I'd rather not. That stuff isn't my cup of tea. Why don't you just google it.

Agree. And whenever I see someone recommend Peter Watts I feel the need to add a note warning that he's got a lot of sexual torture stuff in his work so might not be to everyone's taste.

Well I'm glad you're certain that none of the passengers on the train were using their phone for critical patient care or handling a time sensitive family issue.

Also the IO controller on the RPi5 is custom silicon "RP1 is our I/O controller for Raspberry Pi 5, designed by the same team at Raspberry Pi that delivered the RP2040 microcontroller, and implemented, like RP2040, on TSMC’s matur

It's quite all right for you to be unhappy about the lack of one feature on the newest version of the RPi but I think you're overstating it by claiming that they are shooting themselves in the foot. Also are you saying that you&#x

Is that because they provided benefits at the expense of being a sustainable business?

It's because the tech economy is a new pathway for money to flow. The wage inflation spiral that terrifies economists is where current jobs start paying more which leads to inflation in prices for goods and services which leads to the

So we have a phenomena where people of group X report anti-X content. Is there an accepted term for that? Not quite the Streisand effect. I wonder how much that contributes to the viralness(virality?) of some of this hate speech? It'

I think there's a big chance it's a bug. Small chance it's a political motivated 'sabotage' from someone low down in the hierarchy. Super low chance it's a political statement from the company management. A fun

This is the only solution in my opinion. Don't buy something cheap if it's from a crap company.

Well imho you have to study the OT in the light of his new message. If you're a Christian then your priority is the message of Christ which seems quite broad and sweeping in a good way. And therefore contradicts all the intolerant teac

There are very very strong historical precedents indicating that a decrease in childhood mortality leads to a decline in birth rates. You should google this. "The child survival hypothesis states that if child mortality is reduced, th

Yeah ok that just leaves me more amazed. I think the military owns about 1% of all US territory measured by area.

There is a chance that LIGO will detect something we don't expect. I believe that has happened quite a bit with optical microscopes and telescopes. Edit: Actually you said that but consider it unlikely which I absolutely can't arg

The wikipedia article links to San Clemente Island [0] I mention because I am constantly amazed at the area of land dedicated to the US Military. San Clemente Island is a 34 km long 147 km2 and shows traces of human activity dating back 10

We are talking about taxing the super rich in the EU to pay for a service (defence) that is currently paid by other people. I agree with you that the economies of most EU countries cannot sustain US military spending levels. My theory is th
