That's exactly why they don't want to legalize home cultivation. In Mass the back market is booming because everyone can grow it.

That is true, however there are some drugs that have been shown to increase plasticity and stimulate neuronal growth. And there's also the possibility of doping the brain with stem cells.

Legally, they're supposed to, but hopefully they never do, at least not successfully.

That's just garbage day though.

I don't agree. Super dense cities like New York might fall out of favor, but smaller cities will still be attractive. Being able to walk to wherever you want to go is very nice. In the suburbs you have to drive 10 minutes to get anywhe

I doubt it will ever be possible separate them. Their neural networks are intertwined. Presumably, so are their vascular networks. Even if they could be separated without killing them, they'd both likely end up with severe brain damage

This is incredible. As we approach the technological capability of direct brain-to-brain communication, cases like this serve as an example of what is in store for us. Our brains are in some sense already multiple consciousness that commun

Other car companies are free to make their cars compatible, since Tesla released the patents. It's just that no one has yet.

Eh, the Bolt doesn't really impress me. I hope Nissan makes a better version of the Leaf. That's something I'd actually consider.

One of my old professors was tenured and highly regarded, but she still left to work for Google when offered a position at X. I don't blame her, I would have probably done the same.

No worse, people will revolt, resulting in violence and instability. If we have another market crash in the US, the government is likely not going to do a good job dealing with it. If that happens, within a few years we can expect to see bo

African economies have been doing better than ever. A number of countries in Africa are experiencing high growth rates.

Not across the whole country, just in the area around Aukland's urban core. And I'm not convinced it actually decreases the quality of life of the average person. In fact, I'd wager that it increases it, by reducing cost of l

How far down does the scale go? Are brainless animals like oysters conscious? What about the mycelium network underneath a forest?

Can you cite a source on battery disposal being a problem. I've heard this claim repeated many time, but never with even a single shred of evidence.

Yes, I do support slightly reducing the quality of life for rich people so that poor people can afford rent. I see no problem with this.

That's for long term air quality though. The speed at which they remove pollutants is much lower than a filter.

Japan has national housing policy and it works quite well. The problem with local control is that it's often easier for special interests to undermine democracy.

Given the quality of most of their publications, "sophisticated" is not a word I would use to describe their work.

What are you going to recycle it all into? It's just not economical to do. Sweden gets it, they burn their garbage for power instead.

At a certain point it becomes kind of pointless, as a suborbital rocket starts to make more sense than a hypersonic aircraft.

Most states don't have such a requirement. And when it's implemented, it's usually intentionally designed to prevent poor people from voting. Requiring an ID is fine as long as it's free and easy for everyone, even the m

I should really check out The Orville I guess. I really enjoyed the brief existence of Other Space on the equally brief Yahoo Screen. That show had so much promise.

He did do much of the design on the first rocket, which is probably why it blew up 3 times. He was smart and dedicated enough to figure it out eventually, but he totally stumbled into the field completely clueless.

I think it was a poor word choice, but it makes sense. I believe, when parent said depression is narcissistic, he meant that it causes you to ruminate on your own self worth constantly. Narcissism is typically associated with self aggrandiz

Ketamine is available in the US as well, but insurance won't cover off label use so the treatments tend to be quite expensive.

It doesn't matter. MS has Linux VMs on Azure. Businesses love Azure, and MS is greatly investing in providing hardware for ML.
