I'm Italian, but I live in Germany and my language is set to English on all my devices and software. I haven't lived in Italy for about a decade, but I created my Google account when I was still in Italy. To this day YouTube will

I have a fairly keyboard centric workflow as well, and I didn't notice this until a few months ago I got a laptop with a US keyboard. Suddenly all those key bindings and symbols made sense, or at least were somewhat reachable without c

I can't speak for American schools, but in Germany we were taught little of what happened after 1945, so I wouldn't be surprised if the situation in the US would be similar. It's a shame, I would have loved to learn more abou

That calculation is correct if you assume that by "boil water" they mean to bring the water to 100°C (which is what you'd use a kettle for usually). However to go from liquid water to water vapor you need to add even more ene

Another factor might be that actually kidnapping and torturing someone is a very intense thing to do. I don't think a lot of people in the crypto space would have the stomach to do this (and that's a good thing!).

I guess all intervals are sets (they are a collection of numbers after all) but not all sets are intervals. Any mathematicians here to tell me if I just said something stupid?

Thank you for the clear explanation! Pretty sure we talked about open and closed intervals in my first week of undergrad but as a mechanical engineer we stopped there and never took a look at the more general concept.

Here's an interesting one: "this set is open, hence it is not closed". Apparently this is wrong, and R is both open and closed. Does anyone have a clear explanation as to why this is or what this means? I can't quite und

Does anyone with knowledge about volcanoes have context on how big this is? Clearly not small, but is this a once-in-a-decade or a once-in-a-lifetime size explosion? Are there any well-known eruptions to compare it to (e.g. Mount St. Helens

I'm wondering if they're subsidized, but the price in Germany at the supermarket hovers around 1€ each. I was really surprised to hear that these are not a thing in the US, any idea why?

Probably not the kind of law you were thinking of, but articles 1 (protecting human dignity) and 20 (enshrining the principles of democracy and rule of law) of the German constitution can not be changed or repealed.

Never worked in the states so I'm not sure if things are different there, and I guess I'm misunderstanding something here, but are you saying that there are no contracts between most employers and employees? There must be somethin

Even if it was true that software engineers that don't work for FAANGs can't develop something complex (I doubt that's true, I'm sure there's plenty of skilled software engineers working at Lockheed Martin), FAANGs

As someone who's never been in an American school, what does algebra entail in the US curriculum usually? Is this the first time "solve for x" is introduced? How broad is the amount of teaching that happens in algebra?

Not to diminish the accomplishments shown there, but that plane seats maybe a dozen people? Most airliners can seat 100+, and their range is sometimes an order of magnitude higher than that. The problem is that batteries are significantly l

My first thought was that comments in many online spaces, including youtube, can simply be mean. If I was responsible for the online presence of a course I wouldn't want my lecturers to have to deal with random people commenting on the

A lot of people get the idea that Italy is poor and only running on tourism and olive oil from popular media, but it's actually a complex economy with lots of high tech exports. The biggest exports are medical and engineering products[

How long have you lived in Italy? If you were born there it seems that three years of stay are enough to qualify for citizenship: https://www.inps.it/pages/standard/51985 Though I'm guessing you've proba

I think they meant ten times the average income, i.e. 240.000€, which sounds about right to me, obviously going higher near big cities.

I'd just like to point out that raising 6 kids is very much hard work, even if you're a bad parent I find it hard to describe it as no work at all.
