Tldr- a new soylent with nutrition levels similar to mc donalds. Seriously though, this title (and the one the BBC is using) is gibberish compared to past articles on the same subj…

His moves certainly show that he doesn't care about anyone but himself and his power. When he arrested parts of the military during their coup practices he created this situation o…

> I don't get why people are still advocating Octave as a Matlab alternative. Because it is the closest thing to a drop in replacement, which is what you need when taking a class o…

intentionally bad programmers don't need the certification, just to pay the standard $25 play store fee. I think this program will help the quality of play store iff they can get a…

Warning the user that it may be illegal to take photos is reasonable, but making a device that acts on the theoretical authority of someone else against its own/possessor is not. T…

I'm not contesting any of those views, I am saying that the costs to the North were significant and the drain of resources caused by the poorer South continues to be significant. U…

The biggest trick in US history was the South convincing the North that the reward for winning was keeping them. The North is stillpaying today.

I think his theory is inconsistent with the pro-brexit group being older, and the anti being younger.. But I think both the brexit group and Trump express the right wing disillusio…

The British as non-EU can't get a better deal than the Swiss as a non EU Schengen area member.. I think the British will either lose more control of immigration from this vote or b…

Foreign Banks will refuse you service if they discover you are a US person with no intention/ability to comply. If they don't they face tax penalties on any US holding and possibly…

Charging for renunciation is the most ridiculous part. You are paying for a process that: is expensive only since they want to investigate you as a presumed criminal or tax dodger …

If saying an employee acted without authorization and/or tampering with the papertrail will save a few million in fines then you better hope no one like that is on your board. But …

I see very little of this in tech and remain pissed at my peers over storage, printers, cpu mmus, mobile phone upgrades, software with no model to reason/guess about how it will im…

I find this criticism and Eliot's of very little value without Orwell's choice of rebuttals. The format of 1984 is very different from A clock Work Orange, which is the closest thi…

There are research projects/papers on the topic with claims that are all based on Brier scores. I'd say Brier scores are inherently biased by choices in framing/asking questions, b…

One of the reasons I like crowd prediction is that it seems to be slowly leading to well distributed groups of people who are able to make educated guesses even with one or two con…

>take or acquire in an unfair or clandestine way Hmm.. The non-poaching agreements were about refusing to offer jobs to reduce wages in an unfair or clandestine way. I hope compani…

I generally agree, but there is an important caveat that relates to human social thinking. It is legal to mail spam since the resource burden is on you, it is not legal to fax it s…

I'd not heard from no permissions, but as with a website, I still prefer things with my signature correspond to things from me and are nice even if the rest is a cesspool. Given th…

Sorry to go OT[1], but is there a link to their general (encryption/integrity) policies? I was shocked they are sometimes delivering the android studio via http and providing only …

The wording and implication of these questions have very different meaning to me today than they did in the 1980-1990s, I can only imagine the 1960s.. Now it is entirely clear to m…

I think this will be a very interesting question even if she ultimately wins as she's certainly had a tough time given her resources. Personally, I don't believe people are buildin…

I wasn't familiar with Charles Rangel until I read this article.. For anyone who suspects the US is engaged in a "Buy American" (or else) campaign to sell domestic evasion/financia…

"The US Treasury worked tirelessly to address many of these problems, and most have been resolved. If there are still problems with the law, then I believe Congress should hold hea…

People in the US should be complaining to the FTC. In the very least, for phone's under warranty, Magnuson-Moss should apply if Apple isn't fixing these problems for free. https://…
