Transcendence is 100% a chemical process. So is all cognition and perception.

Aside from internet connection, paper menus are worse on all those counts.

I much prefer the QR codes. I can zoom and search and turn up the brightness for my old eyes. It's funny seeing the current generation get up in arms about progress after spending so much time whining about boomers inability to cope wi

I have two teenagers and it doesn't sound like it's a huge problem. And attempts to stifle phone usage (yondr pouches) are just creating friction. Maybe having a phone out is very obvious but kids have been doodling, daydreaming,

I honestly think it is unreasonable. I don't think the real-world lesson should be to blindly submit to authority. Obviously you have to be realistic, but kids are already very aware of which teachers are being difficult for no good re

Lol, this kind of thing will have minimal, if any, effect on anything. The older generation have had their minds destroyed by cable news and AM radio.

If your argument if "that's how it was in my day" then it's not very convincing.

Technophobia. Kids use phones to communicate with teachers and that includes during the school day.

This just feels like more social panic pandering from Hochul. I sincerely doubt this will have any appreciable affect on kids well-being. My older kid's high school just leans way in. They use phones in class for tasks. They watch vide

Using Cloudfront, the redirect was the only built-in option for a long time. They only added pushbutton HSTS recently. But I'd say author is correct that if you're hosting an API there's no reason to support http at all. Just

Is this meant to be a drop-in replacement for Salesforce or just another CRM? There's a built-in advantage to choosing the tool that everybody uses and that's compatibility. If you look at 1000 data integration or marketing automa

That kinda skirts the main reason EVs are being pushed which is that ICEs absorb energy very quickly and then spew massive amounts of byproduct out the back and into the air. EVs are less efficient at storing energy, but vastly more efficie

I think realigning expectations ever so slightly can cure a lot of that. The cost of renting a gas car once a year or calling a taxi when you're stranded are comparatively tiny compared to retaining full-time ICEs just in case. I'

Every time a mob of people get together responsibility becomes diffuse. You may see a corporation do something negative that was the cumulative result of 100 human beings who thought they were doing what they were supposed to. People who sa

Mitt Romney was not talking corporate personhood. He meant corporations are run by human beings.

Pretty sure that stat is incorrect. There were years in which 1/4 of available supply was bought by investors but that doesn't mean they ever owned 1/4 of homes. And they don't buy and sit on them. They renovated and ren

House prices are supply and demand. More units, lower price. Imagine 1000 homebuyers for 950 houses. Capitalism says the houses go to the top bidders. Communists might use social credit or something. Technocrats might score on IQ. But there

I played with a demo unit a few years ago and the viewing angle was very limited. The image isn't 360 it's more like a porthole view in an image with depth. The tech is lenticular meaning there's dozens of 2d images layered a

He had more than weight gain, he suffered serious liver problems. That was in the movie despite him hiding his chronic alcohol abuse. Eating tons of fast food is obviously going to be unhealthy, but the results are pretty predictable. There

No. It was pretty well disproven actually. And he didn't disclose he had untreated alcoholism during the production which likely caused most of his problems.

Isn't it an open secret that large venues contracted Ticketmaster expressly to do price fixing? It's collusion as much as monopolism. They run operations and absorb all the bad press.

I get the point, but this is a terrible goalpost to be using. Medicaid and SNAP have both expanded enrollment by making it easier to qualify. Being on government assistance is neither here nor there. I realize it's being used a proxy f

I don't see how we're really close to that objective, nor would it be a really pivotal accomplishment. NASA was ordered to shift plans away from Mars to the Moon during the Trump admin and even with their efforts plus sending bill

This is so pointless and petty too. Like "hee hee our software is just like the movies". And continuing the trend of tech moguls watching bleak satire and thinking it's aspirational.
