I think space colonization is an even bigger fantasy than relying on "future tech" that will magically terraform the earth and reverse climate change. We can have a tiny structure housing 10 or 20 people somewhere in our solar sys

People really yearn for systems like this, whether it's some weird color coding, myers-briggs, astrology... this definitely won't be the last one to go mainstream

People make cheats for money, for online infamy, and for the challenge of it People use cheats because it makes the game more enjoyable. In FPS, someone can shoot you before you have time to react. In RTS, someone can step out of the darkne

Key word here is "smaller". Anything works on a small-enough scale. In general, subreddits are very balkanized, with a strong echo chamber effect (downvotes for dissenting opinions) and terrible moderation. For any reason at all,

In my experience, people who talk like this will gush about how a handful of seeds or a kale salad is more delicious than a cheeseburger or a burrito, which of course taste unnatural and disgusting. It's like talking to a breatharian

I would be interested in this, too. I read an interesting write-up by the guy who wrote the first .dll to hook functions in some FPS, I forget if it was quake or counterstrike. Sadly I can't seem to find it, now Detailed discussion of

No. What you're talking about is deliberately ignoring evidence generated by an anti-cheat so it has time to catch more players There are no circumstances where it makes sense to ignore player-submitted video proof of cheating. This sh

The content isn't really front-page-worthy. People have gathered here to discuss the topic suggested by the (clickbait) headline. And in this instance I would say the headline discussion is probably going to be more substantial than th

The first alchemists and chemists, including the "father of modern chemistry" Lavoisier, were rich noblemen indulging in a hobby. It's true, being free from the need to earn your daily bread means you can study what you like.

Why does chemistry have to be less boring? We are not short on chemists. Take it from someone who left the field Exploding balloons, frozen roses, elephant toothpaste are all very unlike what a chemist will do for a living after they'v

My understanding is that synthesizing even one atom of LSD is probably more expensive and difficult than making several grams of some NBOMe derivative. The production costs don't scale to zero and the synthesis itself is beyond the abi

In theory, every LSD dose consumed is pure LSD. In practice there are many stand-ins that are cheaper and easier to produce. They have different tox profiles and one never knows what one is actually taking unless you run your samples throug

A couple traffic cones out in the street could direct this thing onto the sidewalk, where it would drift over pedestrians or slam into a brick wall without hesitation. There's a big gap between a car that can drive on a closed course a

I think you're not parsing his sentence the way he intended it to be read "alienated due to fear of immigration" vs "alienated due to immigration". Of course, the EU also have their own share of immigration, at leas

People really seem to be sharpening the axe for our big tech companies these days. Personally I find it disturbing. These companies are a river of prosperity for our people, especially software developers

In this respect, CS is kind of a special case in that "knows how to code" can get you started on a good career regardless of credentials. Outside of CS, a PhD is absolutely an important credential and is just as much of a career g

I want a slider that lets you shrink the population (not just "low growth"). Climate change is just one of many ways that overpopulation is negatively impacting all life on earth.

RE: UPS - The hours aren't bad. You get overtime past 40 and are generally glad when it happens. If you work at a normal pace you won't get into trouble for productivity with your boss, and you're never at risk of making less

Regarding point 1, isn't that just due to the fact that baby boomers are entering retirement age, and retirees are living longer than ever before? "Prime age participation" seems like what you would want to measure if you&#x2

Brick and mortar shops can't stop you from coming in and finding the perfect item, then buying it online to save money. I bought an office chair recently and didn't feel confident picking one without trying chairs out in person. T
