@The5thSeraph Which is what I meant. Although egoism (as in the individual has more worth than the group) is a modern thing. Yes, there were individuals who subscribed to that idea even before 1900, but they were a crass minority. Psychology actually supports the idea that for the average human...

@Hejti IIRC @Tearsax Which is usually the case with WNs and LNs.

@Hejti He blackmailed Frey into putting it on Milim, since Milim and Frey are friends.

@The5thSeraph Yes, I'm quite sure. Pre 1968 (as a general rule of thumb) it was consensus, that the society as a whole is more important than the individual in it. The most notable example is the willingness of men volunteering for armed service. We all know that there were suicides of Japanese...

@The5thSeraph From what little I have read, Genjitsushugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki handles it pretty well, as does The Holy Grail of Eris and for an older example: Ginga Eiyū Densetsu, although the latter two aren't isekai. Naturally an author who doesn't have any clue how it really was can't...

@bastyxx227 The sister is despair. Madness is the woman they met in China (Amaterasu). So far the only two pillars I cant remember them meeting is Fear and Disgust. From left to right in the last panel: Iris - Disgust - Fear - Inca (Arson Girl) - Shinra - Sho - Haumea - Amaterasu /edit...

@dethduck That's not quite applicable here. The TSP (telecom service provider) will be wholly state run, like most European TSP were. The monopoly is very much intended.

@Teasday That'd be great. The end user really only needs either the data or an error message. Additional information (status-code, HTTP version, encode, etc.) can (and should be) sent via headers. That might be, they should still return the proper error codes. A new programmer wouldn't know...

@Teasday Ah, so just a documentation not a technical issue. I'd suggest changing/clarifying that 0 is false and 1 is true. Good docs are important after all. On that note I have some issue with the API itself: 1. Data is returned in an envelope stating the HTTP-Code, the status name (the...

@Korvalus, @ShinGetsu, @Rugid, @sunshinelemons: See below for your answers @iskaeil Yeah, you don't really practice if you're getting thrown into cold water. For actually good results a controlled environment is crucial. Speed comes from precision after all. We know that Connie is a shy...

@iskaeil If you're unprepared for a situation as the reporter put Connie in it's normal to be totally steamrolled. She fired quick questions to bring Connie on the wrong track and if she had just answered to one question she would have jumped on that inquiring further and then tried to pry other...

A few questions: 1. Is there a reason why true is defined as 1 in the docs? Because in classic computer science it's false that's defined as 0 and everything else is true, unless you're in the UNIX Shell, then it's 0 being true and 1 being false. Regardless of that I'd probably constrain the...

@Stoner I never wrote that. Thanks, Sherlock -- never would've thought of that. But if you quote it, at least do it right: "correlation does not imply causation" is the phrase you're looking for. Causality and Causation refer to the same thing. And more scheming men than women, resulting in...

@Nunally The first car came 1886, which is right at the end of the period this manga portrays. We're also getting to see the story of a noble girl, of course you're not going to get to see the gritty day to day living of people working in a factory and depending on the location you won't even...

@Nunally No it isn't! One can pretty much put the timeframe of this manga post French Revolution/Regency Era until mid Victorian era, i.e. 1800 to 1860, which is way past feudalism in most western European countries, which form the basis for the manga's society.

@Nunally Only that this manga isn't set in a feudal society...

@llde That's simple statistics. Assuming that a persons abilities are normally distributed (which for all we know with our current knowledge, holds) a bigger sample size will produce more abled bodied individuals. Neurology also has shown than men tend to be more extreme in their abilities than...

@llde @eminyan Yet that's not what is displayed in this chapter. What we see is Deborah's unveiled threat (to use the guards), something she can only do because she is a countess in her own right. In your examples there would've been no need hold this "tribunal" at all. A whisper in the street...

@stretch22 You mean people won't read text the length of a short newspaper comment because their attention span has been reduced to 240 characters? Thanks Mark! Thanks Jack! Thanks Donald! They are not. Compared to literature classics like Buddenbrocks, War and Peace or Anna Karenina, all of...

@dive123 This manga portrays a society that's an amalgamation of German, English and French societies in late 18th and 19th century, with a bit post WWII mixed in. Yeah, there are some inaccuracies here and there, but this is a work of fiction not a documentary, this artistic liberty doesn't...
