> Could you imagine ants finding a method to annihilate themselves? It's not very hard for ants to collectively commit suicide.

Exactly. These are social and political problems. They won't be solved by expanding. On the contrary, expanding makes them worse.

There are other alternatives beyond "spreading out" and "sitting on our hands". Solving world hunger does not need expansion. Stopping climate change does not need expansion. Preve…

Maybe it's being downvoted because it is simply wrong? If tomorrow all ants disappear then most land-oriented ecosystems would just collapse. We humans are having so egoistically a…

I'm confused. Do you mean the millions of "long covid" cases which already exist today? Or the estimate that about 70% of all people who got the vaccine will be dead within 3 years…

Your parent comment was written in a way to discredit vaccinations as a concept and insinuate that it is cult-like. You may want to double-check your understanding of sarcasm. It w…

> you would treat it with antibiotics and be fine. Funny how you are confirming the sentiment in the article. I'd suggest you read it.

You are welcome to compare the number of cases of suspected-but-not-confirmed side effects with the number of people getting Lyme every year. You may find a difference of a few ord…

Why don't they just solve world peace and faster-than-light travel? Because these things are hard. Lacking the ultimate solution, a small step is better than nothing. Or do you onl…

If you consider enjoying nature as "reckless behavior" then the shared understanding needed as a basis for a conversation may be missing. Lying in the grass looking at sky and star…

Not sure this is meaningful. It's similar to asking "I wonder if the stock market could cope with Elon Musk dumping all his Tesla shares at once. Do it!" Of course the stock would …

Gnome Shell anybody? I'm surprised nobody brought it up yet. About 10 years ago I switched from Gnome 2 to 3. Because my distro did. It was a huge drop in features. Over the years …

"We thank the anonymous reviewers for constructive feedback that we used to improve the article." Standard phrase, credit where credit is due, no need to make some definition worse…

I'm fully on board with fighting plagiarism down to that level. But that said, I've often times wondered if this requirement of having to "rewrite in your own words" may do a lot o…

How about the common daily anxieties "Will I ever find true love?" and "Damn poop stinks"?

This criticisim is slightly misguided. Let's say you have email notifications turned on too, and Joe could be standing next to you. Do you expect everybody to start email conversat…

"unless it is misleading" which could be considered to be the case here.

If somebody is trying to stand out by having a github with two projects, one is a merge sort implenentation they typed essentially 1:1 from a book during an algorithms 101 class an…

"Ridiculous job market"? The job prospects for devs in todays market is an essentially 100% guarantee that you get a job. The demand is huge and there are more jobs to fill than ca…

> Build a small personal project and put the code on GitHub. This has lost its effect and partially turned it upside down. In school people seem to be instructed "have a github wit…

That's more than what Trump got in 2016. Still nobody compared the U.S. to Belarus.

> If there is one single lasting international effect of Orbán and his party, it's how he demonstrated how EU is completely helpless against rouge states (as well). Helpless and hy…

Let's not conflate security and safety here. The boards hailed by the article are all about investigating safety failures, and so is the advocated invetigation board. Security is a…

That makes it sound like Ph.D. graduates are a homogenuous bunch. That's nonsense. Somebody with a Ph.D. degree is just that -- a person with a certain degree certifying a certain …

> The next victim of US military incursion will be oil rich country. There's no reason for incursion if it is not going to be profitable for the US. That's exactly what I'm talking…
