I'm also left handed and don't usually have a problem with scissors, unless they're bad quality scissors. I also use the mouse with my right hand and I'm always surprised by how many left-handers actually ended up using

Yeah, I feel this was taught to me in primary school or something.

I started using it in the last couple of days after reading this and I find it amazing. It's limited in the sense that it may lack templates and a lot of other things, but it's so easy to code for it, that I expect the community w

Might still be pretty limited, but I've been looking for something with a more modern syntax for years, and this seems a good candidate! Thanks for sharing. Of course it will take years to replace LaTeX, but we need to begin working on

I'm also an Italian who taught himself how to code at 16 (I'm now 34), although not even remotely at your level. Then I studied physics, did a PhD, a postdoc about neural networks, etc., but I felt that what mattered to me the mos

I should not have said "becomes famous for...". I meant that today , his name is mostly associated with that, when people talk about him.

If a guy becomes famous almost exclusively for having a beef with someone else (and this someone else really doesn't need to beat any drum in order to be famous), then something is wrong. Basically these days this is what Schmidhuber i

I teach in a high school that is very humanities-focused (and the students explicitly want that, they chose it). I realized statistics was not taught, and I introduced a module on it for my classes. I thought it was insane to do three chapt

I had a wonderful trip in Thailand last year by doing two things: 1. roadtripping: I rented a motorcycle and chose a (relatively touristy) destination, but enjoyed the trip to get there over several days, during which I designed my own itin

Also "dismantled". Presumably those countries gave their arsenals to Russia.

I think you misread my comment.

Hopefully you don't have to be a Buddhist for that. Also I don't really see the advantage compared to sterilization.

You should not be relying on an interview for evidence anyway. I am no expert and I have no opinion one way or another. But you shouldn't have preconceived opinions either. Look for scientific literature if you're interested.

Because the kind of drug use you're thinking of means addiction to a substance (one that typically numbs you or makes you feel unnaturally happy). Here he's discussing about people improving their condition after a single dose.

Did I say that Switzerland is in the EU? It is in the Schengen agreement (which managed by the EU and part of EU law, but also extends to other countries).

The EU has two separate provisions: - The Schengen agreement, i.e. no border controls between countries - The fundamental right to free movement for citizens of the EU. There are countries where Schengen applies (you can go without visa or

Typically, I believe that sufficient welfare and prosperity are what reduces corruption and crime, not the other way around.

When I first learned about Jevons Paradox, I thought of what a colleague once told me: "I believe that low-power neuromorphic chips is one way computational neuroscience can help use less fossil fuels by reducing the power consumption

I remember reading an article on how movies and TV today are not quite able to make meaningful and interesting sex scenes that are actually well made and add to the story. I think this was specifically for western movies. But I can't

This is a cool idea, but I wish we didn't call everything that is bike-friendly "Dutch". There are many towns and city centres that are good for cycling and walking, across Europe and beyond.

I was just thinking of language deprivation experiments [1], and I realized that Nicaraguan Sign Language is like a real-world experiment of that kind. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_deprivation_experimen...

People think in different ways and have different levels of education. We would never learn if we weren't allowed to ask silly questions. It is very important not to discourage people from asking them.

Considering we're talking differences of about 3 hours max, there's hardly the space for ambiguity.

For hayfever, different kinds of solutions exist: "vaccines" can help in severe cases; antihistamine pills are the main solution, but I found that some don't work for me and others do: you should ask a doctor and try another

You don't seem to have read the article, since it gives the very relevant example of a recovering addict having to take the train to get methadone. > Nobody can't not afford public transport in EU This is a ridiculous take and

Wouldn't this depend on location and source? I used to live in Scotland, where sheep graze on grass in fields that don't really take away space for vegetables (unless you want to survive on potatoes and cabbage), and they're

It's very weird. Mostly, it's only a few minutes of international news, about the latest G20 or the war in Ukraine, with a focus on what the Japanese government does in relation to it.
