It's a false assumption that technological progress happens automatically or even that it's based upon the passage of time. Progress happens as a result of many choices made by individuals to invest time and energy solving problem

Cool concept, but I was repeatedly tripped up by very similarly colored lines running through the same cell. Would love it if you could hover over a line and have it highlight.

I don't like Elon either, but not only has SpaceX created breakthrough tech that didn't exist by landing an orbital class rocket, as of today still nobody else has done it. Landing a rocket was considered impossible and unthinkabl

Maybe Germans don't want to buy cars from the company whose CEO did not one but two Nazi salutes on national television. As a Tesla owner myself, it makes me very uncomfortable to think my car is remotely associated with a hate group.

If DOGE was serious about finding cost savings, they would start with the biggest budget hog, the one that has never once passed an audit in its entire history – the Pentagon. US "defense" spending is so absurdly overflowing with

Currently Partiful doesn't generate revenue, which is evidence for its quality. As soon as the purse strings get attached, it'll be time to get out. But for now, it's an excellent service.

The numbers on explored spaces show the total level of monsters in the 8 spaces around it. Mark squares with numbers to remind yourself what level of monster is on that space (using deduction). Later you'll come back and defeat monster

Since I couldn't find a description of the rules anywhere: - Spaces contain monsters of various levels (numbers) and cause your character to lose that amount of HP when clicked. They drop the same amount of gold which you use to level

On the flipside, blindly accepting industry safety standards is how we ended up with lead paint and asbestos everywhere. Insufficient evidence of harm is not the same as proof of no harm. We can live in a world of nuance where we refute the

This is the same story for every new variety of apple. It becomes popular because of its positive characteristics (sweetness, tanginess, juicyness, crispness), but then slowly over time it gets cultivated for mass market appeal (uniform col

Getting to whine about it from the comfort of your keyboard is a privilege, yes. Any of us who have the wealth to buy a computer, put food on our tables, pay all of our bills, and have spare time to wax poetic on an internet forum are certa

To give an example of this, the Starship they've been flying on the last few flights is already obsolete. There's a newer V2 but they wanted to burn through the rest of the V1s they had already built and get more data before flyin

I enjoy road trips far more since getting an EV. It's nice paying half as much or less in fuel costs. Tesla's charging network is excellent, and I'm glad it's opening to all EVs on the market. I used a third party charge

Honestly glad to hear they're getting more aggressive. It feels like Waymo's biggest issue currently is the low average speed because of extreme levels of caution. Ultimately no car will get you to your destination through LA traf

The Democratic primary process is rife with superdelegates and other rules designed to promote candidates aligned with the party insiders. The Republican primary process doesn't have as many ways for party members to put their fingers

Your impression of BOTW doesn't line up at all with how it has been received by both fans and critics. One of the things I love about BOTW is that the world is very intentional and uses altitude as a significant and important feature.

The more solar surplus we create, the more incentive there is to build battery storage. You can see it happening in California, where storage has grown massively year over year, to the point where it's now displacing natural gas peaker
