However you slice it, the time it took for this project to complete is absurd. Project started in 2002, it took 20 years to plan this, then it took 3 years to build this low-tech bridge. Even without looking at China and Middle East - in Te

Thinking Fast and Slow is in the center of Replication Crisis. Basically large parts of it were written based on research that later was found out to be fabricated.

Obviously one of them though they had an agreement and other didn't. Or maybe Elon is backpedaling after being hand-slapped by US of A administration for dealing with what they potentially consider to be unfriendly social media network

He is the CEO of a corporation. Let's assume Pavel and Elon had a phone call and agreed on the deal. One of them or both are entitled to announce it. Pavel Durov announced multiple deals before on his tg channel. Now it is surprising t

This is rational strategy for WhatsApp founders: why would they stay after being paid out? There is no way they can earn more on top of what was already paid.

For CI action: pre-build docker image with dependencies, then run your tests using this image as single GitHub action command. If dependencies change, rebuild image. Do not rely on gh caching, installs, multiple steps, etc. Otherwise there

I'm interested in sequencing my genome (I don't consider this data private - really any determined entity can collect it with just a bit of effort). How was your experience with Nebula Genomics? If you would do it today, would you

It tells us that our cosmological models are wrong, which in turn tells us that we don’t understand fundamental physics principles models are built on, and this is a big deal.

This is exactly what I do with socks, and then I replace the whole set. But then it runs into (un)surprising problem: most brands don’t maintain their designs, so if you find something you like, it’s not going to be available when it’s time

Fiestaware from Macy’s is exactly what I’m referring to in the original post - they changed the design slightly on all items few years ago and now plates don’t match! We still use them, of course, but it’s funny that this was the core propo

But they don’t - they get lost. Our original sets are diminished. So I see it as expenditure, and buy inexpensive steel quality sets not worrying about them being matched. It’s insane to pay 120 pounds for a set. Are these items to be used

Depends on level of commitment and results you need. To do it once and for all buy belt sharpener - Work Sharp with Blade Grinder Attachment being probably the best price vs quality vs functionality. For quality sharpening that requires a b

From anecdotal evidence I agree it’s the root of the problem - why have kinds when there are more fun things to do? Among my peer group probably half of the group chose not to have kids. Lucky enough for humankind this is self-correcting pr

Why don’t you back up your point with a study? This is just silly argument to make in discussion. OP presented coherent viewpoint, and asking “for a study” is a simple way to derail any discussion.

Ok, another metric to look at is population access. If you combine population of China, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Myanmar, etc it’s more than 2 billion people without access to American social media platforms.
