Quite the opposite, it's really simple. Trigger warnings do not belong into lectures. If you can't bear to hear the material you do not belong anywhere near an university. Safe spaces are areas created by fascist people who want t

I uninstalled WhatsApp the moment it was bought by facebook. It's so obvious that facebook corrupts this fantastic company/chat application.

It's funny that you compare ADHD to cancer. You can see a cancerous growth. You can feel it. There are tests for it. Criteria for ADHD are completely symptom-based. There is no infecting agent, no parasite, no detectable chemical poiso

This is a great point and I'll probably have to do some performance measurements and change parts of my code now. I should be more careful with sacrificing contiguous storage for O(1) insertions. It is also worth noting that some manua

It's ironic. At the same time that doctors perform this incredible feat, we are going back to the dark ages: People's bodies are completely destroyed by bacterial infections. I presume because of antibiotics immunity.

Who would have thought that feeling bad about something is a warning system. It's just like physical pain, it's emotional pain. Pain acts as a regularizer of the learning functions that the brain optimizes.

Unfortunately, despite what this article says, there is a choice between fighting cancer or not: The best way to give up is stopping to eat (which probably isn't that hard if things like chemotherapy and severe illness pretty much re

This is beautiful work and a very nice paper, especially for an undergrad.

Why should romantic relationships kill ambition? In my experience, it's the exact opposite. It is very common that people make their best works when they are in love. Of course, if ambitions get in the way of the relationship, that is

I love this! I feel so uncomfortable cycling on main roads, knowing that if the person behind the wheel of the x-ton vehicle beside me does one small mistake, I end up paralyzed or dead. The bicycle is a really great means of transport that

The rise of social 'science' is equal to the demise of intellectual rigour and common sense. The sad part is that social science could be done right, but few do it right because most people who don't suck at statistics go for

I have had absolutely no training in how sickness benefits work. I don’t know what happens when I send a claim to be processed, so I can’t answer any questions about what will happen next or when somebody will get a payment. How about you

Haha, that's kinda cute. Does the author of this piece volunteer as a host for the worms?

but socialized medicine has been tried in dozens of countries, and the price and efficiency outcomes you predicted have not happened in any of them This is factually wrong. In countries where such a socialization has happened, a vast incr

Yeah, we humans are so good at making animals extinct. I can't believe we haven't done that with human-biting mosquitoes (or other nasties) a long time ago. It is time to do that; nature will find a way without the buggers.

Nonsense. Most cases of people going to the doctor are not immediately lethal. Broken bones, large skin lesions, rashes and the flu, back pain and tooth aches. With all of these things, it is really nice to go to the doctor, but you don&#x2

I skimmed the article and I have to say, I am not convinced at all. Decentralization can be achieved without causing situations like prisoner's dilemma. Look at Torrent for example, it works without a central authority enforcing things

Yeah, with the batteries becoming so powerful, I sometimes feel uneasy about having the equivalent of a hand grenade on my lap and the equivalent of a potent firework right by my ear as I make phone calls.

The public funds things that result in private profits all the time. I.e. education, roads, etc. It's not really outrageous. It's the state's duty to provide a platform for its people to excel.

PHP has been to me and continues to be the most stable platform to build websites upon. Development and deployment are extremely simple, it is rich in functionality and if you know what you're doing, you can write just as reliable and

The sprints are based on the linear time difference between 0 and 100 meter. That's too bad, and here I thought they would precisely simulate the nonlinear aspects that make the competition so interesting.

Oh, so it's my privilege if some parents fuck up at telling their kids how important education is and mine didn't? What a strange way to reason. Everyone complains about privilege but nobody takes responsibility for mistakes. Th
