It's a prediction of what humans have frequently produced in similar situations.

It's not an equation in what it does to people. Yes, abduction is worse than being yelled at. However, it's pointing out that the general principle has been established: "People wh…

It's not only Poland. I've had the misfortune of suffering through a couple Horizon projects, with partners from many European countries. Same experience as you had. "These are not…

Yeah but what does simple mean? I struggle with that a lot. In my experience, keeping it simple means not being flexible when requirements change. Adding new features becomes tedio…

As a German speaker, the claim "more than one prenominal genitive is impossible" seems interesting but perhaps not entirely accurate. As a non-linguist I probably misunderstand the…

What came to my mind whithout seeing the hovertext. I'm old.

> I have found that audiences genuinely appreciate when you speak powerfully and simply Unfortunately, that only works if the speaker has interesting ideas to share. Often, obtuse …

In base R, `+` is the usual arithmetic operator for numeric and complex vectors. I'm not a super R expert but I'm pretty sure the addition operator is overloaded here. It simply me…

Are you doing that in a professional capacity or is this more of a hobby?

> surge in superlatives like "vital", "essential", "crucial", and "pivotal" This is very interesting. It could also be an effect of Grammarly, which suggests these replacements for…

Serious question: How do you avoid being blamed after all? I've observed reactions like, "It looks like you are just incompetent." and, "Whatever, just find a solution."

I believe these issues are instances of the frame problem [0]. Specifying the effects of an action is easy ("show more diversity"), but specifying non-effects is hard to impossible…

Life on submarines differs substantially between nations and types. Nuclear boats are pretty large, operate in the ocean, and spend their deployment below the surface. In contrast,…

True. However, as I experienced it, there was negligence regarding a base load problem among those favoring renewable energies. I got into emotionally charged arguments for even as…

The Facebook page of an incredibly talented and passionate bass player got deleted without apparent reason. I suppose it is the nth reminder not to trust big platforms. However, th…

Peter Zeihan has entered the chat. On the one hand, I found Zeihan to be hilariously wrong about details I am familiar with, such as calling all flat-top helicopter carriers "jump …

This is an alarming development. Nevertheless, as a scientist, I believe it's an effect of a misguided culture of trust. This culture has, paradoxically, allowed mistrust of the so…

I am afraid you're right. On the other hand, in my experience, writing an academic text is rarely straightforward, with a lot of forth-and-back involved. Ultimately, a human must d…

Yes, it was atrocious, but humans are going to do human things. Cortez's conduct was not so different from how the Aztecs had conquered the region in the preceding 150 years. In an…

There are numerous counterexamples to the factors you mention. Czechia (Czech Republic) is a strongly atheist country and doing quite well. None of the East Asian countries are Pro…

The article is about how countries get rich, i.e., boost their GDP. Of course, people in these countries will benefit from a growing GDP, but it's a different subject matter than a…

Fellow German here. I share your sentiment 100%. I quit consuming standard news early last year and replaced it with reading primary sources if the topic was substantial. Further, …

No, Germany has been a net importer in 2023. Whereas in 2022, 27.5 TWh were exported, in 2023, 8.6 TWh had to be imported. The summer was particularly disastrous, with 5.5 TWh impo…
