> Isn't "measurement" just an interaction of one physical system with another? We don't have an accepted theory on what "measurement" is in Quantum Mechanics yet.

It's a bit above £9000 a year but everyone gets a student loan guaranteed, same with some level of means tested maintenance loan. This means that it's usually a "free" upfront cost to go to uni, however you eventually ha

It definitely depends how you smoke imo, and probably your predisposition to it. I have tobacco in joints, and I don't smoke weed that much, and I also smoke cigarettes on rare occasions, e.g. on MDMA. I've probably smoked about 1

Who said they disdain native apps? They simply believe that web apps have/will continue to take over. You aren't going to get back native applications for every product just because you prefer it or that to you it is better. There

It's 2021, people really aren't using the App Store like they used to, imo mainly due to the insane rise of subscription based applications for things as small as calculator apps

Those are not productivity applications, they are all tailored to specific purposes. The only one that I can say might be considered a productivity application is text editors/IDEs, but even then it's tenuous. No one is going to c

honestly 1 3 and 4 used to be true, but I haven't felt that here in a while. Nowadays there are way more crackpots and conspiracy theorists here than I'm comfortable with

How do we know how much of it is mental capacity? Obviously we wouldn't have been able to do these things without hands for example, and we can't really communicate with animals in a direct sense, so it's not easy to judge th

That wasn't a thing here at all. We didn't have any zero tolerance policies and suing a school in the UK was unheard of.

I agree, it's weird how quickly it has changed. I went to school almost exactly from 2000 to early 2010s and I saw it change before my eyes. Quite literally we were the exact school year (grade) where physical abuse became much less to

Recently I've been learning German and one of the examples was "Hier darf man nicht rauchen" (Here one may not smoke) and it has a note after "NB: Not pretentious in German". I found that quite interesting

Yes it's a left vs right issue here. This interpretation will seem very biased, since I am very left wing, but it really is this way: The left see benefits or welfare as a right, and as a very important way to help people who have foun

Yes, there is a huge sentiment among the conservative public in the UK that people should not use benefits to gain capital or for social mobility. This isn't just a policy issue, it does come along with a commonly held attitude.

Slowly adding more features to the web, a system really not designed for those features, seems to have been the only way to get a really cross platform application ecosystem. Very weird for it to happen through this random technology, but o

And since our gut flora influences our mind so much, and since our mind influences our body so much (see the physical effects of stress), we can't really consider what _happens_ to our body to be separate from our mind either. If our

Do you have any evidence to suspect such a thing will happen? I think it is much more likely that the "ghost in the shell" kind of idea will be seen as much more antiquated, and that it will be widely accepted that the body, mind,

It drives me crazy when people get so upset over any kind of comment too. Why not take it literally? That's a totally valid interpretation of the writing. Also, it's entirely your perception that it is "hounding any joy and m

Generally in Physics we eventually reach some kind of consensus on the most accurate theory, however as far as I can tell there are multiple competing theories of Quantum Gravity. Similar to how the interpretation of QM is unsolved because

There's a lot of interesting stuff here, but none of it has really been settled on by the wider Physics community. It certainly is a huge area of continuing research and debate.
