This is pretty funny. I had something vaguely similar happen to me, although not nearly as major. In my matric year (grade 12) I took three first languages (although I already had two first languages by grade 10). The department of educatio

Both could be correct. Here I think "day" could make more sense. An example of the other case: "Back in the days of Fortran programming..." If you leave out anything after "days" by just saying "back in th

Oh okay, I've heard similar things about netting in nethouses; any colours other than white or black lead to unwanted results (like perhaps desease).

PS you are right about the 3rd party logging and that's also why the others will be more successful.

You are right. The only scenario where is makes sense is in the Netherlands and even they are struggling to stay in business, meaning they will have to specialise or rethink their business plan. Data analysis in the open field is just as in

I think the French were the first to create ASCII's first predecessor if I recall correctly, used in line of sight telegrams.

This is exactly what I am working on. Using climate data for more efficient farming, in a nutshell. Established players are like sledge hammers. They are successful if they are hard working and have some competitive edge (could be labour co

Same story in Southern Africa (although one couldn't say because of competition). The whole of Southern Africa should be a free trade zone, but isolationist behaviour takes place because of other factors, like for example xenophobia

I think the title of the link is phrased badly. "We have no reason to believe 5G is safe" makes me want to comment that "we have no reason to believe 5G is unsafe " without even reading it. Maybe the title should be mor

RE: pension funds; that is something that bothers me eternally. How do you find a store of wealth for normal people? Financial managers have opted for shares and bonds and in the process risk economic instability through overvaluation. The

In SA it's the opposite—govt entities are pitifully incompetent and in debt; Naspers, one of the only state owned companies that went private is I think now close to the most valuable company on the JSE (although they spinned off Prosu

Based on Raleigh scattering only and one time stamp only the answer is, I think... Maybe. In the morning, if there is less dust, then there would be different Raleigh scattering.

As a South African, the initial reaction is a knee-jerk, snide comment "get some", since we have frequent power outages due to a combination of institutional incompetence and malicious actors. (Apparently, at one point, we had out

So to bring this a little bit back to biology (and away from the fact that the article says little about humans) I would conjecture that the issue with blue light may stem from Rayleigh scattering [1] of sunlight and the subsequent phenomen

My issue is simply that a downvote doesn't tell me anything. Doesn't matter what I think about Bach, but did someone really downvote without saying "I think Bach in interesting because x, y and z"? The analogue would be

Yay, someone who is open to the idea! So yes, I think Dvorak is a good counterargument to Bach. I personally feel that for anyone to appreciate Bach, in 2019, you need to overlay some form of intellectualism before you can appreciate Bach.
