It's a pretty typical mistake. We are just as smart as our predecessors. We just have a much higher population, a higher % of them are well educated, and we have an enormous body of historical knowledge (as well as easy…
And yet private organizations so often want to sit on the moral perch and pet themselves about all the non-profit oriented actions they take.
This is such a peculiar, and I have to say, snobby, criticism - especially towards the last part of the article. The Gioconda is too famous and doesn't deserve the crowd it gets? Maybe. Sounds like a subjective…
This was extremely fascinating. Thanks for posting.
So this is interesting; assuming that this doesn't go to the Supreme Court or is otherwise unchanged by it, it could mean that after some states implement their own laws (and fight off the inevitable lobby/lawsuits…
This might be a personal impression, but there seems to be a reflexive (negative) response from many posters here regarding any new regulation that the EU produces. I've been trying to wrap my head about whether that's…
Do you by any chance have a link to that video, or remember the name? I'd very very curious to see it.
That's 100% been the case - I am familiar with the industry and they have been more than willing to not make any margin in order to get the clients they want (big names, or poach from the competition) That strategy…
A bit cynical, but not unfair. Many people in the US persistently cling to the idea that solution implemented and working (albeit imperfectly) in other parts of the world will not work in the US due to XYZ. Which in a…
Buying (a product) off the shelf is the right answer in many situations. But not when you are not actually buying a product.
There's a bit of longer-term reputation damage which is significant in an industry dominated by companies who tend to think over the span of decades rather than quarters. One fairly big serviced offices company pulled…
I guess Oracle's desperate attempts (to the point of suing the government) to ensure a cash cow for the next decade despite clear tech inferiority were not successful in the end
Surprisingly not that much research on this topic on the American side, but here's one. [0] Conclusion: there's a small negative impact on the hiring of women, but it's more than compensated by women being less likely…
Strongly disagree. What you get from MOOCs is directly proportional to how seriously you approach them. Yes, MOOCs do less handholding (aka: forcing adults to behave like adults) than traditional university courses. But…
If there's a cunning plan behind all of this, I cannot spot it. If there isn't...honestly this is a sad sight.
One of the reasons that Berlin is so popular is that everything works smoothly (everything is relative, of course), and it has a great, multicultural social life. Neither of these apply to Naples.
I suspect this is very much dependent on the country. My bachelor was in stats & actuarial sciences (though I never worked in the field), and in my country there's a big shortage of qualified actuaries. So the average…
Google knows all that things too, without you having to expressly tell them. Where have you been? You are constantly tracked if you have an android device. (not sure whether it also works for iOS with google maps on).…
I do struggle the reconcile this apparent lack of self awareness with the undeniable savvyness that he has shown in his life so far. Is there a method to this madness? I'd like to believe that there is, and he hasn't…
Because VR headsets have been selling for ~5 years. Comparing them with the full lifecycle of the NES sales instead of its first 5 years is not a proper comparison.
The comparison doesn't hold up when developers create solutions that in breach with the regulation of the city and country they live in.
Star Wars is not sci-fi, it's a cross between space fantasy and space opera. The list of better sci-fi movies is long.
Which leads to an interesting question: how many mixed race talented black & korean actors are there of the right gender and age?
Why do you think that? As far as I know, it was ruled for 40+ years by the self called communist party, and the means of production were owned by the state. They might not have been part of the USSR, but they were…
One regret I have about AskHistorians is that I don't get to see all the hissy fits thrown by people who don't like the strict moderation and believe their speech should be uninpeded.
