I can answer based on the Boston area. It's not that Boston is consistently perfect for walking and biking, but it's awful for driving, so the car-free life is pretty appealing. I guess you could describe what delivery trucks do

So this is a different change than the one you were originally talking about, when you made the incorrect claim that 'For centuries, "they" has been plural and "he" has been used for gender-neutral singular third-pe

Okay, that is an interesting distinction. It might even be true. Although I don't think it's that new to also use "they" to refer to a specific person whose gender you don't know (perhaps because you haven't me

Your StackExchange link is not the most conclusive thing: you have people answering that you can still get away with saying "he", or possibly "he or she", and you also have people correctly pointing out that almost all E

VGA has limited bandwidth, so it looks horrible at the scale of a modern TV screen. Show someone a VGA signal on a TV and they'll assume the TV sucks.

Fine, "not traceable by arbitrary people on the Internet". I know the credit card company and everyone they share your data with can see your transactions, and that's a problem some may wish to avoid, but that is still a much

It's enshrined in the Drool format that every file has to start with a UTF-8 BOM and contain \r\n line breaks? This sounds like favoring one text editor at the expense of all others, and not a good one. Is this format designed to be ed

Translation services are generally trained on parallel text, where we believe a given sentence is the translation of another sentence. You don't specify which word is the translation of which word. That would take a lot of human effort

I agree with the suggestion to de-bias the application and not the representation itself. Recently I was using a version of Conceptnet Numberbatch (word embeddings built from ConceptNet, word2vec, and GloVe data that perform very well on ev

So the name `mappend` is "completely wrong" in your opinion? It's such a Haskelly response to say that I am not allowed to use a concept for what it was designed for, unless I use it in its full generality.
