I found the rented e-scooter experience in Paris to be a cost-effective, convenient, and quick way to get around the city. I much preferred taking one of them over the subways/bus system or taxis. I did see a lot of…
I have a personal story that seems to dovetail with this article. Back in the days of the pre-Y2K "crisis" hype, I lived in Colorado and was young and more impressionable, I started developing a prepper mentality. While…
A breakthrough in human life extension technologies could help alleviate the need to have more children to perpetuate the species. It is conceivable, as indicated in some research papers, that next century humans might…
What do you mean by revive?
As someone who's done a couple of ultramarathons, my first reaction is "That's crazy." However, the title of the race does have "Transcendence" in there, so it seems a primary motivating factor is to see if you can put…
Pardon the slight (irrelevant) quibble - but land hasn't been "destroyed" - only the "improvements" made to the land have been.
The chart reflects what I've observed in the media in a visually appealing manner. Personal datapoint: I loaded up Threads when it was announced, and then said "meh" because there wasn't enough content at the time. This…
First - please seek some professional help immediately - you are not alone, and these feelings are common in people who've had a setback. Perhaps there's a slight chemical imbalance in your brain that needs to be reset…

It's amazing how many wonderous discoveries are published on the first day of the fourth month of the year.
$10 in 1970's dollars ~ $50 today's dollars. Nicest house on the block with a nice large corner lot.
My mom worked a split-shift (3 hours in the morning, and 5 hours in evening Wed-Sun). My dad was in the army and was deployed to far-away lands for a significant portion of my life between 8-16 years old. My mom hired a…
Eisenhower warned about the "Military-industrial" complex - but it seems to me that has morphed into a "Military-Industrial-Political" which is geared more towards enhancing shareholder value and political capital…
I installed it locally about an hour ago and have been running it through some paces. Nice work! (In addition to the predefined prompts, I like the API usage meter at the top). (now, I just need Openai to take me off…
Sadly, Google's track record makes this more likely than not.
Back before I moved to NYC, I lived in Colorado. When it came time for me to replace my car, I couldn't see the logic in buying a SUV that would be predominantly used for commuting. So, I countered "convention" thought…
thank you
I wouldn't be surprised to see the advent of mandated motherhood in China in the future.
Exactly, people aren't taking care of themselves so that they don't get the chronic diseases that reduce their lifespans. The majority don't realize that what they do in their middle-age years has a profound impact on…
Given the advancements in medical science and longevity research, this is entirely possible. But, the way the world in which we currently live is evolving, it may not be desirable to live to be 100 (or for that matter…
Because of these examples, my immediate gut reaction to a new Google product announcement is wondering how long it will be before Google will discontinue said product.
