Generically referring to the Misuse of Statistics doesn't really add something to the discussion though. Is there a specific critique of the statistics regarding texting while driving?

I think the problem with music is that there is no "objectively good" music composition. It remains entirely subjective and all criteria that are used to differentiate between "bad" and "good" albums are highly

Yes, now that you say it it's pretty obvious.

Actually one could argue that the sentence structure resembles ADD symptoms in a way.

I understand your point but don't you think there needs to be some middleground between not offering any follow-up at all and arguing endlessly about the decision? If you send an Email with some reasons, you're not required to spe

A prominent example of this is the Treaty establishing the European Union where every single one of the 20+ language versions is "Canon" and has to be used by the European Court of Justice. There are often judgements with paragrap

German might be grammatically inconsistent but regarding spelling it's highly regular at least compared to English.

Actually I would say it's the opposite: if there are some upvotes on a post such as this, I'm very much inclined to find out why an obscure Wikipedia article has made it to the front page. Some weeks ago someone else actually desc

What do you mean by "politics"?

I think it's mostly just an interesting collection of state relations. For example you can compare the difference between two EU member states with similar "passport power" and figure out why one country has free access to Mo

Your prediction has already turned out to be true in the IMO terrifying twitter comments to this very article ("climate science is pseudoscience" etc) https://twitter.com/Reuters/status/114106168149536358

Didn't the Indian election just happen a few months ago? So if this was just a PR thing wouldn't it have been better to do it just before the election and not right afterwards?

Yes you are correct. You are allowed to use the Lichthupe (or the normal horn as well) _once_ when indicating that you are going to overtake. But that's only for situations on single lane roads where there is already enough space to ov

Of course, that's what Google is basically. You search for something and they show an ad related to that. And those ads are not random but related to your search. Or am I not getting some joke?

Sorry to be a bit harsh but those are a lot of strange claims. The Fed comes very close to a government entity in that its board is nominated by the government and confirmed by the Senate. It is not made up of corporate banks and is definit

I don't think that's true. The money is not destroyed, it is instead transferred to the government and can be used for various purposes. Of course you could argue that the government could theoretically decide to arbitraly print m

But tort law does exist, right? So if somebody purposefully spills boiling hot coffee over you, you will be able to sue them. The claims are just less outrageous than in the US because there are no punitive damages for example.

He claims that he could proof his assumptions if he were to be published in a journal but I think it would be very strange if somebody published his "research". He is not a sociologist and this is clearly not his area of expertise

But isn't the primary point of the canaries to give people the information that the government has been requesting some sort of information? A secondary point would be that this might prevent the government from doing so in the first p

Actually being interested in skinhead bands might also have a legitimate scientific intention when studying political extremism. Intention and interest are very difficult to distinguish.

I think it's fascinating that you don't understand what is meant by that sentence. I'm a native german speaker and would probably not make that mistake but I can't imagine somebody not understanding the combination of th
