AI is a problem only now where the people in power or their families are at risk of being assassinated. AI assisted drones were not a problem at all when they were sent for years to kill everybody in weddings at some obscure Asian country

There is a firm definition of species that works most of the time, but has been expanded with a lot of complexity and exceptions like rings of species for example. In short if two animals can mate and produce fertile offspring similar to th

Could be as there are bloodsuckers also in the sea, but my bet would be Batesian mimicry. Many dangerous animals have stripes. Some similar species of octopuses are known to master moves an patterns mimicking sea snakes and lionfishes.

At -20 Celsius we will eat more meat, not less. I'm having a headache trying to parse the first paragraph, but definitely we didn't beat the photosynthesis. Not yet.

Really smart point. The problem is not that we couldn't improve cities to sustain -30 Celsius winters. This is doable. The problem is that places suitable for agriculture would vanish in the upper half of the continent. Canadians need

If the history is real, it seems that a group of Hindi visitors created a trouble by requiring the removal of female staff during his visit to the tower. The people at charge accepted, instead to stand their ground. Employees started a stri

I would propose to use xenoceans for any ocean out of the Earth. From Xenos = alien. They are different enough in structure and composition to deserve their own name. Iceans may be confusing, as it does not suggest a liquid stage under the

True fact. Relatives in an emergency often act irrationally. I heard of an old case where a man suffered a heart stroke, and his child was ordered to phone rescuers. The boy ran to the nearest phone booth, said "my father is very ill,

Just some thoughts 1) Animals can synthesize "rocks" with hard materials that will sink naturally, but that are buoyant while their owners are alive. This means that we can expect a thin layer of a fake "rocky" bottom in

We have to take in mind that Russia is also barely alive and on life support Putin only has one good exit: to fake a strength that at this moment it does not have, and declare the "victory", in the current broke state of this mess

The authorities assuring that the drinking water that is sold to you is really of drinking water grade is the most basic of the basic rights. Not a luxury. The "right to culture almonds" or to have a pool is a different question.
