Mexico city was built on top a dried lake. It is really fascinating stuff, I would highly recommend to look it up. Ancient farming technology, floating islands, any nerd is gonna love it.

I get a sense of deja vu. There was another such project posted within the last 3 months, and another within last 6 months. I should have bookmarked them, because at least one of them was an open library (I think).

When the australia sub reddit was discussing the introduction of id on discord, the top comment was something along the lines of "look up openfeint". That was the day I uninstalled discord. It may not be an easy decision, especial

You are not wrong, and I am not trying to be pedantic. But I want to take this opportunity to bring up an interesting phenomenon. While the Moon is tidally locked with Earth, a slight wobble in the Moon's motion (an effect called lunar

Not forced. Encouraged. Everyone used it earlier without revealing it, now it is open. Knowing how and when to use your tools properly is a good idea.

Old lead pipes had hard untreated water flowing through them. The lead pipes would internally (normally) be coated with salts, and the lead did not (normally) leach into water. But soft water does not have calcium or magnesium in high enoug

I feel bad that wikipedia (I contribute and donated to it long ago), has forever been a text and photo based encyclopedia based on web. I do not think MS Encarta's budget was more than $50 million, while it obviously had no more than 1

Can an insurance company deny claim based on your DNA? They deny claims for pre-existing condition that you hid from the, which would be the wrong thing to do on your part. They cannot deny claim based on pre existing disposition. Practical

While Nintendo might not lose the trademark entirely if they don't sue, they could risk weakening its strength, therefore they have to sue in this case. Consistent inaction against infringers can lead to the public perceiving the trade

I'd fathom to guess that it's not even worth Google's time to replace a ten people team. It's probably just a KPI sent from the top -"Replace a few people to earn your bonus this year". Constructing useless KPI

Exactly this... my time and money is more important than the cost to the planet. I earn enough to not care. Recycling is a scam. I do not even know what reduce and reuse mean! My car has a bumper sticker that says "SAVE THE PLANET&quot

Question, how do content creators get paid if the platform has no ads? I thought they get paid when I watch an ad, and even more if I engage with those ads? In fact, I maliciously (is this the right word) clicked on scam ads (youtube sends

I am sorry if this is insensitive, but thank God it is difficult to sue a doctor for misdiagnosis. If it were easy, there would be hardly any doctors in the world. Also, maybe I come from a different position but I get a second consult for

I would expect that they'd setup something to notify them of - "abnormally high egress traffic downloading every vault", and yet due to alert fatigue, they never noticed. The specific thing with getting too many alerts is tha
