I know it's a bit stupid saying this about the owner of the world's biggest social network, but does he understand people at all? I'm pretty sure you wouldn't need a very advanced AI to replace most friends' interac

That’s a special case of the general strategy of defeat in detail I think?

The article references a quote about the "benefits of moderate alcohol consumption" as well, which I thought was an idea that had been debunked? I can't read the actual editorial though, it's paywalled.

That's more "inspired by" rather than "based on" the novels, though.

When I visited, Autobahn left lane traffic seemed to be about 50% people in black Audis and BMWs tailgating and flashing their lights at other drivers who dare to only drive at 90MPH.

I had the same feeling. I've lived in Sussex for most of my life and I can't say I've heard a Sussex accent for a long time. Maybe I'm on the wrong side of an urban/rural split?

The official unemployment figures hide a lot of detail, though. It looks like youth unemployment is roughly 3 times the overall rate, plus anecdotally there's a lot of under-employment: intelligent young people with decent degrees work

Looking at EVDatabase, it seems like the 800v cars charge quite a lot faster? The EV6 manages 205kW average compared to 124kW for the long range Model Y. From my experience, the EV6 hits those charging speeds very reliably.

Not true at all: 80% of pollution from an ICE vehicle is from driving it (fuel and servicing).

You can do the diagnostic test in multiple sittings: I think I split it up into 3 parts? To some extent, though, I don't think you're meant to spend lots of time on each question struggling to figure it out as it's trying to

The warning sign I see when methods are split too much is that the method boundaries start to get messy: methods take too many arguments, or state is saved into confusingly named class members, or you end up returning some struct containing

I have a fairly similar story to the OP. I have an engineering degree, but that was 25 years ago. I started reading a lot of 'proper' maths a few years back (abstract algebra, topology etc) and made decent progress, but it never q

In my UK village, which has plenty of free off street parking 2 minutes walk from the high street, people will park on the street outside the shops even if it means interfering with traffic or parking on the pavement. People really hate to

I had one, unfortunately. It was a nice enough upgrade from a Spectrum, but far too late. I really regretted it when all my friends got Amigas and I was stuck in 8 bit land. It didn't help that they had to do a mass ROM replacement aft

In the UK state education system it would be covered in Religious Education lessons, around ages 11-13. They cover most of the world's major religions. As a completely non-religious person I try to keep myself from telling my concienti

Oh, in that case I agree then: linear story-focused games feel like the developers misunderstood the concept of 'game'.

Isn't that dismissing 90% of games? The story can exist purely to give emotional context to the action of the game.

To be fair though, it's not like the trains were exactly great in the UK before privatisation.

I was a developer at a third party developer writing Foleo software and I always wondered what was going on on the other side of the wall. The rumour I was told for the cause of all the delays was that some executive had decided the screen
