I don't really understand the point of the article. How does this research “dispels a biological concept of race”? >“If you ask somebody on the street, ‘What are the main differences between races?,’ they’re going to say skin color,

I don't really understand significance of this insight easier. Floating point number is just stored in scientific notation base 2. That's it. And kids learn scientific notation in 7th grade? 8th tops. I mean, swap base 2 to base 1

The EU is my last hope. Out of all governments and international entities, the EU is the only one I have a stretch of confidence in. The fact that Google and Amazon are located in the US means that the EU has nothing to lose if they want to

It is the job of the justice system to understand whether he is guilty or not. I think that if a company fires a person for a claim of sexual assault that wasn't proved, this person is justified to sue the fuck out of the company for f

If I understood the letter correctly, what Uber did was not illegal. And if I understand how police works in most countries, if you report a crime to police they are obliged to investigate it So my point stands. If you think that people sho

Is "furthermore" scientific jargon? I thought it is just a professional version of "moreover". Like, I would say "moreover" to a friend, but write "furthermore" in a letter.

I never understand what is wrong with "whataboutism". When someone pretends that he has a moral highground, it is a reasonable thing to call them out on it. If you dont't want a conversation to be "derailed", stop m

It is not a verb form. It is just a short form. Both forms can be used as predicates but have different meanings. For example, "ты болен" and "ты больной" both mean "you are sick", but in the first case it mean
