We describe "consuming" information and media just like food. I would settle for all media and advertisements having a required Nutrition Facts label: Serving size: 1200 words / 60 seconds Total commercial advertisement conte

Sadly the system is incentivized to kill off "harmless pirates", especially if they are doing something interesting. It's always going to be in the best interest of commercial broadcast operators to lodge complaints against p

I think people completely miss the point that this further enables a caste system in the US. You have an entire class of people who have almost no rights who live and work in this country. Any politician that makes it easier for illegal imm

In my head I've always read that as rando-mart. I have a mental image of a small high-density city street shop with anything you could possibly want to buy including small ascii art images of my ssh keys.

Very good talk. However I would only disagree with her on the idea that funding will dry up for particle physicists and that the model of funding helps to drive the useless cycle if bad ideas in physics (and any government funded science).

American exceptionalism is dead. Persia was once known for their strong pursuit of knowledge and science, it's why the majority of the visible stars in the sky have Arabic names even to this day. Then the region transitioned heavily in

Hehe. One time I was in a ride share from Berlin to Essen. "Where are you from" I respond with something mid-western. "How far from New York or LA is that?" "I can drive a day in any direction and still be in the

You have to remember that all of the classified details about US hydrogen bomb designs we have were leaked from leaked from Russia after the Soviet Union broke apart. And yet only two countries have managed to become nuclear states since th

If you garden then you may want to know your actual amount of rainfall to gauge how much watering you need to do. You'd be surprised how much rainfall can actually vary over a small area compared to a regional average. And for people i

This reads to me like someone who has been raised to believe identity politics matters above all else. But to be more generous, sure, there are limits to the degree of arsehole people will tolerate as they follow the mission. However then l

Here here. On one hand, she makes an attempt to "Sam Harris" the issue of conspiracy by recognizing that a persons circumstances lead them to their beliefs. It's obvious some segment of "the establishment" was lying

Forgetting the differences between TX and RX, a loop antenna is a transformer and works on a different principle from what most muggles think of as an antenna. The "radio" part of a wave is one half E-field, the other half of the

There we go, thanks. The most useful comment buried at the bottom. I'm not in disagreement of the ethical issues pointed out by the top 20 top comments here. But I think it demonstrates how many people here are from the ivory tower of

Very interesting, and the Bankers Almanac was something I'd never heard of before. We're all used to PayPal/Stripe/etc. working instantaneously because it's already inside the US system. While SWIFT seems decrepit,

Lovely, a hit piece on anyone who's likely to have thrived during the past 2 years. Just another article that talks extensively about introversion and never actually explains what it means, other than to equate it with shyness which is
