  • I know it’s just a meme but they both solve different enough problems. A self-driving car can easily turn back into a non-self driving car, meaning you can self drive for long transit and switch to a normal one in the city or hectic areas. This basically solves the issue of self drive tech not being smart/reliable enough. Which, as you probably also agree, is still quite far from perfect.






  • I recently asked a friend of mine something similar and i will add it here for the sake of discussion.

    We need to fulfill our basic needs in order to be happy and content with life. There are 3 basic/main categories:

    1: bodily needs: better diet, exercise etc.

    2: mental needs: intellectual conversation/pondering, reading/writing a book, even playing some video games etc.

    3: spiritual needs: religion/hope for a better time and better place

    I would also add one more,

    4: social needs: spending time with friends and family, doing something for the community, relationships and dating etc.

    Since my friend and I are religious, 3 makes sense on its own. But you might need to think about what it means to you. Imo the most important part is having hope.

    Personally for me, its 1 and 4 that i struggle the most with. And in the end, its okay to be wrong and try different things and formulas to find what works best for you.

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes! You live and you learn!











  • So you know how you have dna? Well dna converts into amino acids and long chains of amino acids are called proteins. Proteins are the real workers in our body.

    But you might think, if you knew the dna sequence, you know it all, correct? Not really. You see, dna is only 1 dimensional data. A lot of the information about the functions of a protein comes from its structure.

    So really, if you have a correct dna converted into amino acid chain (a protein), it still needs to be in the correct shape or folding in order for it to function.

    Prions are incorrect foldings of amino acid which obviously do not work. But whats more is that, when these folded structures come in contact with other functioning proteins, they can turn them into incorrect folding as well.

    Since these proteins are still your own (ie they still came from your dna) the immune system doesn’t quite work on them like it would on a foreign substance like bacteria or virus.




  • But you know for the olympics, the government really needed the extra surveillance cameras after all wouldn’t you want everyone to be safe? And who hates the sports? I mean we all love them and its good for us and it’s good for the economy as well. And it will put our country on the world map, and there will be so many tourists, after all we love tourists and diversity, wouldn’t that be nice?

    And just imagine oh imagine if one of the terrorists got here pretending to be a tourist, and ruin everything. You wouldn’t want them to ruin all the fun? Would you?

    So you see the government really really needs to tighten the security by adding these surveillance cameras, and rest assured it will use all the latest technologies to help YOU be SAFE. /s
