By that token, Europe should have gone to war with the US for spying on its very leaders — Angela Merkel, François Hollande, etc. (The Snowden revelations and the aftermath). I honestly don't see how the US could spin anything positi

Let me share this thought experiment. - most companies are really bad at security - most people do not care about the security of their data, passwords, etc. Based on these facts, I've been operating for a decade now under the assumpti

This has been true since the days of desktop computers, too (when laptop wasn't even an option). Gaming specs always make for simply great all-around machines — largely due to component specialization indeed, including thermal outtake.

That's a great point. I read the book and indeed, there's something of that dichotomy between what he calls "system 1" and "system 2". System-2 is the very thorough, conscious thought; the visual or otherwise p

You just made me realize that we might all "skip the words" when we have internalized a concept. Case in point for me: math. For instance these days I'm working on geometric modelling, and when I see a wedge (exterior product

Same here, my French got relegated to the back of my mind, English took over (that was of my own volition first, to learn best, but then it became habit). Sometimes I revert to writing in French; it takes a little time like bicycle to come

You make me wonder if language regions of the brain get activated when we "talk to ourselves" in the same way as when we talk to others. Edit: I love a downvote as much as the next guy, but if you're a neuroscientist who know

I think this could help. 1. The point is not to "do what you love", but to "love what you do". Trying to do what you love is destined to fail quickly: there's always something else, there's always a part of the

Well, you sound like you've really got the ideal approach, just about the best business model IMHO for that kind of endeavor. Hope it goes really well . I would just encourage you to allow yourself to make enough margin to not just

I agree with the sentiment, but it's logically redundant since you cannot possibly “monter en bas”, so you should really just say “je monte” . In context, everybody knows if you're talking about the elevator or a horse (right?),

This is precisely one of the assumptions that I am, humbly, questioning. It's more complex than that. Are the French so unlike all their governments and regimes? Are Americans that much unlike their leaders and political system? Is any

I didn't know I was old already at 37, but when I was young, the word societal was not even related to social: literally pertains to society , which without further qualification is the general group of "all of us" — whereas

by K0SM0S 7y ago
“Au jour d'aujourd'hui” is most definitely bad grammar, or at bad least style, and thus I'm pretty sure it's wrong in the eyes of linguists, the Académie Française, etc. But I'm sure the French are not the only

I would just like to point out that this is exactly, almost word for word and certainly in spirit, how anti-Americanism is expressed e.g. in Europe (where I grew up, born 1982). It's crossing a line where one's ethnocentrism paint

Respectfully, I think you are making a "classic" mistake in demographics — one of the most counter-intuitive discipline I ever studied. One TL;DR is that averages give you very, very, very partial information — without at least a
