Bit of a dishonest statement, "They don't want to give it up". As if it's a given that everybody has to drive electric in the future. But the WSJ is filled with what Washington wants I guess.

I am often impressed the potatoes Cyberpunk will run on. Even runs on my retro i3-4130 with GTX 1050 Ti box.

1) The search function has disappeared from the home page. 2) When clicking "details" on one of the search results, and then the back button, the search results disappear. 3) Other than that, thanks man great service!

Funny story. I started a new job in 2017 rewriting a rather large website with tons of functionality. The old one had to be replaced because it wasn't maintained and started to become a security issue. I started doing JS and React&#x2F

Well excuse me for being extremely disingenuous then. But the no harm argument is arguable incorrect, I myself might get a heart attack some day because of a dark pattern given how infuriating those things can be.

They might be too common to be interesting, but if we can't call them out they will never stop. And the fact that people still do this ridicilous stuff is newsworthy of it's own don't you think?

Yes, although you will not find a climate scientist that will admit to having used a model that was clearly wrong. They just silently update the model and hope you don't ask. And if you ask, nope, they will not hand over their model. B

The placement of the traffic lights behind the intersection, and not in front of it, is just hilariously incompetent.

Marc Zuckerberg: "I notice Elon has become much more popular than I am. Elon also owns an internet social platform. Elon has removed most of the censorship from his platform. Maybe if I do the same I will be popular again too?"

From the article: "To date, ESET has found no evidence of actual infections in the wild." It was uploaded to some service though.

Thank you for your explanation of what else could've been found with the LHC and that a lot of work was actually done to disprove the existence of a lot of stuff. Kinda kills my thought experiment though, but I guess that's the po

You're quite wrong in your guess but that's ok. I work in a research lab actually, and there's lots of experimental physics going on here. I never claimed people are choosing a career in physics research for the money, I just

Oh I like this argument a lot, thanks.

Yes? Wouldn't that mean that "the party" is over, just write a single paper and you can shut down and dismantle the machine you've just finished building?

I just said I loved the thought experiment. There's multiple ways to see the flaws in it. Like: how would that large group of scientists (be it at NASA or CERN) keep such a fraud a secret for such a long time? In NASA's case there

I always loved the following thought experiment: Lets' assume the Higgs boson doesn't exist. A large group of scientists has spent 10 billion dollars of public tax payer money to create an experiment that will prove it's exis

The photo caption reads: "An interior photo of a rectangular glass device attached to a building's window, with cables going between it and the ceiling." But it is clearly an AI-generated image. Look at the reflection of the

Today I learned: SELECT 1 / 0 AS var_name; yields a double with value infinite. Which is SQL spec. Must be fun times to actually use that :-)

I cannot fathom a world where this could happen without there being an enormous amount of fraud and corruption going on.

I disagree. MS was completely succesfull in their goals. They kept a ton of developers busy learing useless Xamarin, thus keeping them from developing products that can actually compete with Microsoft products. Next they killed of an open s

The right time for a nuanced discussion of the material published by Wikileaks was actually before the US/UK imprisoned this innocent-until-proven-guilty individual, not after putting him in soletary confinement for 5+ years. So no, no

Well, a cheap laptop lets me check my mail and write a document. Which I can also do on an expensive laptop. A cheap car gets me from a to b. An expensive car too. But seriously, that's not a car. I own a Toyota IQ. Very small, but sti
