   I no longer use soap for most of my body when I shower, I no longer use it when washing my face at night, and I no longer use shampoo. And things are fine. I once tried not using deodorant in one of my armpits. After about a week things wer

   Agreed. The "illusion" approach has always seemed somehow self-referential to me. Who/what is being fooled? Does being mistaken about something (which computers/algorithms can obviously be) somehow endow the thing with s

   This was brilliant and disturbing. The legal implications are crazy---even if the owner of the house has agreed to the EULAs of all the devices, their visitors have not. Is their a legal obligation to notify visitors that data about them is

   That was thrilling. An incredible accomplishment. The first time in my life I thought I had an inkling of what it had been like to watch the Moon landings.

   In the original article Hari doesn't claim depression is always caused by life events. Rather he says this: "The more I investigated depression and anxiety, the more I found that, far from being caused by a spontaneously malfuncti

   I'm curious how a dive buddy would have helped. Wouldn't that just have meant two people were in trouble, instead of one?

   Strange coincidence that this headline shares the top spot with an announcement of a new Waze Carpool service... which seems to compete with Lyft?

    Is there an "internet" out there based on these sorts of communications? To me it makes sense to tie these things together into a global network independent of the fiber/copper internet. But it never seems like anybody's

    Lucifer means "light bringer". Prometheus-like he conveyed forbidden knowledge to humanity, seeking to aggrandize himself. He's an alternate power base whose key feature is defiance of God. At least, that's one take.

    Isn't this driven by the fact that crypto clients use a default transaction fee rather than dynamically negotiating a good fee on the market? E.g. if your client's default fee is .001 bitcoins or whatever, back in the day that was

    It doesn't resemble the Cyrillic letter---it is it. "R" is an English letter but not a Cyrillic one, and "Я" is a Cyrillic letter but not an English one, and by flipping them horizontally you transform them into

    Backward R in the logo: this drives me nuts. To any readers of the Cyrillic alphabet it says "Ya". So this says "Yaetargetable Decompiler" I can't be the only one!

    The high transaction fees are forcing Bitcoin in this direction. If buying a hamburger cost you $30 in fees on top of the $6 burger, you'd stop using dollars for everyday purchases, too. Seems we're stuck in this situation so long

    It's a complex phenomenon. There are various jurisdictions with their supply/demand for Bitcoin, affected by regulations, government (in)stability, the exchanges' ability to handle heavy volumes, etc. So Bitcoin's value

    I think they mean that they know in advance whether to write error handling code or not, not whether or not an exception will actually be thrown at runtime. The answer to _that_ is always maybe, but the answer to the former depends on the f
