    I find your sentiment interesting, but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings. Of course, more research is always being done, so I'm sure in a few years a…

    I think the issue your ideal world of communication runs into, is that experts can't dedicate all of their time to public outreach. That's where journalists come in. If you want to…

    I've been sniffing around for projects to do to improve my coding ability and understanding of different programs/languages. Your article really motivated me to start some small pr…

    A very interesting little story. I wasn't surprised when I saw that a movie about this had been made in the 80s. Although, I was also not surprised to see a healthy amount of [cita…

    I think that's the point. I'm personally not an advocate of this because it seems to be a little too "beat you over the head" with its moral metaphor, but the whole point is that t…

    I think a rebrand would and a healthy amount of not-with-a-10-foot-pole-itis in their attitude towards any mention of youtube or music downloading would be helpful. Like a secret m…

    Honestly Fortnite has been consistently popular for a few years now. I'm betting on it becoming another Minecraft type of game where it could be still popular in 5-10 years from no…

    Been doing this for a few years without assigning a name to it. It works wonders for someone who is a chronic procrastinator like myself. I'd also like to add: If you can set a sch…

    I actually just used Best Buy as a vendor. I found the laptop elsewhere and it was the only place it was available (coronavirus shortages). It doesn't have any bloatware other than…

    From a Chinese multinational to an American multinational. I'm not convinced that any sort of data safety will arise from this. This is really just US giving China a taste of its o…
