I'm not a scientist but seeing "IQ" and "happiness" be considered in any scientific manner and together is an instant pass for me. What is more interesting that this pseudo science is so highly upvoted here which se

Many of us here are old enough to remember the promise of web 2.0 where "APIs will talk with APIs making everything super fast and automated". Then, businesses realized that they do no in fact just "sell a product" but h

Every few years or so we collectively rediscover that general computing devices should be general and repeat the same mistake every time new format is released. We're all a bunch of reactive losers and that will never change it seems.

Japan burns 80% of their garbage compared to 35% of Germany or 12% of US. So disposal isn't very complex but does entail a lot of sorting. The rest of Japan's garbage culture (small bins, poor/mafia organization etc.) is tot

It's a very well proven fact that the scam centers are operated by Chinese given that before covid they were all Chinese casinos that transitioned to online scams because no Chinese could leave China to spend their money there.

I always believed so but it still feels bad to be proven right time and time again. There's a sliver of hope that's always there that maybe, just maybe, people actually care.

I don't think you need to be a doctor to come to a conclusion that a system exposed to more learning data is more knowledgable. This issue to me seems to be entirely a study of psychology not biology.

My guess would be they don't like the fact that httpie is branching out to paid (well currently still 0$) GUI desktop/web apps. The CLI still remains under open source under BSD so I think OP is just yelling at clouds here.

Btw this is low-key the reason why Cambodia almost went to war with Thailand recently. In particular what's interesting is that how quickly Cambodia repurposed scam center employees as internet trolls. They're onto a really powerf
