  • CGP grey did a video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHzzSao6ypE

    Basically one car breaking too much will make the following brake even more and so on until one stops and there's a jam. There is no clear reason like a road blockage or an accident, just compounding slow down.

  • Just going to say this, sometimes it's useful to confront with people, but be wary of the slippery slopes of negativity that tend to develop online.

    Focus on yourself and improve first, the more you look for something, the less likely you'll get it (and yes, this desperation likely transpires on dating profiles and irl converdations).

  • The interface is so much cleaner and soo much faster, both the UI and the map rendering, especially on some less powerful devices.

    OsmAnd is full of feature and a beautiful app, but the interface is very complex and at times quite cluttered. CoMaps has more compressed map files, faster and (objective opinion) better looking render, is faster to load and uses less battery. I use them both for different goals.

    CoMaps is great if you just want to open a map and see where you are, what is around you, which paths you can take, where the nearest water is and what are the landmarks around you, all without complex UI widgets and complex search, just a plain simple (beautiful) map.

  • But if a civilization is peaceful, would it exterminate another just because they are a threat? It seems quite ruthlessy egoistic. Maybe they would just intervene at some specific point, without extermination but by somehow gatekeeping our expansion and letting us live without spreading evil.

  • Imagine if alien life is common in the universe, but we are so ruthless and evil as a species compared to every other alien species they just don't want to have anything to do with us.

  • The most annoying thing is it blasting "battery low" every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice

  • You can. I can enjoy Hitler's paintings because they contains no nazism, even if a nazist mind produced them (you could argue that in his youth he was not yet a nazi, but that still doesn't matter).

    Heck, I'm going even further and say that even if a form of art posses some inheritely bad aspect, you can still separate it from other artistic characteristics.

    Let's say Hitler did a panting of a gas chamber killing people in a death camp, but is painted in such a skillfull and technically relevant way to be revolutionary in the art, then it's ok if people like it (technically, not ideologically), it's ok if it's owned and hang in a museum, even if it depicts real, evil and needless suffering. You can approcciate something technically or artistically without having to embrace the ideals it represents. And it's important to not cancel things just because bad people did it, because remembering is important.

    As for modern bad artist, it's more complicated because you might not want to financially support an artist who is a criminal/terrible person, but that still doesn't mean you can't appreciate their art.

  • Microsoft lied, when they announced Windows 10 they said it would be the last windows version ever. That's false advertisement and they should not be allowed to do it.

    Also forcing arbitrary requirements for compatibility (that can be disabled so they are not real requirements) in order to buy new devices needlessly should not ne allowed.

  • Such an experiment would be highly unethical and of doubtful interest. After all, you already know sexuality develops without influence, is it useful to know if it develops differently under pressure? To do so it requires to possibly ruin people's live, that's why it's not done.

    Also, we already have the opposite experience: gays being convinced to be straight. As far as I know, it doesn't really work and only creates suppressed emotions that ruins their sexuality.

  • 10 or so years ago, Steam accepted payments in Bitcoin, for some reason they stopped, so they certinaly can do that but chose not to.

    Also, 99% of people would not use it so wouldn't change much.

  • Also just because you have fantasies at some point, doesn't mean you will follow the and they won't "go away" in the future. That's just your brain trying to figure out the unclean mess that sexual orientation is.
