I do not have time to listen to them all, but I have a good bank of techy podcasts downloaded for long journeys. See also the YouTube stuff below.

YouTube subscriptions are to 200 Universities and institutions, I cant be bothered to type them in.
From which I have created playlists of lectures, take a look if any subject interests you and you can see where the content is from and you can subscribe.
Antimatter, Art, Astronomy, Biology, Black Holes, Chemistry, Climate, CMB, Computers, Cosmic Rays, Cosmology, Current affairs, Dark Matter and Energy, Engineering, Events, Fast Radio Bursts, Food, Fusion, General Relativity, Geology, Gravitational waves, History, Human Genomics, Humor, Humor, Maths, Medicine, Meteorites, microscopy, Neutrinos, Outdoors, Particle Physics, Plants, Quantum computation, Quantum Mechanics, Quasicrystals, Seti and Exoplanets, Solar System, Solar Terrestrial Physics, Spacetime, Superconductivity, Telescopes, Ultradiffuse Galaxies, Vacuum, Video of the Week, Visual Astronomy.
I have watched about half of the lectures in the playlists, the rest I have listened to at least some of it to ensure that the content is not completely off the deep end.
The most recently updated playlist comes first, unfortunately I do not know how to fix YouTube so that the playlists are in alphabetical order so you have to hunt through them for the topic of interest. If anyone was interested I would probably put this all up on a web site and format it for re-consumption but as I only have 5 subscribers I doubt there is much interested in "Curated playlists of public and graduate level Physics and Science lectures from great universities in English. Updated daily." lol indeed.
The content of these lectures is unbelievably good and is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So it is spectacular that anyone on the planet can watch them for free at the moment. Another good thing is that they do not have any commercials except at the start of a few and there is no deafening music or morons from the TV industry dumbing down and ruining the content. Oh and you need a serious attention span as most are edging an hour long. Absolutely fantastic! I threw my TV away.
I bet they still publish the shit that comes out of the Daily Mail that won the Brexit vote in the UK. The Mail basically advocates killing immigrants and scroungers like the unemployed and disabled because fuck them eh?
I don't suppose the c*nts have banned alcohol though as it kills more people with cancer than anything else once you stop tobacco. Of course they also criminalize all the safe fantastic recreational drugs discovered since the invention of alcohol and tobacco. I suggest you ask your elected representative what the fuck they think they are doing?
I bought a pack of cards for Christmas for a dollar. Its a nice pack and we enjoy playing with them. That's why there are so many companies selling different things for different people! But understand that I'm as happy with my purchase as you are with your non-purchase. That doesn't make either of us stupid. On the other hand I also bought a cheap watch for a couple of dollars and cannot understand why there are shitheads that pay hundreds of dollars for the Apple watch that runs out of power after a couple of days. I suppose they are fucking morons who knows?
The ribbon is designed for fucktards who want their mostly television widescreen application UI desktop to be full of ribbon icons. This is because westerners want various medieval societies to be smarter than they are and to ensure that Muslim sperm inseminate their wives. To insure that thirteenth century jihads fuck all of their moronic women in future the whole desktop will be filled with advertisements for overpriced SUV's that are guaranteed not to kill offspring making them scream louder than a jumbo jet in a crash as recently advertised on radio in the UK. Basically you are a moronic piece of shit that marketing drones will fuck with as they see fit and no quantity of racist presidents is going to save you from being fucked by a corporation that wants you money. Penis sucking Suckers!
Tesla has taken on the establishment with its electric cars and is still around despite the opposition. Lets hope for humanities sake they succeed despite president c*unt.
Of course if you don't have masses of insurance that will keep you alive even though you are not brain dead most healthcare systems will kill you anyway. So fuck this news because it has fuck all to do with how you will die.
Oddly enough cock-womble appears to have the march on you. The UK at least uses a lot more power at night during the winter. See http://www.gridwatch.templar.c... As ever a mixture of power sources is likely to provide the best results globally.
Public imagination is a fickle thing often focused on the here and now. The great thing about FRB is that they are truly mysterious at the moment and a little over excitement is forgivable because science is often thought of as threatening or boring. Politicians are driven by the imperative to put bread on the tables of their voters and science often loses out because of it because it does not make money directly and it poses irritating questions such as climate change. So I say FRB being posed as something fantastic is not necessarily a bad thing. No doubt they are the boring result of some mechanistic behavior of the universe but just the idea of them being something more important knocks on the door of peoples imagination. It sells the story of why we do science at all, it is all about human curiosity which is a defining human quality. We are curious. The big questions in science are already literally fantastic and the answers we already have are beyond imagination. If you put up a big gravestone to the human race I think it might show the most significant progress in the area of scientific understanding. Fair enough we have encoded effective social progress in religious systems for living but the real hard work I think has been in the imagination that can comprehend outside common experience. If you insist that humans require a second party for meaning - a god - then it would seem a trivial existence not to investigate what they have created. FRB's are cool and I want to know what they are.
