This was great! Looking forward to them for loops.

Canada and Sweden are really really far from the median for the planet. They are not representative at all. Try again with Malaysia, Indonesia, Nigeria, China, Bangladesh, Colombia, Brazil, Greece, Uk…

The point is that they are a union. For instance, France, the Netherlands and Belgium together are more "powerful" than Germany. It's not like the Germans simply determines whatever the…

How does it work? Do you take into account the authors' previous success? You have a typo at the top of your page btw.

But the job of the manager is by definition to assign tasks. A bad manager doesn't delegate and tries to do everything herself. Not doing a task you agreed to as some sort of petty revenge or to …

The only reason I listen to podcasts is because I can download them so I can listen to them without my phone/where there is no good connection.

I do a lot of traveling. My experience improved dramatically when I stopped using TripAdvisor and similar apps. I just go with the flow. Talk to real people. Like a bunch of American tourists (insert …

I went to the Amalfi coast recently. It was mind-numbingly crowded, except for the abundant hiking trails, which were virtually deserted and gorgeous. Back in the city the horde was queuing to eat at …

Why is that bad? people complain about the enormous costs of accommodation, to which the main solution is simply to build more.

I think you mean drop out of the Eurozone. Leaving the EU would be completely nonsensical.

-We're not doing anything dodgy. -Other than the fact that it makes them feel "creeped out". Pick one.

If a company does not understand GDPR it's fair to say I don't want them handling my personal data. And it's not like this is new, there was a 2 year period to prepare for this. "M…

For physics, I believe you fall in Leonard Susskind's target audience. You can get his book, or even better, watch his large amount of lectures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ…

The lack of numbers and clear facts in there are very telling. I'm always wary when significant claims are made but no numbers or studies are cited to support them. In this case it's just ab…

I'm always wary of articles that have zero numbers in them.

You can force them to give provide conditions, or else they have to pay monumental fines / managers go to prison, etc. They will get the point.

Sounds like a crackpot to be honest. QC doesn't work yet because of practical limitations, but individual blocks have been shown to work separately and even small computers [1]. In looking at his…

At least tap water doesn't come in disposable plastic bottles that end up as microplastics in our water supply

Why do you blame the water and not the food?

This is exactly what the article details. What is your point?

The Hitler comparison is too much, even for an anti-China troll.

When it becomes trivial to generate convincing fake videos, nobody will take said videos seriously. The real issue will be in politics, misinformation, etc. And I think it's coming (if we're…

It's near impossible to not have loopholes. To this day nobody has a proposal on how that would work. Huge companies like Apple are always going to find a way and behave like greedy sociopaths - …

The date when it was discovered is irrelevant - no astronomer cares about that. You should think of it as a unique string associated with some data + coordinates.

No. The effect of the waves is so small that it required a gargantuan project to detect the strongest events. The LIGO detector is possibly the most sensitive instrument of any kind humans have made.

You say: 1) Person A: I hold a belief for which there is no proof or rational support. I just have faith in it. 2) Person B: I too hold such a set of beliefs. Mine are different than yours and they ev…

That's a trivial thing, you would simply categorically deny the implicit accusation. But his answer instead did not come even close, it was "I have stopped about the same as other people&quo…

"just cut the cables" Not that easy. Furthermore, it's the same for any large power plant of any type. This is a very poor argument against solar. It's also a stretch to imagine th…
