Stories recounting cruel physical and sexual abuse are only a google search away. Of thousands of children being disappeared. Of being woken in the middle of the night to dig grave…

The outrage is over the atrocities, and the people insinuating that those atrocities were somehow ok because some papers were signed beforehand Asking questions like “did they know…

“ Perhaps they didn't know”?! You think the tribes knew about the atrocities and were ok with them?

That’s what you’re supposed to do when a gunman is trying to kill you

Stop valuing your stuff over other people’s lives and you won’t have this problem

You totally can in safe rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/sync/atomic/struct.AtomicU64.h...

Because time in the real world uses leap seconds. The time businesses open and close. The times reported in news articles. And so on. What facebook wants is for all of them to stop…

The lasers they use are extremely specialized, since they have to deliver outrageous amounts of power for a very short period of time. Advancements in normal lasers may not be of m…

If you consider massive amounts of suffering and death caused by resource shortages to be “good” then we have very different values systems

That’s assuming they ever even make it to net positive energy output. The article carefully avoids mentioning that the lasers they use are wildly inefficient. It is very hard to br…

In most of the US they aren’t common. Outside of that debacle in Texas, I can’t recall any rolling blackouts in the US from lack of supply. The rarity is quite likely why that even…

> if you get vaccinated, you won't get covid Literally no one reputable ever said this given that original studies showed 95% effectiveness at preventing wild-type Covid…

Getting $1000 to put towards paying for alternative accommodations would be very helpful?

Adding features to existing software is much cheaper than writing entirely new software (not to mention the cost to switch!) At the same time, new features in low level software ca…

Email addresses aren’t usually secret though. If an employer happens to know the personal emails of a large fraction of its workers, it isn’t going to be meaningfully slowed down b…

“There exists a limit to growth” and “we are remotely close to hitting the limit” are vastly different claims.

That would add overhead to every call. The first question that they ask is: “911. Where is the emergency?”
