Why would anyone put so much trust in to the US in the past? I'm American, an army vet, and proud. Yet, I fail to identify anything other than the US acting in their own self interest since WW2. The list is long, but to name a few, Vie

What I find most interesting about modern society is that every subculture has these hardcore adherents. It's so predictable now. I was at a friend's house a month or so back. He was showing off his fancy outdoor pizza oven, in wh

Well stated. VLC has a few nits, e.g. common settings and useful functionality buried somewhere. Like mouse gestures for instance, you have to go out of your way to enable them and cannot customize the mapping. mpv on the other hand, I have

Just to confirm: this paper focuses on the 'awakeness' aspect of consciousness, not self-awareness, correct? My science literacy is lacking. Personally, I find self-awareness the more fascinating area of study, but any brain resea
