Not OP but the screenshot in the article pretty much shows something that it's not at the source. You'd like to get the "correct" answer straight away, not watch a discussion betwe…

I'm willing to bet poverty is really what is leading, everything else is a spurious correlation. If you're poor you probably live in a more dangerous area, are in a significantly worse situa…

If I was designing one of these things my goal would not be to replace present day computers - which at this point is nearly impossible given the millions of man hours spent optimizing them - but to c…

I put about a tablespoon of cacao nibs in my breakfast cereal every morning. They are tasty and high in fiber. I guess I have to do some calculations on cadmium exposure.

I'm not sure I really "get" the 400 year old physics. Things like the Lagrangian, Lagrangian transform, and the principle of least action and the Hamiltonian. I understand them on a sup…

He objectively sucks. He's had all the time in the world to improve his technique (to be on par with an average professional drummer) but he just doesn't care. If you listen to them live you…

I've spent almost two decades with complex equipment. In my view it's about functionality. The spread out sw works better because it is there to provide a specific function, requested by peo…

> I've witnessed visiting Indian colleagues of mine being threatened on the street for having dark skin and racist demonstrations are a weekly occurrence. So, like the US?

As opposed to that healthy crack. I guess this is clickbait based on the fact that there are so many alcohol users that the total alcohol related damage is worse (think car accidents and such).

That only works for dishes that are related or similar to other dishes you've made in the past. As soon as a banana leaf, raw fish, etc etc enters the picture you'll want to read the long fo…

It's the difference between spending a lot of time at the slot machine vs becoming good at chess. It's s massive difference. You don't "grind" chess, you learn from your failu…

I haven't met anyone that has read Einstein's papers and things of him as something but a super genius. Obviously his work is based on the result of others, you could make that claim for 100…

That's nothing, most sites nowadays have all the above plus some advertisement banner plus some video on autoplay and when you get past all that, in the remaining 5% of your screen that is still …

Is that not just selection bias? Makes sense that the most gifted students at the most prestigious school over a span of 30 years went on to have great careers.

Didn't their valuation dropped in half? An effort to marginally increase profits cost them billions in the end.

The greedy bastards won't even pay taxes. If there was a good alternative I would switch in a heartbeat. I am happy to pay content creators, but paying $12 or $18 per month just so they disable …

Ok, I wrote "any" but I think the one with bread in the middle would be accepted by most (club sandwich). Can't edit on this app..

I don't understand. If you walk into an establishment and ask for a sandwich, and they bring you any of the items you listed, you and me and everyone would be upset and confused. So no they are…

I liked kbin.social a lot. It's a little rough around the edges, and doesn't have a ton of users, but I found that that's actually very ok. It reminds me of Reddit 10 years ago. Nowaday…
