I seem to recall the fatter growth rings they put in on spring/summer increasing the density of the wood. You could be right though, I'm having trouble finding it on Google tbh. Th…

We've already got super trees (genetically improved). These are selectively bred trees, not GMOs; stuff that gets super site-specific, like 'north side of a hill within 100ft of a …

I'm asking this in the wrong place, but does anyone know why coreutils doesn't include sha3 or derivatives?

> We may need to wait a generation until people who have grown up in this world and can filter feed on the information can create/disseminate narrative adapted to the new rate of i…

There was a security researcher in NYC that wrote about recovering his stolen scooter with an Airtag that discussed part of this question. At least some of the shops know they've g…

I know Kroger (or QFC) has been doing this for ~6 or 7 years. My wife would start getting targeted ads for things that were in areas we lingered around for more than a few seconds.…

How about that Star Trek episode where they simulated all conflicts in a program and then killed the real soldiers which were lost in the simulation? Sometimes I wonder if TV was e…

Oh boy, can't wait to hear old Switchblade on the CB again.
