    I had a friend in a similar situation, he explained the issue and how he would fix it. I was baffled and urged him to be careful and assume he was wrong that it had to be wrong. An…

    Mathematically yes, actually probably not. I'd suggest looking into Alcubierre Warp Drive, cool story on why the guy came up with it and shows how to wrap spacetime around a spaces…

    The pw really stressed me, I checked the source code to find what a valid pw looked like. Pretty cool code btw, it has a rule array that with the error msgs, very easy to follow ev…

    I don't understand why go after the VPN, I think most people don't use a VPN correctly. What good is a VPN when multiple apps on your computer are phoning home? If the law has a su…

    This was pretty bad for me, I tried asking the name of a person references in the PDF and it couldn't find it. I asked who is the claimant in this PDF and it said the claimant was …

    I agree with your point here, but I am curious if there isn't space for people to gamble and not be hedged? Speculating naked with the contracts.

    I wonder if the lower emissions are really worth it if the car breaks down sooner. All the electronics and gimmicks to lower immediate emissions at the cost of reliability. My car,…

    yes, WhatsApp used to be great in this regard, you would not get any spam. Now it's starting to get worse and worse. I block SMS notifications since I only get spam there (I'm Braz…

    I think this is nice, it forces people that want to participate to have skin in the game. With proof of work there is incentive for people not invested in crypto to mine as much as…

    It got a lot correctly about me, and put me at 92% normal. I wonder if you are too far off "normal" it won't recognize you correctly, eg age. It seems to be down rn

    As a developer I am bit ashamed of this question, but I gotta ask: What consumer apps actually use Neural Engines? I think something like Photoshop, maybe. But wouldn't it just tra…

    Can you give an example of a country that archived economic prosperity using leftist policies? I also find your comment on republicans quite wrong, since I don't see many differenc…

    No it isn't, the FED is buying mortgages and treasuries to keep the rates from rising. How can you say rates would be higher absent the FED buying it? Rates aren't negative nominal…

    We don't seem to have houses for everyone, people gotta work and produce to earn a house. If you start giving mortgages with artificially low interest rates, people who haven't pro…

    In Brazil there is a 3 second delay before calls start charging. [1] So we would call multiple times, speaking fast during the first 3 seconds then hanging up. Then they blocked it…

    This isn't true at the moment, it could be in the future. Less people die because of nature disasters and such today that they did 100 years ago. Technology and medicine helps us, …

    Yes! A lot of people don't even have access to electricity, even more don't use as much because of the price. We would need to be using way more fossil fuels / nuclear to have more…
