I used to use Shreddit and other tools and the same thing has happened. Even worse, they give me notifications if someone replies in a sub that didn't opt-in to archive mode (anoth…

They're quite regular - look at the Wikipedia page for Irish orthography to get a good set of rules.

I worry it's going soon after the IPO.

I'm leaning more and more towards this myself, except for the fact I hate the look of most of them, and love my traditional watches. Maybe I could just keep it in my pocket. But it…

This sounds so tempting. I really wish I could have a phone that does a few simple things: Maps, Spotify, WhatsApp, Telegram, GPS tracker for running. That's really all I want on m…

That's not how I interpreted it at all. I interpreted him as basically saying meaningless pub banter is now killed entirely. Because someone is going to pull out their phone and ch…

Exactly. The instant someone turns to their phone to check something, it ruins the conversation completely. The whole point is the conversation, the banter, the talking; not on the…

From what I understand, it's not passed yet. They've just reached a deal on the amendments that need to be added so it will be passed.

This is honestly what scares me the most. Our biases are built in to AI, but we pretend they're not. People will say "Well, it was the algorithm/AI, so we can't change it". Which i…

We're getting there already. I taught for years in a poorer, rural district in a southern State. It was quite bad about many couldn't perform outside a very basic level in those sk…

That's part of it, but it's not the entirety of it. Which, as a former secondary teacher and now university teacher, I would agree with. They found, for instance, that higher leisu…

Notice on the graph that the drop pretty much starts around 2012. Quite interesting, and it definitely probably needs to be investigated more. They also mention the correlation bet…

The dichotomy between 'philosophical' and 'religious' Daoism is ahistorical, and stems from the influence, especially, of the Jesuits. They were tied together and mixed together fr…

Oh I forgot to mention Coutinho's An Introduction to Daoist Philosophies , which looks at the three early Daoist texts -- the Laozi , the Zhuangzi , and the Liezi . I haven't read …

Personally, if you're interested in the early 'philosophical' side (which I don't think can - or should - be disentangled from the 'religious' side; the separation of religion and …

Sadly the Tao of Pooh does not outline the basic tenets of Daoism. As van Norden says in the chapter on the Daodejing in his Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy : > The Ta…

I feel it's pretty clear he's aiming for the Nobel if it's true. It can only be split three ways, after all.

From my perspective as a former secondary teacher, it's parents. At the least sign of their kids being in trouble (or failing), many parents will come up to the school (that they o…

As a former secondary math teacher, you'd be surprised how many kids can't do basic arithmetic without a calculator. This doesn't even just include kids with learning disabilities …

No, it'll rely on exploitation of workers. That's what's happening in Dublin -- they're exporting the English language students as in Ireland you can work (legally, many work more)…

It doesn't change the underlying issue. The issue is every single one of those rooms available on AirBnB is a room/house not available for long-term rent. And that's the problem. I…

There is room - in the hotels. Tourists aren't entitled to live in local houses . And I never said to not build more. I said it's only part of the answer.

It has nothing to do with tourists visiting. It's tourists taking up the local housing . Tourists are planned into any good urban planning -- but they're not expected to stay in th…

Just go to AirBnB and check -- right now, there are over 1000 open rooms for one guest in Dublin. Going to daft.ie, Ireland's main rental site, there's only 200 one-bed places to l…

Yes, 10x more rooms on AirBnB than open rooms to rent in Dublin. At least with single bedrooms; I haven't looked into more rooms as I'm only searching for a new place for myself. >…
