As sad as this seems, theres always an ebb and flow of things. Many of these kids will grow up and accept that "this is the way things are", but many others once they learn history will yearn for the world the learn about, where t

That system was the result of asking the system one question "How likely is this person to be arrested?" and taking the answer as an answer to an entirely different question "How likely is this person to commit the crime aga

given this, it would be nice if a standard emerged of offering biometric+password. The idea being you get both the convenience of biometric, plus the security of a password. Of course a password is inconvenient, but thats only if its a us

Its a mix, fully centralized takes power away from people and sucks. Fully decentralized is not stable enough to survive as something useful. The trick is finding the right balance between. Generally its safe to bias towards decentralizat

Are they? What profit would companies have made if they'd privatized TCP and the internet as we know it never was able to take off? A world in which you build an extremely valuable network which benefits everyone, is a world where the

Can't wait until ray tracing is more mainstream. I know NVIDIA has their share of uncool things but I really appreciate them making the RTX series, hopefully we'll see more and more of this.

What is the actual quantity of nicotine in second hand vapor? Most likely not very high.

Is this confirmed by any studies? Quitting either can be easy as just not doing it one day, or a fucking struggle. It depends on the person and the use. Personally I've had an easier time putting down the vape than the coffee cup.

Its entirely relevant. Your speech is subject to civil law, never criminal law, because speech is free. If it is somehow subject to criminal law its not really the speech that is, but some other act which the speech is facilitating. Yellin

I've seen this claimed and I doubt the claim is made up, but I haven't seen the evidence itself. The FLIR video is the only publicly available evidence I'm aware of

If they're all using the same equipment it could be having the same artifact. If closely examined it should be different from different instruments then. And what I said is based on a lack of confirmation of multiple instruments detect

I've seen this claimed but do we actually have confirmed source of that (multiple instruments detecting the same thing)?

This. It fits a lot of aspects of past "UFO" sightings that were actually just a reflection. The major issue in this case is multiple witnesses, and also supposedly multiple instruments detecting it (I've seen this claimed in

Why do you say this? It isn't the most cost effective maybe, but it is convenient and the bluetooth control stuff is kinda nice.

Its not that the choice can't be made. But if that choice is harder to make, the world is probably worse. Its that more people on facebook, feeling its a requirement, is a bad thing .

It seems they do care, but about actively destroying any idea of privacy. Zuckerberg has said before that he feels people need to be accountable and one way of doing that is forcing us all into a singular identity. https://www.m

>meat substitutes aren’t necessarily any healthier than the meat they replace uh...duh? That's the point of them. If you want a healthy meat substitute, have a veggie burger. These are not veggie burgers in any traditional sense.
