If your government/culture looks at you like an ant, of course it'll judge you only by your net output. Other than a "thank god I'm not Chinese", I'm not sure what other discussions one could have without going

You can't seriously expect to come to night exausted and sleep-deprived, only to be "productive". I don't want to be productive, I want to empty my mind of responsiblities and serious stuff, even if that means shooting a

Thank you. The most surprising bit of info is how any of this is surprising. OF COURSE I sacrifice sleep for leisure. I would be happy to sacrifice work instead, but guess what?

I can sort of understand your point, but don't you think it's ironic to hold people responsible to NOT doing things in their power to avoid/prevent/solve troubles, only to shout at them when they do? On a more general po

I always find this problem very hard to parse. You're right that it's an arbitrary change, but on the other hand, every change is arbitrary whem you want to modify an established system. Of course the question here is if this is t

In all honesty, no one (at least, no one in the real actual world) wants alternatives to things that already work. Give me a standard that's good enough and we'll see how to deal with edge-cases. That's what internet is for,

On the other hand, this rises the usual (but still interesting) questions like: what happens if you don't have the right female talent at the moment, but still need to fill quotas? Is it ethical to have a spot reserved regardless of me

Is the "Minister for women" a charge common in other countries too? It's the first time I've heard of it and, quite honestly, it sounds pretty weird (albeit I undertand why it's there). I guess some push is needed f

I would think that it would not gather (as much) data when using it for offline maps. I admit it's just an hope.

I suspect the "alright I accept just stop it!" approach is part of the design.

SEO is a Google invention anyway, so it's not unethical to manipulate the rules at will (if you're able to) to gain an advantage. It's their rules anyway, so if a method works, it's acceptable by default. That said, if t

Kind-of related, hoping not to hijack the conversation: Does Google ADs give an advantage in SEO positioning? Even if not directly, could the traffic increase from Google ADs be viewed as a positive factor even for organic results?

From your wikipedia link: The barber is the "one who shaves all those, and those only, who do not shave themselves". The question is, does the barber shave himself? If the answer is "no", then he's shaved from ano

> Real paradoxes do exist: A barber shaves everyone who doesn't shave themselves, who shaves the barber? I'm clearly missing something but how is that a paradox?

"Ad cazzum" is a sort of fake latinism, to say (in a sort of fake-courtly language) that something has been done/said/thought in a totally random way with no planning at all. Doing something "ad cazzum" means,

One way to understand these trends, Aboulafia told me, is through the industry’s most beloved metric: the seat mile. If a plane with 300 available seats flies 1,000 miles, that flight clocks up 300,000 seat miles. Airlines are constantly c
