Some of the water is believed to be deposited by glaciers in the Last Glacial Maximum, which didn't include any of these areas. But some of it is connected to onshore aquifers. It still has to be desalinated to drink, but it would be c

Yes, out of sheer necessity. Search results have become either a crapshoot when looking for commercially adjacent content due to SEO, or “gentrified” when looking for anything even remotely political, obscure, or controversial. Google used

It's been ~4x since 1999. If whatever "it" is were only affecting males, the ratio would have changed. But female suicide is also going up. The article shows a spike for 15-19 females around 2012. 20-24 females have been stea

This has some graphs showing the suicide rates for different age groups: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2207007-us-suicide-rate... There is a clear curve upward in the 15-24 and to a lesser degree the 25-34 group

I genuinely don't understand how an average Facebook user would encounter videos like those described in the article. Is it some recommender system gone awry?

How can kiddie porn, gore and animal cruelty "flood the network" for people using Facebook? Don't you normally just see things from your friends, ads, and groups that you are a part of? If they post that, either call the cops

Agreed. The thrust of this article is correct, in that people should support open source projects as much as they can (I usually donate around $100 a month, which is really not that much). But, other sources of income are being missed here.

Does anyone have experience with bandwidth charges for colocated servers? If you pay $300 a month (or whatever it is, I really have no idea because most of these places don't post their prices publicly) to put a 1U somewhere with a 500
