No..if there really is a problem with his edits, there'll be a discussion and he'd be banned from that topic, which does happen (e.g, the top editor to the Donald Trump article als…

"Poll: Democrats more likely to believe allegations of sexual misconduct" that's the title of the article..

I would say the person doing the sexual abuse is clearly the worst person and the clear bad guy- yes people shouldn't enable them, but not cancelling a contract or something like t…

Ah yes, as we all know all sexual assault is equivalent touching a knee. And no one faces harassment after putting their story out. No one.

What do you mean by 275 seats..? EC votes or what? The polls were pretty accurate - they tightened to 3ish% in the end IIRC and she won by 2%.

I was going to say something about partisanship, but Republicans are also less likely to believe allegations in general - even say the one against Conyers, 39% of dems believe it v…

While I think having more trees is good, I wonder if those trees and grass could lead to problems in the concrete and asphalt.

At least for top 10 websites, would I not be able to prove that google is responsible for everything on their site?

Haha I just clicked the random button for masterpiece and it gave me Mozart's Requiem. I was looking at the recommendations based on the pieces I chose anyhow. I personally like to…

I wouldn't say that. Cities were built next to rivers and seas because they provided ways of transport, water, and places to dump waste etc. You can't build a city inland without a…

It's mostly I think the limit of how fast the ground can absorb water after it has passed through the pavement. If the water rises through the pavement..

Like the other guy pointed out, there isn't always an area to drain too. Also I'd say having more plants has other benefits, and so does draining water into the ground, which would…

Yeah I don't think google not using a EV certificate really changes whether I can sue them

There's an interesting related wikipedia article on the "Weinstein effect" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinstein_effect

I don't think that has happened here though. The drug use rate in portugal is still extremely low - 2% compared to 5-10% elsewhere in the EU

I was talking mainly about the simple case presented above. x*y can be 0 (mod 6) but I don't think it takes knowing abstract algebra and a deep knowledge of modulo and axioms to fi…

Well I know there are entire books written to codify basic math. I don't knowing that, or say reading and understanding Russell's book, would help teach a child that 1+1 = 2

Regarding your students, well I don't dispute that there are students that think that - I just don't think that say a teacher knowing more about abstract algebra would be able to e…

Well that seems to mostly be because it just seems like a website to categorize and discuss already uploaded youtube clips of music.

As far as I can see yes - which is what I was wondering, because it seems like a fancy way to categorize youtube clips and I already have a playlist of classical music videos in yo…

This seems mostly like a social site for discussing/reviewing classical music + a fancy way to categorize youtube clips. The recommendations doesn't seem that useful as I've alread…

"For example, we teach students in high school that if the product of two polynomials is zero, then to solve we set each one separately equal to zero. Yet this does not hold with n…

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1464837 It's actually not drug use which has decreased all that much - it's actually "drug-related pathologies — such as sexuall…
