  • They do have bike motors you can install on a standard bike. It's not going to be as powerful as a moped or anything, and you risk having it stolen off your bike, but they exist.

  • They're including a tracking chip in the vaccine. I learned about this on the Google News app I have installed on my cell phone, television, computer, car, gaming systems, smarthome appliances, and eyeglasses.

  • Active macrophages can damage healthy cells. It's a very serious condition when they do, and it can lead to runaway cellular death. It doesn't mean that this treatment will cause MAS, but it's a risk that should be investigated with human trials.

    It also has a metabolic cost, in that the active cells consume energy and oxygen, but I don't know if it would be a noticeable effect for the average person.

    My guess is that this would be something you use when you are at increased risk for cold and flu. Like nurses and doctors, teachers and childcare workers, and nursing home staff during the fall and winter.

  • I thought it was his enormous teeth and dorsal fin that- no wait I'm thinking of someone else.

  • I would definitely pay a premium for an open source car.

  • So he stole a chicken, which is actually a war crime, and he's just casually admitting it on social media. Says a lot about the state of the world at the moment.

  • The Facebook feed is an advanced algorithm that knows a shit ton about what to feed you to keep you engaged. It's not just the cookies from sites you visit. They track what thumbnails get you to stop scrolling. They track the way a human eye moves and how far your thumb glides across the screen.

    Point is, if it's all scantily clad thirst traps, thats what gets your attention. If you see one, and you stop to take a screenshot for an article you're writing about how it's all thirst traps, then every third item will be another thirst trap.

    Facebook doesn't care if you want to see that content. Their goal is to keep your eyes on Facebook. If it makes you mad enough to comment, that's engagement.

    I didn't read the whole article, so maybe the author addresses this, but what you see on Facebook is a funhouse reflection of your own interests.

  • This is yet another impeachable offense. Congress just needs to sack up.

  • People are mad at you because you're accurately describing reality.

  • Myke Horton would like a word.

  • Honestly, whether I agree with him or not, it's refreshing to have a progressive leader actually attempting to be persuasive in his campaign, rather than just "Look how bad my opponent is! I promise to do all the things you like and none of the things you don't like, depending on what those things are and the context of the decision."

  • Oh yes I completely agree with you that the OP point is total horseshit. Things get named in the moment based on thousands of factors. Misogyny might be one of the influences in the moment, but I don't believe there is a trend in the industry to avoid feminine names for AI products.

  • Also because the "x" sound was easier to identify than EVA or IVONA.

  • True. But the meaning is the constellation, and the star sign, which means twins.

  • Also, Gemini is decidedly masculine, as it refers to the male twins Castor and Pollux, the plural of the latin geminus.

  • I know a guy named Aubrey, but what difference does that make? Apple named the product in the USA, where the masculine form of the name is extremely uncommon, especially since 2011. The name was chosen because it was a play on the SRI technology and because it is a girl's name.

    Also, Pinto means tiny penis in Brazil.

  • Siri is a girls name, though. In like ten different languages. It was the 12th most popular girls name in 2009, 2 years before Apple launched Siri in 2011. I understand that it was named for SRI, but it was still a feminine name.

  • It's like if the slowpoke meme and the fellow kids meme had a baby and it tried to claim it was steering the boat while waterskiing.

  • I was hoping for a decentralized version of discord ever since they started requiring phone numbers.
