Unfortunately, Bitchute appears to be a complete and total cesspool of conspiracy theories.

Sound waves have a much larger wavelength (in the tens or hundreds of meters). That can never map out the details of a cell. Light, on the other hand, has a wavelength in the order of nanometers. If my math is correct, the wavelength of lig

Why the negativity? This can be an interesting, valid scientific advancement while not being a huge breakthrough.

I might be wrong, but isn't the "encrypt everything & delete key" method -way- more difficult to recover from than an actual disk wipe? I mean, with a disk wipe, you can still try to recover some data using data forensics

I'm not sure I understand this. Humor generally doesn't "contribute to a discussion"—it's purely that, humorous. I'm not sure how OP's comment contributes any less than any other joke one could have made.

You run a VM just to inspect "sketchy-looking links"? That sounds like paranoid behavior, if I'm being honest.

Students would still be able to cheat by collaborating with students and tutors inside the country, then.

Exactly. This thread is mindboggling. Taste in music is purely subjective. If users enjoy listening to Spatial Audio, who are you to criticize it as a scam?

You miss the point. Your iPhone make and model, time zone, and language are perhaps 20% of your fingerprint. After testing, you can scroll down to see different test metrics and see exactly which fingerprinting methods (WebGL hash, AudioCon

I don't think that the point is to convince the insane anti-vaxxer in the mailing list. They are too far gone. Rather, it's to prevent further radicalisation.

I don’t appreciate your characterization of my criticism of the SAT as racist. I didn’t say that “Asians are outliers”. I said that the fact that some people don’t pay to excel at a test doesn’t make the test inherently fair.

That there is more than one way to excel at a standardized test does not mean that economic inequality doesn't play a big role. Note that never at any point did I claim that _only_ money could lead to success on these tests. It's

The nature of these tests ensures that they are easy to score highly on through rote practice with a coach. Coaches cost money.

Disclaimer: I did not opt in to tracking. However... I'm not sure how the discussion about the technology behind ad targeting is relevant to the end user. The point is that it -works- and that the ads shown to the user are indeed more

I disagree that Facebook makes it seem mandatory. Receiving their in-app popup yesterday brought me great joy in denying access.

I'm not sure why you say that. There is no evidence supporting this in Apple's documentation or any protocol reverse-engineering literature I've read on this. Further, Apple's own marketing shows an AirTag being tracked
