It's a big deal to other people. That is all that matters.

That lovely harmonious structure where lions kill cubs because they want to impregnate the mother, where bugs literally stab-rape others to procreate and where animals regularly die of hunger because the predator-prey cycle is at a predator

Everyone wonders whether to quit or break up sometimes. That of course doesn't mean you should do so. The title is miseading. The first line of second paragraph states that data was collected on people that were 'deeply unsure&#x2

You know.. dividing is like breaking something up [..] No. What it is 'like' is totally irrelevant and actively harmful to consider if you want to be able to get anything serious done with your programming language. This i

So according to you, 0*0 = 0, thus 0/0 = 0?

If Monty would open the door where the car is, the decision whether to switch wouldn't be much of a gamble and there wouldn't be much entertainment in this part of the game show . So of course Monty knows where the car is. There

Don't sweeten the deal. With the regular odds, after 12 games you will only be ahead ~61% of the time. You have to play a larger number of games to be relatively sure you win and the other accepts they must be wrong. The number of game

We don't know the samples in the article are representative of the feedback. In fact, I would expect the authors to cherry pick the feedback for entertainment purposes. I believe the OP is right, but providing uncontroversial evidence

Why do you believe there is no sequence of events that could end with an ice cube in the middle of a sun? One scenario I would not rule out is a large icy comet moving at large speed straight for a sun. Is there no combination of size and s

Good article, but I don't understand why the word 'inclusive' is in the title.

I’m not sure. I know the bioavailability of magnesium citrate is much better than that of magnesium oxide, due to the bad solubility in water of the latter (and supplements with magnesium oxide are thus next to useless). That suggests Mg io

Some folks in the anti-aging community are taking it daily, not because they have trouble sleeping, but exactly because there seem to be a number of small health benefits of taking melaton8n that are not mediated by better sleeping.

Are you sure? It’s sold in every drug store in the Netherlands. I usually buy 500 tablets of 0.1 mg each.

Magnesium is important, many people are deficient, supplementation is cheap and supplementation is very unlikely to cause harm (as long as you keep it to max 300 mg of elemental Mg (e.g. 2g of magnesium citrate) a day). Like with vitamin D,

In cases such as these fines are usually determined based on the estimated profits, exactly to ensure deterrence.

You are right; I hadn't realized BackBlaze was also offering cloud storage and thought this was about their backup product.

Which means every customer suffers data loss They suffer partial backup loss. The customer only suffers data loss if they lost their 'master' copy of the data as well during the outage. Iff they don't have a second

That’s not because you’re mathematically illiterate (though that may be true), but because it’s a bad title.

There's no need to lay the blame at 'culture' and 'society'. The problem is that you only need a thousand assholes in the million that read your story to cause major problems. Even in the most amazing culture and so

A piece of advice often given to people is "don't be the smartest person in your team", because then you don't have anyone to learn from. I think that advice is wrong, because: 1) there are many different skills you can

Some people wouldn't be able to do it and it would be good for them to think about this and realize it, but I hope you don't seriously believe that /humanity/ wouldn't be be able to do it. That vastly underestimates

Humans can't perceive a lot of things More things than any other organism. Already more than most organisms using our biological sense organs. Our sight and hearing are pretty good, even by animal standards. But then we develop

I wonder whether this means we should not expect any more performance improvements on a < Java 10 JVM. That would be good to know, as that influences what I can expect for code running at a place that just upgraded to Java 8 and probably

Allowing yourself to be dragged into the same argument over and over again, because some people are just not listening (creationism, flat earthers, moon hoax believers, ...) is a waste of time. Publicly reminding the readers about the major

Is your buddy one of the very few beating the market or is he one of the many with clients who would be better of just tracking the S&P 500? Because if the latter, he is just as much of a clown, just one whose strategies by accident hap

That’s a sensible first level response. But you need to continue thinking. A first response hardly ever cuts it. Criticize your responses. See other responses for the result.
