febra_··on Talking with the inventor of C++ [video]
That youtube channel surely is a.. ride. Makes me question the legitimacy of these videos
febra_··on Linear Algebra Done Right – 4th Edition
I have this book. It's been more than great. I fully recommend it to anyone looking for a quick and simple introduction to linear algebra

febra_··on Milk Tea Addiction
This has to be a parody.

I get that you can try to calculate some level of correlation, sure. But to jump straight to "aiding policy makers to restrict advertisement and access to" is making some insanely huge implications that haven't been covered at all in the study. Like the fact that milk tea (bubble tea) consumption might cause some of these symptoms. Let's not confuse causality with correlation here.

febra_··on Artificial intelligence can revolutionise science
It's just the Economist. I wouldn't expect more from them.
febra_··on Reduction of sulfur emissions from ships may be causing rising sea temperatures
> while putting a substantial portion of GDP into building nuclear reactors and removing carbon from the atmosphere.

So, the first one taking decades and the second one being a meme """solution""" for the science illiterate?
