It's not an equation in what it does to people. Yes, abduction is worse than being yelled at. However, it's pointing out that the general principle has been established: "People whose opinion I don't like can be banned f

It's not only Poland. I've had the misfortune of suffering through a couple Horizon projects, with partners from many European countries. Same experience as you had. "These are not serious people" sums it up.

Yeah but what does simple mean? I struggle with that a lot. In my experience, keeping it simple means not being flexible when requirements change. Adding new features becomes tedious or even a mess. Keeping things simple is an art, certainl

As a German speaker, the claim "more than one prenominal genitive is impossible" seems interesting but perhaps not entirely accurate. As a non-linguist I probably misunderstand the meaning of prenominal genitive and might be missi

In base R, `+` is the usual arithmetic operator for numeric and complex vectors. I'm not a super R expert but I'm pretty sure the addition operator is overloaded here. It simply means: add(Music(), Meter(4, 4), Line(...), Li

Serious question: How do you avoid being blamed after all? I've observed reactions like, "It looks like you are just incompetent." and, "Whatever, just find a solution."

I believe these issues are instances of the frame problem [0]. Specifying the effects of an action is easy ("show more diversity"), but specifying non-effects is hard to impossible ("do not show more diverse Nazis"). Com

Life on submarines differs substantially between nations and types. Nuclear boats are pretty large, operate in the ocean, and spend their deployment below the surface. In contrast, non-nuclear boats (diesel-electric, hydrogen fuel cells) ar

True. However, as I experienced it, there was negligence regarding a base load problem among those favoring renewable energies. I got into emotionally charged arguments for even asking, "Will Germany produce enough electrical power aft

The Facebook page of an incredibly talented and passionate bass player got deleted without apparent reason. I suppose it is the nth reminder not to trust big platforms. However, there are only so many ways to reach a large audience, so ther

Peter Zeihan has entered the chat. On the one hand, I found Zeihan to be hilariously wrong about details I am familiar with, such as calling all flat-top helicopter carriers "jump carriers." This video examining Zeihan's ce

This is an alarming development. Nevertheless, as a scientist, I believe it's an effect of a misguided culture of trust. This culture has, paradoxically, allowed mistrust of the sort described in the article to fester. > So much of

I am afraid you're right. On the other hand, in my experience, writing an academic text is rarely straightforward, with a lot of forth-and-back involved. Ultimately, a human must decide whether the diffs look more like such a pattern o

Yes, it was atrocious, but humans are going to do human things. Cortez's conduct was not so different from how the Aztecs had conquered the region in the preceding 150 years. In any case, germs from Europe, Asia, and Africa would have

There are numerous counterexamples to the factors you mention. Czechia (Czech Republic) is a strongly atheist country and doing quite well. None of the East Asian countries are Protestant or Jewish. Italy's GDP, a Catholic country, is

The article is about how countries get rich, i.e., boost their GDP. Of course, people in these countries will benefit from a growing GDP, but it's a different subject matter than amassing riches as an individual. China's (12.7) an

No, Germany has been a net importer in 2023. Whereas in 2022, 27.5 TWh were exported, in 2023, 8.6 TWh had to be imported. The summer was particularly disastrous, with 5.5 TWh imported in August alone. Germany consumed 483 TWh in 2022 and 4
