As a college student, sometimes I don't buy cheese, or I buy $3 gouda, or $6 gouda. arguably any money spent on cheese is an extravagence, one that could wait for my career. But, I spend money on things that are enjoyable, and I spen

"observation" isn't important, it's enough interaction to decohere the superposition, or in another sense, entangle it with the environment. A polarization filter could be considered an "observer" in some sense

8% of income is significant for almost everyone. It could be easy for someone living on a lot less to assume that a marginal 20k doesn't matter to "rich people", but lifestyle inflation and regional cost of living difference

Twitter controls a platform that they profit from. They have a clear responsibility to make their platform harder to abuse. We can't simplify the "victim" as simply Twitter itself, we must (as you did) consider the other vict

absolutely. I haven't done a lot of digging with this, I'd be very curious to see the google frame in person. Eventual color E-Ink or other display technologies may make this an easier problem, though it theoretically just needs

With the availability of affordable 4k screens, I think there's a real opportunity to get a service like this for cheap. I think high resolution (and a matte screen) are key for appreciating art. A square ratio might be ideal to disp

"no longer be regionalized" implies greater but not absolute homogeneity to me. There will likely still be variation, but it won't be associated to different countries or continents as it is now.

I'd be interested to read and talk about an article on Allen Ginsburg's work, I don't think his actions should disqualify any discussion around him.

sorry for the late reply, my answer might reveal a philosophical difference between our points of view, but I'd ask: would the desperate person be better with a job that covers some of their expenses or no job that coverers none of the

Gig economy apps being criticized or even sued is not evidence they are bad. *I don't personally like them, but no doubt there are workers that like their jobs at doordash or uber--> not everyone doing those jobs is doing them out o

from a photography standpoint, Jacob Riis is one of the most interesting characters in the field. He committed one of the cardinal sins of photojournalism: many of his photographs were lies, with staged subjects. He spent effort to make th

The overall height, especially of the hood is also really important for the pedestrian's chances. if a sedan hits you, ideally you can roll over the top. if a truck or suv with enough size hits you, you go under it.

The x390 comes with a 13.3 inch display, as opposed to the previous 12.5 inch screens, but it's just 4mm longer and 7mm wider than the x290. They reduced the bezels on the screen to gain the majority of the new screen real estate, so t

Most of Sony's fe zooms are around the same weight (with some small benefits at wider angles) as an equivalent canikon lens, but it's the wide angle primes that you'll get a big size and weight benefit over full frame glass.

This needs a citation. There was a lot of people spinning polls or making bad predictions off polls in 2016 (like every election year), but polls are not fake news. They certainly weren't proven to be fake news just because some people
