Big countries such as the US, Russia and China are already difficult to manage due to their size. Won't that problem be exacerbated if you make one big country? Also, isn't it better to have split testing?

Nope. There are plenty of challenging problems that are not controversial, and disagreements can be dealt with amicably. You can have friendly opponents/competitors.

I'm not a DJ but there seem to be fairly neutral ways of starting a track that are much more involved than just a kick. Then again, I think people who skip EDM tracks are bound to do it anyway. A lot of people seem to listen to music j

The brain physically reaches maturity at around that age. From memory, the last place to finish development is the prefrontal cortex (where decision making occurs).

The OP primed you to read it robotically. I'll admit my sentences seem somewhat contrived though. I was delighted when I first read the short, punchy, and somewhat dislocated clauses of The Stranger by Camus. Actually, a more pertinent

I have a playlist system that is primarily controlled with 2 buttons - pause/resume and skip. No UI is needed. Tracks are automatically selected by their value combined with how little they have been played. The faster a track is skipp

What difference does it make? They are multiples of five. Are they okay to him? I doubt that is so. He dislikes chunks of five. He was not prescribing semicolons. That would still bother him.

Five word sentences are fine. The first paragraph is not; the content itself is dull. Do it with useful sentences.

In comparison to stricter languages, yes. English is far less prone to it than languages like Chinese though.

True. English has less redundancy to potentially clarify things. Yet it seems you have to go out of your way to find the edge cases. At any rate, Chinese grammar is far weaker.

All non-finite languages have edge cases like that, as far as I can see.

People are used to writing inoffensive fluff because more words means more money. I hope AI gets used a lot more, because it might actually push people to write concisely and take more risks.

In Mandarin there are so many titles, and even family friends can get them. I'm glad that in English we can just call someone by their first name (with a simple title if need be) and ignore all the awkwardness of not knowing someone&#x

Why can't they just include a visible warning in the software if it is not up to date? Many applications already do that. (I get it might take a little while to get the changes downstream).