You confuse knitted yogurt uneducated environmentalist activists with climatologists. The science says CO2 is driving climate change but says nothing about how to achieve a reduction in emissions. Sure the knitted yogurt brigade want us to live short brutish lives in caves to achieve this. Most scientifically literate people prefer the direction we have actually taken with a mix of better building insulation, electric cars, cheaper renewable energy sources, safe nuclear power, telecommuting, even fracking if it is regulated to prevent environmental damage - which it is not in America (Don't you think it is time to fix your corrupt politics to look after the voters instead of donor corporations?)
Live in an unheated cave? Or kill millions of brown people through sea level rise in places like Bangladesh? Fuck that, I think we have smarter things to do than either of these options.
You are lying about being a paid shill that is for sure. See I can shout unsubstantiated claims about lying without any evidence just like you. Have a nice day shill.
Slavery made the Roman Empire great, slavery makes the American Empire great. So no, not much chance of Donald changing anything, especially something that is making America great again. It is what people voted for no?
As intense as one carnivore taking a bite out of another carnivore. It is just what they do, so no big deal really unless you enjoy watching one animal fighting with another. It is a bit monotonous IMHO, lots of noise, teeth and claws basically. Still it sells news outlets pontificating on the likely outcome, will the bear eat the lion or vice versa?
Maybe hipsters will like it but no grown up is going to automatically want it. You might recall the introduction of digital watches in the 1970's and the attendent mockery. New technology is often labeled as unicorn territory by the thieving bastards that take our money off us but people are not necessarily as infantile as they might appear. There is a solid fashionable retro movement gaining ground in the market place for things like vinyl records and artisan everything. Lets face it the fashionable input method of swiping a touch screen comes from the lack of any other control surface on a mobile phone and its use in full screen monitors has been ignored by the majority of purchasers. People are not complete idiots and will choose the access method to suit their needs so voice will find it's niche but is not the future. At least it is not yet, it may get there in a couple of decades when you have your own personal digital AI that is indistinguishable from a live person and is not completely owned by a corporation or the government. Until then I see little utility in it except for use by paraplegics.
To be fair it is true that visiting America as a tourist is not terribly appealing these days. It is not likely that I would voluntarily endure the security theater of air travel to the United States and it's hostile border control system. It is ironic that the terrorists have largely won the war against the West by making us ripe for right wing fascism. Who would have believed that we fought the Second World war against Nazism and the Cold War against communism only to fall into the trap of beginning to take on the behaviors that we supposedly fought against them for.
Zuckerberg is just the vacuous knob head from his generation that ended up in charge of the successful social media company that now competes with the search engine companies for advertising and user manipulation revenue. There were any number of other social media companies that could have taken the crown, hello MySpace, Friends Reunited, Bebo, Yahoo, Twitter etc etc. He just got lucky that his bland mix of cat videos and moronic 'like buttons' came out on top. Young people generally regard Facebook as the land of old people so it will not last in its present form forever. The fact that every web site you visit has a shitty Facebook JavaScript running is where his future lies. So long as there are JavaScript blockers you can mostly ignore the twat. A media company it may be, but a successful media company I doubt for very much longer.
Because his musings are now generally only available on Forbes which is not accessible if you run ad blocking software. The link above is on another site though.
Actually China looks a lot more effective than the US at combating climate change long term. In the US it all depends on whether big oil has bought the government of the day. China makes all the solar pv cells for the world and has an actual plan.
Precisely. Engineering has been handling stuff that puny meat-sacks find terrifying since forever. Have you any idea how unutterably mindbogglingly insane the inside of the jet engine that takes you on holiday is? School perhaps should be teaching the science of exotic man-made technology rather than avoiding goto loops. I despair, maybe Trump and religious zealots should be taking decisions for all the snowflakes.
Most people retire on less than $500k so you are talking bullshit. You might want to rethink your assumption that all the idiots around you will continue to vote to kill themselves by voting for the end of the social safety net for the benefit of the 1%.
Given that Trump is about to use the NSA to get back at people who have argued with him over the years it is hardly surprising that people are getting out before he gets inaugurated.

Given friends like the current America most countries would do themselves a favor by finding someone else to be friends with.

These days I mostly watch YouTube lectures and have curated lists here https://www.youtube.com/channe...

Presumably it gives the NSA the same access to Linux activity that Windows 10 already does?
Ultimately this is why young people will avoid Facebook if they are not doing it already. It will become an echo chamber for the old.
