I question whether that's relevant to the topic. Being next door to your friends and family (the article) and being a 10 mile drive from friends and family are not the same thing. In one you see each and interact with each other daily.

what is your definition of "high trust society". I don't consider the USA a high trust society having lived in Japan and Singapore. In Japan and Singapore, I trust that others won't steal my stuff. I trust that I won&#x2

Japanese are massively superstitious (as are most peoples). That's not quite the same as religion but it's somewhere in the same side of the spectrum.

Stammtisch might help a little but for me, loneliness comes from lack of a lover. It's not the sex, it's the support, hugs, caresses, pillow talk, companionship that, at least I, need. I had a weekly drink up for 15yrs and seeing

yes, and that 2% per year average figure takes that into account. The percent for your life is higher. You got robbed, do something to make it go down, it gets lower. Over the course of the average life, it ends up at 2% per year. It's

by nox101 2y ago
meaning? My point isn't that those number are exact. My point is 2% chance per year expands to a larger number over many years. So saying "most people have experienced theft" many not be that far off. 2% is 1 in 50 but 55% is

by nox101 2y ago
Given the average lifespan is ~80yrs then the average chance you've had something stolen over over say 40 years is much higher than 2%. It's 2% per year so ~45% for 30yrs and 55% for 40yrs?

Do you have examples of a single GPU thread outperforming a single CPU thread? Here's mine https://jsfiddle.net/jw7a6to9/ bubblesort https://jsfiddle.net/y1w6s9tj/ taylor series > in

GPU single threads are up to 20x slower the CPU threads. GPUs get their speed from massive parallelization, SIMD style "do N things 1 one instruction", and some specialized hardware (like texture samplers) If you take a serial alg

It's not that simple because the user's devicePixelRatio might be fractional. Say it's 1.5, then scaling up, some low-res pixels get scaled up to N pixels and other to N+1 and you can get something really ugly, especially if

JSONC is fine but VCS should have named its configuration files settings.jsonc since the files are not JSON and will not be parsed by JSON parsers.
