    I think you may not realize this, but you've been brainwashed by western propaganda (I grew up in the west, but I've been exposed to many different countries, so I understand this …

    Accusing those who accuse people of being brainwashed of not having a strong argument is not a strong argument.

    This is just the brainwashing that you've received growing up in the west. I know because I grew up in the US, but I've learned more about other countries and realized that things …

    As predicted, the article doesn't contain any genome wide association study to back up its claim in the title that entrepreneurs "don't have a gene for risk". Instead they present …

    Why do hourly employees care how long your lunch break is? At least in the US it's usually not counted as work time. Assuming people clock out for the lunch break, I don't see why …

    > Greenland is a poor country. Perhaps Denmark simply wants to help out the many Inuit & Danes & descendants of both. This is ethically reprehensible. Greenland is poor, but compar…

    It's kind of an inverse problem. Once you put the planets in position you can (reasonably easily?) simulate their oribts with some noise. The idea is that the neural network would …

    Is there any way to use inkscape and have it seamlessly integrate with sharelatex? I'd be kind of concerned about using sharelatex with inkscape PDFs, and then forget about or lose…

    "Is there any reason, specific to Japanese tradition/convention/bureaucracy to keep the name of the era secret until one month before the actual change?" Yes.

    "Race itself is a social construct." What do people mean by this exactly? I've heard some people make the case that the exact boundaries between ethnic groups can be socially const…

    I'm a US citizen, and my worst experience has been with Canadian border patrol (I'm not saying this is general, just my experience).

    Do you just work remotely then? That's pretty cool if you can work somewhere else and draw an SF-level income.

    At least in my experience, I don't see any pressure to not submit if you don't review (I'm in ML though, so could be different in other fields). I think why people review is: -You …

    I think some people buy multiple copies or order over and over again, so the actual probability is high relative to other items (because as others have said, the total number of it…

    The breastfeeding research seems like peak "bad science", because there's so much obvious confounding between the causes of breastfeeding as a behavior and the properties of the ch…

    Aren't you creeped out by what could happen if companies started applying this same reasoning to their customer's private communications, even discussions in their own homes - and …

    I kind of think war could happen, not for the reasons you listed, but because the odds of the US winning such a war might be good but will only go down with time, which is the kind…

    I made a video that actually analyzes the data behind this. Basically the entry-level of the field is about 50% Chinese and the more experienced levels are about 10-20% Chinese. On…
