Yeah, that is true for now, but it's probably not going to work long term because of soil salinity. Some posit that the reason for the rise and fall of the various fertile crescent civilizations was due exactly to this. If you wanna kn

These 5k espresso machines (or a DYI project where you spend the equivalent in time) don't really make sense in a country where an average salary is 1.5k and the average coffee is 1.

I think Milan is easier than Rome. Milan might not be the administrative capital, but it's certainly richer, more tolerant and more international.

>How is this an "accomplishment for gender equity". Isn't this still inequity? I think the fact that the writer couldn't perceive how this is still, logically speaking, "inequity" speaks to the bias at play

You are never buying from Apple Books, it's the usual DRMed crap, more like a rental. Amazon had gotten a lot of flak, buy Apple is not any better in this respect...

> Are europeans responsible for the deaths and slavery in libya? Very much so, but as far as I can tell nobody cares enough. Just to give an example: in my city Ukrainian asylum seekers get free public transportation, whereas those who e

You can count those 63 towards our tally as well. Who domesticated and moved the cats around to begin with?

You can get lenses around -20 even from Zenni optical. They are pretty routine.

I don't think seeing live music is or should be a luxury... my teenage years were filled with free or cheap concerts and I'm very thankful for that. But then again I grew up in a large city in Europe, so that might skew my experie

That's not how you do the mean field approximation in practice. In your Hamiltonian you have N particles or nodes, which you send to infinity in the thermodynamic limit. In the mean field approximation you are just letting everybody in

To be fair the mean field, or infinite dimensional version of a lattice system is fairly easy to visualize, because it's just the complete graph.

I might have been wrong. I found the French, Italian and Belgian law that generalize this, but no EU directive (with a cursory search).

Note that contraflow lanes are a European directive for all places with a speed limit of 30 km/h. I'm Paris they just started marking them. If you are in a street where it's too narrow to safely overtake a bike without them c

It is possible to cycle with less effort than walking, even with a bike with no electrical assist, what I was saying is that you don't need to exert yourself. Maybe you consider that being a pariah, but that's how in cities like

Bullshit: a city designed around bikes is a city designed around wheelchairs. Not to mention asthma never prevented anyone from cycling. Maybe you won't win the Tour, but you can definitely commute cycling with asthma if your city is d

AC might be comparatively more efficient at cooling the room 1 degree rather than 5, that doesn't mean that keeping that temperature for 8 hours will consume less energy than cooling it once you come back in. If it were really overall

Not sure I agree De Sica's Sciuscià (Shoeshine) won a Honorary Academy Award in 1947, which then became the Academy Award for the Best Foreign Language Film. In other words it was so influential that it ended up defining its own catego

I know you're probably joking, but for those out of the loop, the result your parent was referring to is that more verbose languages have faster speakers and the two effects compensate one another pretty well. https://www.sc

Yeah, those nephew were often illegitimate sons, but that just goes to prove that forced celibacy has never worked.

A small caveat: nepotism was the practice when cardinals (who were celibate) would push their nephews into positions of power. So, strictly speaking, it is the other way around: celibacy caused nepotism, otherwise we would have had filism (

Kinda like a toll booth would make you susceptible to the same thing on the bridge. The problem with both of those schemes is that there are a number of exceptions: people who live in the region, people who spend the night in the city... Yo

For anyone reading this and thinking of planning a trip to Venice in February, be aware that the Carnival often is in February and that's one of the busiest times...

I don't think the parking is gonna make much of a difference, as you can just park on the mainland and take one of the very frequent, cheap, and quick trains over the bridge.

As an Italian, I know that very well. In my country the high school system very much reflects the socio-economic class of the parents and this separation was designed during fascism and left pretty much unchanged. When I said "European

Yeah, but that's not how things work in reality. There is a large number of studies on the positive effects of integration in education, from more extreme cases such as not having special schools for disabled children to the more munda
