They do, but then your net can get false positives. Even if unlikely, someone can have the email potent-tomatoq4@icloud.com

That is not a new phenomenon, per se. The hospitality industry was shaped by monasteries, based on the Rule of St. Benedict.

The way I read it is not to be needed for normal functionality of the team, not to "not be needed" at all. Akin to a ship's captain - for the most part a ship works without a captain just fine, but that doesn't make the

I 100% agree with the sentiment. To me, it feels like most bloggers nowadays think only in very superficial abstract idea, and then prompt ChatGPT for a blog post.

This comment is disingenuous. In everyday speech, people don’t carefully separate “the people” from “the state.” A French person talking about the U.S. usually says les Américains. A German talking about the French will just say die Franzos

Sanctions have a theoretical basis behind them. In the Western Political Philosophical Canon, leaders and elites are expected to strive for the Common Good. From that perspective, sanctions aren’t meant as “torture for fun,” (as you put it)

I don’t want to argue with you. I just want to say I understand the pain in what you wrote replying to other people. Life can make people hard, but that doesn’t make your hurt any less real. You don’t owe anyone optimism, but you also don’t

Because one of the 3 basic principles of sovereignty (as is understood by western political philosophy, known as Westphalian sovereignty) is that there is no other authority inside a State’s borders except its own. This means no other count

I bought one when I lied to myself and said I'll learn to do this in less than a minute. After 3 weeks I just got an app and solved it. Now I use it as a motivation tool to force me to close all my rings on the Apple Watch - whenever I

You must be fun at parties... Some people do stuff just because it's fun, not to be the best of the best. If you only do something to be the best, why do anything at all?

Some IDEs have gotten slightly less frustrating with better processors: e.g. Xcode, which in my opinion deserves the star rating it has in the mac App Store

I’m in Europe, but the first thing I said to the renters of my Grandmother’s house was “here’s the keys, these are all the copies, but feel free to change the lock if it makes you feel more comfortable”. People need to feel safe in their ow

Garden leave also happens in Portugal, but only when the relation between employer and employee deteriorated to the point of no return. As an example in the same company I had a co-worker layed off with 3 months notice, while in the previou

I don’t see a problem with someone publishing 5 great papers early in their career and nothing else. I mean what were the meaningful publications from Oppenheimer in his later years? Or Einstein? Publishing should be done when it matters, n

Well, Apple is trying a 'do as I say, not as I do' approach, which isn't exactly working. For example I got an Apple Music notification the other day telling me how awesome the new Classic Music App is, or how the new season

Or that, thinking logically, if you pull yourself by your bootstraps, you either don’t move or fall down.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t a double positive just a positive while a double negative is a positive? Opt-in by default: you are in You can’t not select opt-in: you are in

This is true even among western languages. For example, it’s basically impossible for any other western european speaker to say the Portuguese ão sound. First thing I did in my company, which is mostly German, was to abbreviate my name, in

I wonder if it’s different where you are (I assume US) compared to me (EU). I’ve used McDonald’s self checkout in Portugal, Spain, Ireland, and Germany, and although they aren’t deserving of any awards they’re functional.

I think both answers are referencing the Central Limit Theorem, that states [simplified] that once you get over 30 samples for each independent variable, you will get a normal distribution.

I fail to understand your point. What kind of feature do you to be excited to see in a product that is 16 years old? Do you think the and thing when you buy a new dishwasher, a couch, a chair? That it’s mediocre? Smartphones are not the fut

If that’s the worst you think it can happen, you lack imagination. I Myanmar fingerprinting helped the military find dissidents, the the US Cambridge Analytica managed to get enough data to influence an election, and there’s many more examp

'Absence of evidence is not evidence os absence' is a mantra that was instilled in me when I was trying to figure out my uni undergraduate and went with history for a year. This was also a center point in Historiography, and how,

I think any kind of career move, be it freelance, corporate or anything in between, has risks. You shouldn’t regret the decision you made if when you made them you used the best information available to you - no one can predict the future.

The same reason no one talks Esperanto in their day to day. Just because it's easier doesn't make it the right thing to do.

Wouldn't everything heavier than Iron be older? IIRC, gold for example is generated when stars go supernova, which implies all gold on Earth existed before the solar system formed.
