Genuine question: is there any evidence that "Asia's obsession with face" has actual impact on daily business, or is it really just a cliché?

You are right regarding Yahgan being an agglutinative language and that words like 'mamihlapinatapai' is a result of that. But -- apologies for being nit-picky -- your example does not fit that category. The German word 'Kuge

You can observe this very well in Germany. You have many cities that were destroyed during World War 2, and rebuilt around the car. You can compare them to the cities that were built before, and not destroyed. Nowadays, the latter are typic

Not arguing against the political failures, but mind that the impressions of "several family members" do not yield figures reliable for any conclusions.

This seems to be exactly what ChatGPT is good at: present static knowledge from a given text corpus in a linguistically fluent manner. The full ChatGPT does that for "the internet" as it was on training time (2021). One of its dis

I feel like these click-baity titles have finally reached a state in which they work inversely for me. I have recently noticed that I would never click on something that promises "X things you must know" because I have finally int

As suggested by others, I would also recommend going one step further and turn this into a proper experiment, e.g.: - systematically record how often this happens, in contrast to other ads, and for each of the reason topics - record for eac

Apart from the superpowers, there were also significant political forces that were supporting democracy and social justice. On the other hand, both USA and USSR actively (and succesfully) fought them. I don't see any sense in calling e

Which makes the problem even worse. Are you supposed to have comparison rules per provider then? Only for those that are large enough to bother in your particular use case?

Societal value does not equal central planning. I understand what you were implicitly referring to (Soviet-style "socialism"), and I agree it can serve as a negative example at best. I think the real dichotomy is societal (long-te

I somewhat agree in principle. At the same time, the (implied) promise of the big providers like AWS and GCP is to provide everything needed for a reliable service while saving the time for setting it all up yourself. If you need multiple p

You can call it ideological bias, but I think it comes down to everything that is related to humans and society, not only sex. Human sexuality implies psychology, which is linked to mass psychology and hence society. A study that excludes t

Impressive! I'm genuinely curious: Where do you host the index and the DB, and how do you finance it? Hosting an index of that size on AWS is not cheap, and maintaining the server infrastructure yourself seems quite some effort.

Given the lack of data, you might as well assume that you are not so special, and hence part of a statistically significant group. I see the claim that nobody cares about democracy as another piece of right-wing propaganda.
