   but it's not just negotiated in secret. There have been voted in the EU on documents that are classified. In the US, for example, a member of Congress could go to prison for revealing the contents to a constituent, even over things lik

   dd/mm/yyyy and yyyy/mm/dd are as valid as each other, since it proceeds in either increasing or decreasing unit size. Having dates as mm/dd/yyyy makes about as much logical sense as writing: 10492 as 49210.

   I don't see this image of scientists at all in Europe or the UK. From here, science degrees are by far the most valued, and careers in STEM are viewed favourably. Where exactly does this "PR problem" come in?

   I wonder how much the problem is that "they degrade the experience" vs. men having weird psychological/egotistical issues. I feel like most of the common talk of "it feels better without condoms" is really to do wit

   In the absence of a third person, singular pronoun of ambiguous gender in English, I prefer to use "her" as it makes a nice change from the standard use of the masculine pronoun that is all too common. Read into that what you will

    If you've found said written report it would be helpful to link to it. Even so: > he committed this crime previously What, the egregious crime of changing a background image? God knows what I would have been charged for as a kid, gi

    I think this is one of the most important points here. Even from a practical perspective, the amount of damage done to a child by "throwing the book" at her will end up costing the state many times over. And then there's the

    I've found Airmail 2 has improved massively, and I use it as my primary email client on my mac, but to be honest it's still behind where Sparrow was IMO. There are a number of interface gripes I have, and it sometimes consumes abo

    Mailbox were always pretty clear that they have an "ideology" if you will. You don't have to subscribe to it, but the app is geared towards that, so if you don't want it, don't use that app. For my part, I find it e
