I think you meant "fusion". Fission is sooo 20th century.

The article mentions tigers running out of room and coming more and more into human contact, in fact there was a story not long ago about a bunch of villagers killing a tiger. Are there any plans to increase the size of the reserves, or cre

More than 7 hours of screen time per day seems like child abuse. Or as I call it when I do it, "work".

The global climate catastrophe is very much a political problem, as are its solutions. Just saying instead of killing each other in pointless wars we could use those resources to avoid global warming and help raise people out of poverty. I

300 billion is actually a lot less than I would have thought... and incidentally it's about 6 times less than the US invasion of Iraq.

The Burmese pythons in the 'glades have been known to eat alligators. If you've never seen a large constrictor grab prey it's easy to dismiss them as slow and easily avoidable. But these strike with incredible speed, and can

It's not the density that makes urban areas unsafe, it's all the cars. A downtown pedestrian street is perfectly safe for kids to hang out and play. Neighbors, older kids and shopkeepers keep an eye out without being in helicopter

It's a mixed area, there are single family homes, small apartment buildings and a few medium sized buildings (4-5 stories). We don't have any metro lines but have bus and train. Prices are reasonable because we are on the north fa

Hindus (and related religions) have been vegetarians for thousands of years, and they're fine. It's veganism that is untested.

I find it odd that some people will eat snails (culturally acceptable) but are disgusted by crickets.

There's nothing too gross. I was a bit hesitant but it's not the typical larva with legs, eyes and mouthparts all over the place. They look a bit like rice.

It's quite possible the designers were avid Halo players in their formative years.

My early teenage years were in the city, my later teens in the suburbs. I hated that move to the burbs... Nothing to do except getting kicked out of the local mall or Borders. No libraries, no parks, no pools nearby... And no public transpo

It's not the full story but is definitaly part of it. Without birth control and legal changes, women would not have been able to follow their ambitions; it's difficult to work when you're pregnant for the 8th time and anyway

Citizenship is an absurd requirement IMO, there are greencard holders that live and work for decades in the US without going through the onerous and expensive process of obtaining citizenship.

Reality has a pesky way of interfering with our simple, elegant models... As for the timestamp, this is probably the easiest solution no? OSM keeps track of all modifications.

I would say the same effect applies to programming languages too. Learning languages with different "grammar" allows one to think about the same problem in different parallel ways. For example by being exposed to a functional lang

Which languages do you speak, are they closely related? It seems that the effect is heightened when the languages are in different families, or at least have different grammatical structures. In some other articles on the subject, I've

I completely agree, my wording was perhaps ambiguous. What I meant was that the average person doesn't perceive it as such, IOW they don't see the benefits of the Federal government, which is not to say that there are no benefit

At least one French company is affected though. The taxes apply based on total worldwide revenue.

I would consider myself both. It's true that in the US, the average person sees very little benefit to federal taxes. Most real, helpful things such as police, roads, schools and such are perceived to be only from local or possibly sta

The fossil fuels burned during the planting, harvesting and transport of the wood also needs to be taken account. In that case, unless the entire chain uses renewable energy, it can't be considered carbon neutral.

Same for some of us, that are born with gray eyes and color starts appearing weeks after birth. And eye color can change during childhood, from blue to green or hazel for example.

US airlines would probably be very jittery buying a Chinese place, given the current trade war with China. For other countries, it could be a way in, especially because of the backlog on the A320. But it does mean a large investment in tr

Just plant some trees, it's easy: - Gather seeds from native species in your area. - place 2-3 large seeds or 5-10 smaller seeds in a pot. I use old 1l milk containers. - Put the pots outside, a terrace or balcony will do. - As soon as

With Let's Encrypt you really have no reason not too though. And what's not controversial in one country may be in another.

Right, and it's in the name, after all: Transport Layer Security . Security is not quite the same as privacy. TLS was never meant as a way of guaranteeing privacy in a broad sense as far as I know, and this is the first time I'm
