Conservative economists (when they testify for the chemical industry) believe that the free market is perfectly efficient, so if they can make money doing something, it must be good.
It's hard to believe that this is true, but it appears in so many industries in many variations. e.g. if (name some pop music artist) music is popular, it must be good.
I think it is strange that someone is vacationing with their spouse now.
omg - what rock are you under?
I'll list some for you:
1) smart phones - world changing - 13 years ago with the blackberry when people started to use them
2) human genome sequencing - world changing - 15 years ago - completed 2000, but finalized in 2003
3) digital cameras - world changing - average people didn't start using them until 16 years ago, 1999.
4) LCD monitor - world changing - 17 years ago
5) rebirth of the electric cars - world changing - 7 years ago
6) Linux - 24 years ago
7) Amazon - 21 years go -- and in particular, AWS, 13 years ago.
oh, if you are looking at things when they were first invented, ARPANET is 1969.
all of these things on their own are meaningless, but together change everything we do -- globally.
life is very different now because of all of these things.
I think you are mistaken -- 3 is normal. 2 is color blindness, commonly red/green blindness. And by receptors, I presume you mean cones.
Perhaps you are thinking of tetrachromat, where very few people have that 'condition', and Concetta Antico is one person who does... who also happens to be female... with the presumably prerequisite 2 X chromosomes. Eagles are also tetrachromat.
I find that an implant that allows me to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks is the way to go.
I've done something similar for years (going on 6 years) with a lower powered one.
It works great. sits above my furnace (not on it). Auto restarts on a power failure, etc.
My crawl space isn't dusty nor wet as a lot of posters suggest to protect against -- and after 6 years, it doesn't owe me anything -- still going strong.
A 'rocket', sure. But a 'plane'?
Come on! Here is my wingless rock 'plane' and my wingless shoe 'plane'.
It lands via a parachute, just like a... a 'plane'!
(roll-eyes)
heavy publication bias towards positive papers (where significance was found, as opposed to negative papers supporting the null-hypothesis)
I'm afraid all [science] research succumbs to that.

Oh my god!
Y'all driving me nutzo!
Does that happen still?
Wow!
You get service if you have a card, otherwise you are to use the oh-so-helpful forums.
Oh wait, you have to have working internet before you can get there! Better hope you have a card!
Maybe, if you have a technical mind, you can write for a living to help STEM people make sense to other humans.
I have no idea which jobs are not suited to you, but being able to write and communicate is valuable. Having a liberal arts degree, since many fail to notice, gives you the ability to cross disciplines easier than the single discipline degrees, since that is the definition. Both are useful.
At 25, you are just starting out. Find something you are passionate about, and go for that.

When you need a car, truck or whatever, you need that mode of transport. If all you need is to move your ass down the street a short way, a bus is helpful. Walking works too. And In so many cases, walking is faster than a bus -- why don't you walk fool?
They are not the same, not even remotely.
what driverless cars can replace is commuter vehicles, especially outside city cores. They will be more convenient than zip cars (in the current state) or the like, after all they come to your door. A bus doesn't, unless your door is where the bus is. Owning a car may seem ridiculous if you order up one, step outside and its there for you - drops you off at your destination and goes off to help another traveller or 2.
By the way, who says it has to fit more than 1 person? or more than 2 peopel?
How often do you travel with more than 1 person? I know my answer. 1%
What's your time worth? I know my answer.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
