Walking-etiquette seems to be even less established/clear in places in the UK where there are many tourists, expats and/or overseas students. I've lived both in London and Oxford now, and in both these cities (but especially Oxford) there s

There is this professor here at Oxford, Nick Bostrom, who argues that we are currently living in a simulation: 1) Moore's law holds across worlds. 2) People/beings will, for various reasons (historic, sociological, experimenting, play) want
