If OP wishes to use Latex, they should probably use luatex or xetex - which are pretty much drop in replacements, but have unicode support. I believe the future of latex is going to be luatex.

Or use it to remove CO2?

Yes, and I think this just shows how a 3d representation on 2d gives our brain the _illusion_ of 3d. This doesn't work for 4d, because our brain doesn't have an internal understanding of 4d objects.

I find galculator quite nice. And Free42 on my phone. One day I will buy the DM42. I don't really need it. But I _need_ it.

You have absolutely hit the nail on the head, and the way you describe the WGA update is exactly as I remember. I didn't want it installed. Back then resources were a bit more scarce and both startup programs as well as regular ones

Yes! I'm not sure which update it is, but a fresh install of Windows 10, you really have to think outside of the box to not sign up to their account. It's a shame no-one has put it up on the dark UI pattern hall of shame yet...

Ah thanks, missed that. Makes you wonder whether the Hep C treatment (probably with interferon) helped to keep the HIV under control too.

It's a chemical fractionation process [1] on thousands of litres of blood plasma, and that's how it is still done today for those products which aren't produced by recombinant DNA. But these days there are repeated health sc

> having a sense of civic duty and community vs. not A sense of civic duty? These words sounds like they are from another period. I think this is low in the mindshare of the population of many western countries. As a society we're

I'm not sure he necessarily is resistant to the virus. It has a long and variable incubation period, and he may have been lucky enough that this incubation period reached the point at which HAART treatment was widely available.

This is a lovely story, and I enjoyed reading it. I'm not sure the infection of haemophiliacs from blood products should be compared to Grenfell. Unlike aluminium cladding on a skyscraper, patients took factor concentrate on specific

Sort of like quantitative easing immediately increasing liquidity in the system.

I'm going to admit that more than 10 years ago I wasn't so sure about global warming. Not an outright denier, just slightly sceptical, mainly because I felt there was a bit of mania surrounding it. But at the time I sought out a

The title is easily misunderstood - the article describes a type of envy in Namibian hunter-gatherers which resulted in a behaviour that is not usually seen as ok in most Western societies. They would insult and demean whatever windfall or

This is great news, but sadly their lives are still very much at risk. They are too deep to drill down to, there is a lot of rain to pump out (and the rain can continue), and they can't swim (even if they could, this is a hard dive fo

How do people deal with present employers becoming aware that you may be looking for another position? Do people hide it (hold references back until a job offer, or give previous employment references) or allow their employer to know?

Tesla keep repeating the 'if you use it as designed you won't have an issue'. But they need to be honest with themselves - in the public's mindshare these are 'self-driving' vehicles, and there's no doubt

I've found the speed relates to the fileformat it is saved in. Might well still be slower, but in terms of speed ods > xls > xlsx for some reason.

This article muddles association with causation. I think it's dangerous to assume that these traits cause unhappiness, even if that might be true for some people in particular cases. If you are less happy, you are probably less likely

I read that, and having never been or lived in Japan, I thought it was an odd statement to make, though I'm half-chinese, so I have some idea how important 'face' and 'shame' is in some societies. Hoping that OP re

There's a lot of people on HN and reddit who don't understand the scepticism some people have for microsoft. But actually, I wouldn't even say things have changed that much recently - Windows 10 was born into controversy wit

There's nothing wrong with stating an opinion that is unpopular and being downvoted. It usually still contributes to the discussion. But I agree that aggregate comment vote is not an indicator of correctness - more of whatever way the

This is why, at least in the UK, there are several pathways to resolve disputes - both in the hospital trust and above it, which is in part to avoid this kind of scenario. If that doesn't resolve it the patient usually approaches a la

I very much like the idea of this calculator, particularly since it has a python implementation. However, there are a couple of caveats - it uses binary arithmetic, though since release it seems they've improved the accuracy, and also
