Not really, not in English and not in Spanish or Portuguese. "Next Wednesday" means "Next week's Wednesday" in all cases. It's not ambiguous.

That's because "next", and "this" refers not to the day but to the week. It's the same in some latin languages as well and I think it makes sense, you are already naming the day with "Friday" if you a

Excuse me, how do you know that 7% of all woman are raped if only 14% of those cases go to trial and if only 50% of those cases result in conviction? The only real data that you provided is that 5.25% of all claimed rapes (1 x 75% x 14% x 5

People are downvoting you just like devs dismiss your bug reports about the issue, but I can tell it is exactly the same for me: Firefox on MacOS is extremely slow and uses too much CPU. People can blame mine (and many others) particular

What's going on is that this is just showing what any sane people already knew: any kind of commercial transaction must be backed up by actual real life laws or sooner or later one of the parts gets ripped off. Nobody can - or I would

I guess you can say that Ethereum is also in the "strong and stable" category.

Well, I'm guessing it will have something similar to the digital viewfinder you see in modern cameras. If you use that together with a medium range camera and some basic computing (or dedicated chip) to stack and remove noise from imag

What surprised me in this article is that people still gather to play Pokemon Go. I personally never got into the game, while my cousin was totally into it, but where I live (which is a medium city for Europe), the fad has totally passed in

I think this in fact comes from this engineering of language in order to pass some agenda. You create something that is really not science and call it social "sciences" and then you put inside those stuff like economics and all th

It shows promise but it's still a bit in its infancy. It lacks (or lacked a couple of months ago when I last tried it) functionality that I deem indispensable, like putting and importing all the movies from the same directory (it wants

Hum, no. If you you drink someone's blood it goes trough your digestive system and it's processed that way, it doesn't become your blood, just provides you some nutrients. Besides you do that almost everyday, i.e. eat animals

I see, so there is actually no amount of data that is able to refute your narrative. Well, that's the magic of social "sciences", you may dismiss all data as much as you want in order to fit your pre conceived ideas. So I mus

Care to explain how pointing facts is an ideological flamewar? Can you actually point any falsehood in my comments? Thank you.

This title is very odd, I suggest an edit: Research is unable to prove that working more than 40 hours a week increases productivity.
