But if it pays more to be corrupt then status quo will remain. It seems that at least 8 of 22 senators could be on the wrong side according to the votes for the Cocaine Legalization Bill: https://transformdrugs.org/blog&#x2F

No budgies it seems, although they're not usually seen in the wild which might be the theme here. To me it would be cool to be able to decode bird noises to their meaning. Am really curious as to what birds are chirping about.

Not recently, did watch this one though https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Made_(film) So many movies would not exist if drugs were made legal.

The interesting discussion to me is why governments are not doing more to decriminalize or legalize drugs. That seems to be the only way out of this mess.

Yes the corruption makes it difficult to do much, but the War on Drugs has been going on for more than 50 years. It's quite obvious that another 50 years will not do any difference, but the proposed bill just might. https://

Good reminder that the vaccine does not work right away. As for vaccine resistant strains, the status is that vaccines are still effective in dealing with known variants. Here is a study for the Lambda variant and the efficacy of the vaccin

The EU and perhaps NL in particular should really take another look at legalizing at least hash. It would help to also legalize cocaine, but even Colombia that would benefit most from it, is still not ready to do something to break the stat

Ioniq 5 is good proof that charging continues to improve, it charges about 22 km/minute, provided there is access to a 350 kW DC facility. If there is only 100 kW DC available, charging will be slower than the Enyaq. Range is a bit sma

Provided there is a charging facility at the parking lot, which there isn't currently. If you live in a house, then EV starts to make sense.

Even newer EVs can only charge to 80% range in 30 minutes, while a stop at the gas tank takes about 5 minutes to refuel to 100% range.

It will be interesting to see the terms and pricing for this. Charging speed is still not great, the new Skoda Enyaq iV can charge to 80% capacity in 34 minutes. That translates to 12,6 km/minute for the first 80%. A 10 year old diesel

If there were some specific examples then the article would be better, perhaps he is thinking about robots, it's hard to say. A quick look around tells me that AI is nowhere near ready, but i guess his job is to keep the public interes

Number 1 is still the major issue, electric cars make sense for those who own a house or has access to an underground car park with charging. If you don't get a Tesla then the infrastructure is still not great. And roaming negotiations

I am not at all surprised by the popularity of Orbán. An important part is the strong resistance to migrants, which would mean a great influx of mainly Arabs with an incompatible culture and religion compared to Europe. Look to Sweden to se

The term "career superpower" is great, i find that the ability to relate a current problem to a large collection of notes taken on a daily basis works extremely well. A lot of information for these notes come from in-depth article

On the Brave browser for Android it also downloads the PDF file and stores it locally. Websites should use HTML and not PDF in my opinion. On top of that the end result is not very readable on mobile, the font is too small.

For relational databases in the enterprise with large amounts of data, batched inserts work great. For large deletes it is often better to move the rows that won't be deleted to a new table and rename the table when done. With large up

It's a good insight to know what the hardware is capable of. The SSD in the authors machine can do 1300MB/s and the latest M1 model can do 2100MB/s. For current gen SSDs with PCIe 4.0, that number increases to 6600MB/s f

Pull Requests are great, but i think they can be a serious problem if you have to merge between multiple release branches, with testing and approval for each release branch. Using Trunk-based development with feature flags seems to be me to

Yes, the title reads more like click bait, perhaps because the title "SELECTIVE EXTRACTION OF LITHIUM FROM CLAY MINERALS" from the patent application would not generate enough clicks. Apart from the semi-novel concept here, the w

After reading that the Brooklyn author is indeed of Iranian origin, this story made a lot more sense. It seems that middle east regimes think they can control any of their citizens no matter where they live. I wonder if the US will impose s

This is on top of the 220 mln euros fine for antitrust abuse in advertising: https://www.ft.com/content/41266f56-01af-432f-b13f-d03216f82... Still, it's not quite at the same level as the UBS fine: https:/&#

Useless to the general public, but a great way to collect fees from those infringing. I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment that you need to actively use the patent in a product or forfeit all protection.

Perhaps not unique to Wechat, but still a cultural thing. In Europe a plain smile is still just that, a plain smile. Reserving it for communication with your manager or boss, is not how it is used. The LOL or ROFL emoji is to me out of plac

It's worth noting that the EU-paid study was done in 2013, back when streaming and YouTube was on the rise. Billboard called streaming unignorable in 2013. https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/business/
