I would assume that many/most countries in climates where power interruptions quickly turn into deaths to avoid building in a dependence on an extra-territorial grid for base-level…

If it is Prometheus' fire, we are not ready to handle that fire yet. When one of the core concerns of using a technology is to prevent it being used to create weapons capable of ob…

My life kind of started anew. Not in a "wow this is fantastic", rather the opposite. Old sorrows surfaces, forgotten experiences had to be dealt with, but I was finally able to sta…

This is a good point! Stimulants are not always necessary long term, but they usually are to start effecting enough change to be able to function in the present society. For some (…

A typical characteristic of people with ADHD is that typical doses of - say Ritalin - creates no euphoric effect at all. Every adult I met that is "on" stimulants has echoed the se…

My story is the same, blown off by doctors for years because, I don't know, but not being "too successful" was definitely part of it. Lead to a burnout-like state that started deve…

In Sweden at least it is classified as a disability, because whether or not it's a evolutionary adaptation, people that present typical ADHD traits are functionally disabled in mod…

Also don't forget that drugs have changed the life to the better for so many on the ADHD spectrum. Though drugs are only part of the solution for most people with ADHD, it's almost…

It's probably doing some equivalent of solving a hard inverse problem approximately using numeric method, likely with as lest as many unknowns per pixel as the image, in a noisy do…

While the wording isn't particularly clear, the later remarks contrasting full-width with full-screen makes it clear that full-width in this instance does not refer to the full-wid…

Compared to a children's book it is both, but compared to a lot of other TV-series with similar audiences, not at all. As the context is a bit unclear, I don't thing there's a stra…

Single photon detectors have existed for a long timet - though not anywhere near those speeds afaik - hence the one bit part is not particularly strange, not as long as we're talki…

It's almost certain several people did, but either didn't get a response, or - infinitely more likely - that the seed used for the icon was simply never recorded. Found the timelin…

Everything I have seen from Autodesk, this was what I expected from day one I learned of Fusion 360. I hoped I would be wrong, but no.

According to the tagged union Wikipedia you referenced, a disjoint union is also considered a tagged union. Whether or not that's actually a correct description within the vernacul…

Apple decided that /anaconda was an illegal place to store files during an update, so not only did I have a mysterious upgrade who took a very long time (hours) even on SSD, I also…

Hmm, I might have used that, or at least something very similar. Don't know exactly why, but then, it was a while ago...

It's true that Jetbrains has lots of developers in Russia, but Jetbrains s.r.o is Czech and was founded in Prague under the name Intellij Software.

San Fransisco has one of the highest, and in some cases - highest - housing and rental prices in the US. If taxes are as high as you claim, it would be more rational to argue that …

Apple's smartphone market share in US is almost 50% according to the numbers I see, how is that small?

Apple is a government supported legal monopoly due to patents, licences and copyrights, so are many others, but they are too. If Apple wasn't both the largest US phone maker and a …

Copyright on macOS, and patents makes Apple phones the products of a company with a legal monopoly. Are they an illegal monopoly in the US? Well, that's trickier. There are several…

Apple can be said to be a monopoly according to at least some definitions of monopoly, more precisely, and at the very least - it has a legal monopoly on selling macOS due to copyr…

Seems there is a fair bit of non-flying insects in the data, and seems also to be only few sites, so might be hard to compare with European data? European decline is afaik mostly r…

Hard to tell anyone's intentions, but that's probably, at least partially, a side effect. Apple seem to use security primarily for two things, marketing, and to ensure they have co…
