We got by with weather information that was hours old on the past, shouldn't be a problem now.

But they play nothing alike. The mechanics aside from the representation of the world are incredibly different.

Are you seriously saying that if scientific papers contain parts that lets us visualize their contents interactivity human being will lose the ability to think creatively?

"What is the argument for making things harder for the majority, to equalize things for the minority?"

That is an argument no one is making. What are you talking about?

It seems unlikely this would be generalizable in much of a useful way. "We conjecture that this phenomenon is universal for a class of complex dynamical systems and discuss implications." the paper says, I'd like to see more on why they think it's reasonable to conjecture that.

Didn't you know? Transferring money is generating money!

Inability to understand figurative language seems a common malady on certain parts of the internet.

Personally, "indivisible" is much worse than "under god".

The lack of anonymity and pseudonymity on Facebook is definitely a factor. Facebook works under the assumption that we have one unified "identity" to which we can and want to tie everything we do. In reality, we share different parts of ourselves with different people at different times.

I think that's probably a large reason along with two others:

They're more content focused. Twitter is about what people write, Instagram is about the pictures people take. Facebook is about... the network? Facebook is more muddled, and clarity is valued today.

Asymmetry. Yes, I know you can "like" things and get updates and you can join groups, but ultimately the relationship between two users on Facebook has to be agreed to by both.

Now where will I have to go for a keyboard and an OS not by Google?

Neither one is more correct in isolation as they mean different things.

86400 seconds.

The author keeps mentioning that "most people", but I can't find where that conclusion comes from.

And arguing that we should use two spaces to replicate a standard of longer spaces is at best a crude approximation.

I don't know if it's a difference in education systems or the individual teachers, but I didn't learn about any of those other than tangent until I entered university, and then only as a side note in a calculus text book.

If they're going to be taught, it is fair to expect the motivation for teaching them.
