Google News has degraded so much in the last few years that it's essentially useless. The combination of their updated material design (or whatever they're calling it) and AMP was a one-two punch. Click through to related articles

Oh but I did. The worse interpretation was that the commenter feels their liberty is constrained by current efforts to combat racism, sexism, sexual assault, etc.. Either way, invoking Mill is philosophical hogwash. Aim higher with your dis

That's pretty neat, but what does it look like during broad daylight? Is it only really visible at night?

Don't get too caught up on the definitions of words. What they are arguing is that many things have been attempted to rein in the tails, and they have all failed. An engineer has to look at a series of failures and find new solutions,

I don't think society is looking for police to be an average good. That is, we're not looking to optimize on the statistical mean of police interactions. We are concerned particularly about the tails. The outliers are the proble

Ah yes, the tired old free-marketeer. You're the reason we need regulations over self-destructive things. Society gets to make that call sometimes. Or, if you really think not, would you instead be interested in buying some of this oil

We should reject PoW algorithms as generally destructive. When I say destructive, I mean they cause more global harm than they purport to alleviate. PoW should have been set aside as soon as it was generally understood that the network&#x27

I'd be happy to pay for software, if it's worth it. I just want to buy a perpetual license, not a token for a 5 minute ride. (These days, however, I'm hesitant to pay for anything that isn't open source. I just don'

Let's not forget to shame software companies that have shifted to this evil revenue model too. No longer can I expect to buy and download software I'd have a right to use for life. Now I have to subscribe to everything, not only t

Why couldn't they just put up the source then? A closed-source privacy tool is quite the contradiction.

The report that air bags failed to deploy should be a huge red flag for NTSB. I hope they are sending a team to investigate. Airbag deployment failure should not happen in any modern vehicle.

You've just read an article about bioterrorism and concluded that human engineering of ecology is not only safe but obligatory? What if I told you that, if there were ever a working and effective gene drive -- instead of just people se

That's not relevant, and the paper itself doesn't really measure anything pertinent either. Ionizing radiation does not cause molecular ionization that stays in one place. It generates free radicals that propagate in reaction chai

Try as I might, I cannot subscribe to cable internet without a TV package. So I'm shelling out over $100/mo to a monopoly for both. On top of that. I pay at least $50/mo for several additional streaming services. What is the

You're not grasping the biology. Damage repair mechanisms have a capacity limit that itself varies with exposure. In particular it's been shown that acute dosage timing of multiple exposures is different than continuous exposure w

It should never have been signed off on by an IRB. It is irresponsible and horrific that this has been trialed on people in this century.
