Can an insect feel pain? What about a mushroom, or a plant? What things are conscious enough to feel pain? I'm genuinely asking because I because it seems arbitrary as to where the line gets drawn. Before the 1980s it…
I read the title and initially assumed this was about web serials[1] in the sense of serialized fiction posted to the internet. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_fiction#Web_serial
The thing that's changed is how time is no longer major limiting factor. Previously Jill would have had to learn enough about programming to make an app, whereas now she can write a few prompts and receive something…
I found these references to Mullvad and TeamPCP >The whole operation ran primarily from Mullvad VPN exit nodes and virtual private server infrastructure, with little effort made to blend in. This was a high-tempo,…
The constitution isn't static. Amendments can be repealed. An elected government could appoint judges to overturn any previous precedents
