I read this in Leonard Nimoy's voice, from narrating Civilization IV.

But quality is strongly associated with brand. Showing off the logo might be taboo, but everyone can tell the difference between an IKEA kitchen and a Funkiskök.

More like, continue living in a sketchy neighbourhood because all the thieves go to the newer, more polished neighbourhoods anyway.

It is controversial to put into system letting people sell their bodies to make ends meet.

Pretty sure it should be kWh / 100 km

It is unintuitive to me why the rational numbers are dense in the reals, since rational numbers are countably infinite, as opposed to the reals. I think infinity is hard to grasp.

I don't think it explains "How" either, in this case.

So a proton can emit a positron. Does that mean that the positron is somehow "part" of the proton? Does it mean that their wave functions interact in some specific way? Is there another reason? Quantum physics has always bothered

I am reading this as "it has to be this way, or the model does not hold", but it does not explain why. What causes it? Consistency of a model cannot be the ultimate reason, right?

Fun, but extremely unpleasant. The more stressed I get the more difficult it is to relax my eyes and see the pattern.

Are we? How? Because the curvature is flat?

This is probably politically incorrect, but there was always a path to end crime, just like there was and is a path to end slavery and collective punishment. That path is kindness: get a job, don't feel the urge to commit a crime, avoi

The IPA of chair also contains a t though: /t͡ʃɛə(ɹ)/ I think it makes sense. To me there is a clear difference between chair and sheet, where chair starts with the sound of a t. Same thing with Ч.

It's cheaper to raise kids since you would already have paid the cost in taxes if you didn't get kids. The important metric is the difference in cost of having kids vs not having kids, and since daycare is heavily subsidized, the

I think the relative isolation is one of the smallest challenges related to colonizing Mars.

Nicely done! Not sure I could tell this was not just another HN post if you didn't explicitly say so.

It's really quite amazing. Inspired by your example, I tried to make it create something which nobody could have thought about before: Write a deep poem about life, death, and the website Rotten Tomatoes The result: Life is a fleeti

She was found not guilty of that. You can't say "equal crimes equal times" when the crimes are in fact not equal.

On a slightly related note, whenever I see a generated face with other faces in the background, and those faces are warped in strange ways, I get a very unpleasant sensation, like a chill going up my spine. Does anyone else get this? Exampl

That's interesting - I have subtitles on at all times (I am Swedish, we never dub adult content so I have used subtitles for a very long time), but when I do watch children's movies with my kids, they are dubbed, and then I find h

I liked this because it uses a method to prove something which seems very disconnected from the initial problem.

It also works if you are more than one. Me and my wife have used it for several years now to sync shopping lists between us, to great effect.

In Sweden, prostitution is illegal, but not selling sex. Instead, the buyer is the one breaking the law. I think this makes more sense, because the prostitutes will not need to fear reaching out for help to get out of the situation.

Reading things like this gives me chills. The idea that we as a species, and especially our lives as individuals, are such tiny specs in the timeline of the universe is obviously true but feels emotionally absurd.

I always thought of it more as a reference to the Gnomes of Zürich than to Jewish people.

I find this comparison strange. Yes, a restaurant should not be allowed to not serve Jews. But they should be allowed to not serve _a_ Jew, if the Jew in question breaks their rule of conduct. Like the case with Trump and Twitter.
