Let’s call it a collaboration
To Hell with paperclips. This is now our plan.
Should you care that your heart surgeon is a necrophiliac? Probably. Should you care that some AI researchers are in a sex cult? No.
Nearly half of all US high school students are below average in reading.
“News is what someone doesn’t want you to know. The rest is just advertising.” Variously attributed to George Orwell and William Randolph Hearst.
I tip for service I’ve already received and I’ll tip in advance if I’m using the space. E.g. if I go to a coffee shop to work, I’ll buy something and leave a tip. I’ll tip if you make something for me, like a…
If you put more effort into this comment—-like explaining how “this tip thingy” is rooted in racism—-I might have left you a tip.
This is the kind of level-headed advice I wish I got from my older brothers.
I use a podcast manager to listen to all of my podcasts. Do you have a feature that would allow me to syndicate a feed to my podcast app?
Nailed it.
I’m in the middle of this right now. They detail a scenario that starts off pretty convincing but takes a turn into a sci-fi feel when this fictional model starts strategizing on how to escape its containment. The core…
Is it the end of the world or just Davos?
I love this because it explains so much about the human mind. Rationally, it was the medication. Emotionally, it was Jesus.

In the United States, stochastic terrorism is neither a statutory offense nor a term of art in criminal codes; it is an analytic label used in scholarship and practitioner writing to describe probabilistic risks of…
It’s unsettling to think that humanity has lost knowledge it once had, but it happens all the time. Anyone here know how to harness a horse to a buggy?
True that a majority of the electorate voted for and should have expected this, but Presidential approval rating is in the cellar.
I came here with a similar thought. Given that we don't have a really precise definition of that transition from living to dead, I wonder if this could be it.
Wedge issues, deployed by both political parties, do exactly this. Wealthy donors express their political desires by funding politicians who become dependent on their continued financial support. The voter gets just…
Currently, due to the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare, health insurance companies are prohibited from setting rates based on individual risk (except they can charge higher premiums to tobacco users). Before the law,…
Fair point. We _currently_ exist in a time of choice, but that is only due to the recent availability of effective birth control methods. Some choose to do it the old fashioned way and let the fates decide when and if…
Personally, becoming a dad was the single best thing that ever happened to me. I haven’t loved every minute of it, but it added abundant love and purpose to my life and gave me what I didn’t know I needed. My only…
Or leave it as is and let it become a honeypot for people who don’t understand the laws of thermodynamics.
I love this. It seems like conspiracy theory on a Universal scale.
