This is like saying campfires raise nearby temperatures by up to 700°F – 900°F (370°C – 480°C) or so. We need to heavily regulate or even ban camping.

Growing pains of being successful. These are solvable problems and will be. Can they maintain their momentum without pissing off too much of their customer base before these issues are resolved?

It is not an uncommon view among scholars that humidity and age caused more papyri to be lost than the burning down of the library of Alexandria did. Many of which would have survived by being repeatedly copied and disseminated throughout t

Yes, AI is getting better at finding exploits and cracking software, but it will also get just as adept at defense. It will all escalate, but mostly maintain parity.

This is the case at every company I've worked at. When the CEO says jump, the response is to jump or pack your stuff. What's special about xAI/Tesla/SpaceX?

What a nightmare fueled vision of the future. It probably underestimates just how bad it will be. Well done.

Conspiracy theorists have long pointed out the obviously drilled holes in stonework that was >5000 years old. Of course they want to attribute it to lost advanced technology, but the more believable answer is that ancient Egyptians had r

Polls aren't the end all be all of truth, and can be gamed. They are not a perfect measure, by a long shot.

While Wikipedia is terribly inaccurate and heavily biased, it can be a useful starting point for information on a topic. You have to take advantage of the links to other sources on the page, which often have a different conclusion than what

This is the history of the world. This day and age is nothing special in that regard.

Love Wytch Hazel, good call! I'll give your other recommendations a try. I'm not trying to say there is NO good metal being made. Of course there's Sabaton, The Sword, Lucifer, and Ghost. But those are the exceptions, IMHO.

Actually, the more I think about your reply, no. Modern "heavy metal" is some guy growling and yelling in the mic, unless you know of a metal singer with a great Rob Halford or Ronnie James Dio voice I can listen to. An exception

And what is the name of this great new metal album? Show me.

You're right, I should have used country as an example. But the kind of metal I'm talking about, good 70's and maybe even a little 80's hair metal is in short supply these days. I do listen to a ton of new music, there i

Can confirm that Magna-tiles score high on replayability and are way easier to clean up than Legos. My kids are teens now, but were the right age when these came out. Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys for a greener more affordable option.

It's not like we aren't drowning in entertainment options. Food on the other hand, that's a real problem.

MacOs and iOs are going off the rails. It is clear the CEO is not providing a vision, not guiding the direction, and not assuring the quality of those products. While not as bad as Windows, which has way too many chefs in the kitchen, it is

Attached my old gaming rig to the TV to run Steam on it and it is a better experience than any consoles I have (being a gaming nerd I have everything from my old Atari 2600 and most mainstreams systems since then up to PS5). This is good ne

Can't retailers just price everything to the nearest $.05 to begin with so there is nothing to round? I guess tax percentages screw that up. Nevermind.

For professional graphic designers, cinematographers, photographers, and illustrators these subtleties in the screen is a big deal.

All I see are assertions and no data. Am I missing something in this article?

Sure, but if they weren't done quick they wouldn't be done at all. Have some empathy for the middle class that has to carry this terrible tax burden.

It's not about how much I trust them, but that they were the only ones with the cajones to do the job. And you can see how hard it was by the outcry. It's easy to give people taxpayer money, nye impossible to stop it.

Borrowing billions of dollars when you are $37 trillion in debt and giving that borrowed money to people who hate you is insane. And most of that money goes to warlords and dictators. USAID needed a complete overhaul. And do you accuse the

I said it would be a good thing and still do. Dismantling USAID alone was worth it. It's easy to spend taxpayer money, it's harder to make cuts, no matter how you do it you'll be the bad guy. But government needs to live with

The comments here are crazy. Excuse me if I don't find Wired and a bunch of disgruntled ex-fed employees to be a credible unbiased source. The US Govt is so clearly bloated and inefficient it had to be trimmed and optimized. At least s

I would gladly pretend to be CEO for the kind of pay she got. Blame it all on me, I'll take the money and go retire in Hawaii.
