In that case the AI will tailor information to manipulate you to do what the people paying the platforms wa

The unsaid implication of this comic is that getting rid of the internet would make society better. It would NOT. The ability to have rapid peer to peer communication with anyone on the planet is a good thing. BLM, LGBT rights, disabilit

How I would have ended would be with the aliens saying we should just adopt galactic standard time because it is so much easier, but in fact it is twice as complicated and confusing, but they are used to it so it appears simple. Still funn
