No, because those direct voting means that all people can make an educated decision on a topic. But a politicians job is exactly to free us from this work. Nobody wants to constantly mingle with politics when they can rather watch a movie o

But the epistomology of a word does not determine its meaning. Otherwise the art versus craft debate would be difficult to apply with its original meanings.

Research as taught in my Masters has generally broken away from the big general quantitative research in values. It is seen as banal results from banal questions. Trust is an important part of culture and therefore has to be interpreted in

If they can't do the acoustics right, this is the solution. But the focus should be to push good architectural design. Which is lacking almost everywhere.

One of the main points is really the alcohol. As all of my friends were not drinking, I also stopped to drink so much, that amounts to just on very special occasions. Also the aspect of friendliness. What I have to recalculate the reactions

I feel you. I came back to Europe, but staying so long in an Asian country changed me already. Now it's sometimes really hard to reintegrate. Also because of the cultural stigma that was attached. And I am already thinking in terms of

The rules of logic are applied in philosophy for sure. That's the discipline that came up with the concept.

The gist of this article is misleading. Instead of forgetting, one should be ruthlessly open, but also meta about memory. There is a relatively new historical research area, that shows how important historical events are remembered, not wha

Recommending books seems to be not in fashion. I read some during the pregnancy of my wife. They were helpful. The most helpful one that I am using right now is unfortunately in German. It is really good, but with no translation (Largo, Bab

Thanks! spaCy seems to be really easy to use, but CoreNLP still yields better results, cf. http://nlp.stanford.edu:8080/corenlp/process

This is great thanks! I had a few weeks ago the problem of not being able to get a passive verb parser in CoreNLP fast enough to work. Does SpaCy support reduced passives?

This is also wrong. You just have to switch what to produce and to whom. There are many starving people in the world, and quite a lot new medicals to invent and so on.

This is the typical principle agent problem, it depends of the ownership of the company. If it is privately hold, then savings make sense and you have to optimize for sustainability, i.e. otherwise your private savings are nilified. But if

As an MA student of intercultural management I have to disagree on several points. In general this text is what cultural scientists call ethno-centric, assuming a priority of one culture over another. But culture is just one solution to a s

There is also the Software AG (Revenue: €1.120 billion (2010)) … From my experience the software is very much swallowed up by SAP and the culture of hiring for the rest consulting companies which markets customizing for additional software.

Just an anecdote, I speak French with native proficiency and while I can see the emotional detachment in languages as English, in French it is certainly not there. So I think it also depends on language immersion.

Yes, it is strange. I am a native German speaker, but my thoughts are strongly dependent on what I am thinking about. As I am reading most of the CS or philosophy books in English they are naturally thought of in English. Family and so on i

Thanks, I was not aware of spreeder. But after trying it the ergonomics of spritz are improved, eg. the red letter really focuses. In the case of 7 Speed Reading, it is much more lean.

Larry Wall designed Perl from a linguistic perspective. But I think it didn't make so much of a difference.
