In my nation (Indonesia) the concept of "yearly flu shot" is basically non existent. So perpetual periodic booster is going to be a hard sell. Especially when the public basically declares to forget that this pandemic ever existed

What's the difference between "this sentence" and "this tweet" in this context?

I learnt VB6 when I'm still 10 years old and all seems so simple and magical. Then I encounter "Visual Basic" again in high school and it's almost unrecognizable with all the C# nonsenses. I still don't enjoy progra

If you're early enough there are actually tons. Some suspect it's to fool some bots who copy articles immediately after it's released.

One of species we should have eradicated. Whatever their niche is, it doesn't seem like unique anyway. Ironically we may not have that much power over nature as we think we have.

Yeah the main reason why our systems are getting increasingly depersonalized is because we have to deal with more and more complete strangers than before. Marvel of modern interactions is that we can trust (somewhat) this current trading pa

Interestingly it may be more accurate to measure performance of a movie by the initial sale of its sequel. I haven't gathered any data but I guess it'll be interesting.

I think it's actually what happens with biological weapons. It's not actually ethics that blocks it but rather its uncontrollability to be used effectively as a weapon (and not hit your side as well).

It's half funny and sad that for passports one has to repeat their names for both fields or not fill the second field at all (which may be not allowed) or have to make up new name.

I mean the paradoxical observation is that more chaotic and more hostile crowd gatherings somehow doesn't result in a crush while ones that's (initially) not as violent ends in deaths. I find that a more interesting question is wh

Reminds me of Shi Huang Di's Forbidden Tomb's "curse" is... Mercury. We today preserve it for scientific reasons but before, ain't no thief will try to do anything about it.

Knowing this makes me perplexed whenever someone treats geocentrists as idiots. Sometimes science really can get only as far as our "eyes" can see.

I guess the analogy still holds with gravity instead of charge? So while the "real" mass of each object is compressed so "small" that normally colliding will be improbable, their gravitational influence is much much bigg

Damn an in my country (Indonesia) even in 2010 it's still the other way around. Even to this day I can't see my fellow countrymen paid for anything online partly because everything used to be so expensive we always have to find ch

Like, I genuinely want to know if they stumbled upon some interesting discoveries in the last decades which I don't know. No need to repeat all the atrocities and crimes they did, which I already know.

It's always been a forced input format that doesn't stand scrutiny even a bit outside of western world.

For specifically the 90s, its crime rate is genuinely better than the absolute horrible time of 70s and 80s. To this day when we say "crime is decreasing", in a fraud way we always compare it to those peak bad times even though co

True science at its best. Don't care about who why how when one writes it. It either replicates or it doesn't!!

Even knowing those issues and hating it, after all the news last year I'm starting to appreciate the fact that Wikimedia at least still isn't changing its core function at all. Any new things they try is independent to Wikipedia a

Everything is relative. We have seen thousands of other planets (And millions of other stellar objects) and this planet is a hell of a heaven compared to every single one of them. According to our observations so far anyway (to the chagrin

Also I already stand for close to 2 hours while commuting (in train) so I don't really appreciate more standing (even stand up meeting).

I liked Digital Fortress, but then again I was in high school. People here say that there are better novels around the same topic but I haven't encountered it for the last 10 years. Is there are good novels that I'm missing?
