I grew up on more than one continent. The equal earth projection is what my parents put up on the wall at home when I was a kid in the 90s. I've not always stopped to think about it, but when I do, the fact that we still use the Mercat

Thinking from the position of the government that is subsidizing the oil and this losing money to the fraudsters, if wonder what a good course of action could be? - Adding a tax on used oil sold? Might drive the industry away and hurt the s

"disrupt the robotics industry" is a pretty dishonest exaggeration. This desktop toy basically has a few sensors and a moveable head. No capability to pick/grasp/move an object or do any actual task.

I was expecting a research study or some form of insight or interesting information. The article doesn't provide anything more than what pasting that title into chatGPT would. One of the rare times I have felt like down voting. (Though

Among things in space the capture the general population's imagination, this is potentially high on the scale. Particularly with the way Pluto's classification has changed over time, and the emotional reactions to it.

It was a fun browse through. I actually went through all 50. I think you might have a bug in the counter though. It counts the number that you get right (I think), and loops back to repeat the first question until you have 50 correct answer

I have a second google account on my phone specifically for apps that ask for my contact and calendar data. I download the app using that account on the play store, and give it access only to the contacts/calendar of that account. So n

I'm glad that they included the disclaimer that "bibliophiles will have trouble with this step" The whole thing semi horrifies me. I may not be as opposed if the book came bound in sections already separated. But then again,

Being a cat-and-mouse game, would the reaction from the app-owner be to shift the computation to methods that are not discernable by dissection of the app? For example having the app be purely a data collection tool which then streams it to

Thank you for introducing me to this channel! Even his jokes are informative.

I would have loved it if the article had gone into a little more detail about the results beyond stating that in order to cut, the paper had to be neither too thick nor too thin. https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract&#x

It also appears that the horses are given what appears to be a 15 minutes handicap under the guise of 'vet checks'. (Commentary is there under the history section of the article) I couldn't find more information on whether th

Aren't there any legal protections against this? That the company can keep your property by inserting a single line in the terms and conditions? By extension, if one opens a car oil-change shop and puts in a line on page 7 of the terms

It seems the easiest way to comply would be to change the platform to not check one of those 5 boxes. That would have the effect of making social media less addictive, and actually serve the purpose?
