it would have to be phallic, what else would he want to hold in his hand.

We have effectively had flying cars for years. They are called helicopters. The problem has always been cost and safety. Those are still hard problems to fix. Good luck to China beta testing the safety requirements.

Looks like were really do need oil drillers rather than astronauts. How could I have questioned you Mr Bay? I am not worthy /s

Yes that stood out like a sore thumb when I read it. They found elevated level of things that actually cause CKDu but that couldn't be the cause of CKDu in the areas. /s

No the science is pretty clear, organic farming is substantially less productive than modern science base sustainable farming practices. It uses more land and water to produce the same level of crops and has a serious nitrogen deficiency problem. Yes many past farming practice haven't been great, but farming has moved on substantially. Organic is great for your little backyard garden bed, but there would be mass starvation if the world switched to its. For example https://geneticliteracyproject... and https://www.sustainability-tim... Additionally there are no health benefits of organic food https://sciencebasedmedicine.o...

I agree. The downside is once you get in restricted dialect you start to loosing the benefits of the source language. For example, I suspect with Python you will have problems with modules and you start having to write python is a c like way. In my opinion, you might as will just use an existing language like C or rust if you want some safety.

The moral of the story is never bring a feature phone to a smart phone fight. The Blackberry phone was a very good feature phone that did email well for the time. However, once people could get phone with a more full featured email client and a proper web browser the crack began to form. RIM was then too slow to respond and it was all over when competition finally delivered what we now consider to be a smart phone.

I assume you are talking about this great video https://www.youtube.com/watch?... On that same count SGTU has also extensively covered this topic over the years. The long and the short it they agree with Rebecca about the lack of evidence.

The local government banned animal circuses years ago. The circuses just replaced the animal parades with actual human performers and it is actually better. You don't need holo animals. This is just a stunt to drive interest in a struggling sector.

You can do either sleep or hibernate on Macbooks both work exactly as you would expect. Intel MacBook can be a little slow to properly wake up from sleep on occasion, where some peripherals struggle to wake properly. M1/2 MacBooks are back to perfect, just like it was during the days of PowerPC. You close your MB and it instantly goes to sleep. You open your MB and it instantly wakes ups. No hot bags or mad spinning fans. My work HP laptop needs to be shutdown else it cooks itself. Same with my wife's Dell. Neither of these are budget models.

Hate to break it to you that would have been 25 to 30 years ago. You are getting old. Apple discontinued the newton in 1998. A person called Steve came and rewrote the company, including killing lots of products such as the Newton and changing the management. The pre-second coming of Steve were definitely the bad years, regardless of what you may think about the company now.

There is no science behind learning styles. Here is a nice article that reviews the current research. https://www.frontiersin.org/ar... It is pretty conclusive that the pop psych claims aren't supported by science. The reason scientists do studies about "no brainers" is because there are lots of things we use to believe but turn out not to be based in fact. For example, we don't do leaches anymore. In this case why load teachers down with something that isn't base in fact.

Yes exactly. Learning styles is just more of the pop psychology bs bad life style coaches and self help gurus continue too push with no evidence. Next thing the will be programming for left brainesr or programming for different blood types.

The problem is solar paths / roads are much much more expensive to build and maintenance, and are also a really poor way to generate power.

If you want to use space along path ways for solar generation, it is much much cheaper to just build an awning over the path with the solar cells on it. It will generate much more power and last longer. However, the really lie is we actually need to use this space to generation power in the first place. It is much more cost effective to build large scale solar farms outside the cities and install cells on roofs.

This is just on of those "clever ideas" that people read about quickly in an article and think oh that's cool. If they actually thought about it properly or read a little deeper they would realise just how stupid it really is.

There are plenty of really good discussion about the problems with this idea if you want to look. Try this link as an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

I am waiting until you can program web front ends in COBOL compiled to Javascript before I dive in. COBOL, DOM, Javascript in a stateless environment sounds like a dream.
