The vast majority of people do not care. Politicians will say this is to stop pedophiles, and if you speak up against surveillance, you’re labeled as a pedophile and ignored. Plus, let’s be real, end to end encryption doesn’t exist if you’r

Yep. For me, I always “dealt” with Windows at school. Computers were just a device you were meant to wrestle with to get a job done and that was just an immutable truth. Then I moved to a new middle school that would bring in carts of iBook

It very much can exceed 100% and it’s not a measure invented for click bait purposes. Look up heat pumps. You can make things hotter by moving heat than you could by directly heating it by burning fuel.

Those 10 commandments there kill any potential this thing would have. Nobody is going to make good exclusives for this unproven device, which makes its alleged quality control goals not feasible.

I think it's good technology to have just in case. For example, if humanity does something dumb that accidentally makes bees or whales go extinct, having an undo to bring back keystone species that entire ecosystems depend on is pretty

And oftentimes what it "teaches" is outright wrong. I've seen a good number of posts of people having fun with Duolingo in their native language and picking apart the mistakes.

As someone who knows nothing about chemistry, this was a great explanation of how explosions work. Thanks.

I see free range chicken breasts for way more than that. If they’re targeting the consumers who buy based on ethics, they’ve already reached a not-unreasonable price.

I imagine a lot of the freshwater savings involves not needing to feed an animal. What they drink and eat takes large scale agriculture and processing operations which will be cut drastically.

They’re one of the biggest forces to have ever existed in emulation, pushing forward accuracy when other emulators were made just to be good enough to play a game, as well as archiving countless rare games. A true legend and they will be mi

I guess it depends on quantity? Half an onion is easily just a couple minutes for me--maybe 5-10, at most. And yes, I know what proper caramelization is, and no, I didn't somehow mess up the time or anything because I keep track of whe

I wonder how true the western claim is that North Koreans always feel like they’re being held hostage and fearing for their lives, so they make sure to stay in line. Or whether it’s closer to its neighbor, China, where most people simply do

It truly is incredible how a site that was perfectly usable over a decade ago has been massively updated to become unusable and with zero desirable features. I guess now there’s video embedding, but it’s the worst embedded video I’ve come a

Unfortunately, it seems the path the world is taking is to become less dependent on Taiwan and China while avoiding upsetting China. We're going to see a repeat of these events 20 years from now when Vietnam's economy grows, thank

>That’s not how rapists operate! They seek positions of power. This frames rape as some thing people plot out and rationalize over a long time. Rape is like any other crime. Some people think about it critically and finds ways to commit

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a massive country with 90 million people and an area about 4x as big as Texas. That's a very impressive achievement.

An oft-repeated mantra is also that "gender is a social construct." I think up until now, American society has for the most part retained some pretty strict images of gender roles and stereotypes. Turn on a TV and it's bumbli

Yeah. I think for people today it's absolutely unacceptable. There's a need to fight oppression and gain acceptance. But once nobody cares anymore and nobody is bothered by the existence of trans people, I wonder if that's

I won't risk saying this in real life or anywhere where my real identity is known, but I do wonder if the end result will be similar to what's common in many parts of Asia: a third/fourth gender. Instead of saying trans peopl

Stinky tofu smells a little funky, but once you take a bite, it’s juicy and savory. Taiwanese stuff definitely stinks more, but the mainland Chinese varieties don’t really stink at all and retain a savory taste. Natto literally has the smel

Posting a salary/pay range is no different than posting a job position and a location. No plumber in Indiana wants to apply to a job that ends up being an opening for a brain surgeon in Botswana. Why should companies be able to waste t

This measures output in dollars, which is an absolutely useless metric since China’s manufacturing appeal lies in its ability to undercut every other country on earth in its cost to quality ratio. If you can make, say, a screwdriver in the

If the people of California decided to secede, they'd have the entirety of the US military giving them 24 hours to reconsider or else. If somehow California fought back and held out for a few years, maybe the US would give up and let t

I hope so, but I'm not sure it'll be common for those outside of the tech class. For one, there was already a massive shift that nobody noticed. A few decades ago people complained about how awful and soul-crushing 9 to 5s were. W

Vitamin B12 is produced only by bacteria. Not yeast. It’s incredibly difficult to get sufficient quantities of B12 outside of meat products or manufactured supplements.
