Regarding your first point, I find that if I am writing I need to change my work location every few weeks (or sometimes even more often). I become acclimated to the location and I become more prone to slacking off/day dreaming. Something th

It seems like there are two conditions that must be met for something to be a lie: there must be a falsehood and that falsehood must be presented with the intent to deceive. Hyperbole, exaggeration and sarcasm may, strictly speaking, be fal

I'm not sure why this is surprising. There are already articles on most every topic that I tend to search for, at the very least there is usually a stub. Getting all of the long tail will take some time, but it won't require many new articl

When considering the Marmite yeast extract product, in the UK x is somewhat above 50. In the US, x is well below 50. Similar values of x probably apply to Vegemite between Australia and the US.

Again, I make no claims about whether this program actually works just that it is clearly not as trivial as the broken window example. However, if you believe that tax cuts work, then I see no reason why this sort of rebate wouldn't work,

In this case, however, the cars are not only being destroyed (the broken window part) but money is also being injected into the economy via the rebate. Now, I make no claims about whether or not putting money in the economy in this way is a

If you really believe that the A/B parameter space and the C/D parameter space interact with each other, then yes, you could get stuck in a local minimum. So in that case you should test all combinations simultaneously. However, it will tak

I'm not going as far as to claim that aggregators should quote whole works entire. Far from it. I'm merely claiming that a compilation (of links, or quotes, or what have you) is editorial in nature in-and-of-itself. And I am certainly not

Aggregators certainly can add value. The aggregator makes a choice of which articles to include vs which to omit. This is an editorial decision. This in turn allows readers to find content of interest to them without having to hunt for it t

Thanks for the link! I just figured it would use the simplest solution that could get the job done. I don't know how important measuring foot slip/ground contact is for quadrupedal locomotion or how well it can be approximated by measuring

I wouldn't be surprised if it uses neither. My guess would be it has encoders to know the state of the joint angles (so, a type of proprioception) but probably not for foot contact. If someone has a reference to some technical details, thou

An alternative is to buy locally produced food, which often is also organic. It may have a shorter shelf life, but it's sitting on your shelf most of that time, not on the shelf at the grocers waiting to be bought.

This is an interesting example. I'd argue that if Be had not abandoned the Mac market they might have had a better fate than to be merely bought by, ironically, Palm!
