Beautiful. An interesting tidbit some here may like: for some birds, their songs carry over genetically. As a result, there are no dialects in the same sense as described in this page. The most famous example (at least in the Americas) is P

Wow, love this! Could even match with a language I am actively learning so it helps that as well!

I would even suspect Carney would want to eventually be the head of the EU (he also has European citizenship)

Still, it’s a very good approximation but still an approximation to the more ergonomic and expressive tidyverse syntax

I am a big fan of the Duck team since before their v1.0 and I am happy for them personally for the big payoff, both in monetary terms but also in terms of scale and longer-term viability of their baby. I am also happy to see the arrangement

Now a question daunted on me. Assuming away strategies like store-and-decrypt-later-in-a-quantum-future, could a MITM really eavesdrop, as in, aren’t such ARPA-routed phone calls encrypted?

Interesting. So is this GrapheneOS indeed operationally good for keeping one‘s data private?

I enjoyed reading this much more than anything I read here recently. In particular I like how it absolutely shows that somethings just… fall through the cracks!

Not all - it is very likely this large Amazonian civilization perished before the Iberian colonists arrived in the region. For example, these geoglyphs mapped in the (super interesting!) paper are dated 2k years before the Europeans first a

Those interested in this discussion might enjoy familiarising themselves with the concept of social capital, and in particular, with Robert Putnam’s work to understand and to promote it.

I miss that network discovery as well, as well as the quasi-random element to it. Nowadays I get my kicks by searching for, say, Albanian rock (I don‘t speak Albanian), whatever was trending in Indonesia (I am not from there), who is the na

Could be related to the light spectrum. Kindles aren't really "screen" like the others; they do have background light but you can turn it off and use it with its paper-like screen (which is what I do and really like it). But

That movie is so fun and intelligent and heartfelt, pure Mel Brooks genius

I’m surprised it’s just sixty. I don’t think anyone, not the least consumers, wants AI used upstream of themselves.

Beautiful text. By the way, I can't thank enough the maintainers at ctext.org. What a beautiful work they do.

I signed up for Apple’s subscription which includes Apple Music. We are a Spotify family, but I then cancelled our premium subscription to avoid duplicate spending. I embraced Apple Music with an open heart in spite of the reservation from

I suspect this is to mitigate perverse incentives for countries to avoid reporting outbreaks and collaborating with the WHO for fear of tanking their economy

That a serious number? By the way, how does a hardware normie like me even measure this?

I think it is also more than that. In car-centric places like Brazil or the US, older people essentially need to drive or be driven around to have a social life. In pedestrian friendly cities like many in Europe, it is very common to see ol

Hi, economist focused on monetary policy/inflation here! That data would make for a cool empirical paper that could help central banks and other economists better understand price dynamics around a significant shock. Are you interested

What a treasure indeed! I just didn‘t understand why this particular site had so well-preserved soft tissue fossils? I assume it is probably related to the geology of the site during formation of the fossils, and probably the researchers th

Curious about how exactly does Kyndryl (or Solvinity for that matter) plan to monitize citizen data.

Any recommendations / lessons learned when building this? I would love to give it a go for Brazil if one doesn't already exist around the time of my holidays in June/July.

Unfortunately I had the same impression. Or the comment on Anna Du's looks. Otherwise great reporting that, even in an informal substack piece, lose the shine with these types of aggressive comments. The content speaks for itself and i

Not "behavioural economics", but rather a very small number of rotten apples.

Not only that, but in tandem the collapse of social capital in the US has been the result of a very intentional process (on top of the multidecade undercurrent of declining social capital). This according to Robert Putnam himself (sorry, do

Yeah the car always seemed (to humble me) to be so… un-Apple. As in, the iphone was a success because of its aesthetics but also it solved a real problem, while creating a whole new market. But in the case of cars, cars are the problem.

I have one such mac. Things I like: the keyboard feels smooth, the speakers are great and the touchbar (yes you read correctly). Things that make me partially agree with this post I am responding to: annoying overheating, including when I p
