As a person who tends to come from the technical side, this doesn't surprise me. Without a deep understanding of the subject, how would you come up with an accurate formula or algorithm to meet your needs? And with lighting in a physical space, that would be an arts major, not a math or computing major.

Most of my best work (which I'll grant is limited) came from working with experts in their field and producing systems that matched their perspectives. I don't think this diminishes his accomplishments, bit rather emphasizes the importance of seeking out those experts and gaining an understanding of the subject matter you're working with to produce better results.

Still more evidence that Daredevil's superpower isn't being able to navigate using echolocation, but to be able to take a beating (which he inherited from his father).

A generation ship and a sleeper ship are two different things (that we can't yet do). In one, you live on a ship so your kids can go to a new place. In the other, you don't really live on a ship so you can go to a new place.

This is primarily targeted towards patented or similarly IP protected seeds, with the intent of making them more profitable for the seed developer so they will produce new varieties. How this will work with commercial farmers is a question I'm not equipped to answer, but on a personal level, this is a good reason to be conscientious about buying heritage and open source seeds.

I got a message on my computer, Win10, saying my computer wasn't capable of being upgraded to Win11, but it would be protected by updates until October? 2025. Nice of them to give me a reminder to switch to Linux.

Yes, because he's finally rolling the boulder down a hill.

I didn't think he could look dumber, but then he goes and makes this face.

There's a lot of good evidence that helping people is pretty un-American.

...or rent a vehicle with the fuel savings from driving your EV most of the year, and skip putting a couple thousand km on your car over a long weekend.

My favorite was white phosphorus, which caused Phossy Jaw in the employees making the matches. Switching to red phosphorus would mean a 1% increase in cost or reduction in profits (wasn't sure which based on the article). Doing so would mean your employees' bones wouldn't dissolve. It took regulation to force them to switch.
