It's still an important piece of information, first because it disagrees with what we previously thought, second because there are fringe cases in which learning a language doesn't open you to anything else. I'm Spanish and l

I don't think it's surprising for that to happen on the transition to a smaller workforce. Rather than that, I am frankly amazed that the site largely works after firing 80% of its workforce. It's staggering.

You might be getting poor sleep and there are many reasons that might be happening. Then there is also depression or hormone problems. For me personally it tends to be caffeine preventing me from getting good sleep, which in turn makes me w

Research is currently being done and this is of course anecdotal (I mean, if it wasn't it would be proven treatment, wouldn't it?) That said, my depression was improved more by a couple of magic mushrooms trips than by more than a

I live in the Basque Country, where there is considerable effort put by the government to preserve Basque language and culture. It has always seemed like a losing battle to me. Basque people might speak more Basque, but they still see Netfl

Well there has been dire need of regulations for social media for years now. It does look pretty iffy when a really strong piece of regulation comes along, and what it does is screw the customers and protect the businesses.

The rise of the automobile did cause a whole lot of legal and social ramifications that ought to be a good warning. Drunk driving was legal for years, I think it's a good thing to be wary of how things can change and to be ready, as a

To your second point, that's just a testament of the failure of schooling. If anything, the only things kids learn are those that they still know after summer break, or better yet, a couple of years afterwards. The current model is bas
