Subnautica is another example of this with its lush natural underwater environments: shallow beaches, coral reefs, kelp forests, thermal vents, underwater rivers, abyssal cave ecosystems, lava tubes, etc. I'd give it high marks for Nat

Would traffic stop biometric scanning be more acceptable if the scans were provably not stored after the stop ends? Not saying I know how to do that but I wonder if it'd make a difference.

Uncontrolled sobbing could do the trick.

Right, and I think the FAA requires airliners to be capable of landing in IFR ("low visibility") conditions, which makes sense—you don't want trans-oceanic flights to crash because the weather abruptly got worse at their dest

If I want to play a game that's only sold via Steam, I have no choice but to use Steam. It's less bad than the App Store since game devs technically have a choice, but in effect it's often the same.

It doesn't have to have adaptive benefits. The critical path is molded by natural selection but the rest grows wild, mutating as it pleases until it either helps or hinders gene replication. For example, if humans exploded like a bomb

> interested people are interesting If what they're interested in interests you too. Or as happened in this map genius story, if they're charismatic enough to convince you (and the gathering crowd) that it's interesting.

Right, something I learned from this thread. I'm asking if there are ways to be more precise with radio emissions given omnidirectional antennae in the hypothetical case where the only restrictions are Mother Nature's , sort of l

1) Racial discrimination is itself illegal. 2) Ban the Box didn't prevent criminal background checks, it just pushed them to the end of the hiring process. So it's unsurprising that it didn't have a significant effect.

"To err is human; to forgive, divine." As is obvious from the attitudes in this thread, legally enforced amnesia is the only practical solution.

If the government says an individual isn't allowed to do something, like work in a financial profession or live near a school, that's up to the government to determine and enforce: "quit/relocate or you'll be back i

Sorry that happened. Your password wasn't actually "kissmyass" was it?

She could claim that the key for those books has been lost or forgotten. I wonder if this "I forgot" defense is more accepted now that there are stories of people having forgotten the password to their multi-million dollar

Saw the headline, immediately thought of the same short story. Excerpts where they encounter said brain: "It's a monstrosity." "Not to us," she said sharply. "We see a thing of wonder and beauty."

Feedback: I was hoping the monster list would decrease as you eliminate possibilities. Monster list should show stats. Also the screen unexpectedly zooms if I tap the same number a few times.

What a great cause/mitigation list! Have you given a talk or written more in depth on this? If so I for one would be interested in it.

Well-said. Airplanes are relatively straightforward machines. Computers just do trivial math and logic very fast. Listening to Bach in a cathedral is just hearing metal tubes vibrating air in an artificial cave. But if you've never sto

Perhaps it's commenting on the level of entrenchment of the norm: it'd be easier for one good argument to sway those with "strong opinions weakly held" than it is to sway folks who say "I'll change when everyon

Something like a browser extension could make that kind of check repeatable, automatic, and unobtrusive unless there's a discrepancy. Assuming builds don't happen too too often. Yes, either you'd have to verify the build your

That Ethereum Classic never reversed is true but largely meaningless; what matters, as you say, is that "the not-actually-reversed transaction has lost value in $ at mark-to-market." That loss in value represents the reversal. If
