What makes you think that Trump isn't an armchair airline safety savant? He's spent enough time flying around that his lifetime risk is proportionally higher than that of the general population.
What astounds me is that dependence-forming drugs are handed out without any effort to educate the user (often a child) about possible risks.
I too watch Scotty Kilmer. https://m.youtube.com/user/scottykilmer
You have to give Dr. Greger credit for the sheer volume of material he goes through and how jam-packed his videos are with citations. He does a better job at performing credibility than any other diet doctor out there.
I suspect that it's cultural and derives from our economic relationship to animals. I remember seeing a film as a child that depicted a native hunter killing a deer and profusely thanking the spirit of the deer;…
Well, Mike Pence denounced china on October 3 while speaking at the Hudson Institute[0]. He specifically mentioned the million people in detention in Xinjiang. I've provided a link to the video in case you want to…

I'm so glad they banned me.
A paranoid person might conclude that there's an industrial scale effort to distract the population from any issue that might be even tangentially related to their real interests; e.g. their survival and that of their…
There's something about the acidity of coffee and tea that makes most veggie milks curdle; the result tastes something like cardboard. There were some soy-based (So Good or So Nice branded) coffee creamers that my…
Just FYI, Go Veggie isn't vegan or dairy free (at least last time I checked), it's lactose free. Also, Daiya isn't the state of the art by a long shot. If you're adventurous and have a large grocery budget, Chao (served…
What do you consider to be the minimum for advanced type trickery? I ask to see if Ada might fit that criteria and and what features it might be lacking that would make it competitive with Rust in the type-trickery…
Am I paraphrasing this correctly: > Microsoft-branded ARM microcontrollers running an embedded linux distribution. Microsoft rolls out security updates over Azure to reduce the risk of the device becoming part of a…
Not if RMS has anything to say about it.
I think what the parent post is saying is that exploitative labour practices enable the existence of elites with enough leisure time to create philosophical and technological progress. It's basically the argument that…
Well, he did ask about band gaps. Is there a way to understand band gaps without quantum mechanics? I think you only need a little Fourier analysis to get the basics of band gaps. Anyway, that text and along with…
You don't need bandgaps to understand why conductors (other than thin films of ITO) don't transmit light. You derive it from Maxwell's equations and the fact that in a conductor, current density = conductivity *…
Now this I can get behind.
We're at the point now where you could put all the software required to control such a thing on a single-board computer the size of a credit card.
The way you describe it, it's as though American social media companies were used as tools to further the geopolitical objectives of the United States and its allies.
My incomplete understanding is that publishing in big-name journals provides prestige and improves funding prospects for academicians. Since academia is very competitive, researchers will do whatever it takes to publish…
I don't think you're alone in this. A lot of my coursework is presented as a series of exercises in memorizing solutions to special cases and applying those solutions in a treadmill of quizzes, assignments, and exams. I…

Canadian engineering culture is a little different from American engineering culture. In Canada, you can't legally call yourself an engineer unless you are certified as such by a professional association. All students…
Care to post links? I'm planning to use Ada in my next embedded project.
