Yes, this is true in the UK (at least amongst people who know the difference between an electric motor and an ICE)

I recently went to an interview where I was asked some specifics where the real-life answer is "I'd Google and have and answer in 30 seconds". I'm very curious as to whether this will be held against me... But they also

Ah, I see. I thought the idea might be to replace windows completely, like on the fridge doors of some supermarkets.

by JR1427 2y ago
I don't think this would make looking out of (or at) the window as enjoyable as with a normal transparent window. Unless you mean that there would still be a normal window, too?

I don't have sources off the top of my head, but I think there is good evidence that wind farms (and other large structures!) can disrupt migration routes, which can pose very large challenges for birds. So where to put wind farms to m

There is also a difference between "understanding" and "understanding and being practiced" at something. In the real world is not necessarily important to be able to rattle off information off the top of your head. More

But you can usually take apart (at least a few times) modern flatpack furniture, making it easier to transport.

I wonder if an interview process more like academic science would help. It usually goes like this: Candidates are roughly screened by their CV. A handful (in my experience roughly 6) are invited to hang out at the lab for most of the day. T

It's worth pointing out that there are all kinds or reasons why competent people may perform poorly at a given interview.

What?! You mean 3d printing is not always the right answer? Shocking!

In my opinion these are absolutely not prerequisites. I built many things at my desk or the kitchen table in our flat with very simple tools. Even a single Swiss Army knife can be used to achieve a lot. And you don't need a lot of time

I just can't help but pick up projects, and these really keep me going. I suppose I crave satisfaction much more than relaxation. I find it very hard to relax by just chilling on a beach, or reading a book in the afternoon. I just want

Oh, the way people sometimes talk about it, I really thought it must be some amazing feeling, and I'd definitely know if I'd experienced it! I'm slightly disappointed now.

I'm still waiting to experience what this "flow" is... I would say the reason I get stuff done is because I don't wait to develop flow. Instead I try and use what I call "micro-progress", where you try and iden

Thank you so much! I didn't know about the X, as I don't see it in the android app, which I use 99pct of the time. Just used desktop to hide those awful shorts for 30 blessed days!

Like someone else has mentioned, I can imagine that this will spawn new trends in videos to get people to pause. I dislike youtube shorts, and wish I could just not see them. I really hate that a lot of short creators have very packed short

My company has enforced frequent updates of browsers and other software set up, so we are relaunching apps very often, and this drives me crazy. It feels like someone is walking over to your desk and moving everything around, just to annoy

I guess that in the UK this has been the case for a while? We just got 1600GBP back from British Airways for a flight delayed by 24hrs.

On a similar note, I've often wondered what the optimum amount of exercise is if you don't like exercise, but want to maximise your time not exercising.

I think nicotine can also suppress UC, so smoking rates might also be a factor.

There could still be a link between the nervous system and IBD, too. When I was diagnosed with UC, the inflammation perfectly correlated with a portion of the colon that was connected to a particular nerve (I can remember which - it was a f

My PhD was in an area where we often thought about diffusion of biological molecules, and my boss lent me "Random Walks in Biology", by Howard C Berg [1]. It is very readable and has just the right amount of maths. Just mentioning

Just to chime in here, I don't think that the complexity of life is a clincher for existence of God. I don't think that humans are in a very good position to judge the complexity of things. A more intelligent creature might think
