Yeah, that's correct. In my experience 'EEA' is a well understood shorthand for 'non-EU EEA members', since that's the context under which 'EEA' is most often used.

That comparison seems a bit off to me. The UK is more than 10x the size of all EEA members combined. The EEA exists / works because its members are largely peripheral. The UK by contrast is a regional superpower. On this basis alone -

Ponzu sauce is made with a bitter citrus - much more 'lemon' than 'orange'. Secondly, of course, Ponzu sauce isn't a glass of orange juice. Comparing the two is ridiculous.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, this is an illustration of the committee's political independence. Unlike Liu Xiaobo's prize, that of Obama was controversial and broadly unpopular within Norway.

'vim adventures' also seems fun, but it's not quite the same (for me) without the context of actually navigating a text document.

I sleep somewhere between 3-5 hours on weekdays, and 8-10 hours on weekends. If I had to put a number on it, I'd say my productivity decreases linearly by roughly 10-15% every weekday.

I disagree. Functional languages are well suited for concurrency.

The OP did seem to be suggesting that this map was somehow different from other political maps, otherwise why make the point at all?

Good for Quebec. This could quite feasibly lead to the development of a local competitor, providing job opportunities for local developers and tax dollars for the region / country. Ride sharing services are here to stay, but there&#x27

It's preferable, but if I'm honest Vimium is Good Enough(tm) for my general use case. I didn't realize they had a FF57 compatible version :)

In theory, sure. In practice, Tinder seems to be a pretty blunt dating instrument. I'd be surprised if A / B testing a data-driven vs. non-data-driven match would yield significantly different user experiences.

Very interesting, that does appear to be the case - likewise for VimFx. From what I gather, the go-to Vim plugin after this year will be Vimium (which I currently use on Chrome), although it hasn't yet been ported to FF 57.

Frankly I agree, and would not shed a year if Google and FB were banned in other regions, allowing local competitors to develop. I don't buy this idea that the silicon valley hegemony is an unequivocally good thing.
