  • "Does Hitler have a right to privacy?" and other big questions in research ethics.

    Jump

  • How did they know they were indigenous bones? Was dead person's consent asked for to check if dead person wanted to be identified as ancestor of somebody?

    I mean i understand caring for our dead, but anytime it's a matter of consent, its always for the living descendants, HIPPA protects medical records for 50 years, but they're generally protected so the living descendents don't feel impact for anything that maybe damaging.

    And talking about laws I know it's a tangent, but the reason copyright exist after death is so that revenue can be enjoyed by living descendents. Laws are not necessarily sensible a lot of times.

  • Also he's dead, why do dead people deserve anything, any rights? What harm happens to Hitler? He's dead. Did we ask dinosaurs to look at their DNA, for all we know they were sentient? The whole argument is stupid.

  • We should make a song, death..death to the O.I.L.... Same tune as Bob Vylan did in Glastonbury.

  • I wish the Steam Controller used AA batteries

    Jump

  • Yeah the issue is easily replaceable standardized sized battery, if li-ion started doing that, I'd be all in Li-ion band wagon for handheld consumer electronics, till that point I must agree with OP and i would keep demanding Aa batteries and use my niMH cells

  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • And that's exactly why so many people don't vote for tax the rich. Because some people make statements like this and 100k guy think he will be taxed even higher and then he'd go and vote for the guy who doesn't wanna tax the Rich. It's really imperative that everyone under a million or so bands together and any one above a million or so should donate the wealth away to be safe.

    Yes, 100k is much much better living then 30k, but 100k guy is not exploiting the masses, 100k guy is also being exploited. In the class war 100k is in the same bucket as 30k.

  • The existence of billionaires is a policy failure

  • I mean at that rate stoning is free, but I don't wanna stoop to taliban. Maybe French had the right idea.

  • Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]

    Jump

  • From early reviews it seems penalty for emulation is in single digits. Also honestly I am considering one just to watch movies but my intereat would depend on the price of course. So wait we must.

  • What distro should I use to revive this cutie over here?

    Jump

  • This is the answer. Tiny Core is absolute best for old hardware as it gets running upto speed quickly takes very little resources and you can see what kind of resources it consumes and can add things to it to make it useful.

  • People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

    Jump

  • Sorry OP, you got downvoted in so many comments, some of which I thought was undeserved, but some of it is deserved. You asked a question, but came off as wanting to prove everyone else who doesn't listen to music is crazy. Everyone is different, you do you. I think it's very important to train brain to be content without any stimulation and therefore, I think, I play music in my brain, I plan rest of my day or next day, and most of all I introspect when I'm walking around.

    And my life isn't even complicated and I find tons of things to Introspect, so hard for me to imagine people get bored with introspection, but you do you. If boredom is such a massive problem for you because of ADHD, perhaps carry a power bank.

  • pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned"

    Jump

  • Pow ( like bow wow) + Ned (like Ned Stark)

  • How many of you are non-native English speakers?

    Jump

  • English is technically my fourth language and I started learning it at age 12. However I really got good around age 16 when I started watching a lot of Hollywood movies with subtitles. Even now when I speak fluent English, with dare I say some "elegance", i prefer my movies with subtitles, because it's just a happy place in my mind.

  • How close are we to human hibernation? Takes roughly 3 years to get to mars and thought more planets would need us to stay in a state of hibernation kind of like a pod or something?

    Jump

  • Coma has body functions still working, so blood pumping, ceels dying and regenerating, which means if you had cancer it would grow, if you had kidney failure, your blood cleanup would fail. Only thing AFAIK medically induced coma does is help with anything that the brain might be doing to itself like swelling or other complications.

    Hibernation supposedly would slow down all metabolical functions, so less to no, blood flow and so on.

  • Corporations including Apple, Google, Banks push back against Australian proposal to ban non-compete agreements

    Jump

  • I don't know about a lot of industries, but in finance, having a non-compete at least for a few weeks is essential as of your trading positions are known to your competitors, you end up losing quite a lot. I know it's one giant asshole protecting itself from another giant asshole, but at least I know that usecase is justified.

  • How Science Reporting Works

    Jump

  • For profit journalism is a curse to the society. All news source globally should be non-profit with ad revenues enough to ensure comfortable wages to reporters. There should be a capped revenue beyond which And any excess ad revenues should be put in a trust that helps to save niche journalism that might not be ad lucrative.

    Of course inflation and national wage should be adjusting said cap every year.

    And that dream will probably never come True in my lifetime, but hey a man can dream.

  • They have done some good work in last few years, specially the events here and there are fun. But after the event campaign is over. There is nothing else to hope for.

  • I'm out of prep

    Jump

  • My biggest achievement is getting a grand master to play for 34 moves before I lost. Felt like an eternity to think and mind you the grandmaster was playing 16 games together. I would calculate next 10 moves, it will take me 15 minutes and the GM would come and look at board move in under 10 seconds and move on to fuck another player. Our local chapter head got to 41 moves before losing.
