Yep, I would never carry this much on me. In most countries you need to declare such amount when crossing the border, and explain why you have it. And of course in the US any cop on the street can just take it from you, with no recourse. I

And the effect for a donkey would be probably similar to eating plastic bags: They cannot properly digest it so they suffer from malnutrition, eventually die.

Alcohol is actually one of the more potent drugs, saying "even alcohol can do it" severely underestimates its destructive power.

But you can't feed the donkey to remaining donkeys.

And when they flee they take some of their food supplies with them and hide the rest. Foraging army might be able to find some of it, but rarely all. Also, if you are in enemy territory it is entirely possible to completely miss some remote

Tatami mat size is basically a one-person bed - so you are measuring rooms in terms of how many people would be able to sleep on the floor if spaced evenly :)

Prices of electricity have spiked as well in Europe, thanks to the war in Ukraine. I just recently read an article saying that in Netherlands it's now more expensive to drive electric car than gasoline powered one.

It does not get repeated because it would suggest that sea level changes are natural, as opposed to being caused by industrial CO2 emissions, and limiting CO2 emissions is a huge business right now.

Two-factor authentication is my least favorite thing about PSD2. Back in the day I would simply memorize my credit card data, and was free to buy anything online, anytime. It also gave me confidence during the vacations abroad that if i get

I think they meant "in the West". Which makes sense: US and UK sold us to Stalin in Jalta, so they had to wipe the memory of Polish participation in WWII (or at least downplay it), so their societies could feel good about themsel

And if you take a longer weekend trip you'll need the whole next week to catch-up on charging. 11kW seems like necessity - it allows you to charge 0-100% overnight. No advance planning, no compromises required. Also, I'm curious:

Math does not work here: 8h x 2kW = 16kWh. Tesla has 60 or 100 kWh batteries. It only works if you take only short trips (like commuting to work) and never go below 70% of charge.

It has been told before, but I'll repeat it: US has such high healthcare cost, because they are pushing boundaries of what's possible in medicine, both by inventing new drugs and innovating in surgery and other forms of treatment.

MSRP will remain theoretical - due to supply chain disruptions I expect that average consumer will have to pay at least 50% more, if they are lucky enough to find those processors in stock.

Comments yes, posts no. Post downvoting either does not exist or has much higher karma threshold.

That’s because they can. Every country in the world would gladly do the same (Who doesn’t like some extra money?), they just lack the economic and military power the US have to enforce it.

That was just a consequence of internal collapse, which prevented Romans from properly defending themselves, as they successfully did in previous centuries.

To create a web browser you need some kind of rendering engine. And writing rendering engine that correctly handles current HTML, JavaScript, CSS specifications is hard. On top of that you build features like bookmarks, password manager, et

Yes, calling Gaiman "a writer" makes sense, since, even in the art forms that involve some graphical side (comic books, TV) his role usually revolves around WRITING the story. Someone else draws the comics, someone else films the

Don't know French, but I wonder if the meaning of "etage" is similar to Polish "piętro", which literaly means something like "elevation". So, basically in Polish we have a specific word for ground level, a

I've just come back from the vacation in the US, and my experience was: when the hotel has G or L for the ground floor, it still has 2 for the floor directly above it. "G or L followed by 1" never happened to me.

Well, taking a photo of just the groin, for non-medical reasons would be kind of weird. Taking a photo of the whole baby, e.g. in bath is perfectly normal, even if it also shows the groin.

No expert on algorithms, but: Sorting an array is O(n*log(n)) Hashmap operations are constant time, and walking through array to put stuff in it is O(n) So, implementation based on Hashmap should be slightly faster. It requires extra memory

Firefox is great in that regard: when you fill in a signup form it will automatically suggest you a long, generated password, and will then store it for you.

In other words: in classic PoW attacker needs to spend money on the attack, and if attack fails, they get nothing in return, they just wasted money. If PoW protocol is doing some useful work, then attacker can also benefit from that work, w

Well, the creation of fossil fuels was only possible because certain species of the bacteria did not exist yet back then. It's not like we can create new fossil fuels now. Also, no one cares about "hundreds of million of years&quo
