   I find that claim very confusing. If anything my experience with "humanities people" has been that they object greatly to any standardized interpretations of art and have huge issues with the cut-and-dried "analysis" tau

   Yes but most of their holidays are still tied to the lunar calendar, so they will still be happening with the same relative frequency and the same number of days between them.

   > I'm not sure why they're losing holidays - wouldn't those just follow under different Gregorian days, like Easter does? If you're referring to the "extra 11 days", it doesn't have anything to do with

   I agree that you shouldn't assume any information will necessarily improve performance, but I feel that, naively, inter-car communication would have tons of useful applications. If anything else, during the transition to fully-automate

   CityLabs manufactures specific product lines that aren't special-built.[1] The price is still "contact us" but they are purchaseable and I've heard of a few popping up on marketplaces before. [1] - http://www.

   You could be referring to either ranking system here, so I just want to clarify for people not familiar with BGG: A 7.0 average rating is fairly good, though it's hard to factor out bias with a low number of rankings (this game has 4

    I don't avoid "debate" because I fear disagreement or attacks. I avoid "debate" because so often when I enter one, the person engaging with me immediately employs ad hominem attacks or strawmen or appeals to emotion

    Perhaps? I'm not sure what you're alluding to. Regardless, startups are often attuned to many social issues much more closely than traditional companies, and I can't help but agree that this is a huge discouragement for forwa

    Yeah the magnetic bit is the one part that does survive for me. Don't get me wrong, the cords are shit and constantly frayed, detached, or overheated on me, but I sure miss MagSafe now that I've left Apple products.

    Is there any reason to connect subsea methane releases to this kind of sound, or any human-audible sound? I was under the impression it gradual dissolution (where "gradual" is not to diminish its geologic speed).

    This just makes me realize that it's gonna be really confusing when Node.js V8 is released! Joking aside, I wonder if there are any internal plans on keeping terminology clear for the next version?

    I dunno -- it was visually apparent to me immediately when I opened the page. I thought it was maybe a deliberate "dotted-line" effect at first.

    So do you feel Pittsburgh is more similar to New York than Chicago? I've always felt that PGH seemed more culturally similar to the great lakes cities (it is traditionally part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis[1]) than to the east coast

    I would've killed for this in grad school. At the time (well still, with the exclusion of this device), there weren't any eReaders with good PDF support, especially for technical documents with nontrivial typesetting.

    Interesting to see the scientific pursuits of someone I only know through music! Gentle Mystics is worth checking out -- it's a wild blend of some sort of alternative electro swing with influences of gypsy jazz, hip hop, and chiptune.

    After the stunning success of Pandemic: Legacy, I would have said SeaFall is the most-hyped game of 2016, but hype is subjective. Scythe does a really great job of blending euro-style resource mechanics within a strong amero-style theme&#x2

    No, correctness is determined by usage, and Zikes is identifying that the usage has a fairly long history. One could say the same things about starting a sentence with "so", or using "agree" backwards (the original sense

    Perhaps I was particularly sensitive to it because it matched my internal models. Here's the way I break it down: In classical/antiquated grammar, most sentences can be divided into a subject and a predicate. The predicate indicat
