I kind of take issue with the fact that this works, maybe not in your foreign language example but in general. I shouldn't have to learn the terminology of HVAC services or plumbing services or any service that I have no intention of l

This thread is really long, so sorry if I missed it, but as someone who does not currently know what their expired prescription was. Is there some way to tell or measure what prescription the glasses I am currently wearing are? My eyesight

I know this is kind of a disparaging comment, but I would really like to hear their response to it. There have been numerous good services similar to them in the past and all have been placed on spam listings and blocked by most major servi

This seems really dependent on finding a good company with openings, which is not always the case. I tried to stay in the Midwest as a recent cs grad with an internship under my belt, but after spending 4 months doing job search I just gave

Could anyone here recommend me something that actually talks about how genius mathematicians and others go about thinking about problems? I've read Hamming's "You and Your Research" and really liked it, but I would love

I don't see why this should be expected of any company honestly. If I want to price for the country that I'm trying to sell to, why should I be forced to care about or focus on a market segment that doesn't matter much to me?

I think it probably will, it is just a matter of time before political actors use this kind of thing to invent dirt on someone. We are probably going to get into an era where everyone deepfakes every politicians voice saying all sorts of wa

This was my initial thought as well. While farmwork and other aspects of rural living is wildly complex, when you have everything pre-setup for you it is easy to learn everything you need to know from an early age. OTOH, when your modern pa

I would say yes, but only in the form of a new language with differences from the older forms. Scheme -> Racket Common Lisp -> Clojure ML -> Haskell If perl followed this format and did a rebrand that is essentially the same thing,

This kind of discussion really gets on my nerves. EVERY single type of smoke is carcinogenic. Period. There is a famous study of a sample of boy scout camp councilors/leaders who are non smokers having as much of an incidence of lung c

I absolutely disagree, you are making a major incorrect assumption about why I have the opinions I do. I readily engaged with SJW activists and helped organize/participated in numerous events and protests. I know EXACTLY what they are

The lack of granularity in America is honestly extremely annoying to me, different states or cities generally have wildly different "white" culture, traditions, commonality, and attitudes. It is often more hidden or subtle and les

This is the core problem with social justice, which I support. When you have a very real problem, eg that some groups live their lives in a situation where they must police their speech and actions to fit with the dominant white male cishet

This is such a ridiculous framing, so in your opinion by this logic, if Xi was democratically elected by a free and fair election, and then proceeded to ban memes via a legislative branch that would be perfectly fine? I think what the UK is

So, you would be surprised, Chinese law itself is actually extremely comprehensive and large. I would argue that Chinese law is nearly identical in scope to most Western law. There are laws on the books enshrining freedoms, and many which a

I think that this is a very old perspective on Hong Kong, whilst before it was an integral part of their economy, now that is much less the case. As this vox article states correctly, Hong Kong used to make up 1/5th of their entire GDP

I think that the point of the gray area is to differentiate themselves from the kinds of things that went on at 8chan without getting banned. None of them were technically illegal but many were abhorrent regardless.
