Well you can see the advantage here, the biological process that created this hydrogen peroxide from wastewater also created other compounds beneficial to the application. This isn't New Age chakra stuff, this has a direct chemical cau

I've had that experience describing the plot of a novel to friends of mine. The novel is pretty complex and covers ideas in crime, internet anonymity, memetics/virality, and then some technical things with vehicles and atmospheric

This is a dumb email from the CEO because it makes the company look bad to the peers of employees . There are plenty of companies who don’t care about racism, they say the right things and move on changing nothing, allowing people who work

The distinction I keep is that trolls do it for fun and grifters do it for money. There is a lot of money in the outrage industry and lots of prospectors looking for gold.

Your comment also reflects a common type of “parrot” response — any critique of activities in this space gets the critic branded as “uncaring” or even worse like “racist.” Don’t think that AirBNB should send your photo to a third party to b

Exactly! The AirBNB setup puts both parties in a vulnerable spot. If people are racist let them can my reservation, I don’t wanna see them either!

Why does the process of synthesizing data and then training a model on it work well, when hard-coding an algorithm never does?

Don’t know why a person needs more than one streaming service. How much TV does a person need to watch?

The 747 is humanity's greatest achievement. Air travel is the confluence of engineering, policy and governance (the heyday of the FAA/NTSB and how we got to the point where air travel is this safe), and the systems engineering tha

Very bad to lie about this because the court can easily subpoena Netflix records to see that you did.

This is where regulation helps. California requires that notice periods equal rent periods at a maximum. So if you pay rent monthly, you can always ditch a place with a 30-day notice. So you don't get landlords flexing their power by d
