The promise wasn't "implied", for many people it was *explicit*. And CEOs have now gone back on their word. Don't sugarcoat it!

I am used to it, but 1. It is rare for the details of how to actually accomplish each of those steps to be both documented and the documentation made accessible. 2. If you can describe it that succinctly, it really ought to be automated. If

Carl Sagan and Arthur C. Clarke both thought that it might. But "current thinking" is that we just don't know. Yeah, it might . Can't prove it either way.

Not quite as bold, but there were similar results to me and my friends being the first ones in our school to build a functioning railgun during school hours, and dissolve lunch trays in PCB cleaner... (No injury or [unintended] property dam

That doesn't fix the issue of the copyright holder being incorrectly identified. A musician uploading their own music should not have to give up their revenue to a company that holds a copyright on a different recording of the same pub

Uh... is that how you think people understand non-native languages? 'Cause it's not. If you are still at the point of translating in your head, you are not a competent fluent listener. Someone who is fully competent in Latin won&#

Also "CDs, or other flat disks", which fail at frisbeedom due to flipping over backwards (or rather, sideways, due to gyroscopic precession). The article explains that it's due to having a center of lift at the front edge rat

Nobody said that faces and emotions don't matter. That's a strawman argument.

In fact, let's go ahead and just look at the actual Conclusion section: To conclude, here, we showed that mask use influences our ability to infer facial expressions at any age. Yes, duh. We're not good at it anyway. (The

Not according to the article. All that it claims is that it may impact their social skills . They hypothesize that masks may cause social development delays, and they measure that masks make it harder to judge emotions, but they do not

After this pandemic is all gone and done why don't we all wear Guy Fawkes masks for the rest of the life if faces don't matter as you imply. Maybe that way we can preserve our privacy and fight CCTV surveillance. You say

Proof? I see absolutely no reason to believe that, and plenty of reason to think it's total bunk. E.g., blind children exist, and they are not psychologically damaged by not being able to read faces.

The OP didn't even say they were American Doesn't matter. The same argument applies regardless of where you live. the choice isn't between current facial expressive norms and different ones, it's limiting

People are generally incredibly bad at reading others' emotions anyway; if masks push us far enough towards actually realizing that fact, maybe it's on the whole a good thing. If it doesn't matter, don't worry about

So social norms change. So what? The way that neurotypical Americans currently use facial expressions for public social interaction isn't set in stone, inherent to humanity, or essential to normal development. It is a collection of acc

The solution is to not be utterly ridiculous about it. You can take the masks off when you are at home with your own kids.

...which policies were only implemented after significant employee pushback over the originally-announced "everyone will be going back to the office full-time" plans.

Nope. Most languages have no written standard, and some have more than one (E.g., American vs. British vs. Australian English, or Nynorsk vs. Bokmal Norwegian).

The data is cool, but the demonstration of the process is much, much cooler. If other teams can replicate it to produce images of several fruit fly brains, so it's possible to study the variation, that could really be the start of so

I built this to solve a problem of my own: when writing WebAssembly by hand to move some hot loops out of JavaScript-land, it was very annoying to have to update TypeScript type definitions for the module exports in parallel with the WAT so

A better example is the mammalian placenta. That actually was enabled by viral genes, while mitochondria developed from free-living organisms.

Yeah, but they aren't looking to print bulk palladium. It looks like rather than printing bulk metal as well as bulk plastic, they are printing bulk plastic and trace palladium, which serves as a catalyst for targeted chemical plating
