Wow I didn't know anything about Piero Scaruffi apart from his music reviews. I also always assumed he lived in Italy. Take a tour of his website it's really impressive!

It's funny you should mention translations as different: when Umberto Eco translated Queneau's Exercises in Style he had to rewrite more than a few. Many would consider all translations of that book as rewritings, new exercises. S

Does that mean we would live shorter lifespans than other apes without medicine, sanitation (and all the other stuff the Romans did for us)? I remember something about the metabolic rate being tied to lifespan.

The problem right now is: if I am in Italy and I send an SMS to a French phone (regardless of where it actually is) I spend 30 cents as this is not regulated in any way by the roaming laws. On the other hand if I'm roaming and I send a

Well given that writing a blog post is a form of advertising, this could just be an add-on for existing adblockers. We could just use NLP to eliminate plugs from all corporate and personal blogs. I can already see a future where forbes issu

It's weird, I remember reading a very informative article about SAT from American Scientist when I was an undergrad: http://sjcomp.com/files/compsci9703.html I will have to reread it to see if it still makes sense

Why is it strange and concerning? Given the tragic history of race and the way it still informs the way people think about race, it's really unsurprising it's still a delicate matter. Think about how the 'one-drop rule'

Yay for Italy! Where not only software developers are paid less than the general population, but also where the real wages of everyone are very low compared to the cost of living of other European countries!

You can probably get to 80% accuracy in Italian just using the last letter. If it's A it's most likely a female, if it's O a man. Counterexamples among the 50 most common male names given in 2014 are: Andrea 2.46%
