I don't think that's really true. Google has had pretty serious privacy guards in place, where if you don't want Google to collect info on you (for advertising), they won't. Also, lots of people use other email services

I think it's fitting that the parent poster used supermarkets. They're a relatively recent thing and often seen as lower quality. In my country it's still relatively common for people to forage for mushrooms and berries in th

I think you're right in a sense. Expert-level guidance is helpful, but I think its main value is filling up the gaps of motivation. Take school as an example. You don't need a math teacher to learn math. Everything you learn in

The difference is that when you have a steady stream of political information you're more likely to pick up lies and misdirections. Politicians are pretty good at glossing over mistakes, especially if they happen over topics that aren&

But I think that's where learning begins. The most-likely point of failure in learning is motivation. Getting somebody interested with bite-sized information can bait a person to go further without them using up much motivation. You&#x

Then put it to a referendum. It's certainly an important enough protection considering that correspondence is usually constitutionally protected.

I've been nearsighted since I was a kid. My guess is that myopia isn't so much a disease, but rather your eyes becoming specialized in what you use them for. Lots of close range and dim environments (like indoor lighting) = eyes t

I actually had this dilemma when I last voted. I was deciding on who to vote for. I liked through all the political parties and picked one. I liked the overall party platform. I liked the first and second candidate in my district, but the t

I don't think any of them achieve anything. You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. It's easier to forcefully hydrate a horse (IV fluids) than to make someone learn. If they're deliberately missing

I really don't get how police officers have time for stuff like this. It just feels like a way to give police an opportunity to power trip.

I don't understand the problem. Of course kids should have their phones at school! But that doesn't mean that they should be allowed to use them during class. If kids are using their phone during class then you either confiscate t

We're definitely in some kind of next stage of urbanization where people are moving into the big cities even from smaller ones. It's very noticeable in the former Soviet states, but I believe it also happens elsewhere.

I can visualize algorithms but I have to do so deliberately. Unlike the parent poster I don't always think in internal monologues either. Sometimes it's a keyword/concept thing where I'll think of the main items and I ge

Perhaps in development, but the stuff that tends to make it into the release of games seems to be gameplay related. Npc behaviors not lining up, the developer literally not implementing certain stats in the game (looking at you, Diablo 4),

Sure, but to me it looks bad from the other perspective too if this is made into a problem. A person's natural voice is their voice and some celebrity should NOT be able to dictate how it is used.

This is one aspect that Tencent has done very well on. They've put a lot of money into various (western) game companies and those game companies don't seem to have flourishef with it. I can't really think of a western investo

I think the culture (not) allowing them to walk has a larger impact on this. I bet that if it was culturally ok then people (kids) would find a way to make it work. Kids take shortcuts through grass and wooded areas. They are so thoroughly

The default in Estonia is that when a kid starts school they go to school and come home on their own. School usually starts at 7 years old, but some kids start at 6 or 8. These days they might be taken to school by their parents, but they p

I don't know. I'm unsure whether scientists do either. Chances are that it wasn't really any different than it is now. The resurfacing means that the surface is new - many fewer impact craters.
