This project started in 2006 and from what I can find, cost estimates have not changed much. The initial range was 6 to 12 billion Euros at 2006 prices. Converted to $ and adjusted for inflation, $11B is right in the middle of that range.

I believe this is a remnant of some complications with regards to taxation in an international context, similar to duty-free shopping. Another consideration may be the consequences of possibly diverging tax rates for kerosene: if it's

Once you grow up, you'll stop just trying to score points. And the only one pretending anything here is those that feel their "just the facts" attitude to life is somehow superior. Like, riddle me this: if you're such a

What a mad phantasy... Undermining your closest allies' economy to win the war? And, no, it cannot confiscate the oil and, even if it would, most of the energy comes to Europe in the form of natural gas, which is moved by pipeline. So,

Wikidata and Wikibase, the software it runs on, are expanding it into a "federated" network of knowledge stores. You can, for example, link from wikidata to some other instances of the software and query them transparently. It&#x2

I'll take the attempted insult. But at no point do you approach anything that would fall under the definition of "sarcasm", unless you're trying to agree with me. You're so far away from even mere irony that there

Excel is by far the most successful programming language and IDE. People love to hate it (and the people using it), which is somewhat misguided: there is simply no way to change people (and they keep making new ones), so telling them that w

MacOS is the perfect example: it's both easy to use and the preferred choice by many professionals. "Hold on", you say, "professionals want options , like user-expandable RAM etc". No, that's the misconception

There just isn’t much software that works on Big Sur but not Monterey, if any. It’s not like a windows 95 to XP update. With yearly OS releases, the ecosystem is somewhat more up-to-date and resilient to typical changes.
