Norstrilia I absultely second. Actually, all of Cordwainer Smith is worth a read, but stories set in The Instrumentality of Mankind certainly are. The culture novels by Iain M. Banks are also amazing, ship names in particular, but also them

For now you can still try noai.duckduckgo.com - not sure it will stay, but it still works.

Try Mapy. Outperforms Google maps any day.

I don't follow your reasoning re. statistical sample size. The topic article claims that 45% of the answers were wrong. If - with a vastly greater sample size - the answers were "only" (let's say) 20% wrong, that's

This!! That was exactly my first thought when reading the headline, together with fond thoughts of Squornshallows Zeta. I was really surprised to have to scroll this far down to see a Hitchhiker's Guide reference. I mean, the joke basi

I can recommend Mapy. You can download maps per country, state and even region, so not overly much storage space used. Route planning and navigating offline - it even let's you plan tours based on kilometers and/or time (this is p

If you like jewel heists, maybe particularly in the Louvre, I recommend the French mini series Lupin - I thought it very well made: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupin_(French_TV_series)

CEPR is yet another leftist (less vaguely than CEIP) U. S. American think tank with the same attributes as CEIP (donors, location etc.) So, more U. S. centrism with a heavy focus on Vox News. Might just as well read Vox. JIIA is the only on

There is an excellent documentary about cats in Istanbul: Kedi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kedi_(2016_film) . A full version of the movie can be found on YouTube premium.

you want to use more brainpower, hop over to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and read one of their long articles. In particular they have a great set of articles on US policy thinking around China right now. It's pretty

I've been using Hacki, the app (yes, I know) on mobile which adds a couple of features like separating the comment, upvote, flag etc. functions into a separate swipe-right menu and, more to your point: dark mode. It's a great exp

This seems both a) vague and b) based on a sample size of n=1. 85% of all visual artists in the U. S. make less than 25k/year [0]. Also, don't forget that most artists work in companies (again: visual art), like making story board

I completely agree with what you wrote. There is this, though: I don't need to know shit about plumbing, about electricity, about carpentry, or any one of dozens of specializations utterly crucial to my ongoing existence in this world

This! In my experience it started well before 2018 that we left QA and ISO 25010 behind and I had to specialise in performance optimising software and hardware. By 2018 we were well downhill in terms of sheer number of bugs and perpetual e

Thank you for that link - I actually didn't find it. In my defense, I was at the dentist's and in a lot of pain, so no Google-fu left. The preconditions are: 1. find at least 7 people who sign up for running this campaign with m

I agree but couldn't find information on how to do this on the EU websites; they are such a confusing mess. That said, if you can point me to a how-to I'll gladly initiate it.

Yes, it does. Partly at least. It documents what rules/guidelines were violated, when and how often. In terms of transparency that's miles above reddit. I have also seen dang and Tomhow (?) repeatedly call out users for violating

John Oliver did an In-depth analysis complete with sources in his latest Last Week Tonight. It's titled Netanyahu. Go, watch it, it is illuminating.

So, you take the results on their calculations, divorcing them completely from the preconditions and all variables;not to mentioned outdated data - and we should take this as the base of our future argument?

You linked the same study for 5 times in this thread - you still misrepresent it's focus. The study concerns itself with the influence of social acceptance and how that reflects on the cost and efficiency of 'going green'.

I skimmed the study you linked. It has a focus on the social aspects of renewable energy, namely would the population react with acceptance or resistance (or varying degrees thereof ) and is divided into the corresponding scenarios which in

This sounded interesting, so I went and read a few articles. It seems, dies come in 5 categories: bronze, brass, steel, teflon coated (various bases) and plastic [0]. The bronze (and even brass) are uncoated and don't seem to lose mate

Why should a LGBTQ+ geologist not talk about LGBTQ+ stuff. That makes no sense. Scientists are human, they have the same attributes as other humans, sex and politics among them.

Maybe not bots, but the Musk fanclub is certainly awake and trolling.
