As I have already told you the yelling fire thing is essentially a rhetorical device, that has been used to promote suppression of free speech to a much larger extent. I don’t think I even care, but please be honest about it and tell people

The yelling fire example is an extreme edge case, and it’s usually used by people who would like to limit freedom of speech much more than that. I’ve never heard it being used genuinely not even once. I find it irritating: you don’t want fr

That’s quite a stretch. And it shows how limited your comprehension of the topic is. Clearly, the money that goes to starving children comes from a different Department, and they are on different budgets. You just cannot move money like tha

Money is limited and the government decides how to distribute it. The difference between spending it on B and taking it away from A is, to me, absolutely unsubstantial.

Why not increasing the maternal leave then? I would highly prefer that! Some money is spent into this, I would rather see the money being spent to increase mother’s leave.

The government is putting some money in it. I would prefer that money was used to extend the mother’s leave.

Thanks but no thanks. When I’ll have a baby I‘ll have to breastfeed, after having carried him for nine months, and having him exit through my private parts. Give me my extended, non trasferrable maternal leave! Edit: since some people are m

The choice works for 99% of people, and it’s always very clearly stated. If you have any problem with the default choice, I am sure the organizers will do their best to accommodate your request. The same holds for special dietary requests,

Some conferences are in locations with restricted accommodation facilities, and if you don’t specify a roommate, you are paired with someone of your gender. So that’s why the gender might be needed. As far as the preferred pronouns are conc

From your comment I get the feeling that you think that an elderly white man does not have the same right to speak as a young black woman. If that’s the case, I have bad news for you: you are a racist. If that’s not the case, stop talking a

What is ironic is that the painting is a political, left-wing work of art, and it was created with the intent of denouncing the hypocrisy of the founding fathers. Are we doing a good service to the youth removing any kind of potentially dis

It was painted to denounce the hypocrisy of the founding fathers. So, to me, it’s appropriate as it encourages critical thinking.

The accent still remains, in the specific way each letter is pronounced and in the global intonation. Italian has almost phonemic orthography, as well, yet the Italian accent can be quite noticeable.

Looks like the year is not correct. The text has clearly been written right after Terence Tao sat the exam, and given that he received his Ph.D. in 1996, most likely the notes are from 1993 or 1994.

Stockfish was named that way because the two main authors are from Norway and north-eastern Italy. Oddly enough, in both places stockfish is a typical dish.
