I do think they have a point: there's not many other engines I can think of that are quite as 'tangible' as theirs. Every object has its physical place in the world and can be picked up, manipulated,... in a way that's unlike other engines where the world just feels more static.

We have this in Europe for new cars, and the issue everyone expects is that cars are terrible at accurately knowing the speed limit. Current cars often can already show what they think the speed limit is, but it's often inaccurate due to missing a sign or road crossing, or any other software/image recognition problems. Which means you're bound to get false positives, causing drivers to turn off the warnings each time.

The only upside is that we might get another epically long Milo Rossi debunking

Oh, that's not even showing as a missing character, to me it just looks like 0.9

At least we agree 0.99... = 1

0.9 is most definitely not equal to 1

I mean, he had been abusive for years, it was sadly not a unique nor surprising case, except for his fame, but fame doesn't make you a good person.

They work on light scratches, but anything too deep will damage the data layer. However, you can do a lot with cloth and toothpaste

Those were legit, though, you can resurface optical media to allow it to be read again

I remember seeing a hypothesis that ADHD would have been beneficial in Hunter-gathering, as you would more quickly move from plant to plant rather than fully depleting a resource. It was just one study where they had a sort of game/simulation to test it though, so very early days on that theory.

The meme may be true, but it is less meaningful than you might assume at first glance. The obvious comparison is those memes comparing wages or dollar values with house prices, where obviously inflation has made a huge difference in 100 years. However, you should compare it to other types of investment, so does a stock index grow as fast as home prices or not?
