I couldn’t watch it when I was younger to not get bullied

Looks to me that you were successfully bullied into submission. Good thing you got over it.

I really wanted Mozilla to solve the unintrusive ads problem. A couple of years ago it seemed they were the only ones barely capable of working with it and not being destroyed.

But it looks like I overestimated them. They seem to be getting destroyed.

That's as good a reason to go work in space engineering as any.

The idea that social structures have a "logical end" is pure hubris and have no basis on reality.

Yep. Data was created by pure human hubris, without contamination from other kinds of emotion. Kinda like the Frankenstein's monster.

Unless I’m missing something in particular you’re talking about.

No, I'm really asking that. I've heard about "rolling coal" happening, but the other ones are hard to imagine. (To be fair, rolling coal was also hard, but it's well evidenced.)

Do those things actually happen on the US? Because they all look like things that happened once and the media run away with them.

It is easier to understand a foreign language when it's spoken slowly (well, not too slowly).

The loud part is just for the benefit of the speaker.

Recreating photosynthesis is the easiest part by a huge margin.

Whether you decide to define it as synthesizing ATP or glucose, both a simple molecules that we can create in a lab. Everything else is the hard part, there is a huge amount of "things" on that "everything".

 

All those student protests on the US seem to be about stopping their universities from supporting the Israel government. But supporting a foreign government is not a normal thing for a university to do, why do they do it?

Is there some educational or research resource they get?
