It's not my advice, I know that for many many people it does not work. I'm just saying that's how I understand it and for me it does work. It is hard to imagine it is fundamentally impossible for most, but it might well be.

Oh wow, it must be insane to be co-author to the emperor ! From the outside it's a weird juxtaposion of a traditional, old (from a European point of view) system of state and an everyday modern way of conducting scientific research. Y

People might have to learn how to listen. Many modern diets don't really give kids an opportunity to experience different things. How can you know what your body wants if you never had the chance to try? It is a question of being expos

After I ran my head against math for some time and actually noticed changes to my mind structure, I am sceptical. Studying math is not (just) about the knowledge you gain, it is about the reasoning structure behind it, like a workout for th

What would help is to develop a material that is just as good as plastic (or better), degrades easily and is cheaper as well, and then wait for them to copy. Germany basically did this for solar energy.

I think combining it with some sort of code escrow could work. Keep it secret while you support it, if you go bust or stop support the source enters public domain.

How do you handle it somewhere else? It can only get worse. In the city I have the shops around and a lot of transport options (bike, bus, tram, walk, carsharing..) or I can order it online, or, gasp , ask any of my 20 neighbours. Elsewher

One thing that tends to trip me up is people's different abilities to parse graphics and texts. Physicists are so used to looking at plots most of us are really good at interpreting them. But this is a hard-earned skill. If I talk to t

A smaller German city. There are a lot of buildings of that age around, but I suspect most of them have been profoundly renovated. (If you do that they're worth serious money.) This one seems to have undergone one upgrade (installation

I'm confused. The uncooked rice I buy in the store is harder than the wheat grains I occasionally eat from a field. (It takes a while to chew and makes a glue-like substance that is quite tasty when you're hungry.) Is this a new d

Around 1900 is actually a difficult time because that is when they installed gas lines everywhere. The house I just moved in has outlets everywhere to hang your gas lanterns, including ceiling hooks (but no electricity at the ceiling). The

Being faster in transporting people and things makes you better at wars and more prosperous in peacetimes (you can actually get fruit to the market before they spoil!). I don't think it's a simple matter of taste.

To be honest, some red lights are just pointless for cyclists. One example are pedestrian crossings with no pedestrian in sight, another are very small crossings (maybe even at night) where you can see anyone coming half a mile away, with n

In our area mosquitos are killed on purpose, by poisoning their main breeding areas when they are still in the water. (And I am just finding out that this is done by a sanctioned non-profit organisation.) Maybe something similar is done in

Soon your robot will call their robot and they'll sort everything out without pesky human interference. Is anyone working on this? Give it a script and an objective and test it against robot and human callcenters..
