You misunderstood - the user wrote that the improvement probably won't continue due to climate change (which is expected to negatively impact developing countries more than developed).

They shouldn't be installing anything. Don't tell them the root password, turn on automatic updates, and forget about it. My non-techie father has been using an Ubuntu 1604 LTS workstation for years with no trouble.

No it uses scripts from parastorage.com (part of wix).

Welcome to the web in recent years. Looking at my umatrix rules, for basic functionality a lot of sites need scripts from ajax.googleapis.com, [cdnjs.]cloudflare.com, brightcovecdn.com, static.parastorage.com (as in this site), and many oth

There are plenty of paid-for satnavs. Tomtom Navigation GPS Traffic (Android)/ Tomtom GO (iOS) get good reviews for motoring. Citymapper is free and great for public transport. I'm sure there are many others.

Shout out to Climendo. I use the android app and it gives me a simple comparison of 4-5 weather forecasts, an "average" forecast, and a "certainty" (a measure of consensus). Obviously the average of the ensemble averages

If you're using a password manager you could generate a random local-part and store that too.

Not refuting your assertion, but the concentration of power in tracking funds is a looming problem. The FT did a bit on it last week. Here's something similar from the motley fool: https://www.fool.com/investing/20

It's not perfect but skyscanner.net does the first part of your description. I just did some test searches from Eindhoven + nearby airports, and it found routes starting in EIN, BRU, CRL, and ANR. By default it shows different take-off

Cool. The control machine seems like a bit of a waste though. Hardware degrades randomly even on Earth, it'll be hard to make any meaningful comparison with a single sample.

Isn't it fine as long as the secondary processor hands back once the initialization is done? Before the training the memory is unused, and only the "clean" processor has access to it after training. I can't see the threa

I believe (at least in the UK) that Tetrapak contribute to a recycling scheme (hence the Green Dot symbol - note it's NOT the regular recyclable symbol). With a bit of research I found a dedicated Tetrapak collection bin locally which

I think sametmax wrote a great reply already. I'll just address your logical fallacies. Generalisation fallacy 1: "some harmful things are not banned; asbestos is a harmful thing; asbestos should not be banned". Thankfully mo

Different beer (I think), but cf. the famous 1973 beer tagline: "Probably the best beer in the world". Interestingly I would be surprised if that stemmed from onerous marketing regulations as suggested above.

It's been a long time since I've done any physics and there is absolutely no rigour here, but the (extremely useful) Dirac delta function comes to mind. You can think of it as being infinitely tall and infinitely thin, but with un
