In the picture in OP I doesn't seem to like like that. Maybe the picture is not clear or resized? Edit: I googled as well, and got the same results as you did.

Am I correct that it doesn't say "ad" or "sponsored" at all? Is that even legal (in some countries)?

It's not just ruining the web, it's essentially dishonesty. Or if you are a pragmatist: lying.

It was a typo, I acknowledged it, and made a joke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

True, thanks. But in this case it was a fortunate fluke. Their queue is probably pretty long and unresolved as we speak.

It's interesting that the piece that immediately came to mind for me is not mentioned here: his "Moonlight Sonata" [1]. I think this was also an immense risk at the time. The risk payed off grandly. Moonlight Sonata could e

This is always an exciting question... You know, it's nice to daydream about all kinds of secret and mysterious projects. But I think another question is more about necessity, and I think necessity is what fuels a lot of politics aroun

Are you saying that good music is necessarily oversimplified? I am not sure that I follow.

And of course the technical definition supersedes the use of the word "berry" in the English language...

This was also my thought. I think the only fail-safe strategy is if renewables are cheaper than coal (or more convenient / popular from the consumer's side).

There is one issue that I can see with this, which is when the stock is valued near to some calculated future value of dividends. The price of a stock can go down while the dividend remains constant. Hence, some will take up coal stocks tha

There is a useful IRC channel on freenode called ##re, for those who might care.

Do you have advice for people who want to somehow be involved? For example, I am from South Africa and one of the biggest problems here is the terrible quality of some government schools. However, I don't really know how to do anything

It's funny, but in South Africa crime and especially theft is very common, and at the same time, personal property sometimes find their way back to you. This especially tends to happen if for example you were robbed and your wallet was

I've also experienced this both with mate and with coffee. The kind of sleep I have then is a sort of buzz sleep. Not necessarily full of dreams but similar to alcohol induced sleep. It's almost like sleep and activity are differe

I am not well versed in the Physics counterpart of Noether's work, but the mathematics side is quick to explain: the isomorphism theorems in group theory (originally, in ring theory) were one of the main impacts of her work. A quick sk

Apart from people, what are the main challenges to get to a stage where it is usable? My guess is that maintaining large indices is nontrivial in multiple aspects.

What a relief that HP at least beat The Very Hungry Caterpillar ! But an important point is when the book was published. I think HP and other popular books would probably climb the ranks for a few years to come.

What is the point of having traffic stops of this kind? For example, why can't you just have traffic checks as a normal activity? In some countries (Botswana is an interesting example) the police stop you on public holidays and give yo

Is it illegal to have an empty beer can in your car? A couple of German exchange students once told me that you can drink in a car while the car is moving as long as the driver doesn't drink anything.

Can't we have an open source search engine with publicly sourced "indices"? Anyone who wants can then crawl the web and build a graph of parts of the internet. The search part and the crawling code would be open source. What&

With the rise in popularity of ultramarathons, couldn't you take the best time of the 100+ mile races and compare that to times for horses on similar distances and terrain? When I saw the heading, I was convinced at the end it would sa

Yes, but that would be a more generic description. All of mathematics abstracts previously partially known knowledge. When we went from 1 coconut -> the set {1}, then we were being really abstract for the times. But I think your point is

I would say that successful theorists are exactly those who discover phenomena. Saunders Mac Lane is perhaps the epitome in mathematics of someone who was guided by phenomena. This is why category theory was not discovered, it was reverse e
