Volume doesn't seem to have been particularly high in 2014, though. Here's a graph of estimated ice volume since 1979: https://psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/schweige...

That's pretty much "type an ASCII representation of a reasonable pronounciation, then pick the right character from the drop-down menu". Details vary but that's the gist.

Hardly unpopular where I live. Lots of source code contains € and much else. Grepping for it in the code I worked on last week, I find non-ASCII character in dozens of tests, in some scripts that seem to be part of CI, in a comment about a

No, they're not set by the highest bidder. They're set by the tenth lowest bidder, except that the number isn't ten. If the number of suppliers needed happens to be ten, then the ten lowest bidders prevail, and the highest bi

When you put it like that, it sounds like the Orange One has no say in the matter.

That kind of nonprofit can't maintain reserves without justification. It received tax-deductible donations for a purpose and has to spend its money for that purpose. It has a lot of flexibility wrt what level of reserves are sensible i

Oh god, Paul Watson. I grew up in northern Norway, in an environmentalist family. We in the environmentalist movement would have won several battles if Paul Watson hadn't been "on our side." But he was and we lost. He's

I'm curious… if many uses cases are covered by two products, don't those two products compete? If two products compete, how can you think that they're not in the same market in any sense? To my mind, my ultralight private lap

GP talked about the choices of device manufacturers. If device manufacturers consider the sales potential for a new laptop model, are they going to ignore the competition by tablets? How about convertibles or tablets with a keyboard? Consum

So what? Pretend that you know someone at your bank who can answer the question "what devices do people use for your online banking?" You don't need to really ask, you already know the answer: For a while it was overwhelmingl

91% of what? Windows has been losing market share to tablets and macs. Anyway, if you as CTO tell the CEO that testing with Linux will get you access to x% of the market, the CEO answer will obviously depend on x. As Windows loses market sh

What's the market share of windows on laptops these days, 20% perhaps? I don't know, but I know that Chromebooks and Macos are ahead, far ahead. Once upon a time, there were fifty times as many Windows laptops as Linux (by which I

Which, I guess, contributes to school's problems today. Underpaying when you have many excellent applicants may be a problem for the employees, but not for the organization. If you get used to underpaying and the supply of excellent ca

It's an odd election. A majority of votes went to parties that don't seem to care much about the basic cycle of politics: hold an election, vote, form a government, govern, repeat.

Opposition to some basic aspect of the state. In this case, that the police should follow orders and treat everyone equally. Which doesn't quite happen in practice, but wanting unequal treatment is a no-no.

Thanks, that's very useful. I wonder whether that final exception is intended to cover the kind of end-to-end encryption Signal does, or rather the kind of end-to-end encryption the Netflix app does. Digital rights management. It'

"Old money" is one way to put it. It seems to be dominated by pension funds and people's savings. Please don't put your savings into Vanguard's famous index fund — Vanguard currently has 7.47% of the shares and you

Sorry, that was unclear. I expected to see what the charges are. Has played a role, sure, enough to talk about it in public, but I expected to see what the prosecutor thought would be enough for a court.

Strange. 48% is a lot, and the difference indicates that there may be design problems. By design problems I mean... For a while my bank's ATM gave me only large-denomination notes and the bus company's machine didn't accept t

Sigh. Yet another study that basically says "if your diet is drastically imbalanced in favour of meat, a different drastically imbalanced diet will be better for you".

Someone on HN wrote that 96% of gas in the US is burned in urban driving and 4% in rural. I assume it means that people in LA have longer commutes than ones in rural Minnesota.
