Having a potential, perceived or realised conflict of interest doesn't stop you from covering a topic or giving your opinion. It should be advertised so that people consuming your opinion are aware and so can take it into account. This

What do you mean by synthetic fuel? And why do you see it as necessary or more practical than electric vehicles?

This is possible in teams by setting yourself to DND. You'll still see the icon in your dock but you won't get popup notifications. Having said that I also prefer Discord, especially the drop in voice channels.

At some point we will "get on with our lives" but that doesn't mean that we will be able to ignore COVID-19. As with any highly infectious and dangerous disease there will still be a public health response to outbreaks. The h

Typically the sale of luxury goods is part of the integration phase in ML. This is when the money is finally transferred back to the criminal and so it is important to be within the financial sector. It presents a very straightforward way t

This article doesn't do a good job of explaining why having many huge corporations is a boon. My guess is that many Europeans are perfectly fine with that.

I used to love Kenji but recently have become less interested in his recipes because they are very meat focused. I'd love to see more vegetarian/vegan stuff from him because his approach to food and communication style is great.

My first few months WFH was like this so I hear you. Since then however I've been more proactive about declining attending meetings or dropping off if I am required, which has made a massive difference.

None of Thailand, Vietnam and Mongolia are islands and their handling of covid is world class compared to parts of Europe and the US. These countries are also far poorer and in the case of Thailand especially that has been a major contribut

The snark in this comment is completely unnecessary. It is better for everyone if you make your point in a more constructive manner.

If you think that historians, philosophers, international relations scholars and the general public have 0 critical thinking skills, you could reach that conclusion. Realistically though, this is not the case. Although many wars are built o

I work in a data science team and I think that motivates a lot of my colleagues. Delivering a product and looking at the massive impact it has on the business is very satisfying.

What evidence do you have that this is from opposition to Beyond and Impossible? Yes, it's a new term in the literature, but the fact that it Beyond and Impossible are also newish products is a correlation at best. Most content online

I hate headlines like this. It's one senator who has introduced a bill, not the government actively considering it. In fact it mentions that both mainstream parties are strongly against the policy.

Implementing the tax now makes sense because it brings ICE and EV into alignment now, while usage is relatively low, rather than suddenly introducing a tax down the proverbial road. To incentive switching the government has other policy too

No. It's not. In fact I can't think of any major sports that operate in that way. Titles/records are stripped from events where they are proven to be doping/cheating but that's usually it. Athletes are then usually
