Nothing is ever "free". We know from GMO foods that making bigger versions comes with a tradeoff of worse nutritional content. This will be similar.

That is clearly illegal and probably an open-and-shut legal case (at least as described).

True. Because rational doesn't mean logical, ethical or moral. It merely means that given a certain set of axioms, heuristics and circumstances, it arrives at the same or nearly similar results. The law is rational in this sense but n

Well, your immune system, psychological state and general health is more determined your gut flora than anything you do otherwise (so eating the wrong things can also affect these). You aren't just you. You are a system that includes

They absolutely ARE fascist collaborators with the government. That's related to public utility monopolies but not strictly the same.

He was literally "stoic" which is a wisdom that you can't change most things in the world so you survive as best you can and if you can't you accept that you can't control when your life ends either. If people still

Much of openness is what you are born with. Seriously. You have a baseline and studies have shown it seldom changes much over your life. There are ways to "picking the lock" however, as another part. That's the basis of ma

All European gasoline used to smell like that not so long ago. It's one of the major memories of my first trip to European as a teen.

Probably changed post-publication. That's a super common thing now. And why you always need to both use an archiver site and possibly save a local copy.

ANY molecular biologist will tell you that it's NOT. At 30+ cycles, you are generated false positives off of both everyday Common Cold coronavirus, influenza and probably even bacteria. Literally you are amplifying noise and then call

Well if you want to "control public fear" for political and economic gain, you just adjust the CT value as required to bump up the positive rate or to lower it. Note that the US CDC is using two different CT values: a higher one f

So mammals are NOT Tabula Rasa at all. Some people today need to learn this.

The Chinese government also forced a removal of WeChat from online stores in China. Consensus in some quarters is that a Maoist crackdown akin to the cultural revolution may be starting up. Other companies have been hammered such as all cra

Can you say "Social Media"?! The connection to anxiety, bullying and depression has already been demonstrated with adult women. It should be a surprise that young girls are worse affected. Men/boys mostly don't care abo

YouTube is doomed - they are already a zombie - already dead but doesn't know it. I'm pretty much off YouTube at this point.

Complete agree and understand this. If I stop working out, I start feeling like an old man pretty quick.

At least in the US, this is NOT LEGAL and amounts to violations of law. HR in any companies does not get a pass on that. It is, however, a clear sign that your engineering-based company is NOT long for this world. Time to find a new emplo

Given the time constants (decades to centuries), it's almost certainly too late already! The time to "do something" was back in the 1970s. Of course, the reality is that 1) it's only a problem for humans - nature doesn

It probably is for Germany... I don't see it happening in the US or UK, for instance. Not German enough.

The "20 year rule" applies. Though I'm hopeful. The cost advantages and resource availability look promising.

Oh please. Can we take these people out back and put a bullet in their heads. Reality is NOT about wokeness, power, etc. So much sunk cost fallacy. Not enough actual understanding of the term. We as a species aveve had colonialism sinc

For the same reason they didn't create PCs: they had a different idea of what the Japanese market wanted which was calculators, not computers. And this drove the entire Japanese semiconductor and electronics industry during the 1970s

Parallax beyond the distance equivalent to that between the cameras very quickly drops the distance accuracy possible to resolve into the noise floor. E.g. just a quarter mile is already in the noise.

This is not as easy as YOU imagine. It's at the level of deciding: "Hey, silicon is just like carbon so let's replace carbon in everything: living things, etc. with silicon!" There are myriad of details that can't b

Honestly NBC hasn't been good at presenting the Olympics since 1976. That's probably the last time it was worth watching!

Sure. Take an "smart TV" and never connect it to the internet. It's pretty dumb then.
