But you have excellent trains in that area! Ok Antwerp-Lille has a change in Bruxelles, but you still can do the trip in under 90 minutes.

This would require some discussion of international wealth and income distribution, but to me the injustice is not at the state level here, but rather in the fact itself that India is a third world country. The Indian upper-middle class sho

My point was that you are assuming some sort of libertarian viewpoint where nation-states trying to tax your money are fundamentally corrupt/socialist. I personally tend to think that in the vast majority of cases govt spending of tax

First of all the word you're looking for is haven (as in a harbor), not heaven. Secondly, are you saying that bitcoin exists solely for the purpose of money laundering and tax evasion?

Then it's probably in decimal form. The binary representation should compress much better :)

1. Do they still make them? I know they still sell them, but given that they have been unchanged for 5 years... 2. I would say assembled rather than produced (if I buy components and assemble a PC at home is it produced in Italy?)

You make all these sweeping claims, yet in Norway 37% of the population works in the public sector (compare with around 50% in Belarus and China), taxes are very high, and inequality is very low according to most measures. Another point a T

I don't think that even vertical pianos come even close to any electric I played. The stringed one keys just feels different and it has a lot more nuance in sound. Maybe I have never played a really high end one, but in the same price

No engineering track though... Also you need to pass a highly competitive exam to get in and it's really somewhat a graduate programme, since you're supposed to get in one year before the master starts, not right after high school

Those are not strikes though, just social movements /s (there are two distinct expressions to denote a strike in French, one for when the right is holding power, one for when the left is)

I don't know about the US, but I've never heard of any market in Europe where you can get more than 10% of the cost annually. I think on this side of the pond 4-5% is typical. Also I think comparing to the stock market is a bit di

The article says: I am doing experimental work where I really need to have double precision i.e. FP64. The Titan V offers the same stellar FP64 performance as the server oriented Tesla V100.

Funnily enough I once got into a fight with the owner of a bar, who had an happy hour where the pinte would sell for the price of the demi (half pint). However the demi was the same size of the pint served in thicker glasses. He claimed tha

FWIW in Italian we use etto for 100 g (useful for buying prosciutto) and quintale for 100 kg (mostly for shipping). AFAIK in Germany dag for 10 g is common.

Nitpick: you write 0C and 32F, but 273.15°K. It's actually 0°C and 32°F, but 272.15 K.

FWIW I specced out a T480s and I got something that in terms of RAM wasn't even available on macs at the time (24 GB), weights under 1.5kg, has HDMI, ethernet USB and USB-C, a matte HIDPI display and a proper keyboard (and it came out

To be fair I always thought MiniKanren was supposed to be more of a tutorial than a full fledged prolog. I once tried my hand at 'porting' it to Mathematica: it's been mostly an exercise in adapting the semantics rather than

I think there is something misleading about comparing high cuisine with middling cuisine. Like when people compare French and British cuisine: the former developed as the cuisine of kings in the 16-17th century and then kind of trickled dow

> nokia 8110 Bought one yesterday, I have to say that KaiOS is still veeeery immature, so far very far behind series 40/60 nokias. If you can find a Nokia 208 or 515 which are the last they made with 3G+ you might be better off.

I don't know if this applies, but every time I travel in the US I'm amazed by the size of the portions when eating out compared to Europe/Asia. Could this be a factor?

In many cases that is possible when the dig was financed by another institution. The 4000 yo Egyptian "dioramas" they have on display at the met have been split between NYC and Cairo, because it was an American-led archaeological

It's also that the Romans thought they were going to be around forever so they built everything to last. If you look at the Colosseum, it looks the way it is because it was willfully destroyed and used for construction material over ce

Why did you buy it then? I think that all the marketing of "touchscreen: oooh shiny!" is working, and there is very little we can do about bad interfaces unless we vote with our feet.
