This is always done. Studies of American college students to prove some sort of universal rule about human psychology. There’s embarrassing papers that get published in every field but social sciences is where they always try and put a mora

Good shout. Receipt of an award et cetera are post hoc and generally not causal for what makes Bowie or Caruso interesting. Its orthogonal to art.

Most of your comment I agree with, if Visa has this power they should be using it against people involved in human trafficking. But: > which presumably don't feature real human beings I don't really care. As soon as you've

Agree that Visa shouldn't have the power but the fact is,this isn't it. The civil liberties guys always jump in one too early to defend the guys who want to fuck kids. Slippery slope arguments are fallacious. I am ready to destroy

Payments companies successfully got valve to stop purveying weapons grade incest/child-porn/rape themed smut that is barely a game? Nabokov was a great author and Lolita was the work of a great author who turned his pen/typew

If what it depends on is the language then thats trivial.

If you could get the same partner with more capabilities and less wear and tear with all important information transferred into the new one every year it sounds pretty appealing. I have bought two phones since 2010

Enshittification is an amazing thing. That's the great thing about open source. Apple's moves here will pay off in the short term but over the long term this kind of behaviour can only drive away more people.

If plants moved faster we would be absolutely terrified of them.

The roadworks during my youth were endless. It was maddening. Never occurred to me that it could have all been telcos.

You say 90s but sounds suspiciously like John Scully and Apple in the 80s

Progressively banning plastics from various applications would certainly help.

Then SAP, SUSE, odoo, Canonical, Elastic, Jetbrains appear in the next 10. Europe is not in a strong position in hardware (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and that would take a long time to get closer. But it’s fundamentally because the EU has until re

I am unsure if tablets offer anything better than paper so long as what kids carry is very deliberately kept light.

I think I have a similar mental world to the author (with important differences) but will say a few things: - My lack of memories of my late mother has left me with untold grief in a way the passing of my grandparents did not. - Mental heal

So I read your comment before following the link and drew a bicycle perfectly. I find it absolutely inconceivable that someone could be unable to draw a bicycle in Liverpool or a similar city. I am not sure this is related to what OP is tal

Mm, we live in such a world of words that they are often the default method of communication we use but there are so many more symbols available and even non symbolic ways to communicate. Sonics is so much wider than language and music but

For non-associativity what is the best way to order operations? Is there an optimal order for precision whereby more similar values are added/multiplied first? EDIT: I am now reading Goldberg 1991 Double edit: Kahan Summation formula.

Sure but the real problem is that we don’t know how to deal with bad quality of life for those suffering the effects of senescence and we have a society that is only just starting to come to grips with the perils of the sedentary lifestyle
