No, I think it works pretty well if practiced uni-laterally. There are two sides to NVC: speaking and listening. Even if the other side in a conversation lacks motivation or skills to talk non-violently, NVC gives you a perspective to int

Thanks for the link. As that seems very relevant to the discussion, let me add some context: This is Mochizuki's answer to the recent criticism titled "Report On Discussions, Held During The Period March 15 – 20, 2018, Concerning

I think people are overestimating the merit of normal bicycle helmets. I think the actual effect is something like this ([1]): > The most reliable estimates indicate that at speeds of up to 20 km/h helmets reduce the risk of head i

I think the breakthrough is how AlphaZero combines reinforcement learning with Monte Carlo Tree search [1]. * evaluate a position by playing lots of random games until the end using "likely" moves (in their order of likelihood).

If you want to use the RTG to power thrusters, then I'd think that doing the "detour" via a stirling engine to create electrical current to turn into thrust might be unnecessary. There must be some way to directly turn radioa

No, I think the 42% tax-rate is kind of a differential: i.e. any additional EUR you get is taxed by 42%, but the euros below 52,882 € are taxed by less. Running the tax calculator here: http://www.brutto-netto-rechner.info/
