Funny, just two hours ago I saw my first Starlink satellite train running across the sky. It felt spooky and futuristic at the same time.
I went jogging in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and stepped on a huge rat. Poor dude was just having breakfast in one of the garbage heaps on the sidewalk. Never experienced that in Europe before.
So could we get members of Congress to write positive RT reviews?
Interesting perspective, thanks for sharing.
WallStreetMillenial on Youtube just had a nice explanation why comparing risk for self driving cars and human drivers is not that simple. At least for Tesla, the answer is "hell no". https://youtu.be/wCJ7fNoEUsY?t=287

Parking where you want can be a problem. You won't have issues if you use a parking garage or park in the outskirts and then use public transportation.
If I understand your hypothesis correctly, the obvious counterexample is German. Germany had a very weak central authority for most of its history, a steady influx of non-native speakers, and still maintained its…
In Finland, ethnicity is fairly homogenous, and so is culture and language. The only exceptions are the Sami people (10,000 in Finland) and Finns of historically Swedish ethnicity. So in that sense, the white people of…
The Firefox addon Sponsorblock blocks almost 100% of those ads. Together with uBlock Origin, I have an almost ad-free Youtube experience.
I understood that reference. To add some content: Dirk Müller is a German doom prophet who some day, eventually, will have predicted it all along.

Deep down the brain is 100% discrete: Neurons are either firing or not. To me, the brain's biggest mistery is how it goes from this to doing all the analogue stuff, and ends up with our capacity to deal with symbols.
Imagine two scientists, Bob and Alice. Bob has spent the last 5 years examining a theory thoroughly. Now he can explain down to the last detail why the theory does not hold water, and why generations of researchers have…
You just described the majority of scientific papers. A "working set of instructions" is not really feasible in most cases. You can't include every piece of hard- and software required to replicate your own setup.
Thanks for the detailed answer, I really appreciate the insight. I work in research myself, so I'm familiar with the general constraints. I was certainly unaware of the size of the data coming from the detectors. If…

No, complete plays is simply their measure of user satisfaction. If I like a song, I usually listen to it until the end. If I do not like a song, I usually skip it after a few seconds. How would you measure user…
Of course there are big problems with how we do science. Much of it is garbage. Imagine most software was written by junior engineers, without any code review or input from seniors. That is today's science. Most…
Good luck defining what "full documentation" means.
Based on your recommendation, I just read the first chapter, a harrowing account of how the first sub-based spy mission against Murmansk went catastrophically wrong. During a rescue operation in the Arctic ocean,…
I don't own a car and don't have AC. Still, my emissions and resource consumption are far too great. To long term stabilize climate we need to be poor, compared with today. Tough sell in a democratic society.
Probably "we do not strive for growth in the farm's output". However, I'm not sure these people understand how much more expensive food would become without pestizides and fertilizers. Degrowth means literally to be…
