That's fiction, not history.

I dont understand what you're trying to convey. I like history but someone almost discovering something holds no appeal for me; what actually happened does. And these people were not interested in the course in the first place.

The explanation is fine by itself, however Le Notre did the Versailles gardens and they look good and are in harmony with their surroundings. The Louvre pyramid is ugly and is in disharmony, which defeats the purpose of architecture. The ex

You make it sound like a dichotomy when there is none. Not believing the truth does not mean inventing lies. It does not even go that far as to be able to use the words "truth" and "belief". Research into such topics sho

And sometimes with good reason. If someone comes up with evidence based research that, say, blacks are less intelligent than whites, should that be supported? Science does not exist in a vacuum.

Playing the devil's advocate here a little bit. We dont know the whole story. Perhaps he was not good at the job GM hired him for, perhaps he didnt get along with people, perhaps it was just as GM says, a blind restructuring. Things li

He talks about John McPhee, who has written a lot about diverse topics and also about writing as an art and process. The latter is interesting, if perhaps a tad overwrought and obsessive; the former is all over the place. In that the amount

Yes, and the headline writer knows this. If the title was "Orcas Make Great White Sharks Flee in Fear", most of us would have nodded and moved on. To be fair, that was an interesting article, clickbait title notwithstanding.

She did what she thought was justice, and I agree it is. I did not detect any sarcasm in her post, and it's better because of it.

What Three Words always seemed like a stupid idea to me. Not much thinking beyond: Locations need bits, English words have bits, Let's use one for the other. Addresses already work. Cellphones have GPS. It seems like an idea for a prob

I have used Uber from a browser from my laptop. It works but not quite as well. I couldnt tip, and it refused a valid credit card once with some weird error message. So I wouldnt recommend the non-app versions if you're pressed for tim

His gist is Dvorak is faster than Qwerty only because touch typing is faster than hunt and peck. He cannot touch type in Qwerty so he has no grounds to make any claim as to their relative merits at all, and the only reason he seems to hav

With due respect, who is "we" and what are you talking about? The book does not as much as mention a homogeneous coordinate and uses 2-arrays for 2D vectors.

Business travellers typically have a contract thru their employer with the hotel that covers the wifi. They almost never pay for wifi as an additional charge. The wifi charge is because these business type hotels attract few people who wo

One reason for WW1 is Germany wanted to be a colonial power, quickly, didnt have much success except in Africa on the back of a couple of genocides, then they got themselves into a naval race with Britain that they couldnt win. Sort of a vi

Yeah that was my first thought. If they were honest they would compare the numbers from a different year before Brexit. For every 10 companies leaving in 2018 if only one did in 2014, then sure you can say Brexit is causing a large outflux.

This has several transcribing errors. For example "of the Mud" should be "oh the Mud"; Leg is written instead of Garment once, which makes Leg both neuter and feminine. http://twain.lib.virginia.edu/huckf

Firstly, two of the Vancouver criteria are silly. The third doesnt make sense. Most gradute students in my experience do not have the authority to approve the published version. Does this mean grad students cant be paper authors? They&#x2

This kinda sounds like objectivist kool aid. I should do what I can to make sure Zuck succeeds? I do not want to live in such a, er, utopia. Current state of progress is just fine.

Funding is simple. It's all about experience and prior use. Funders fund what they did before, what the fundees did before, and did they use up the funds from last time.

I could not disagree more with your first line. For one it's utter fantasy. For tech talks where you need to present results, sometimes results dont arrive until the morning of. Secondly, there should be a measure of proaction - gauge
