Maybe they did and informed the authorities accordingly.

Yes, the medical dark ages. Not the metaphorical kind either, but the kind where people die foaming at the mouth because their neighbor decided a rabies shot might cause dog autism. The CDC has apparently chosen the new strategy of “if we i

The “40,000-year-old writing” headline is a bit ahead of the evidence. What researchers have actually found is that Ice Age caves are full of recurring abstract marks — dots, lines, Y-shapes, grids — that show up across sites and cultures.

Yes, dubious indeed. How about looking at descendants of fair-skinned Britains in sunnier climes? Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. This is due to a combination of factors: very high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radi

No, the language clearly limits the restriction to those “aliens … currently outside the United States.” “Entry” in this context means seeking admission (or re-entry) to the U.S. from abroad, under a new petition or visa that starts outside

The actual proclamation [1] is very narrow: a $100k surcharge on new H-1B petitions for workers outside the US. It’s a one-time hit tied to the petition. It does not say “annual.” It does not drag in renewals or transfers for people already

ZFS can hit “No space left on device” (ENOSPC) errors if the pool fills up. But unlike btrfs’s infamous ENOSPC woes, ZFS was designed to handle these situations much more gracefully. ZFS actually keeps a bit of “slop space” reserved. So, as

That framing is too narrow. A weather model is trained on physics equations but still relies on patterns in past data to make forecasts. A language model is trained on patterns in human text but that text already encodes mathematics, code,

Right now the app leans heavily on punishment mechanics (loss aversion + alarms), which is super clever and already works better than the usual “one more minute” blockers. But there’s a whole toolbox of behavioral science that could take it

Look, employees absolutely have the right to raise concerns, but occupying the office isn’t really about discussion, it’s about forcing the company’s hand. Microsoft already has ways for staff to voice their views. If every group with a pol

It is hard to see the point of employees occupying their own company’s headquarters to protest contracts with Israel. Microsoft is not a government and it does not set foreign policy. It is a technology firm with clients that include many c

It is baffling that anyone in tech branding thought Gemini was a smart name. The NASA Gemini program is remembered as a near-disaster. Gemini 8 went into an uncontrolled spin that almost killed Neil Armstrong and David Scott, and Gemini 9A

It makes sense that the way dating apps classify people ends up shaping how we think about ourselves. Categories are never neutral. Even something as simple as “serious relationship” versus “casual dating” nudges people into making identity

I think you are spot on. What makes Chiang remarkable is that he never just builds a clever world and then leaves it at that. The counterfactuals are always put under pressure until their human consequences show through. That is why the rel

Halos and glare at night are usually a sign that something in the eye is scattering light. Sometimes it’s just uncorrected prescription, but it can also come from things like dry eye, early cataracts, or the way the cornea focuses light. Gl

The distinction between love and attachment is valid, but it does not solve the problem. Even if one defines love as universal, impartial goodwill, it remains aspirational and fragile. To say morality originates only in love is to assume a

NASA’s Earth science is core national infrastructure. Weather, climate and disaster data from its satellites protect lives and support the economy. No other body can provide the same long-term, global monitoring. Cutting it would damage US

The idea that morality is grounded in love rather than rules sounds appealing but it collapses once applied outside personal relationships. Love is subjective and unevenly distributed. People love their family more than strangers, their cou

I’m not downvoting you, that would be someone else. Protests outside a broadcaster do not prove that a ban occurred. People protest over editorial decisions, framing, or lack of coverage without there being an actual prohibition. Without a

Anything Hamas says must be judged against the track record of its past falsehoods and distortions, this is their norm, not the exception. If someone still takes their words at face value, no fact or evidence will change how they see them.
