>Uh, voice? That seems dubious. Apart from vernacular or speaking styles that are generally racial in nature, there's really nothing there. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/17…

I don't really understand the point of the article. How does this research “dispels a biological concept of race”? >“If you ask somebody on the street, ‘What are the main differenc…

I don't really understand significance of this insight easier. Floating point number is just stored in scientific notation base 2. That's it. And kids learn scientific notation in …

Nonsense, Youtube and Netflix offer two completely different services.

The EU is my last hope. Out of all governments and international entities, the EU is the only one I have a stretch of confidence in. The fact that Google and Amazon are located in …
