Animals who see infrared are cold blooded. My guess is that the hardware that evolution can easily produce to detect and process infrared gets flooded by the heat of warmblooded animal and is therefore not effective for…
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices.
I pictured eagles consulting google maps to find their way before I realized that some eagles have GPS tracking devices put on them.
The US has already strongly reduced the use of a very addictive substance in the past by making it culturally unacceptable in the case of cigarettes. Japan has the same culture already with food, where there is strong…
US corporations managed to make food addicting by using science to formulate food in such a way as to trigger a massive spike in dopamine followed by a massive drop a short time later. Combining that with an…
My main complaints with protests these days is that they seem to be astroturfed to keep the discontent people busy with protest that cannot bring about any meaningful local changes. Either they are about far away things…
Regarding the Manhattan project: you can't compare the cost of research and developing a novel device vs the cost of developing the same device using stolen secrets.
The solution to homelessness is not allowing people to sleep in the streets, but making sure they have a place to live.
The right equivalent would be a christian proselytizing to his colleagues. He’d end up with HR complaints quite quickly.
No one needs 32GB, the same way no one needs a MacBook Air: you could very well lug around an iMac or a tower PC if you don't actually need macOS. That doesn't stop me from being annoyed at the arbitrary market…
Is this the year where Apple increases the memory on the base model above 8GB? Will they finally allows you to have 32GB of memory on the macbook Air? Will Apple finally do like all other computer manufacturers and…
Kids spend too much time thinking about social issues that they are not ready to deal with because they are used as pawns in the culture wars or manipulated to feel like they need to consume more. Society has a…
I'd be curious to see where these 14 million vacant units are located. It's quite likely that the majority of them would be located in places where people do not want to live.
A comment doesn't conform to my worldview, so it has to be satire, right? Your solution is what? More government?
They are only able to do this price fixing because of the scarcity of housing right now. If much more housing is built, prices will drop.
Not to mention that construction has seen little gains in productivity over the past few decades resulting in the Baumol effect in the industry. There's little reason that constructing new housing cannot be automated to…
Unless the notwithstanding clause of the Charter of Rights and freedom is invoked
So, by your logic, if someone forgets to lock their door, you should be allowed to walk in and steal everything not bolted down?
There’s already a well known correlation between heart disease and gum disease. One of the hypothesis is that plaque creating bacteria from the mouth end up in the bloodstream and create plaque in the heart. It wouldn’t…
Then mysql got bought by oracle
Great, another app that will no longer work soon after I buy it.
The world needs identity verification as a service. By this, I mean it should be possible to go to an office of ID Check inc, show ID and prove who i am. The id vetting company can then give you a number that you can…
Or the internet is being gradually completely censored leaving only the big sites that are controlled by whoever is in power, as well as a sea of harmless spam that provides the illusion of lack of censorship.
Saying that prices rise because of corporate greed is the same as saying that fires burn because of oxygen. Sure, it's true, but it's not helpful because you cannot stop people from being greedy. What is useful is to…
