   uBlock Origin needs to be on the list. It doesn't make remote work or school better, specifically, but it makes the whole web great (again).

   Agreed. Also, if respirators don't work, how come there isn't a mass infection among doctors treating COVID-19 patients worldwide?

   Indeed, you are correct. Spectral efficiency is, essentially, how "well" those 5 kHz are being used. It doesn't have anything to do with the center frequency (500 kHz in this example).

   I agree. However, this pandemic has proven that JIT leads to outages when part of the supply chain is suddenly disrupted by external forces. On the other hand, what production system wouldn't have been hit (as hard?) by the corona viru

    Interested, but won't subscribe without listening to at least one episode to get an idea of the content, quality etc. Is there a way to listen to the first (few) episodes as a trial?

    At $600 per year (1978 dollars, two semesters), inflation correction puts it at about $2400 per year in 2020 dollars. That's on the high end of what domestic students pay in Europe today for a full-time bachelor or master degree progra

    Frankfurter Allgemeine reports seem to agree with your statements and also see 1-2 week timeframe for further negotiations. Strange that BI somehow has the scoop. https://m.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/lufthansa-erha

    Great discussion, I agree with inopinatus who, if I am not mistaken, supports my position that the science is not quite out on this topic yet. Many explanations exist, none seem to be all-encompassing. That being said, it doesn't answe

    The results in the "Brain Studies" section is based on a single 2011 study [1]. I just skimmed the study and the results are very underwhelming. Figure 1 shows the correlation between political attitude and size of specific part

    My hunch is that the science is not quite out on it yet and that the intuitive explanations are not accurate. For example, see "Some recent developments in bicycle dynamics" (2007). Especially the folklore section: "The world

    Let me give an analogy and then a solution to your paradox. Temperature. Sometimes you read that it's a measure of warmth; sometimes cold. Aren't hot and cold opposites? Yes, hot and cold are opposites, but in a way they give the

    No, there is no intuitive way to communicate it. The theorem has taken >350 years to prove, which makes it clear that the proof is not some intuition that was somehow missed by hundreds of people for centuries. Fermat's Last Theorem

    Maybe the blog of Prof. Matthew Green of JHU is of use. Specifically, the two-part series about zero-knowledge proofs. Part II discusses non-interactive ZK proofs. Part I is really required to grasp the extension to non-interactive ZKP&#x27
