My response is to "I have nothing to hide", is that isn't what you're giving up when you give away your privacy. You should be comfortable with "never needing to hide anything in your past, present, or future".

I'm astounded that we still don't have proper lazy loading of stylesheets in 2022. We have async and defer for scripts but nothing for css. There are a bunch of hacks that exist, but none of them work if you want to use a strict C

A wifi router is not likely going to make a huge difference in your electricity budget. If you want to make a dent the most cost efficient ways are typically replacing lighting with LEDs, and improving the insulation of your house. Heating

I think that everyone who has kids should teach them about gambling at a young age. Teach them how to play blackjack, poker, craps, roulette, sports gambling, etc. You can sneak in math lessons in a way that can be entertaining, but the gre

Funnily enough, if you don't like injections insulin can also be insufflated (inhaled) as a dry powder. Affreza[0] has been on the market for some time, but hasn't caught on. Pills/tablets are a more acceptable delivery mecha

I've looked into the history of Mondragon and what is often overlooked is the fact that their credit union could legally offer higher interest rates to depositors than competing banks. So they were able to accumulate the capital needed

If you're making a 13 month calendar, you have to rename all the months so that there is no ambiguity. If you plan an event for September 15th, it would be insane for people to have to ask the question "which September 15th"?

I have this phone and my only gripe with it is the button. It isn't as tactile as previous models so it doesn't feel like you've actually clicked it. I'm assuming this has to do with water resistance but I'm not cer

I wonder if a more effective deterrent would be communicating that you are an abusive and neglectful dog owner. 'Beware of dog' signs communicate to me that a person is responsible and they don't want to be sued in case of an

Deploying multiple databases is typically costly in the infrastructure as a service space. Plus you have more operational overhead in ensuring backups work and keeping things secure. It's much easier to use Postgres' schemas to se

I've done my due diligence, there is no future in web3. I don't disparage early VCs who invested in blockchain startups because it is their job to put money into companies that could be revolutionary. However, the revolution has f

Every single one of these web3 companies is going bust. They could all be built without tokens or a blockchain if they wanted to. There are only two things propping up the entire crypto economy, VC funding and fraud. Once the VC money leave

I have so many questions. 1.) What organizer/parent in their right mind thought that this was a good idea. Never place humans within the reach of industrial robots. He's lucky to have only broken a finger. 2.) Why make a robot pic

I dislike whoever named this phenomenon since it is not a paradox. A lot of people bring this up, but fail to realize that there is a limit to induced demand. For example if you are able to light your house with led bulbs you aren't su

With regard to insulin 3 companies control 90% of worldwide production. I'm not aware of a third party manufacturer that can actually produce modern insulins at scale. Even if they existed, they still have to work around the issues pre

by pg_bot 4y ago
Depends on the type of insulin you want to make, but if you want to be at the cutting edge it would likely cost around a billion dollars. You have to avoid the intellectual property minefield on the manufacturing side. The production of ins

Is there any way to request adding a new theoretical material? There are a couple of scandium based compounds that could theoretically exist that I think would be interesting to reason about.

No, I understand that. It's just that even countries that are despotic are no longer bidding for the Olympics. I think if 5-10 major countries are willing to collude they could tip the scales in their favor. Say France, USA, Japan, Bra

I think it is likely that the Olympics will move to a permanent location or a rotation of host cities in the future. Most local governments and populations have realized that building the infrastructure for the games is a losing proposition

This is likely a losing strategy, while it would likely work for a little while people will find a way to circumvent the restriction. The simpler way to get around scalping/arbitrage is to raise prices so that those who are producing t
