Some years ago I saw an article on HN I think, where an archeologist comment on this. He said, paraphrasing: "You see, we keep finding those statues of penis, and people create crazy explanations of how it is a religions icon and whatn

Yes. Then better quality farmers have two choices: becomea competitor for mass-quantity farmers and rely on practices like feeding animals with soybeans, or focus on the high end market... But vegans convinced people on the high end market,

Mind you, activist veganism is one of the biggest reasons family farms are being destroyed all over the world. Basically, low quality food is flooding the market, and getting purchased by the poorer population, that don't feel they ha

Not if they keep changing stuff. The stadium in question was the one for bicycle racing, it was built for the Pan-American games. Right after those games, IOC decided to change the percentage of seats allowed behind pillars. So they conclud

You never reach that limit if you are accelerating with a normal engine at 1g. You will get closer and closer to it, but never reach it. If you somehow DO achieve lightspeed, time stops for you, completely, so from your point of view you ar

There is a cool calculator of what happen if you travel around with constant 1G acceleration. Long story short: to travel to Alpha Centauri it would take for the traveller still about 4 years, and when back at home, people would have aged o

I am Brazillian and we had that reaction too. The World Cup was more popular, but still wasn't widely accepted as some people think it would be. The Olympics was outright hated, so many stupid shenanigans happened there (like demolishi

In my view seeing him writing double ungood worries me. Don't need to swear, but he could have written "very bad" or something like that.

What I think is a major issue is that the UN "human rights" document says that schooling is mandatory and must teach about the UN (yep! it is a "human right" to be indoctrinated) I noticed then that several governments

Well, you should then read the entire article again, since you stopped reading, and you stopped reading in a part you read wrong, since nowhere in the article he says Ultima was more expensive to make than Wing Commander, he only mentions &

Problem is assuming it was "errors" What I saw: 1. Lots of outright lies, for example Chinese people saying the truth getting arrested, WHO toeing the CCP line (for example claiming there was no human-human transmission) when it w

I think the only cases of major system failures that could be blamed on human error, are ones where people INTENTIONALLY did wrong stuff, sadly, these cases do exist and were very lethal. 1. First nuclear accident: the theory is one operato

I still use CRT... or rather, used. My CRT died too weeks ago and now I am using an LCD screen... I am missing my CRT :( The quality of the LCD is super poor, and it causes more eyestrain than the CRT "radiation" ever did, often I

He is a literal legend in the field of gamedev. 1. He made some commercial and critical successes. 2. His writings are studied in game design academia. 3. His reason to pursue what he is pursue, is a good one, he gave some awesome speech on

I think few people are willing to risk that. When there was some kind of micronation-mania some years ago, with multiple mainstream papers mentioning Sealand and that Australian farmer and whatnot, I went to check, and found out that the UN

Just a helpful note for those that saw they want programmers: You must be hire-able in EU, because they can't afford to sponsor people. Sadly this doesn't include me :(

If I could get a new blackberry that supports WhatsApp (basically mandatory in my country), I would. Right now I am tolerating a extremely low ram KaiOS phone that often crashes... but I still prefer it to Android.

I advertise on google. 1. It is slow. 2. It is buggy. 3. They often introduce new features (instead of fixing old ones), call me on phone, and convince me to use them, only for them to not work right. 4. The UI seemly tries it hard to obscu

Problem is more serious than that. What is happening is that the bad studies are being used for policymaking. Examples: the "nutrition pyramid" that encouraged carbohydrates and blamed health issues on animal-based food, was later

To be honest, there still isn't one. I am not from US, but from what I saw generally both parties act the same, the exceptions are basically a few personalities that warp the VOTERs around them, but not the people in power. Trump for t
