No, kroner doesn't translate to dollars anymore than inches translates to centimeters.

Notice that in the Google translate version 10.8 billion kroner is translated to 10.8 billion dollars. Google Translate often does that :-)

38 exits north of $100M in five years and only 9 beyond $1B. If making an exit is what you dream for, you might want to look at the $1-10M class which is much more likely to happen and would still provide for a comfortable life. What can yo

Yes, you have a very interesting history of advancements in interstate trade, civil rights etc. through courts. In Europe we have had a bit of the same in the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union (in areas like free movemen

Credits to you too :-) For what it's worth I actually did find your site through the links on https://leansync.com/status . Would be wonderful if IE supported WebGL so these features could find their way into more apps.

Justice is rarely found in courts. That said, individuals with little financial means may qualify for financial aid for court proceedings (sometimes combined with a reduced court fee). Also, many standard family insurances and standard busi

No, he didn't use the Italian art history. I don't think there is any education for what he did. But I think that what made him good at what he did was the same curiosity and interest in aesthetics that made him study Italian art history in

90 percent is crap??? Enough already with this attitude towards humanitarian studies. Engineering, computer science, medicine and law are all valuable studies but diminishing other fields doesn't make us seem smarter. One of the most creati

In most of Europe it is the general rule applying to all lawsuits that the looser pays part or all of the cost of the winning party's attorney fees. This is very effective in keeping frivolous lawsuits at a minimum. It is sometimes referred

Yet another marginalization of freedom serving the interests of a the few well-lobbbied rightsholders.

No. Whereas the Japanese American internment was certainly bad, it doesn't compare to holocaust.

The scale of this is absolutely shocking. How did they even manage in just 12 years to set up 30,000 slave labor camps, 980 concentration camps, 1,000 prisoner of war camps, 500 brothels with sex slaves and "thousands of other camps used fo

Interesting. How do you go about securing that people who file complaints are anonymous?

Did you bother reading the ruling: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2013/15.html The ruling is not concerned with statistics as a mathematical discipline. The "balance of probabilities" is a legal term. Please read the court ruling

This guy extrapolates wildly from the decision. This is a question about whether or not a cigarette bud started a fire, not a rejection of bayesian probability as such. This guy should stick to teaching statistics, not law.

You got my sign-up! I like the idea of devoting an entire page for one thing. But how are you guys going to make money from this?

I never know whether these switches are on or off. Is it on when it says "on" or does it mean that if I want it to be on I should use this switch? In this case it's even more confusing because the "on" color is red, which often indicates of

These puzzles and IQ tests are as pervasive as they are irrelevant. Nowadays, you even need to pass one to get some government jobs. Here's the one to pass to get a job in the EU agencies: https://europa.eu/epso/application/passport/quiz.c

The captain overreacted as did the FA, but let's not demonize them and let's not victimize the passenger. Kudos to the blogger for not exposing these people to internet anger.

OK. It is a quick guess based on the taxes we have paid. Of course our taxes also went for other things like welfare, education, administration and defense, and as we all know many European governments have run deficits for years.
