It is not a cookie-warning, it is a tracking-warning. It is not a question of cookies per se. You can use localStorage and other techniques to track users without using cookies. But you still have to show the warning if you are tracking. A

There have been a concerted effort to reframe the story because it remains so embarassing to the church. Yeah it is true Gallileo was arrogant and failed at playing the politicial game. He might have avoided the conflict if he had been bett

Probably all of it, if we extrapolate from the history of science. The theories we have now have replaced theories we now consoider wrong or less correct. No reason to think this will stop.

The name of the problem is obviously taken from the real game show, but the real show did not work like in the thought experiment. So you cant just apply game show logic. The “monty hall problem” (in the form stated in the article) is reall

It is logical for laying out text because if a text is larger than what fits on a screen, you want lines to be no wider than the viewport width and instead have the text expand vertically. So width is constrained by what is available but he

Actors get paid for their ability to draw an audience, which largely depends on the success of their previous work. Howard was a nobody, but probaly got paid a lot better for her next movie, since this movie was a success.
