The pervasiveness of Android would mitigate random errors. It alone can not, however, mitigate systematic errors. Apple Stores (and, employing stereotypes for maximum effect, art galleries and organic food stores) would be undercounted. B

There is also the yellow-ish overlay for busy areas (binary). Facebook pages for real-world locations also gives hourly foot traffic, segmented by age, local/tourist, and gender.

First of all, the problem as such does not exist: illegal border crossings are at there lowest in decades, and what remains is a stream of young, eager people as easily integrated into the economy as previous generations of (Irish/Ital

I love the UK, and am actually going there tomorrow. ...and that’s exactly why I feel so strongly that they are being idiots. Nobody would care about an actually terrible country ruining its future and descending into madness.

People do have a tendency to wave at strangers, when either one is in a non-car vehicle. I. e. a boat, Train, balloon, etc.

I guess such „counter-hype“ feels like an attractive position to many. Just like general cynicism seems to be the mindset of our times. Maybe because people think being contrarian and/or negative makes them appear smart? I don’t necess

Judging by the other early comments, this article seems to be triggering the dark underbelly of the HN community to make an appearance.

Looking at the states still condoning corporal punishment, it seems those god-lovers spend all their love on god, and have only the stick and paddle left over for their neighbors and children.

There definitely is, just not using that name. In Germany, it’s an explicit law. It just doesn’t apply in this case, because it hinges on bad faith. Incidental evidence found while following some other legitimate trails is admissible.

I feel that there's a sort of wide-spread cynicism that has far overshot its mark: people routinely disparage journalism, even though the better publishers (NYT, Economist, WSJ, etc) today are in my impression far better than ever befo

This changes nothing for mechanisms trying to prevent bots, or really any other management of posts. The only requirement is that such mechanisms must be viewpoint-neutral . So you can, for example, shuffle all replies in the first minut

This isn't mass psychosis because 'seeing a drone', even when mistaken, is not a symptom of anything. 'Mass delusion' may be closer to what you're referring to. But there's a certain aspect of fear or pani

Your apparent inability to do a simple search makes me think you just want to send us on a wild goose chase proving everything from first principle, or alternatively to saw some FUD around solar technology. I mean, what answer are you willi

Nuclear power is dead for economic reasons. Yes, I know, engineers are somewhat insulted by the public's refusal to accept their risk modelling. That's why this has become somewhat of a cultural fight. It sometimes feels like ther

I really don't see what's lacking with CSS Grids for equal-with items. Even accommodating different sizes, and allowing reordering for packing, works fine with just CSS.

I don't quite understand how this change makes the (somewhat remote) misunderstanding you describe any more likely than it previously was for people using ASCII only. I also just tried and was duly warned upon reassignment, a setting I

That’s actually what happened. The long timeline also allowed them to adapt: everyone trained in mines in the last two decades earned an education that’s transferable to work outside the mines.

“Brave” is just a blatant protection racket, trying to strongarm people that want nothing to do with him into contracts dictated by Eich. On the user-facing side, he’s replacing ads with his own, like a cheap motel WiFi. If you trust this b

That’s a strangely editorializing headline. Kinda like “Apple to no longer mine Lithium”. Germany will (and has been) buy coal on the market. It’s easily transported by ship (unlike LNG, and, to some extend, oil), and there are lots of prod

Then why is there not a single company doing that to get around any of the other thousands of laws and regulations, not to mention taxes? Would that simple fact not incentive you to question your assumptions of either the burden of regulati

It sounds like a pretty hefty fine for a small startup. It’s also a fine, not a tax. Meaning this does not establish a price that you can consciously factor in when breaking the law. The next one would surly be treated much harder, consider
