All of these issues are functions of a growing population. You know that our species has a problem when the solution to issues becomes "we need to shit out more babies." This modus operandi is no different than that of a replicati

This one in particular struck a cord with me: 一颗螺丝掉在地上 A screw fell to the ground 在这个加班的夜晚 In this dark night of overtime 垂直降落，轻轻一响 Plunging vertically, lightly clinking 不会引起任何人的注意 It won’t attract anyone’s attention 就像在此之前 Just like last t

Seems pretty pointless to me, too. I'll make the assumption that the founders have zero financial interest in Winamp. What's the point of exerting IP rights if you have nothing to gain financially... is it pride? A latent desire t

There is a similar phenomenon in India where international drug patents are largely ignored. Their pharmaceutical market is flooded with cheap generics. It's gotten to the point where the rest of the world just orders their meds online

A world where western nations haven't formed an international cabal of gang stalkers which silence oppositional countries that refuse to surrender their natural resources or exploit their populations.

Who's going to pay to read an article that slings dirt on one of the world's largest and most privacy-respecting companies? > Special offer: Get unlimited access for $1 a week. No thanks. They truly are the failing New York Tim

Clearly he's an anti-semite. /s Any country that engages in such heinous practices needs sanctions. We need to stop sheltering the Israeli government and hold them accountable for their international crimes.

Making it harder to read is tantamount to censorship. It also erodes the user experience. Why do I need to highlight or squint at something a ton of ignorant people disagreed with?

Leaving a million tabs open is analogous leaving all your silverware on your countertop instead of putting it in a drawer where it belongs. Regardless of how convenient it is, it's chaotic and incorrect user behavior. People need to ta

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. There should be some sort of middle ground, which I suspect is what tab groups try to solve. My use case for tabs is quick ingestion of information that I tend to look at immediately, in rapid succession.

It boggles my mind that people use tabs like bookmarks. Not only does this usually destroy your available RAM, but its just not the right tool for the job. You are using a hammer like a screwdriver. To each their own, I guess. Just don&#x27

Keep in mind that there is a reproducibility crisis[0] currently plaguing academia. The quantity of papers has skyrocketed and the quality has plummeted. Until the SNR is fixed, take all of it with a grain of salt. [0] https://en

The solution to this is extremely simple: don't validate usernames, period. The rationale is from an article someone linked here ("Falsehoods Programmer's Believe About Names"): > Anything someone tells you is their n

This is highly tangential, but abuse of a fetus needs to be a federal crime. My mother drank caffeine and smoked while pregnant, and I will live with the consequences for the rest of my life. It is unforgiveable.

This is why most attempts to wrong historical injustices (umbrella term "reparations") are morally questionable. Frankly, I think they are very bad, since they cannot be applied fairly and end up leading to more resentment and ten

Work visas are used as a method of coercion by US companies, and Facebook knows how effective employees can be when they are coerced. I knew of a professor with a work visa who spoke out against a University policy of oversizing certain cla

There are legitimate and recent experiments that have been done to test the simulation hypothesis. In my opinion, it's really not that far-fetched and the potential fact that we could be living in a simulated universe has no significan

The tumor could have bootstrapped the thought that she had the tumor, which led to the actual discovery of the tumor. It's biophysical recursion!

By that definition, were bacteria fake until the microscope enabled them to be observed? Scientific anti-realism appears to be an easily refutable logical fallacy.

Science is great, and I love science, but it paradoxically has a way of limiting our understanding. Things that the scientific method cannot be successfully applied to are immediately written off by such skeptics. The rejection of anything

I noticed many of the same issues, but the most concerning one for me was that the modem (behind the upper rear of the phone) gets extremely hot. This has to be terrible for battery life and general longevity.

I wouldn't view the occult as lesser than "real" science or research. Just because something is not well understood doesn't mean it's false. Science is great, and I love science, but it paradoxically has a way of li

Google purges search results. For example, try searching something considered stereotypical or racist. The only results you will get are ones about reparations or empowering minorities - no stereotypical or racist content whatsoever.

Good thing we have Google around to save the day and defend mankind from evil misinformation. Nothing better than being spoon-fed the pure, raw truth straight from daddy Google himself.

The Human Brain Project is a somewhat failed experiment to understand the brain in its entirety. They started by taking human brain cross sections and imaging them down to neuronal resolution, but the scans took up so much space that there

What are the odds of runaway fusion occurring? Is there any consideration that a violent reaction could engulf the planet and end life as we know it?
