Even in developed countries I'm not sure this approach makes sense. Switching to grains and pulses for protein is viable. It's the lifestyle habits, including food preparation and flavour profiles, that are difficult to change. Em

Building a _new_ hackintosh is easy, and requires very little messing around if you follow sensible guidelines. It generally gets messy after a few years and several OS updates. There are generally less users on forums with the same hardwar

Are you saying the kids could have been sealed in plastic/latex bags that are flexible enough for the kids to move on their own, and filled with air? What about punctures, buoyancy, &/or suffocation, to name a couple of hurdle

For anyone who's done even a little diving, sedation sounds a lot kinder than teaching the kids to cave dive, let alone under those circumstances.

freecodecamp.org is pretty good at taking a practical approach to learning programming, primarily with JavaScript. But if your friend wants to also understand the basics of computer science it's worth considering doing both.

I ended up making my own notation early on, for exactly the same reason. Adding to the difficulty is that some native speakers will enthusiastically correct your tone by over emphasiszing and embellishing their words (with trailing tones, a

Japanese is usually more difficult than Cantonese? Really? As an English native speaker who has learnt some rudimentary Cantonese I find this hard to believe.

Not sure what you mean by "institutionally scared of non white immigrants". In 2014/15 the vast majority of immigrants were from Asia: https://www.border.gov.au/ReportsandPublications/Documents/s..

That seems like a problem that only the US could have. Still, less guns on both sides seems more likely to succeed than disarming only the police.

It's not a problem in Australia/NZ either.

Was the officer in the article invited into the backyard? When police jump the fence I'm not sure stopping at the front door helps.

Or maybe disarm the population a little so that police don't feel like they're in an arms race?

Is there any reason that you chose MIT OCW exclusively, as opposed to other universities or MOOCs? Also, how did you decide which psets or labs to do, and which to skip?

I'm reading Code right now. It really is a fantastic read.
25.
by martalist 9y ago
Yes and no. Many of the MOOCs provided by the likes of MIT, Stanford, Berkley, etc, are not watered down. For lesser known providers the quality of content is less certain. I think a standard in terms of grading would be a huge win.

by martalist 9y ago
I can't argue with #3 - some MOOC graders are particularly terrible, too. However, there's nothing to stop a person studying just as many topics/subjects online, and to cover them in about as much depth.

> There are other reasons Tesla started with a high-end model. True, I didn't mean to imply it was the only reason - more that it's good example of appealing to human self-interest to fix a larger problem.
