I suspect that a lot of this form of cultural subtlety is designed to be hard on purpose. This allows individuals to show off and spar on a fairly harmless linguistic level - "he is so suave, she conveys her meaning just so" etc.

Depends what kind of people you need. For innovation you generally need exceptional people, and the probability of finding such a person is proportional to the total number of people available.

Or even worse, they load all the passengers into a bus and... just leave them there for an hour or so. And of course the buses are packed with most passengers standing.

Talking to some older Czechs who experienced the system, perhaps teaching people … anything at all would prove superior. Apparently the worst thing about it was the complete disrespect for people’s time and talent.

Reminds me a bit of the “Power of the Powerless” by Václav Havel.

In my country the norm is for tips to be rounding based rather than percentage. So if your bill is 327.5, you would pay 350, effectively a "keep the change" sort of gesture. I have certainly starred them in the eye and waited for

Because it makes the reactive model work - and work quite efficiently. Cells don't re-run just because of edits, but also if the reader interacts with any of the interactive inputs.

Exactly. The idea that pornography has to be available to anyone regardless of age/maturity at any time and for any reason is insane. I suspect that a lot of the (mostly judicial) lawmaking in this area did not foresee the internet and

And very very importantly, this is taking the death ages of kings (i.e. people who lived long enough to actually become monarchs) compared to life expectancy at birth (i.e. people who lived long enough to be born). Given that until roughly

However I think it would remove the case of the bit outright making up non-existent stuff. It could still always be just plain wrong, but in a more human sort of way. A real support person may be wrong about some precise detail of what they

Seems to me that a good rule of thumb in the replication crisis in Psychology was that if an articles claim seemed kind of “obvious” (where you would like the OP almost wonder why they bothered researching it), then the experiment would rep

That's not how European courts have been interpreting it. When they say "free consent" they do mean free as in beer, so a "consent or loose your job" provisions would almost certainly be thrown out.

I would worry about the correlation isn't causation in the above statement. Having less kids making you richer seems just as, if not more, plausible of an explanation (among other possibilities).

I think it's still valid to have a distinction between travel logistics and having a route that's at least theoretically possible. I suppose what they've calculated would work with a star gate like system, but then I'm n

But that presumably doesn't handle the relative motion of the stars, which makes the problem even trickier, since the distances will change as you travel, no? Or is my astronomy off base here?

I think the other angle is a deeper question of why are you reading/viewing/listening to any particular piece? For some content, say summer blockbusters the answer may just be that it is moderately entertaining way to spend some t

Good luck riding your fast horse through most urban areas (and parking it... er stabling it). All of those things were routine in urban areas before car adoption (I believe Manhattan for instance often had stables in upper floors, leading t

Isn't the meaning of a config file always dependent on the application you are configuring?

by gampleman 2y ago
I think you missed the "typeless" idea. That basically means every value is a string and so it's up for the application to parse and validate.

But then that's an argument against lifetime licenses and not about ejectable servers. You could run an ejectable server with other funding models. For instance, you pay yearly subscription and get updates within that year, but you get
