10 spectacular Darwin Awards of the medieval age The Darwin Awards are annual and don't concern themselves with historical (ig)noble sacrifices. Let's correct that injustice.
The Darwin Awards were created in the 1980s to honor those individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect humanity’s gene pool. That is, they died in such an extraordinarily idiotic manner that their deaths actually significantly raised the quality of the DNA passed on to the next generation – as per Charles Darwin’s theories on natural selection. But the Darwin Awards are annual, only concerning themselves with candidates who have expired within the last year. This leaves a vast array of figures throughout history who have gone unrecognized for their (ig)noble sacrifice. This hardly seems fair. Of course, there’s a lot of history to cover, so in the interests…

Why pediatric medicine is turning to telemedicine and what that means for your education Coronavirus only hastened the existing trend.
When a parent needs their child to be seen by a pediatric medicine expert as part a preventative health plan, a rigid set of steps are generally followed. After filling out questionnaires, presenting insurance information, and submitting a financial affidavit, a parent can finally get to the point of selecting a date and time for their child to be seen. In normal circumstances, this is often the most challenging part of the entire process. Parents have to consider how far they must travel, make arrangements to get off of work, and many times, have their child miss school. And depending on the popularity of that medical expert, there might only…

YouTube’s most demented science projects (top 15) The age of the lone inventor tinkering away in his own backyard is far from over—but this stuff is barely legal.
Most innovation these days is conducted by large teams of scientists and engineers in well-funded labs, but it pays to remember that many of the inventions that make modern life possible started out in much humbler circumstances – from the Wright brothers’ bicycle workshop to the kitchen stovetop where Charles Goodyear first made vulcanized rubber. But don’t think the age of the lone inventor working away in his own backyard is over completely. To find proof of this, you need look no further than YouTube. There are all sorts of creations on there that are imaginative, ingenious, and complex. And very, very dangerous. While you might stare open mouthed in…

7 scandals PornHub doesn’t want you to know about PornHub believes itself above all laws—including those against child pornography. No wonder 946k people have signed to shut it down.
With approximately 120 million daily visitors, Pornhub has enjoyed its status as the world’s most popular destination for pornography online, but a barrage of recent scandals threatens to draw the eyes of lawmakers to clamp down on the site’s ability (or rather, inability) to moderate its content for illegality. The latest scandal stems from reports that one of the site’s top “performers,” Ellesclub, was underage. Her content was fully monetized by Pornhub. In the last few months, Pornhub has been hit by several shocking cases of sex trafficking and underage content, prompting activists like Laila Mickelwait to establish the Traffickinghub campaign to hold the site and its executives accountable for…

What is a smart home hub (and do you need one)? One hub to rule all the devices.
Remember the inscription that was engraved on Sauron’s ring in The Lord of the Rings? It went something like this: “one ring to rule them all, One ring to find them… and bind them.” What does this quote signify? Singular control and unlimited power for the bearer, right? Coincidentally, a smart home hub works like this as well. It detects the presence of multiple smart devices in a house, forms a connection with them, and acts as a central point of command for you to easily manage everything at once. Whether it is the automated lighting in the other room, the smart sprinklers in the garden, the AI-enabled audio system…
