Could just be because it is the 21st century and this was written for classroom use.

This wasn't done by 'most Americans'

by bwanab 11d ago
Most Americans refer to their country as 'the U.S.'. The people I most hear referring to it as 'America' are Brits.

No, that isn't the narrative.

I'm confused. In the original comment I pointed out that the article claims AI is a major topic when polls show that isn't the case. I still believe that in 2028 AI will not be a major topic as shown by polls and voting behavior.

Yes, I can't predict the future, but if it were a bet on Kalshi I'd be willing to put my money on the AI won't make the list side.

It is indeed wrong if it were trying to show a list of people who have helped humanity, but that is clearly not what it was intended to show. The specifically define what they're showing as market value of company a founder created min

The other thing about this article is that it contains falsifiable claims that are, well, false. Consider the following direct quote: "The 2028 election cycle is heated, as usual. AI is the biggest topic." No poll of the American

In my now long lifetime, I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase "This time it really is different" for it to turn out that it really wasn't all that different. Maybe this time it is, but I'd put

Can't all those bodily signals (from the article: heart activity, breathing patterns, sweat response, blood flow and temperature) be measured with an Apple iWatch?

It's different for different people. The air purifier method suggested works for me, but any fan is better than no fan.

Total overreach. I go from one pedal driving on my EV to my manual 5 speed 2004 Saab on a regular basis. I've been doing this for 6.5 years. I'm really glad nobody has been telling me that I can't do it.

Evidently the development of the B29 bomber (one of which carried the Hiroshima/Nagasaki bombs) cost more than the Manhattan project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_B-29_Superfortress

Presumably, if they're sitting at 20-30% occupancy, somebody (like the developer) is going to be having trouble paying their bank loans. You understand what happens next? (hint: prices plummet). If that isn't happening then your d

Having just tried it out, it has the same warm sound in the actual implementation.

My step-father taught shop for over 30 years at the 7th-9th grade level using all the tools you mention. I can't recall a single serious accident under his watch. Not to mention, at his funeral, you'd be shocked at how many of his

At least in the US, as long as the charging infrastructure is no better than it is, if you're planning on taking any long trips and you want to do it in an EV, I don't see any alternative to Tesla. And, yes, I know that other bran

Interesting for a group who's stock in Tesla has appreciated > 3 times since the start of 2023, but I digress.... My question: from the article: "fewer than 500 miles between critical disengagement...". I don't think

Yes, Basil II had the unfortunate legacy of not leaving an heir at a very bad time. The Romans of the Eastern Empire had their problems but mostly just a continuation of the old Empire: dynastic jealousy and external enemies. As enfeebled a

One has to wonder about this kind of turnaround that happened simultaneously with Blackberry's corporate implosion which were mostly due to the same exogenous factors.

I came here to say the same. Having recently moved to VT, FPF has been a real eye opener in terms of civil, useful local discourse. I don't think it's in the DNA of people in Vermont since the local subreddits for VT and communiti

It should be noted, though, that by the time of Basil II in the 900s, the Eastern Roman Empire (aka Byzantium - a name neither they nor anyone else uses until the 19th century) had again become the most powerful military actor in the wester

While I disagree with your verdict, those are all valid points. I don't think stagflation can really be pinned on him, though.

I lived in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge TN area at the time. Under Carter the TVA had built full working house demonstrations of solar, geothermal, and passive cooling homes. They were all cancelled shortly after the 80 election.

As a software developer, I completely agree. As a person who's often tasked with building reports for presentation, and more often, for passing on to analysts to expand on, I find that notebooks give a much more accessible workflow tha
