I did say the rest of the natural world. If it turns out that the only way to bring down carbon emissions is to make low carbon energy much cheaper, then why would anyone think that we'd spend our newfound wealth on cleaning up our a

More breathing room for mankind, yes, but not necessary the rest of the natural world.

It was faster for about a year. And at what cost?

Absolutely agree. I'm mystified that so many people abandoned the consistently excellent Firefox for the debatably equal but run by Google Chrome.

You're on a hiding to nowhere attempting to frame this in terms what the subject does or doesn't decide to mention. You say: > This is a badly made retake of the original two problems where you had one where you just mention th

You are correct! Most people tend to say 1/2, or if they have some knowledge of probability but dismiss the Tuesday aspect then 1/3. It does rely on the problem being interpreted as equivalent to the dialogue I have posted below,

.NET Core Web API is absolutely perfect for this and the fact you already have some .NET experience makes it a no brainer in my opinion. Just get started knocking out a prototype running locally and break the analysis paralysis, you'll

Ah, sorry. I'd somehow got it into my head that we were specifically talking about the movie. I do love the book too. But the movie is better.

This is my favourite film so I'm pretty tuned in to these phrases, and I've never heard anyone use any of them. I'm also pretty sure there's no "wheels within wheels" in it.
