People heal from injuries using physical therapy on a regular basis. I also don't know what walking on ones thumbs has to do with mindfullness. You don't need to do a statistical analysis. We have other tools that can be used like

Because they're not using proper methodologies to validate that there has been a change. Science based on feelings is pseudoscience and should be treated as such.

That's a good point. You would think it would since Google already analyzes the stuff in your inbox.

It was released three years ago, which is the date you should use for figuring out the life span of a device. You should expect to get less time out of a phone that's already been out for a year and a half when you buy it. In my countr

I'm suggesting that people who feel like others unfairly judge them as creepy and don't like it use the modifiable aspects of their physical appearance to change how people see them. Apparently you don't care if you are perce

A lot of the attractiveness that they focus on isn't necessarily unchangeable, though. Many people can significantly improve the first impression they make by having a nice haircut that fits your head shape and clothes that fit your bo

I had a very smart and talented professor for several undergraduate classes who entered the computer science field after getting an BA in Music and a PhD in Musicology. It didn't seem to slow him down. The only thing I programmed befor

I mean, you can just buy a phone that can run Android P. There are plenty of them available. It's not unreasonable to expect a developer to buy a new device after three years, in my opinion.

To me, Android is definitely not FOSS but it is still open in the sense that matters. As far as I know, any company can pay to use it on their phones. I think members of the Open Handset Alliance don't have to pay. I'm not sure wh

I would gladly use it for most communication. Probably not for my spouse but for everyone else. I am not a good representative for how the average person feels about using it for personal messaging, though. I can see why many people would

I see their point about "your" voice being sucked out of your emails if you use autocomplete for 90% of them. I don't really care about that though. Most people I know have moved on from using email for personal communication

Our field is so varied that there is no good answer to this question unless you specify what you want to focus on. Some people are inevitably going to recommend The Art of Computer Programming , which hardly anyone has read and isn't

I think the person you are responding to might have been talking about those who speak the language Scots, not just Scottish people. Many consider Scots to be an actual language separate from English. There's a good amount of debate ab

I don't see any disrespect in lying about who you are in anonymous interactions. I'm under no obligation to be truthful. It doesn't matter to the restaurant if I book my reservation under a fake name. It doesn't matter i

China has massively westernized but as you say, the only reason it took massive westernization to get to where they are is because they were so far in the other direction. There is a still a gulf between China's view of personal free

I am aware that Trump got the idea from the press, my point was that had Trump not stolen the term as a coverall for news stories he disagrees with then term would have been largely forgotten. The Google trends map in the comment I replied

The Chromebook Pixel has a 3:2 screen. As far as I know only Huawei and Microsoft sell 3:2 laptops so it doesn't have much competition in that regard.

Technically Congress is not needed to propose an amendment but I see your distinction and agree that I would only support changes ratified by 3/4 of the states.

I would gladly make this exact argument for the second amendment. I don't see anything wrong with updating the Constitution as our society changes.

Well, yes, they have to play catch up now because we were/are ahead of them. The question is whether or not they will always be playing catch up, and whether or not that's directly related to the personal freedom of their citizens

I don't think that juries decide what's true and what's not. They decide whether the evidence presented to them is sufficient to show that an event or events happened. My understanding is that even in defamation suits they ar

What's the difference here between modifying and violating? Whether or not the amendment process is followed or a law is passed? I fully agree that the amendment process has to be used. I would be in favor of a 28th amendment placing w

I don't have to make an argument as to why Norway, New Zealand, Finland, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and the US are not good places to live. They are good places to live. That has nothing to do with whether or not China i

Indeed. The next 10 to 15 years in China will either further set an example that you don't need American/European democratic ideals in order for economic prosperity and a good life for your citizens, or it will go a long way to di

The problem always ends up being "who decides what is not true?". Many people think that such a thing is not possible, or that the giving the Government such a power would be too much. I personally think I could be persuaded to gi

And if you are looking to defend it, you will probably need something more compelling than a correlation between prosperity and free speech. Anyways, I'm not seeking to overturn it. I said specifically in my comment "I'm not

You don't even have to look past the current President, who is the most prominent member of the Republican party and to a degree the political rightwing in the US. He tells outright lies on a regular basis. He lies about trivially veri

It became popular after he won because he started using the term incorrectly and labeling everything he disagrees with as fake news. People weren't looking for something to blame his winning on. That's a loaded statement. They wer

It's not productive to tell those who disagree with you to grow up. There are serious consequences from having unlimited freedom of speech and you are not encouraging serious discussion about solutions to them by belittling people. I t

The effect of string stretching is pretty easy to verify. After putting on a new set, tune them to pitch and the stretch each one side to side and away from the fretboard a few inches. They will all be at least a quarter step flat afterward
