I wonder if much of it is not being corrected because it simply isn't important enough? Like the example of "think about a professor before an exam to get higher scores". I suspect that if for example some medication against

What is everybody using for piracy these days?

Isn't there some kind of regulation for that? Where I used to live there were only a fixed amount of street performers allowed, and licenses were given out on a daily basis very early in the morning (or so I have heard).

public transport isn't that broken, I get around quite well. The water supply things seems to be mainly a battle of ideologies, again my water supply works fine atm. Presumably the tech companies will at least pay taxes and alleviate t

Can't open the article right now, but here is one question I have that might fit: hasn't Sillicon Valley actually started in the middle of nowhere? These days the saying is to go there because that is where the investors with the

I'm always slumping and I am 40. Pretty tall, too. Surprised that I don't have a lot of back pain - sometimes I wonder if the slumping has saved me...

Absolutely - although in the case of beer maybe you'd also lose a few people by not offering beer.

But then, if you don't like it, why work there? Personally I hate ties. I hope I'll never have to work at a place where I'd be forced to wear a tie. Yet I am not calling for all offices to ban ties.

Beer doesn't rape people. People do. I think if somebody wants to have beer in their office, they should be free to do so. If they want to smoke in their office, the same (not sure if this is still legal, though) - I just would like to

Dumb question: does changing the image on the screen actually change the output of blue light? I was kind of under the impression it was a result of the light source. For example I think neon light is actually greenish and it is just the hu

I don't understand what you are saying? Is the headline or the article wrong?

He was not harassing her, she just had an unpleasant conversation with him (from the sounds of it). If that is reason enough to out somebody on the internet as a sexual predator, I'm sorry, but that's way over the top.

Actually, yes. And if I read something for entertainment, I don't tell other people they should read it.

I must admit I read the article (wired, not the paper), but I don't get the point at all. The relevance to my life appears (hopefully) to be zero.

It seems only a matter of time until the data base leaks, and I wonder how valuable that information might be. Could it be used to find matches for organ donation, for example (with subsequent accidents happen to matching donors)? I know, v

I don't understand that story. Why did she let it happen? I'm sorry for what was done to her, but there seem to be a lot of misunderstanding and misguided assumptions that led to the mistake. She doesn't seem to be aware that

The time lost to commuting is also time where you don't meet other people, and don't exercise. Things like that also factor into the result, and you might not even be aware that you are missing out. Although to be fair, most peopl

"Plan a trip – but don't take one" Advice like that makes me doubt the science a bit. As well as the famous result that people are happier without children. It's certainly interesting to measure such things and ponder wh

I don't understand how people can go on pointing at the suicides when it is well known that suicide rates are lower at Foxconn than the average Chinese suicide rates?

"One student, for example, majored in finance and accounting but has been assigned to a job that entails glueing together parts of Sony’s Playstation 4...." Am I the only one who thinks that sounds great? Why shouldn't financ

Depends how you define it - in a way, you can. There is a book called "The Luck Factor" that explores that scientifically (by Wiseman). I liked it. You can of course not change the odds of rolling a 6 if you roll one dice. But you

You characterized it as egalitarianism, which could be characterized as 50:50 distribution. In any case I think you should quantify your "demands", or else how can they ever be satisfied? It is not obvious to me why it is unfair i

Well you didn't answer what exactly is meant by egalitarian. 50:50 male and female workers in every profession? Or what exactly? As I said, if "egalitarian" means 50:50 male and female workers, then the same people pushing fo

The crucial question is why can women cope with low paying jobs, and men can't. I think the notion that the father in a family should usually be the main breadwinner has a lot to do with that. Women have the privilege to be able to c

I'd argue those are pretty niche. I certainly wouldn't focus on browser development unless I worked for one of the three or four big browser vendors. Text editors have been moved onto the web, and probably more and more text editi

I honestly don't understand what you mean. Where did I supposedly argue against fairness and equality?
