Historically, people trusted something reported as fact and were naturally skeptical of opinion. It seems that many people are realigning to an environment where the "facts" were presented to create a limited, specific perspective

The obvious solution is to actually have librarians correctly classify the videos. DDS focuses on the nature of the work itself, not on the keywords or spam in the content. Librarians understand how to class all kinds of works, and it shoul

No, ephemeral usernames are not differential privacy. Differential privacy is repeatedly sampling a database through a differentially-private interface which returns data samples which are either real or fake. The mean and variance of the s

Other folks have highlighted the basics, so here's an analogous situation to think about: imagine that the US civil war saw the CSA taking over the territory of the USA, with the US federal government moving to a large hypothetical isl

It likely depends on what constitutes a valid contract in this jurisdiction. For example, some states recognize a "handshake agreement" as a legally-binding contract, and you can be taken to court for violating that agreement. I&#

For reference, I've designed ~10 PCBs of varying complexity (simple to highly complex) and done plenty of programming. I've used Eagle, KiCad, and Altium. My comments will try to push you to think about some specific points. Looki

I worked at iRobot some years back. I'll tell you exactly why iRobot is struggling: iRobot, at its core, built robots. Does that seem contradictory? Consider that their innovations, what they're known for, lies in robotic morpholo

Yes, because I get gas when I'm already out running an errand. If I'm below a quarter-tank, I go to the cheapest gas station around me (it's not a Costco). I never wait for gas, and it takes me literally three minutes to fill

Good point. Buc-ee's certainly is a testament to that new reality.

Never heard of this before. Got any more information on getting that credit? Can't seem to find anything online about it.

I'm not taking a pro- or anti-EV stance here. It must be stressed and truly appreciated just how long ICE vehicles have been developed and continuously refined at the socioeconomic level. As one example, the gas station is key to our s

Diet and exercise are indeed the keys to weight loss. By focusing exclusively on CICO, one dismisses the fact that people dislike feeling hungry. To say it's simply an issue of willpower dismisses the importance role of hormones in dri

It's not the calories, it's the carbs (aka sugar). The modern Westernized diet is carb-heavy, and carbs are the main macronutrient contributing to obesity (see the clear increase in obesity following the creation of the food pyram

According to this article [1], many people with type 1 diabetes are also overweight. In fact, the article cites a research study showing that, for those with type 1 diabetes, higher blood glucose levels corresponded to higher weight gain. C

The key insight from leptin is that the carbohydrates in the milkshake actually causes weight gain, not the calories. Yes, you do need to know how many calories your specific body needs to properly operate. For example, taller people requir

Thanks for asking. I'll first explain the process (because I want to highlight why IF matters), and then I'll answer your question directly. It's going to take a little bit to properly elaborate, but I believe it's worth

Knowledge of leptin changes this because what you eat does actually matter. The goal should be intermittent fasting, where you eat little-to-no carbs about five consecutive days/week and then plenty of carbs two consecutive days/w

Just looked up his book "The Obesity Code"; not sure if that's the one you're thinking of. Dr. Fung says obesity is a basically a hormonal issue, not a caloric issue. He discusses a "causality test": "If w
