According to Our world in data wild terrestrial mammals make up 2% of the total number of mammals (in biomass so it is not exactly headcount, but also includes predators and rodents not strictly herbivores), while…
Much more thoughtful than yesterday's blog post addressing Moxie's concerns. I wonder if the quality of conversations around this subject were improved if similarly to conflicts of interest declared by scientific paper…
one difference is that authoritarian regimes have been known to infuse everything with state propaganda, whereas almost nobody expects this from western democracies, showing just how much more subtle and even effective…
seconded.
A tie between two well known books: "The making of the atomic bomb" and "Manufacturing consent". Both great in very different ways.
Sarno's book, mentioned in other comments was also on YC's reading list a while ago: https://blog.ycombinator.com/ycs-2017-summer-reading-list/
Thanks for the links. I think there also isn't an API for accessing high FPS cameras on Android devices that support slow motion video capture.
How portable are these techniques to other architectures? Could >100 FPS be realistically achieved today using only CPUs or mobile phones?
Logged in just to say congrats, this attitude is seldom encountered, even among those building their products almost entirely on freely available foundations.
When did Chrome stop supporting web speech to text?
Something like this should play a role in the future of more sustainable clothing/fashion.
The top comment in the thread has the most recent debate I know of.
"Facts can be a powerful weapon against fear, a gloomy worldview, learned helplessness". This is so true. However I also notice a frequent and not so helpful use of such data, namely as a way of countering people's…
Same here. Exactly the 'reason why' advertised in the headline is missing from the article. Is it the collateral environmental destruction if any, that the locals are opposing (in which case it's irrelevant that they…
Want to stop amateur-level, easily-debunked and low budget fake news? Pay for the real thing coming from established sources /s Seriously, fake news has not been invented in the past three years, it was just…
What about replacing the collective work of several misogynistic and racist authors, especially since the work itself lead to heavy discrimination? cough the US Constitution cough :)
I am pretty sure we do not want to go down the 'cannot reason so can be eaten' path.
Why should whales get protection that pigs, cows, and other animals don’t? Most westerners do not consume whale meat, so there's no cognitive dissonance to prevent them from firmly opposing whaling.
I agree the style is annoying, using many such paragraphs to meet the required word count, but Friston's reputation is well established in scientific circles (although I first heard of him yesterday).
For websites where having a unique design is not a requirement or a priority, Bootstrap and similar frameworks are very helpful.
Hacker News :)
Killing Hope and Overthrow are two books on the subject.
I don't know how many people actually consider switching, but adding a few private repos to the free github plan will probably make 99% of them reconsider on the spot and even make others switch to github. I doubt MS…
It is only appropriate if you cannot conceive government actions that have nothing to do with force :)
That would also be a web without net neutrality.
