My understanding is that they don't 'suck' as such (like a mosquito), but rather create a wound and lap at the blood which emerges.

> Personally I would check my providers website/status page in such circumstances. I hate than many providers now consider updates to Twitter/ Other social media sufficient and do not bother to publish to their own website!

The French system, with its two rounds system has a built-in protection against extremism and to encourage compromise. The UK is also a FPTP system, but has strong parties outside of the two main, for instance in the last general election o

To be pedantic (which could be a slogan of this website) then depending on how you define eating, there will be a small number of people who don’t ‘eat’ food (I.e. consume via mouth), but must have it inserted directly into their stomach.

Assuming this is true: "Apple’s lawyers said that, and also said that they didn’t want De Rosa to stop posting; “we’d rather talk through the nuances of the issue and ideally find a reasonable solution that works for everyone.”" T

Sorry - I was lazy and just asked ChatGPT for "how many German postal codes are there"!

Apparently the worst case in the opposite direction is the University of Warwick, where a single postcode (CV4 7AL) covers 5000 individual residences (so probably about 5000 people given these are likely to all be student rooms, and sharing

Replacing one proprietary database with another? Is that truly useful?

I was impressed when I first heard about the objectives of the Eircode system, but it seems the implementation is lacking.

Some context, for people not located in the UK - A full British postcode typically aims to cover around 15 buildings (sometime a single building, sometimes a street of 50 houses). This is in contrast to many other postal code systems which

> It's a book, not a web page! That's a distinction you are making - that books cannot or should not be updated, whilst web pages can/should be. It's no longer intrinsic to the nature of a book as a digital text. Perh

But an advantage of digital texts could be that you buy a text in 2024, and it shows you all revisions of the text from 1948 to 2024…

There is a difference between consciously erasing the past in the 1984-novel style, and re-releasing an updated version of a book. The important thing being that the original texts are still available - we aren't seizing original editi

It depends on the book. If it is a novel, then clearly not. A fact-book, that lists the current heads-of-state of all world nations, then possibly yes. It's ultimately a decision for the author/publisher for each book. Is this a

I think the assumption that having a Fitbit, or other fitness device increases movement and activity levels in under-18s needs confirmation. In fact, to be honest I'd not be convinced that it works even in over-18s.

I think the total number of code-names grids possible is something like 210 344 706 000, so the 40 cards (plus 4 rotations, so 160 possible grids) are only a tiny, tiny fragment of those possible. But it does mean that defeating the bot wou

Isn't there a fourth failure case - that they have failed to make it into the drum in the first place? Maybe not a huge issue for yourself, but can occur in my workflow. This is the one which annoys me most, and so I have to have a &#x

To me that data looks sufficiently messy that I wouldn't feel comfortable concluding much, beyond that running is less efficient at lower speeds.

I don’t drink coffee. Did I pass? Seriously though, it’s not a good question since it depends not only on the person, but also on the organisation. Sometimes the right response is to try and fix it, sometimes to report it to office manageme

It’s maybe less so in the digital era, but certainly before 2000-or-so so you needed to republish books and songs.

I'm a little confused by your comment - Airlines do re-use flight numbers - BA988 is always the BA flight from LHR to BER at around 19:30 (i.e. there will be a BA988 today, there was one yesterday, and there will be another tomorrow).

by NeoTar 2y ago
I wonder if I see an earlier version of this problem - I take the flight BA988 from London to Berlin a few times a year, and in some systems it will appear as BA0988 - possibly because some can handle 3 digit and some neee 4 digit flight nu

Inverting the names makes sense. Wikipedia: Oxygen > Lavoisier renamed 'vital air' to oxygène in 1777 from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys) (acid, literally 'sharp', from the taste of acids) and -γενής (-genēs) (producer,
