A lot of people - who've become inured to the air pollution they live in - have suddenly seen what clear skies and clean air looks like. Air pollution is a huge public health issue, with all sorts of deleterious effects. Hopefully, whe

It's surprising to me that on-prem reCAPTCHA isn't a service that seems to exist (based on a quick search). Even if it's not Google's reCAPTCHA - is it so hard to make something like this that only Google can provide it?

I saw no mention of Reason or ReasonReact. I thought they rewrote Messenger in Reason, and so I figured facebook.com would be next. Did Reason fall out of favor or something?

Cheaper and smaller, and still $8m dollars. My point is that $8m is a lot of money to be spending on a house for your president (why is the university even paying for this at all?) especially when you then turn around and take a bunch of ta

While we're at it, the University of Southern California has a $5,700,000,000 endowment [0], just (literally just in the last few weeks) bought an amazing $8,600,000 residence for it's president [1], and is receiving [2] $19,278,5

Harvard could easily build that out of their own $40,000,000,000 endowment, if their first priority was actually education, rather than protecting their own prestige and the value of their credentials to the elites they mostly serve.

The entire rest of the world that's not part of Scandinavia is not the polar opposite. There are many countries, and much diversity in their equality and government responses.

Unfortunately the choice of font in the example you posted makes the diagram harder to read than it needs to be. Legibility has been sacrificed to achieve the hand-written look (a font that's less cursive in style might have been okay)

The headline is total clickbait; the site and the article are low quality crap. But, they sure crammed in as many ads as they could fit: find mature singles! Don’t waste your time here.
