We didn't see massive uprisings in Nazi Germany also, and there were some Jewish individuals collaborated with the Nazi regime. Your argument couldn't be less convincing.

Well, 'nearby pretty girl' would not describer herself as such, but would have a plausible looking profile picture. :) Also the distances are a bit bigger than the bar you're sitting in (up to a few kilometers).

It's a problem because of spam. On WeChat it happens that if you send a message to a 'nearby pretty girl', you get a link to some dodgy website back. And before you call people who would send a message to a 'nearby prett

Actually, it's quite frustrating. It means that for many (geeky, 'international') apps that I'm interested in there's no rating available.

My question wasn't whether neurons have agency. It was whether people have agency. Also, I intended 'limited agency' to be read as 'zero or very little agency'.

That's a question, not an argument. Here's another question: "How can a human being, which consists of many neurons, each of which has limited agency over the aggregate actions of that entity, be remotely capable of demonstra

You state your opinion as facts, but forget to give an argument. The least you could do is provide a reference. Prima facie, I don't find your view plausible at all.

Great customer service?? I don't have experience with other mobile phone companies in the US, but T-Mobile's customer support line is unlike anything I had ever experienced in Europe. It made my experiences with China Unicom not s

Interestingly, in the Netherlands they often call them Flemish fries. Flanders being the Dutch-language region in Belgium. If you called them that in Belgium I bet you would cause a riot. ;-)

I don't remember McDonald's fries tasting better in the US than in Europe, but then I don't go to McDonald's all that often. (I do grant that there are subtle differences between McDonald's restaurants in different

> McDonald's french fries are great. At their best, they are everything a french fry should be: salty, crisp, light, and not greasy. Funny. I tend to think of super thin fries as an American thing. Fries from McDonald's, in par

"Americans have an anti-nationalist, universalist ideology" Come on. You're just trolling.

Do they do this at Heathrow? I only transferred there once but I had to go through security again. The Heathrow airport is quite a mess, actually.

Oh, I hate when website follow your approach. To start, it doesn't work if you use VPNs. Second, it doesn't update when you travel. Here's one example. Even though I'm logged into Google and used Google Maps' '

Speaking as European (non-UK), I do find this bizarre because it makes the UK look weak. It loses face. You would expect the UK to have enough going for it that it can stand up to the USA, yet here they seem to be so scared of some diplomat

Having lived in Amsterdam I would strongly deny this. Restaurants in NL are below Western European standards. And a quasi-monopoly by one particular supermarket chain means it's a hassle to find quality ingredients for home cooked meal

Very nice work! It seems like this is only fast on large files, though, because the text needs to be copied from the main RAM memory to the GPU, which introduces latency. I wonder what latency would be like if this algorithm was instead run

It's a huge thing! I had three phones stolen in the past 18 months, all while abroad. The last time my iPhone was stolen from my front pocket while I was partying. In the same timespan I also successfully fought of one guy in my own country

That's great advice if you live somewhere where either thefts rarely happen, or thieves are often armed. For locations in between those extremes, well… you're the reason thieves here move on to a next victim if you resist a bit. Also, I dou

Reminds me of how, as soon as a plane touches ground, people jump out of their seats and take their luggage… and then they stand around uncomfortably for ten minutes until they get to leave.

> He confirmed that the price was the same. Hm. Unless this is a master's course that requires that you already have a different master degree, it should only cost about 500 euros for Belgian students.
