The fines aren't made up arbitrary numbers, and the article is clear on that too. "In accordance with the Commission's 2006 Guidelines on fines (see press release and MEMO), the fine has been calculated on the basis of the va

People most often overlook two things when it comes to economics. First one is that it is based on drawing conclusions from models that attempt to simplify extremely complex interactions of billions of agents. Second one is that although th

Love it! Also, "Fun fact: the well known ampersand, &, was originally a ligature for “et”, meaning “and” in Latin," completely amazed me. I never knew.

I went through it, and I can't say that it's any better than what your average corporate response is like. It brushes over Sirer's points by making note of irrelevant 'achievements' they have managed. The format als

How funny is it that this commit's message ( https://github.com/slashsBin/styleguide-git-commit-message/c... ) in a repo about commit guidelines doesn't actually abide the ruleset (violated Rule 8).

There is no other Unicode code point that will be encoded in UTF8 with a zero byte anywhere within it. From what I understand, this means that no wild UTF-8 string would have a NUL byte anywhere in it, no?

Proper Turkish delight is never coated with icing sugar, but always starch. I don't know where the author had it either, but it is nowhere near being "very, very sweet." Hell, I can't even imagine what an American may co

That's a very light definition of carbon neutral. All the equipment and energy (for humans and machines) to mine anything costs carbon to bring about.

It's clearly not feasible to provide the mainland the infrastructure necessary for comfortable living, why bother?

That's partially due to the fact that the less inhabited areas are mostly uninhabitable or simply very inconvenient. See this height map of China and see how the less populated areas are simply too high: http://chinatoursand

- Camera rotation is way too slow for my tastes. - Tools should have keyboard shortcuts. - It's rather ambiguous, say, what the subtract tool subtracts from. - Scaling tool must include a Ctrl or Shift modifier key to scale all axes. -

It was literally a paper that talked about creating a graph of all the craftable tools in the game. Not to downplay the merit in the methods used, this is extremely uninteresting and just bad game design.
