I was thinking the same. However, the problem is not to avoid people from getting in and causing harm to themselves, but them getting the dangerous stuff out and causing harm to others who actually he…

If satoshi tried to cash out, wouldn't the value of bitcoin plummet?

I use the Web Annoyances Ultralist[0]. Blocks basically everything except the header (non-sticky of course) and the text, which ends up as a nice centered column on a white background. [0] https:/…

The Roman republic was an oligarchy though, and in practice government was pretty different from today's democracies. It's an interesting idea, for sure, but it's really not comparable.…

It's easy if you know what you're doing. I don't think my mother could do this.

Companies aren't people, they don't have an identity or a personality. That's anthropomorphism that benefits them by causing users to trust them as if they were actual people. They aren…

I was thinking the exact same thing. It seems that it changed as soon as people writing online started trying to make a living out of blogging.

Is it known how long it would last? Wikipedia doesn't say anything about this issue

>Steel and concrete is notorious for failing to meet even embarrassingly low longevity expectations. What? Low quality work, yes, as it's true for all other materials and methods. There are st…

I don't know how somebody who calls themselves a "realist" would advocate for a known, actual, irrevocable damage to the planet over an avoidable, hypothetical one. Global warming cause…

Fearmongers like yourself have got us in this situation. If nuclear had replaced coal in the 80s we wouldn't be living the hottest years on record

Everybody understands (or think they understand, anyway) water flow and dams. Very few people understand radiation

Up until three years ago there was "an adult in office" and not all that much was actually being done. Sure, more than now, but it's not like they had plans for shutting down all coal p…

what do you think?

Sounds useful but in limited situations -- open fields (so no forests) and windy but not too windy

>The 100% composite structure has been completely flawless for the most part Doesn't refute GP's point. All the 787s flying now are basically new planes. If they have issues that only app…

>It was surprising to me how much money was spent on the Glass program yet how little was spent on the folks who would actually be coming up with the app ecosystem. You can say that about pretty mu…

One thing that I find amazing about Americans is that most of them don't understand inflation at all. It's uncommon to see any mainstream source talk about inflation-adjusted values when ref…

>Gardening is one of the many areas of life where the best information and the bulk of information is offline. I've come to realize this is true, but why?

Well, it's less cold with every passing year

A man named Null: https://www.wired.com/2015/11/null/

In this case there's a bit of a conflict of interest, considering that he was the one who showed that the government accusing him committed crimes

What? Why is it "pretty obvious"? What causes you to jump to such conclusions? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and this video can be explained by other, less extraordina…

Typical. Magic Leap was valuated at 6.3B[0] less than a year ago [0] https://techcrunch.com/2018/07/11/att-takes-strategic-stake-... …

Your comment reminded me of this story from the codeless code[0] >...“The initiate was only half-right,” said Bawan to the emptiness. “True, the value lies not in carven oak, but neither does it li…

I always read about Musk like he does the whole thing on his own. Never read about all the engineers that work their asses off to achieve these results

Yeah, The Martian is like, the hardest sci-fi book I've ever read, but I found the film adaptation... lacking

Worst part is, the article is actually pretty good. The writer probably isn't happy that the editor chose such a clickbaity title
