Here's a map of them. Corrections and additions welcome. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bebA9E6kTb3G9g5GEeezYPzvwH... Based on the map from wikipedia, which had 84 locations, this has 120.

Yes, it definitely doesn't have them all. I've found more too. Perhaps the map maker got bored.

The spending of any large industry on political influence concerns me. But the link doesn't say much. Very similar arguments are used to discredit climate science ('big climate science') vaccinations ('big pharma')

At what point will the constant background noise of people complaining about click-bait be more annoying than the wording of the headlines themselves?

You know that discussion that comes up when people confuse Climate and Weather? Similar thing here. Dietary recommendations are population level tools for improving health. Individuals can benefit from taking an engineering approach and fig

Couldn't a similar argument be put for high school education. Not needed for many fields. Retail, transport, much of manufacturing, etc. Is education primarily an economic, or social good?

Best avoided for what? At worst, SVG is as styleable as any graphic or font, at best much more so. You shouldn't use SVG for things with first-class support in HTML, sure, but for anything else it is a good solution, afaict. Can you gi

First para: I think maybe you're confusing 'class' with inheritance from 'object'. A good tip is to do: class Foo(namedtuple('Foo', (...)): def __repr__(self): ... Your 'F

Can King Cnut turn back the tide? If your users rebel against your business model, it's a brave (foolish? short-term?) business decision to fight your users. Fine for companies who can only generate value from a user by ads (don't

We used to say something similar about MUDs. Don't start, because you'll end up spending days and nights on a terminal in the basement of the library and your work/outside life/everything else will be put on hold. Multip

I think a big part of the answer is not to care. Or rather to just silently auto-discount. Imagine the 60s-90s and advertising just overwhelm with sexualised figures. We don't notice, because we just silently pass by. I don't see

You may have a much better knowledge than I (wouldn't be hard). But that example doesn't quite answer the question. If a work is derivative, what is the extent of the derivative work, for the purpose of copyleft? Can you answer

Case law on CC is very minimal so far [0], so this hasn't been explored in court. ShareAlike is intentionally copyleft, yes. But it isn't clear what would constitute the 'derivative work'. If you had a glimpse of the pho

According to the original letter, the writer and other interns did ask their individual managers, and were told no, without repercussion. Their response was to band together and create a petition to 'argue' their point. The peti

It's also unrealistic to assume that an attentive driver would have avoided the crash. Driving at speed, you have to make assumptions that other people will do the right thing. You pass cars all the time. If you assume that the car m

Ulysses is one of, if not my absolute, favourite books. And I don't share the post's dislike of Portrait, either. But Finnegan's Wake, yeah. Too much for me. There are moments in Ulysses that touch that, but then reign back i

James Norton's audio book of Ulysses is superb, he really captures the beauty of the language. I'd recommend it more as an audiobook that written, at least at first, just as I'd recommend listening to Shakespeare rather than

Unfortunately you're wrong on both counts. The butterfly-in-Beijing metaphor is normally a good sign of someone who misunderstood the dynamics of complex systems. IIRC there's a lecture series from Santa Fe on intro to complex dyn

I thought the same, and as per fovc's comment, below, I think what their statistical analysis did was basically a coarse fourier transform. In the Harry Potter example you can see that a higher frequency is very significant. But the ex

It comes around and around. Vocal fashions of teenage girls cause consternation. Remember the handwringing over uptalk (HRT)? In fact, I think there's a lot of the anti-HRT sentiment at work in vocal-fry. Girl's being told that hi

Such simulations don't assume determinism. A complex dynamic system will have evolutions that follow a probability distribution. The simulation should approximate the p.d., and that is useful information. We do this with weather, marke
