Would SAVEPOINTs offer a viable alternative for meeting that need?

As much as this world sounds like a treasure, and deserves an audience, might putting it on Steam not be a bit Endless September?

It's most likely a confluence of those, and other factors. My default inclination is to look to systemic effects first, though. So, in this case, whatever the specific balance between the confounding factors may be, my bet is that it&#

I wouldn't, myself, characterize your original comment in this thread as "discuss[ing]" sex differences, but rather as asserting them. That's not to say they don't exist — they most certainly do, though perhaps no

Yeah, I really don't get how these people got "they have a different experience of time" from this result. It's more a matter of "the language you happen to be using at any given time controls which 'concept&

No, you're talking about dialects. Both instances being Spanish-speaking, they're (according to this research) going to think of "how much time something takes" in a volumetric fashion, whereas English speakers tend to

Last I'd heard (KQED, a couple months ago), she was raising money for the race. So, unfortunately, probably not.

If the people running these shops are eschewing credit cards as part of their cost-cutting, what could possibly possess you to think that "disrupting" them with some other form of middle-man is going to play here?

I can't confirm whether your approach is legit (though vPro does seem to be relevant), but I find my work machine (2015 15" rMBP) has it, and my personal (2013 13" rMBP) doesn't. Specifically, the string you want to `gre

There is something so deliciously meta about this. FMRI scans might also be a very interesting place to play with CNNs.

That's two variables — caffeination and the psychedelic. How are you controlling for which compound has which effects? EDIT: Leaving aside the whole, you know, "Dosing your unsuspecting coworkers with acid" thing. Not very co

Whether I'm paying for a service is orthogonal to what its ToS allows them to do with my data. When I'm not paying for it, you can be pretty confident the ToS explicitly allows it, with even money on its being phrased in abstrus

From their own site: "Unroll.Me is a free service ", emphasis added. If it's free for you, you're the product.

Besides the obvious things like seat belts, airbags, &c, I'd hope these have those whole-vehicle parachute systems you see on some small private planes.

It's not that the Thai people have no problem with the sex trade. Many do. The Thai I've spoken about it with — some of whom have themselves worked in, or have family in the sex trade — have consistently less sanguine attitudes th

If it were limited to major streets like Sukhumvit, that would be one thing. It can be impossible to squeeze down some of those blocks — especially if you're carrying your bags, having just landed, and trying to get to your room. I don

I also bought one during the crowdfunding campaign, and am pretty deeply disappointed at the difference between advertised and actual capabilities.

Oh, totally, there should be articles correcting the common notion, for the people who'd care enough to read them. This site didn't strike me as targeted at lay audiences, though.

It's cute how you try to apply a Western way of seeing the world to a radically different cultural mindset. The people I'm talking about believe, in all seriousness , that the plants have spirits, with whom you can communicate,

I have no idea how old you are, but it's not at all surprising to me that a narrative like that is the one that propagates through the broader culture. Among other things, it speaks to how the enlightened Europeans brought civilization

This article is an absurd misstatement of the research. Pretty much no-one is pushing the notion of a "pristine" pre-colonial Amazon. As the Nature article that also talks about this paper (both linked in another top level comment

I don't think the problem is that people "misunderstand" that notion. I think it's that people who've never been that kind of poor don't — can't — appreciate how few options the people who are actually h
