Making prey less scared of the predator makes them significantly more likely to be eaten by that predator. The reality is even worse than “seeking out cats” because it means if it does this in humans, (which it appears to do) those among us

The problem with filling up a ssd is that it writes and rewrites the same blocks over and over defeating the built in wear leveling. Filling an ssd creates the one situation where nand wear out is a problem.

Can’t. Some asshole convinced us to allow them to frame advertising as speech to get it protected by the first amendment. Clever. Tragic, but clever. If you ask me advertising is manipulation, specifically designed to convince you to buy th

Why is that a problem? It’s entirely consistent with religious ideology to trust in god. You don’t get to have it both ways, telling people not to worry and trust in made up crap for one thing and then getting all facts and science just bec

“3-year-old warrant she says she didn’t know existed and stemmed from a dismissed misdemeanor charge” I’m guessing this stunt will cost the city something like $2M, too bad the assholes responsible will face no repercussions whatsoever. You

Shouldn’t we just call them unlicensed and untested injectable drugs? “Peptides” is both excessively broad and insufficiently informative. The purpose of these injections is to cause the body to behave differently. That’s what a drug does.

As with many things it depends on HOW you do it. Uber’s driverless car was unsafe. The Cruze fiasco was about transparency not safety. And in the case of RoboTaxi that shit is absolutely not safe.

I was running Ubuntu everywhere until they started locking security updates behind a login. Now I’m Debian for servers and whatever comfortable Debian based user experience is popular for a laptop. I played with zorin recently. It was fun.

I really like being able to map the Mac key bindings. I run Zorin on an old Mac and I am pleased with it.

I’ve recently been thinking about this a lot. We usually focus on what they have (billions) not where it came from (you) When you frame it like that, the story becomes stark. We should stop giving asshole billionaires our money. Mad at bezo

I own my books too. I’m not sure I buy the argument about ebooks being superior. Remember when airplanes made you put your ebook away for takeoff and landing? My books are always charged. They’re 100% cross compatible. I can just mail one t
