And trans people still existed, just had impossibly harder lives than now. Why do we want to return to that?

She was and remains a huge inspiration to many of us. I remember peering over her pages of "Transgender Success Stories" which chronicled trans people who led lives with some measu…

A self-resetting breaker at the power box in the street rated for 10A (220V) or so?

Are you saying they should get a stable genius in?

Freely available hallucinogens at the pole would make things 1000x worse.

We should also open up expired vaccines to whoever wants them. Expiry dates are usually quite pessimistic and medicines often have efficacy long after they're officially expired.

Gold is intrinsically scarce. You can't fork gold and have Gold 2.0 which has the exact same properties of the original Gold.

There are large interpersonal physiological differences due to so many variables that it makes getting high accuracy with machine learning models hard. Only way I see this accuracy…

Omg, is that how Americans pronounce "Ubuntu"? It's Oo-boon-to!

Sounds like you need to move more processing and storage to the edge.

But you can't reliably get beat by beat interval data from a wrist PPG under normal living conditions. Also, to get breathing rate from beat intervals only really works when the pa…

It's insane to me how people here are so libertarian when it comes to experimenting with drugs or legalising it, which has the potential to incur far more costs to society and harm…

The 7.3% was taken at the end of April. It's likely well above that now.

Have a spare screen that you can just slot in and carry on.

Not to go full on conspiracy theory here but a contributing factor could be that those in charge don't want wearing a mask in public to become a norm because it would interfere wit…

Couldn't the rollover be simulated ahead of time by simply setting the date forward? Seems crazy that you had to have people on the ground fixing things as the clock struck 0.

A video of someone committing a crime carries far more weight than an eyewitness account currently.

How do they get to an 180% annualised interest rate? Tala doesn't charge interest, it charges a flat fee of around 15%. If you don't pay on time you get charged another once-off la…

No. The 15% is a flat fee. The penalty for late repayment is an additional 8%. It doesn't compound.

What if initially the AI could just hand over control to a remote human agent temporarily when it finds itself in an unsure state? Jesús, take the wheel!

Yes. They're the best of the commercial trackers, at least from what I have seen. I've worked in depth on this, and we were only able to subtly improve on Fitbit's published result…

Embraer is pretty large. Not Airbus or Boeing large but they make passenger aircraft for medium and shorter routes.

I'd much rather have a juicy severance package. If I leave out of my own volition I don't get the ~3 months' salary.

Really? On a recent trip to Chile and Argentina I only drank tap water everywhere and had no issues.
