You have some deep misconceptions about science, but state them with certainty anyway, and garner upvotes for this.

OK, I'm done with this forum.

We can and do make nonhuman mammals sit and repeatedly do tasks all day even when rewarded. Neuroscience behavior experiments in rats, mice, and apes are exactly this.

Humans are considered much less exceptional than they were in the 1950s.

I'd say our big edge over other species is the scale of our social networks. For example, apes can have economies where they trade currency, but that economy is going to be limited to a single tribe.

In terms of character count, it takes fewer characters to convey an idea in Japanese than in English.

You see this in NES/SNES-era game translations. Both versions of the game had to use the same number of characters. So the level of detail in English is quite low compared to the original.

Recently, modders have hacked the English versions of the games to add variable-width fonts to achieve more true translations. Breath of Fire 2 is a good example.

...in Myanmar, for a specific use case.

Every decision you make is made under a great deal of uncertainty. A person typically holds overarching beliefs that govern those decisions.

For example, how much value do you put into close relationships versus distant ones? Is charity worthwhile if it helps someone who can't help you back? Maybe someone who doesn't even know you?

The Cory Doctorow book "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" (readable for free online) captures the duality of Disney very well.

On one hand, it produces brilliant, creative, high quality work, and makes it accessible to everyone. On the other hand, it's quite willing to destroy everyone else's work in order to ensure it stays on top.

The fire department and police department are separate entities.

Subdividing the police department could work.

That's an extreme way to phrase it, but possibly yes.

If you read the article, you will see that the cognitive effects of covid-19 are not only for critically ill cases. Figure 3B, specifically, shows cognitive effects of milder covid-19 cases.

According to another study, covid-19 can infect brain tissue specifically: https://www.altex.org/index.php/altex/article/view/1924

That may be why it is particularly dangerous to brains, more so than other viruses.

Note that this is an opinion piece. The WSJ does not make its flamebait editorial section look especially different from its excellent reporting section.

The syntax differences are indeed minor. But dependencies are not.

If you have a large python2 project with 100 dependencies, will all of those have python3 versions? And will they be compatible with each other in the ways your current dependencies are?
