That's true, but I just think it doesn't have to be that way. The only thing politicians care about more than money is being re-elected, so perhaps if more people took note of the good, populace-serving things that politicians at

I see a lot of people calling BS on the basis that you can't properly analyse dreams through a computer, or that dreams don't have value to begin with. We know. Or really, we don't. Psychologists and biologists don't und

In the end, even if companies made their deceptive/evil practices abundantly clear, I'm not sure it would stop many people. If Microsoft told people setting up Windows 11 that every ounce of profitable data will be used against th

This cynicism is justified, but maybe if we weren't so quick to dismiss good things they'd happen more often.

I do hope that you're learning good habits in tandem with your medicine. Stress-management and self-control habits start small but end up being just as effective, if not more than your medication.The idea isn't to make you depende

I know, right? I heard Americans are born without half of their brain.

In my experience, elder folks prefer familiarity and convenience above all else. My parents were born in the '50s and hate to relearn their phones.

As with any art form, it takes getting creative to make something amazing. It's super helpful to know what each part of the camera does, but also what you can do in spite of them. One of the best lessons I learned in my high-school fil

Meteorites this large are rare, and extremely helpful to the scientific community, considering that going straight to the source is the only other way to retrieve samples. It's spooky because it could mean a huge discovery that's

It's kind of spooky to think that meteorites this large could've landed in someone's backyard and been forgotten, or worse yet, taken in and kept.

If I had to guess, it's probably because most people love a cute easter-egg and this story was someone excited to have had their project noticed and implemented by Microsoft, off whom it was based; and your comment on the matter is tha

With both the 16 billion figure being preceded by the U.S dollar sign, and FTX being an exchange for many different cryptocurrencies at drastically different values, they were probably adding up the dollars invested by stockholders and the

Considering that "pretend money" is purchased with "real money", this distinction doesn't matter much. I guess it just depends on if you consider property valuable despite not having a green tint and dead political

With all of the extra power we have in our components these days, companies feel like they need to utilize all of it, otherwise it's wasted. Thus the suite of horrible programs required to get a USB controller to have deadzones, or for

This story isn't a very new one, and overall repeats the same dated philosophical standpoints about both art and privacy, but man is the author's storytelling gripping. It was interesting to read about the secret service and how t

I grew up in Albuquerque and can say confidently that no one minds having a balloon land in their yard. It's like if a fighter jet landed outside minus ~120 dB and the travel. It's a kind of childlike magic to help them break down
