Reminds me of Radicalized by Corey Doctorow. The short story of that name within the collection of stories by that name.

Sure. Pets. We could perform tricks in exchange for slices of robot made pizza. Sentient robots may get bored too. Weird bipedal monkey creatures with delusions of grandeur should …

Boston Dynamics. Their robot overlords may one day replace us thus neatly solving most of our problems.

You did not mention Waterfox. It seems to have better compatibility with modern web sites than Pale Moon. Not sure what is going on with Seamonkey these days. I may have to give th…

May I ask approximately how old you are?

I will continue to say C/C++. To me they are not distinct enough as languages to truly be considered fully separate and they use the same compilers. The fact that they use the same…

Extremely biased article. The author clearly hates Libertarians and does his best to just laugh at them and misrepresent their beliefs and makes not a single coherent argument of a…

A console that can't even play red dead redemption is a tough sell.

Do you have a citation for that? Is there any actual evidence to support that idea?

N95 masks very likely do provide a lot of protection from airborne virus droplets and aerosols, but they are still unavailable in most parts of the world including the US. I was ab…

>Dr Fauci did eventually admit that the guidance on masks was not optimal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRa6t_e7dgI That is Dr Fauci himself on 60 minutes in early March saying …

I have noticed that pretty girls seem to remove their masks more often. I think they miss being admired.

He can learn from his mistakes as he searches for a new job outside of public health.

Death rates may not be the only problem though. There is evidence that covid damages the heart and sometimes even the brain. This damage might cause many deaths years from now.

None of that is really necessary. You can just explain that the masks have small holes in them that are big enough to allow oxygen in and co2 out but small enough to catch most of …

There is no evidence that cloth masks are better at filtering out than they are at filtering in. They are not designed to be one way valves. They are pretty bad at both due to the …

https://www.wired.com/story/how-masks-went-from-dont-wear-to... This is also a good article on the subject. The revisionists claim that WHO and the CDC changed their mask recommend…

Would be even better if Oumuamua turned out to be an artifact itself. Its acceleration without any visible off gassing is still unexplained.

You haven't ever met any of these people, have you.

A nuclear pulse vehicle could catch it easily even if we waited 50 years to launch. Its slow speed is actually the best argument against it really being an active spacecraft becaus…

A nuclear powered probe could catch it assuming of course that it continues on a passive trajectory and doesn't change course. Obviously the longer we wait the harder it will get t…

Is he the new Carl Sagan?

We can just build a ship to chase down Oumuamua and end this debate. If it is no longer where a natural object with a passive trajectory should be well we have our answer. If it is…

Only if Western Digital was dumb enough to kill the golden egg laying goose. If I were they I would try to keep the Hitachi manufacturing just as it was when they bought it. They d…

All I get from the article is that they gave some people psilocybin (20mg/kg) and then did some fMRIs. Lovely but I don't see any evidence for reversing mental age here.
