>Which, if you think about it, makes the "you're selfish to have kids" a sort of species-wide suicidal ideation. But then, non-suicidal people are sort of selfish, wanting to continue to keep living. You do know that…
Yeah, but those guys want to get rid of those greedy artists, so they're all for AI they can leverage. https://arstechnica.com/ai/2023/08/google-record-labels-work...

More than 50 billion animals (land and sea) are killed each year for food in the United States, alone. Farmed animals must be fed to bring them to slaughter. If there was a reduction in farmed animals being eaten for…
There would be far less suffering if we all lived on a plant-based diet. As well it would help in the fight against climate change, reducing environmental impacts.
Sorry, what? Citation please. The speed lost moving a DIMM from a 3cm path-to-CPU to a removable DIMM slot 6cm away is infinitesimal. You would not notice it.
>> soldered-to-the-motherboard, everything-utterly-encrypted approach is that it's almost impossible to do data recovery >Well, that's kind of the point. Not that I don't appreciate a security-minded platform, it just…
The same game is still played today with LED bulbs (whether there's a cartel behind it or not, I do not pretend to know). See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaJqofCsu4
As there has been community transmission and aren't actively testing symptomatic people (unless in known direct contact with someone who has traveled to an affected area, or traveled there themselves), it's questionable…
I do the same when I am on my bicycle as long as there are no cars approaching. Particularly if I'm crossing a moderate speed highway. It's safer for me to clear the intersection when there are no cars moving in the…
Sure, after spending hundreds of dollars on a device, it only seems fair that the vendor exploit your personal information so that credit companies and anyone willing and able to buy the data can compile a dossier on…
When I was 8 and all I had were half a dozen cartridges for my Atari, I would have loved this. Now, this might be interesting to try on a game or two, but I can afford any game I want and there are so many good games to…
That is indeed fictional, but the real world Ford Pinto that was based on is real [1]. 1. https://www.tortmuseum.org/ford-pinto/
Yes, people foolishly gravitate toward trucks and SUVs, fattening the wallets of the car manufacturers and fueling the insanely stupid 7 year auto loan industry [1]. Of course, this is also disastrous for mitigating…
It should have been a free launch title with the Index to spur sales. This is not going to do that now as a separate sale. The buzz (what little there was for an expensive VR rig) is over. It may well be good for VR…

I have a 2015 Macbook Pro. I use it at my desk with an external mechanical keyboard. I carry my 2010 Macbook Pro whenever I'm out of my office. Apple's butterfly keyboard is horrible.
They should be required to display a "premises under 24 hour surveillance and recording" at their front door when they have any of these sorts of devices.
Wow, Project "Veritas" really blew the lid off checks notes a news organization doing news? A CEO directing the news org to focus on a particular leading story? People having their own internal biases? I mean, what…
No, that doesn't follow that 200k "should have been purged." It just means that 200k MIGHT have been correctly purged. People move all the time and don't always remember to update their voter registration until too…
Apple's current keyboard (among other reasons) is preventing me from replacing my mid-2010 MBP. It feels terrible to type on and dust motes apparently break them. As usual, they are sacrificing user experience for a…
There is still nowhere to dispose of spent fuel. No state or town would want to have the truckloads of spent fuel being driven through their territory. The cost of decommissioning a nuclear power plant is prohibitively…
"I don't believe any of the scrolls that overlap with biblical canon are believed to be originals, so what do you mean by fake?" That's true of any bible text we have. The original texts are lost, hence biblical…

Alright, but that's not how I read your comment. Regardless, until we as a society are so confident in autonomous vehicles that we eliminate manual control systems as outmoded and unnecessary, those systems should be…
