Sometimes though, silence is the best option.

Another way to say it: "If what you want to say is not nicer than silence... STFU"

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

It's like a computer that skipped over programming languages, object orientation, and all the stuff that we do with computers, and went straight to AI.
It had quite a while to get good at it.

Without it, how would FB get data from the users to sell it afterwards?

Types are not tests. Type systems are not tests. Type checking is not testing. In case arguing about data types is your type of thing

Like spicy food? If so, you might live longer, say researchers at the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, who found that consumption of hot red chili peppers is associated with a 13 percent reduction in total mortality - primarily in deaths due to heart disease or stroke—in a large prospective study. So, say 'yes' to that curry
Yes, I know not all curries are hot. No need to 'inform' me.

Any idea where I can buy ghost peppers? I've years of neglect to reverse and I'm not a patient man.

Yes, I'm thoroughly convinced my colon tumor wasn't cancerous because I'm a regular consumer of red pepper... Have been since 5 years old.

Every statistician, epidemiologist, and the like should be legally required to get a tattoo in a publicly visible place reading Correlation is NOT causation. The font size should be no smaller than 48 points.
That may eliminate some of the more stupid "studies" that are published (but I'm not optimistic).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Cheery robots may give people the creeps and serious robots may actually ease anxiety depending on how users perceive the robot''s role in their lives, according to an international team of researchers. "All the doors in this spaceship have a cheerful and sunny disposition. It is their pleasure to open for you, and their satisfaction to close again with the knowledge of a job well done."

And once you've gone through the door, you can have some toast.

A team of researchers from universities across the US has identified different fingerprinting techniques that can track users when they use different browsers installed on the same machine. "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"

Quote: different browsers on the same PC
Hmpf. The ads industry will surely be excited: there are some companies on the market claiming that they can identify users across different devices. Already since a few years. Well, this is university research...
