Fast forward a few months, criminals are just wearing ski masks when they steal cars, and you’ve given up a significant amount of your privacy for absolutely zero benefit. Not a good plan, in my opinion.
What about a computer or tablet with a cellular modem on a cash-paid plan and a Skype account or similar service?
Hmm. You first, let’s see how it goes.
Who’s to say it’s a “glitch” and not a feature? What if this “glitch” provides greater resilience to climate change, and we edit out the very thing we need to keep eating despite our past mistakes? I would like to see a…
Not at all, and I did not intend to give that impression. But that “list of hard problems” contains things which are MORE LIKELY THAN NOT to kill us all. Climate change, in particular. I don’t advise inaction. But I’d…
The article could have definitely been more specific. Good thing there are citations with all the specifics you could ask for...
No citations from you either. How about some peer-reviewed studies proving their long-term safety rather than ad hominem attacks on an author pointing out scientific studies proving actual harms? I’ll say it to you,…
In isolation, sure. How many of these little doses of toxins from hundreds of food additives does it take before the diet as a whole is toxic enough to have an adverse effect? Is anyone even watching the combinations…
That talking point has already been attempted by others. Using one term, genetic modification, for several completely different processes doesn’t hide the truth, it just confuses people. And no, grafting entire sections…
...What future of humanity? Call me cynical, but we seem absolutely bound on wiping ourselves out one way or another. Our focus on money above all else is killing us all. We’re playing useless games, winning useless…
The DNA doesn’t, no. But what does DNA do? For one thing, it contains instructions for constructing proteins. Proteins which you ingest with the DNA as part of the food. GMO foods have been shown to produce malformed…
Yeah, I would have expected this to go the other way around. “Parallels bought Corel? Corel still exists? Why would Parallels even want them?”
I don’t remember what I drink right now, but it’s about $16 for a tiny tin at Sprouts, which is very expensive (Edit: it’s Aiya Ceremonial Grade). I’m planning on ordering some from a supplier who ships directly from…
The article says they are 95% less harmful than cigarettes. Yet you say you still think they are “worse for you”. Regardless of accessibility, I just can’t see that being a sensible statement. You can’t say whatever…
What on Earth does that even mean?
I agree. I am very dependent upon matcha green tea. If I don’t have at least two cups per day, I feel terrible. But when I do take it daily, it provides an incredible amount of clarity and energy. I’ve come to accept…
I’ve entirely given up when I encounter a Google captcha. It thinks I’m a robot 90+% of the time and takes so long it’s just not worth it.
I’m thinking about the content creators, they have a warm spot in my heart, but it’s not my job to figure out their business model for them. They sent me their web page, and I get to choose how it’s presented -…
I don't understand the point of buying an eBook with DRM. I'm going to run into an issue trying to get it to work on one of my devices at one point or another. The lack of a DRM-free option is what would tempt me to…
I had suspected this, just from the juvenile tone of the conversation. Those who raised legitimate questions about GMOs were dismissed as "afraid of science" from all sides pretty much immediately. I find largely…
I wish I shared your optimism.

Why exactly would I choose a company which will professionally handicap me for the rest of my career, locking 60% of my income potential at what it is now and leaving me to sort through how to have a career without…
So what, I’m only expected to bring 40% of my abilities to my next job? That makes mathematical sense, but it’s impossible in practice. It would be like trying to use 40% of your arms. If an honest engineer sees a…
Interesting, thank you for the details.
