> 20 dB represents a change of a factor of 10 in amplitude (volts), while 40 dB is a factor of 100, 60 dB a factor of 1000, and so on. I always thought it was 10dB, or one B that was a change of factor 10. Have I missed something?

It probably isn't the same institutions.. Or, to be clear, it isn't. For this to be turned into a law it would need to go through several steps, and currently there really isn't any reason to think that it will. Maybe this is

I don't really understand your comment. Are the group that you are calling "snowflakes" people who want there to be a system in place to remove people from a project, or is it the opposite?

Just out of curiosity, when you spent 9 hours at work, was that in a software field? If so, why would you choose to do the same thing 18 hours a day for 5 years?

As a European, I mostly just find it interesting that americans have such an extremely black/white view of free speech.

Or read the nymag article, and find out that it is a quote from peter thiel, not something an editor made up....

But there is still a common language in the us. And national TV-networks with lots of viewers in both those states. Neither of those are true for Europe. I would argue that it is fair to say that the US is more homogeneous than Europe, espe

I have never been to Croatia or Poland, but of course you are right in that there are European countries where religion has a more central role than in other European countries. But, how common is it really in Croatia or Poland to use chris

You are right, we Europeans still have more we need to do before we are truly secular. But, I still find this funny.

take the first line/vector, then just call that line/vector "first-new-dimension". Then take the second line/vector, and decide that this vector can be written as a 2-dimensional vector made out of "first-new-d

How do you feel about regular smileys? I would argue that smileys are useful for the reasons you stated, but do you really need to use the emoji icons instead of building your own with regular characters such as :) ?

I can't really comment on the quality of the code, my reason for going opnsens over pfsense is mainly because the company that owns pfsense seem to be real asshats. But, looking at: https://docs.opnsense.org/development

This is probably some joke that I just don't understand, but just to be clear: Are you saying that there either was no tsunami or that the NSA created the tsunami as a cover to buy harddrives?
