Is this process generating the microplastics? If so then maybe it’s not such a great way to post process our litter.

I think this press release was written by an AI.

My son is just starting to code for a class in school. If only the author was grading his assignments…

Was on a Swiss train that did exactly this yesterday. To be fair, the delay originated in Italy (20 minutes late)and there was a minimal impact for people wanting to get to or leav…

This seems like such a no-brainer. 3Blue 1Brown did a video on epidemic simulation, and central markets, places where people in the region congregate, are major factors in the the …

Instead of a bailout, lets do a stock offering, with the government as the purchaser. This way, the government can sell it's shares later on and get the public's money back.

What's a morality rate? Is it a typo or an actual indicator? I found this: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/tag/mora... but it seems to be a typo.

I came away with a very negative reaction to this infographic. I mean visually, not the data. Some how I come away feeling very underwhelmed. The embedded flags, which are at the s…

Get a big board. You have more to and. Our feet don’t need to be within 2mm of the correct spot to get up and going. I made the mistake of learning on a board that was much to shor…

Switzerland is definitely not perfect in this respect but I see a lot of evidence that it’s a good option even if you are not a white mail, which I am (for context). First, my wife…

I signed up some months ago and am using the DNS service on my iphone, but is says that I am #192604 on the WARP waitlist and that they will let me know when it's ready.

Many in Switzerland would be happy if the CHF lost value. Of course, that's only true if we can somehow maintain the same level of trading rights.

One of the problems is that much content is not available via legal means in Switzerland because the media companies have not got around to it, so many will use torrents as it's th…

Happy Gandi customer here. Price is fair, good docs for a smaller provider and friendly service.

I think the GDPR was enacted into law not to prevent cookies, but to prevent collecting data on regular people. This seems to circumvent the technicalities of the law but not the s…

My son has many of your challenges and reading this helps put in perspective his challenges. I'm not sure what to do about him not 'reaching his potential'. I want to be understand…

Modern power plants work hard at getting every last bit of that energy before it escapes. Current Combined Cycle plants, that generate steam from the exhaust of a gas turbine, are …

I want a phone service that automatically charges the caller a small amount ($1-$2). I can waive the charger for known numbers. Each time an unknown caller calls, I get an SMS righ…
