I'm not saying this with any certainly, just suggesting that it's a possibility: in the early days of cell phone service, people had to pay a fixed amount for each SMS sent (and, I believe, received as well)--perhaps…
This is quite a surprise. Germany is currently reeling from poor economic conditions including high inflation rates, skyrocketing energy costs, a measure of pessimistic disillusionment vis-a-vis their elected…
Interestingly, race relations were at their peak in 2008. The trends of seeing racism everywhere and reading it into everything, people's personal views (notably, those of minority respondents, many of whom viewed race…
All Affinity software (AFAIK) these days makes extensive use of 3D graphics hardware. The problems you're experiencing may be due to insufficient systems memory, or perhaps insufficient video memory. The reason I'm…
Affinity was accepting and incorporating so much feedback from users like myself after releasing version 1 of their software suite--which were subsequently added to incremental versions that were free of charge, up to…
I wanted to say that what you say seems to confirm your claim regarding your past. But the last thing you stated makes me wonder. It's not that I'm calling you a liar; it's just that you seem to gloss over one of the…
It's not a matter of "deserve" and "right to." What use is having a site, that places an artificial hurdle for no acceptable reason? What use is having visitors rage-close the tab they opened for one's website, in…
It's a bit ironic, that most of the text on that site is too small to read on a smartphone, for my aging eyes.
..."irregardless," anyone? :-)
Given how well the porn industry does regardless of the rest of the economy, it would be interesting to see how they would do if a sizeable portion of "users" actually paid for their services. Enterprising individuals…
If you're from the US, then they're the same thing. For the average person (again, from the US), it means an inflation rate more directly coupled to money supply (i.e. the opposite of how it was in the past; some of…
They've no more "reproduced" his copyrighted content, than a student studying photography or other art did, when they saw the picture online and made a mental note to imitate aspects of what they thought made the…
Population replacement rate is 2.1 children per woman--meaning, in order for a population's size to remain the same, on average child births have to come out to 2.1 for every woman. All Western countries have been well…
I remember the day when the car I'd been driving in college finally broke down sufficiently that the various repairs exceeded the value of the car. By that time, I'd been working for well over a year, and my 18 mile /…
Here is a bulleted GPT summary of the "Practical Validity" section of the "g factor" Wikipedia article (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics) ): -General intelligence (g) is the best predictor of job…
The Pacific, for one, meaning control of shipping lanes—and with these, economic/political leverage over Japan (which, as internal PLA documents for senior staff have already revealed, they intend to put to full use).…

It's not as if it's a hard limit, and you become incapable of absorbing additional facts beyond a certain point. If anything, the human mind seems best adapted to ongoing learning, as it seems to store (and discard)…
That doesn't make any sense. How can spending hours and days doing something you love result in reducing the fun in it? It's like a child having a favorite video game, but then limiting the hours they spend on it, on…
This person does not "love" programming, and statements like "Our uni doesn’t have any for actual coding courses" (in response to needing to solve more actual problems) or "I have purchased the clean code book that I am…
There's no list (comprehensive or otherwise), but FIRE's (www.thefire.org) work relates specifically to freedom of speech-related issues on college campuses that receive any sort of federal funding and are at least…
Wrong turn? Rat race? Compared to what? Your ancestors 200 years ago were malnourished, working the fields all day to eke out a miserable existence, never enjoying a single luxury in life. They didn't know how to read…
The Global Forecast System (GFS), i.e. the model presently used at NCEP, has a grid resolution of 18 miles (28 km). It is (has been, for years, actually), the second best global forecast system, right behind the…
