I can't recall exactly which puzzles correspond to which game, but there are absolutely puzzles that require a decent amount of speed and dexterity. To the point where my wife got totally stuck on some because she's slow with a mouse.

Like firing portals while in midair, or catching a cube as you pass it during a jump.

Yes, same with "diversity" for cellular diversity in the brain. Millions of dollars of grant money withdrawn.

Totally agree, it was a simple bold design that looks to done by hand. What a low bar we are moving to.

On a positive note, I think I found her artistic portfolio online and it's absolutely beautiful. She can rest easy knowing she has 1000x the talent of the AI slop winner.

I fear in both cases, its not a lack of understanding of elevators but of common sense...

There is an incredible amount of evidence for creatine being beneficial for making you stronger/muscle growth. Which is probably the primary reason it's sold. So it's not as if it's not studied or there are no known effects of supplements.

It's not very comprehensive at all, the regions I know well in France are missing almost all of the actual castles. The site lists 180ish castles in France, when it's estimated there are 45,000 castles + chateaus in reality. Of course this depends on your exact definition of castle.

I wonder if it's only scraping english language Wikipedia articles?

Authorized/unauthorized simply describes whether the subject works with the author or not. It's just the common terminology for it.

Even quite a bit cheaper than that, I buy 1000g of creatine for $30 USD, which is 15 cents per 5g serving. I think it's a no-brainer for most people.

This article isn't PR for the Iranian regime, it highlights how unstable and non-business friendly the region is. If anything it's a warning...

Refusing to accept a culture of optics is tantamount to not understanding optics though. The reality is that if you work on any kind of product, optics do matter - the perception of something working is often just as important as it actually working.

The Galaxy S7 definitely had this feature.

The problem is, it was basically useless. The main use case for heart rate monitoring is continuously throughout the day/night, or during exercise. A watch is very good at this. An optical sensor on the back of your phone is not.

Periodically checking your heart rate by holding your phone in a specific way is not a useful feature for that many people.

"Still, if exposed to the high humidity present in some parts of the US (less common in Italy)"

Italy is basically a massive peninsula and some islands - it's quite humid! The humidity in Parma itself today is 65%, which is the same as Miami, Florida today and more than New Orleans. it's fall in Italy, and in Palermo it's 80% humidity, in Bergamo 84%, Bologna 83% etc.

I kindly invite you to visit the kitchens of undergraduate house-shares. I think you may soon appreciate there are "tragedy of the commons" situations happening all the time :)

Certainly not a sustainable amount if every class is giving a similar workload.

Crime and Punishment alone is over 500 pages.

With 5 classes assigning a book each, that's 2500 pages a week, or 357 pages every single day.

I certainly did not read that much during my undergrad nor my master's degree.

Perhaps the expectations on students are a bit unreasonable?

"Twenty years ago, Dames’s classes had no problem engaging in sophisticated discussions of Pride and Prejudice one week and Crime and Punishment the next."

Reading Crime and Punishment alone is estimated to take about 11-12 hours at 300WPM. Then consider your average student is taking 4 or 5 classes per semester? If they all assigned that much reading, that would be 60 hours a week of just reading, not even including time to process what's being read, or write assignments, revise etc.
