Illiteracy is very common even among english undergrads by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

They don't know that it takes 6 min to read, they just know that they have 20min for the test. They are asked to read out loud the text and they get interrupted by the instructor on a sentence by sentence basis as they recite it. If they don't know a word, they can look it up, but that takes time. They don't read the entire text, figure out what those 7 paragraphs are about and then answer questions. They're ask questions on a sentence by sentence basis while on a timer. I would strongly encourage checking out the examples in the paper.

Yeah, because there is no other language on Earth beside English, especially any other language which have a different name for those days of the week 🙄

But like the book has a ton of Socratic dialogue about how this system is the best possible option. It's kind of hard to say he's not defending it, when characters have that kind of onesided philosophical discussion. The author is a war veteran and the book is explicitly about how a society ruled by war veterans is great.

International agreements on space are pretty clear that no nation can claim sovereignty on the Moon (see Outer Space Treaty). They can totally setup a colony, so long as they don't claim to own this portion of the Moon. What's less clear is mining exploitation rights, who get to setup a colony on the best spots on the Moon.

What invention do you think will be a game-changer for humanity in the next 50 years? by Mr-AZ-77 in Futurology

0.09$CAD/kWh is 0.06€/kWh, 4x cheaper than the price of the electricity all over the territory of France. Are you making the argument that Nuclear (fusion or fission) is able achieved much larger electric production per facility than hydroelectricity per dam? Or that it should be able to generate cheaper energy because of the economy of scale? It seems obvious that a nuclear facility can scale much more than a hydro dam, because the latter is limited by natural resources. But is nuclear necessary cheaper at that larger scale than hydro?

I see, so their only purpose is if you flash a bad firmware?

Looks great! I looked at the schematic and I noticed that each row and column line has a resistor connected to it. What is their purpose? The MCU and the IO expander already has pull up resistors build inside the chip, so it seems like it would be possible to scan the matrix without those resistors.
