0.1% of a year is 8h45m. Or did you mean 99.99% SLA?

I think in Belgium and Netherlands most people are brought up to ride bicycles at a young age. You're only allowed to drive at the age of 18, so a bicycle is how you get around as a teenager. It helps that those are dense countries so

Can you look elsewhere? Most _users_ of Google Cloud are not the decision makers and can't move to, say, AWS. Consumers can more easily make that choice since they're not part of a hierarchy.

Well. They were at least keeping track of it to be able to show it to youngsters :) I’m happy I didn’t bite though. Friends of me did and I don’t envy the 80 hour weeks they worked.

I know Bain consulting has an internal “benchmark”. It tracks the stock performance of the companies that they consult for and compare that to eg sp500. They showed this during a recruiting event once.

If that 30% includes the rent and maintenance of your store, as well as the checkout employees. And imagine that you are selling goods with almost zero marginal cost. Does it still sound that bad? Anyway, metaphors fail to help understand t

Some westerners don't identify strongly with a specific country. I am one of those. We might consider the "good" of "all" people above the good of our country. When that is your mindset, voting for policies that fav

I'm sorry, but I think you are in the 1% of world population. From the article, 11% of world population took at least 1 flight, so when it talks about 1% of the population, they are talking about the 10% most frequent flyers. With 6 co

I learned RoR from the wonderful Agile Web Development with Rails (2nd edition). David Black’s “Ruby for Rails” and a little later “Eloquent Ruby” helped me to better grasp the difference between Ruby the language and Rails the framework. I

1 in 8 humans is a PC gamer? That can’t be right. Most people are too young or too old. Most live in low-income. Most don’t have the time or interest to game. Even between my friends & family, I’d say less than 10% is a PC gamer. And I’

Sorry to correct your math here, but going from 6 hours (6*60=360 minutes) to 4 minutes is a 90x improvement, not 900x.

Are you a “different” person while on Ritalin? My wife’s a teacher and these days a lot of kids are on Ritalin. She says the kids that “need” it are more manageable when taking it, but it does change their personality. They are less... “liv

I’d say that the Spanish clinical trial does point towards causality. They gave a randomized group of patients Vitamin D and compared the outcomes. Correct me if I’m wrong but that seems like the best way to test for causality. https:&#x2F

While you’re not wrong. I often see comments like this when new studies come out. I think most people here know that correlation doesn’t mean causality. However in the case of Vitamin D, there’s a lot of studies pointing towards Vitamin D

Correct. The sample population was also limited. IIRC the main conclusion of the study is that larger scale studies should be conducted. Every study has limitations. Do you feel that the limitations you stated mostly invalidate the study? N

Vitamin D is extremely cheap, so I assume it is very easy to manufacture. It's also freely available in a lot of different stores. So I doubt there would really be a shortage. Additional data point: In Belgium, it's encouraged to
