You choose an interesting case at 1. What does 1 times less errors mean? To me it means no errors.

I would never say times fewer, because it is ambiguous.

7 times 70 =490. 490 fewer than 70 is -420. But words mean what you want them to mean, so 7 times fewer to mean 1/7th is becoming commonplace. (edited because formatting swallowed asterisk for times)

One of my favourite nitpicks, but IMO 7x fewer errors means -6 times the error rate. Maybe error rate reduced by 86%.

Interesting to compare e.g. Sweden, Norway Denmark which had different attitudes to lockdown.

Seems the settings aren’t captured in the URL. Change to cumulative deaths, show unselected countries, add Peru (the highest).

Not sure of the relative timing, but the new CEO is super focused on profitability/cash flow. In comparison to what he described as a ‘burning platform’ when he took over. So supersonic would have needed a brilliant business case to ha

I saw this on front page of HN, then it had disappeared, I don't know why. So I reposted it. Happy for it to be assigned to the original poster.

I can't find a reference, but I'm pretty sure that someone on the Australian Financial Review's rich list, got rich from Taxi medallions. When Melbourne was to host the olympics, the licence authority decided there would not

I agree, how to use the resources available is an underrated skill. I find an increasing part of the value I add is in being able to find answers in our vendor’s less-than-optimal documentation and search. I do think the subject of the art

I worked with a defector from the Soviet Union. He told me the reason Soviet programmers were so good was that they had very limited access to computers. If you had to program using pencil and paper, you wanted to make it work first time. (

That almost made me nostalgic for the French love of paperwork. 'La paperasse' I seem to recall. Watching an official in action is like performance art.

Did you try Modafinil? The effect of tolerance is much less, and few side effects. But maybe not sufficiently industrial strength for you.

The video appears to show adult men punching children. I’m guessing the children were making a nuisance of themselves. Different times.

Interested in the Nortel acquisitions, do you have a reference? I don’t see that in the Wikipedia narrative, but maybe I’m misunderstanding.

That was the BMW i3 with range extender. But also it seems discontinued in 2022. Although the range extender was a generator for the electrics, so maybe didn’t meet your definition of ICE entirely. I wanted to buy one but my wife hated the

I hope I’m wrong, but fear it will be that democracies protect themselves poorly from populists/demagogues. Watching a documentary on the fall of the Roman republic, it was hard to think it couldn’t happen here. Or as wrongly attribut

Useful links. Noteworthy that the Guardian reports 'The hospital had also been targeted last week' where I suspect 'The hospital had also been hit last week'. Or do they have evidence it was targeted?
