So... you think Aphex Twin is a niche electronic music artist of the 90s and at the same time claim Taylor Swift and Beiber have "almost unparalleled influence". I mean... musical taste has its variations and I am cool with that b

We have far more than 14 active political parties. Most of them are founded for very narrow and specific issues (Tierschutzpartei -- "party for animal welfare", Die Violetten -- "party for mysticism/esotericism"). S

I once had a project management workshop, where this pdf was disseminated as an example of why projects fail. The basic questions were: Who are the actors that enable this failure, what is their motivation, and what are the tools they wield

I think the most fascinating bit about Grahams Number is, that is is used as an upper bound in a proof about colored subgraphs in a completely connected graph of dimension [n]. But this is only an upper bound... the actual number of dimensi

Have you tried OSMand ( https://osmand.net/ ). It is not very pretty, but I definitly love the "offline" feature and bicycle maps.
