While it may be interesting from an ease of use point of view, I'm worried it is actually more of move from Google and Microsoft to get more lock-in on their OS and of the web.

If the peace is signed he merits it more than the former US president that got it for other things than his actions. But I don't think this prize is given on merit only, so it's unlikely to happen in my opinion.

A few years ago, as a graduate in Japanese studies, I was curious about what Duolingo offered to learn the language. My verdict: nothing usable at all. Recently I needed to learn Czech, and give it another try. Again, not something that can

As for open-source crawler goes, I've heard of SpiderLing ( http://corpus.tools/wiki/SpiderLing ) which is somewhat specialized for building text corpus.

Two obvious things from the footages: the pedestrian is invisible until the last moment, and the "driver" is focused on something else, probably a smartphone. Given of how little time there was between the hitted woman became visi

Yes the article is written like if environmental changes were the only factor. It may very well have undermined the inner streng of the empire (as a child I learn about the lead pipes that would have been a major issue because of saturnism)

It could be better because the "failing" you described is a very different set of problems than those coming with large immigration. Just look at Western Europe, Sweden or Paris to see how bad things could go in only a few decade

No, the FN was the biggest loser of the election. Marine Le Pen showed to the entire country and her own electors that she's totally not fit for any government position. The FN is dead (even with its name change), it has not even credi

SimCity, Red Alert, AoE so much time playing on them. I’m not sure what they teach me but I’m confident it exposed me to problem solving and persistance which are always useful skills.

I never heard that the language was standardized taking langue d’oc elements or any other French languages or dialects. You should give some sources to affirm that. The standard French is based on the French spoken in Paris which was then

It's funny that you chose the ostracized example as I was bullied myself in high school. This did not prevent me for succeeding way more than any of them at university, nor make me hate a very general and large group of people. The dic

Yes, more that ever we have to be critical of what we read. A problem I see is that some people now distrust so much the mainstream medias that they turn to unreliable or complotist sources of "information". This could be largely

> unfounded "must have 50% representation" The problem is not that it is unfounded, it is that it’s an ideological stance. Poundering it is out of question as it does not advance the agenda. The real issue is diversity of opini

You are totally right about the desocialization. When having such a life, you have a lot of time but it is not aligned with the free time of most people. So you have no real choice: you either hang alone or other people on welfare. Also, th

I share some of the criticisms already stated in other comments. The biggest offender here in my opinion is that it jumps to too many subjects. Trees as graphs, yes, but they are a whole subject of their own. This post should broken down in

No. For two reasons: first talking of the "West Society" as a single entity doesn’t make sense. There are multiples societies such as the Fench, the German, the US ones which have common traits but also some differences. You could

From my (limited) experience of writing a documentation page for a library I made, Markdown is pretty limited (speaking of CommonMark here). Even basic things like table or image need HTML to be done. The gain in syntax is lost on the coher
