Think of the real estate value living near the food forest... Like central park in NYC, why don't we cut that in half and put up more high rises on our precious expensive land.

"breeding out" is the horrible version of eugenics. Gene editing is the less family destroying, individual abusing way to go. As long as it's more focused on disease removal and le…

I do love lucid dreams but I'm going to need milder non-prescription chemicals. Just need to be content practicing the mnemonic induction I guess, I've never done it seriously enou…

Well said, I hope for a thoughtful rebuttal.

I cowardly use tabs viewed as 2 spaces so if needed in the future some quick lazy code like sed can convert it to 4 spaces or something if someone demands.

Fibonacci? Never! Golden ratio with fractional spaces. With fibonacci someone is always going to screwup the whitespace. :p

Notepad++ has a nice feature to convert leading spaces and tabs back and forth though I never used it on a big mess of a file to convert to tabs to see if it is successful there. E…

I'm one of the monsters that prefers 2 space tabs for my small monitor, 2 files side by side. Like you said and other comments, no newline opening braces, don't mix tab and space f…

I guess it helps to know where/when you can stop assuming everyone else is a seething virus cauldron. Or from more testing... Peace of mind for the testee, social liability coverag…

Necessary for what? To convince everyone to stop with masks and restrictions? It's not just about mortality rates. The other problem is hospitalizations. If you get in a bad car ac…

Probably why most of the richest Americans are working on spaceflight to colonize the moon instead of carbon emissions. Not going to get enough people to do these things and they d…

For all we know a few choke point suppliers could say let's be like De beers and manufacture more scarcity of something like Neodymium or further down the supply chain buy most of …

"I think Facebook spends much more resources than TV channels and newspapers trying to address such issues." Proportional to their extremely greater profit they better be. "All of …

Wouldn't this also open up to foreign influence dumping money and misinformation to promote negative policy decisions. Or not even foreign influence. It's just rephrasing money = s…

Could argue they sell more by fashion and desire to have the newest thing than people caring at all about specs, more ram or cpu or x% better resolution etc.
