One avenue that has been taken by Youtube for example with the Coronavirus news is to not try to detect lies/truths but just detect the controversial topic and add a banner under the video with a link to official sources. It's muc

The grand parent comment probably made the same mistake because there isn't any country where the mean mother age at first birth is 32 or 33, that is, 6 years more than US 26.3 or 26.9 (depending on sources).

It also depends on motion and speed. In France at some point there were talks about a rule of 10 meters when people are in motion, for skateparks or jogging for example. Because the droplet of the person in front of you takes sometime to fa

I think it's not an issue with off shoring per se but with hiring. For some reason when off-shoring companies use a different hiring process. As if they were doing this to cut costs so they already start with a lower expectation and no

I'm in Europe and some of my coworkers are in NZ. There is a 12H difference. The entire 9 to 5 section of one is outside the 9 to 5 section of the other.

Something I find interesting, the excess mortality charts in the article only go down to zero but if you go to the euroMOMO website you will see that for France and Spain we are well into the negatives. France is almost at a score of -10 wh

I love log graph but I understand the sentiment. Yesterday I was looking at a COVID-19 log graph and I was interested in a point of the curve right at the middle between the 100 and the 1000 tick mark. It's hard to have an intuition on

This makes me wonder if Quebec uses the comma as a decimal separator as in France? That could yield to some serious mishaps.

Yeah this feature is pretty stupid. It makes you think the video is in a different language than it really is and makes search much more complicated. I like that you can set language and region on top of the browser settings though and it&#

I find it rare, have you configured the language used by the browser when it request pages? It's different from the language user interface.

We don't need to know how it works, it asks the web pages to serve content in that language, it's made explicitly for this use case. It should be the first choice. Second choice could be browser language.

What if it doesn't need modding though? I feel the rule should also take into account the number of posts/comments, not just number of days.

I think what the parent commenter is saying is that maybe the virus stays in the air like that but it's not a way in which people get infected, otherwise the clusters wouldn't be so tight. Any tracing would be impossible for examp

No, I'm pretty sure none of the countries under consideration for being expelled can vote on the decision about the others. I don't have the ref right now as I'm on mobile but this has been discussed before.

I use keepass as well and there is a similar conundrum. If you store a backup of the keepass file on a remote server, make sure the passwords to access this remote server aren't only in the local machine keepass.
