  • The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are now calling an “all-body brain,” with neurons that function as a brain throughout its anatomy.

  • I, for one, would like to see the cafeteria menus in advance so parents can adjust their dinner menus accordingly. I don't like the idea of my children having two all-body brain meals in one day.

  • How does crypto increase privacy? Isn't the whole ledger public, so if someone manages to identify your wallet they can see all your past transactions?

  • How do they do that without sending your actual passwords somewhere off your device, or downloading the full list of hacked passwords?

  • I think you're missing something here; in the UK we also talk about pre-tax income.

    It's important in lots of ways, for example you choose how much to pay into your pension, and you get tax relief on that.

    If you just talk about post-tax income you would miss the enormous difference between someone who is on £54,350 and pays the minimum 8% into a pension (£50k taxable) and someone on £62,500 who pays 20% into a pension (£50k taxable). The second person is a lot better off overall, because they have saved £12,500 in their pension and the first person has saved £4,350, which compounds pretty quickly.

  • Austria: Pylons as sculpture for public acceptance of expanding electrification

    Jump

  • When I was at uni ~15 years ago one of my cohort did his dissertation on this. The idea has been around for a long time, they are just way more expensive than normal pylons (which are incredibly structurally efficient).

  • Sadly I think in the next 5 years, as LLMs get cheaper and more accessible, there will be nowhere left like this. Nowhere that you can have an anonymous old school conversation using a text interface with the expectation that you are talking to real people.

    Maybe there will be some magic anti-AI tech, but I can't think of a way you could implement that without trashing anonymity.

  • I have an electric leaf blower, it's pretty loud and you can definitely hear it >5m away, in fact you could probably hear it several hundred metres away. I do agree they are less disturbing overall though.

  • In the UK we usually just type in the post code and that's enough to get you within visual range of the place you're looking for. The map has some built in post codes but not all of them, but I discovered you can import a complete dataset into osmand as points of interest which improves the post code search massively.

    The repository with the tools to build the postcode POI file is here: https://github.com/hvdwolf/OsmAnd-UKpostcodes/

    But you can also download a pre-built one from here: https://github.com/hvdwolf/OsmAnd-UKpostcodes/releases/download/202102/UK_postcodes_poi_europe.obf.zip

  • Things were definitely different to today, but I think the factors you listed are not enough to explain the massive decline in that graph.

    Things like economic insecurity, cost of housing, increasing isolation / changes in living circumstances, and medication are all likely to be significant factors in my opinion.
