Who has 'jurisdiction' in international law? According to your narrow definition of 'jurisdiction', nobody. Are you saying 'international law' doesn't exist? I mean, it wouldn't be wholly unreasonable

It's about dosage. 5 mg of amphetamines is really just a bit a boost. Of course if you start cutting lines and snort them to keep awake and dancing until noon the next day, it's a different story.

I don't think that list is really as black and white as that article makes it seem. I had conversations about this exact topic with friends from Spain and France (the things you talk about once you have children), and none of them had

Can someone explain what is in this 'Elements of AI' course, since that doesn't seem to be described in the article? I'm just having a hard imagining what can be taught in a few months to e.g. the dentist in the article

Where are you from? There are many places where warm lunches in school are not normal. (I'm specifically thinking about Belgium and the Netherlands here, but I don't think they're common anywhere in Europe outside of the UK).

Mensa membership is actually quite interesting, and possibly relevant to this discussion. It's full if people who are 'smart' (i.e., did well on the mensa tests), yet don't do that well professionally to be around smart

"But I'm pretty sure that the questions of e.g. the law exam are about laws" I don't know about mcat, but no, lsat isn't about that at all. It would be weird testing people for the thing they're trying to be ad

No,they used to claim science, but the revent announcement is explicitly about it not being for research any more, and the ban on selling whale meat is also lifted.

E-ink and similar tech seems to have tapered off the last couple of years, the only thing (as far as I know) that is doing anything new is the reMarkable. I was just about to pull the trigger on ordering one - anyone have experience with it

It's sad you're being downvoted, since your comment explain exactly what is going on.

But is that because there are just nog enough nurses to do the checking that would be medically beneficial, or because of deliberate choices/scheduling? (am Belgian, not always impressed with quality of healthcare)

Not OP, but the same way you get anything 'management' done - get to know people, make them like you, understand procedures and incentives of everything and everybody involved, trust but verify, always be proactive and ahead of ev

Oh TIL, I had a completely wrong mental image of what euro6 actually means, thank you.

On pinterest, I have something similar, except that I'm mostly following cooking things and some 3d art here and there, and then every few weeks they sneek in some bible verses and anti-abortion propaganda. I'm sure some algo some

Yes, this is the approach in e.g. Belgium and Germany.

There is lots of research and literature about that. In the West, it's generally somewhere between 250k and 2mm.

Is a Lamborghini euro6? I don't think they are, I don't see how they could be, and the data I can find says they're not (but I could only find Dutch energy standards, where a 2017 Aventador is class g, which is the worst ther

I often wonder what HN could infer from my positions on various topics based on my voting (eventhough I don't use it to signal (dis)agreement).

Spaced repetition is a very useful tool when making it through law school; it was for me and many of my cohort. It's very useful to improve scores on many tests, from first aid to tests for a hunting license. Is it very useful to &#x27

Sure, there are a bunch of tools for pretty much every language, but I don't want to deal with that, nor switch between browser and editor for it. I know people complain all the time about headers, I was just saying I love the separati

Well in that case, I guess it's a definition thing. When I teach C++, I find it much more useful to make a clear separation between 'preprocessor' and 'compiler', and not make the preprocessor part of the compiler a

There have been 'alternative' adhesives (i.e. not mortar) on the market for decades. Mortar is just hard to beat on price and flexibility. But the question 'are there non-mortar ways to build and are they safe' has been

Didn't you get the memo? Our goal is to pay everyone above-average wages! Anything else is a terrible injustice!
