I don't know why anyone would trust Musk to champion free speech. He has no background with any org that works on protecting free speech. He hasn't done work with the ACLU. Billionaires buying media companies has been great for br

The foreignness is still an issue even if it's easier to learn than other Indo-European or Germanic languages. If the intention is to get everyone in the world on board, but only 2 of the major language families are represented, it cou

Pomodoro. I don't always use it, but it really helps when I'm having trouble getting into a groove on a task. If my focus issues are partially due to tiredness, I make a point of keeping my eyes closed for all or part of the break

There was a lot of web 2.0 hype around the late 90s / early aughts. Lots of companies that tried to cash in on a trend without a solid business model. That said, the situation was appreciably different to now. Web 2.0, as I understand

We can observe viruses now . We cannot currently observe dark matter.

by mcdonje 5y ago
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we call it dark because we can't directly observe it. Us not being able to observe something seems quite plausible. We spent most of our existence as a species with no way to observe viruses.

From a prescriptive grammar standpoint, you're correct. From a descriptive standpoint, I'm not sure how common that contraction is, but I've heard it before and offhand it seems like it gets used in some regions. Phonological

Misleading headline. It's not just devices close by. It's devices paired with airtags.

Star Trek is a communist utopia. Our world won't resemble it as long as their are people who have the means and motivation to circumvent democracy. Unfortunately, such people exist in every major power.

Buses are not an effective way to fix car-centric land use, but trains are. Places built around infrastructure made for cars are not walkable. Places built around train stops are. Train stations are generally planned for places where people

US infrastructure is focused around cars. People don't walk much because cities are spread out for wide roads meant for cars, highways, and parking lots. That makes the distances less walkable. Bikes don't have safe dedicated lane

The main news item right now is about Joe Rogan disseminating misinformation about the pandemic, and saying racist things. Besides that, they're known for paying comparatively little per stream to musicians. They also engage in rent-se

It's far more effective than doing nothing. Reps keep track of constituent correspondences and tally them by sentiment. It's one of their main ways of gauging where their constituency is on issues. I guarantee boomers who type goo
