You want the French authorities to focus on the Epstein files to the exclusion of all other corporate misbehaviour? Also, it seems pretty likely that Musk is tangled up with the Epstein shit. First Musk claimed he turned down offer to go to

That could be due to increasing competition? They had high brand awareness during the 2010s but (in the UK at least) we're seeing competitors like This and Alt, as well as cheap own-brand versions, coming onto the shelves in a big way.

Funny how that page spends so much of the introduction comparing Julia to Fatou, but the page for Fatou only mentions Julia in passing.

Probably two days a month would suffice, given how long the beneficial effects are reported to last.

I'm not sure there's much real scientific research on preparation (at least when this was published in the 90s), especially as it can be quite subjective. There's a bit about factors affecting caffeine content on p.425: >

Oh okay, you're asking why is it on HN front page rather than more generally why is it newsworthy. That's a fair point. I suppose it's a big feat of logistics and engineering to manage a switchover at such a large airport wit

So how does your team adjust capacity planning in case of disruptions like annual leave, company all-hands days, public holidays etc... ? How do you figure out how many points to reduce by?

ACII is a standard, but it's also standard . To a really high degree. 99% of webpages are UTF-8. You could make a similar argument about, say, H.264, but the dominance is not as compelling and drops massively if you account for differ

I think it's a fair point. Text is easier to inject into other media.

Yes but Heathrow has around twice as many departures per day (edit after your edit:) than Gatwick. This is on BBC news. Heathrow is twice as busy as any other airport in the UK. It's the easiest major airport to reach from London (othe

Heathrow is by far the largest airport in the UK, with several times more flights per day than any other, and flights to a broader range of destinations. So it affects a lot more prospective fliers. I looked up European airports and found s

Obviously there are some pieces of information that can be conveyed better with a picture or diagram - network connections, block graphs, etc. But as a general rule text is far more efficient for knowledge transfer. If I have a text file an

Text is searchable, skippable, scrollable, compact, transmissible, and accessible in a way that audio and video have never managed to be.

Yes, this is basically what happens. Except sometimes there's no realistic way to narrow the estimate. In research-focused teams you don't "scrap" a project that you can't break down. Instead you need to have a way

Can't you do that by just limiting the precision? You can only vote 1, 2, 3, 5 or 8 days. Not sure what "points" are adding. As far as I can tell, it's an attempt to account for estimation difficulties by introducing a &

What if the project involves trying one approach for a week, then assessing whether that approach still looks viable vs moving onto a different approach? This happens a lot with challenging projects, you basically just keep trying different

What is the benefit of estimating points rather than days? Feels like you're still ultimately estimating days in the end.

I agree. My worry is that teachers will force one method, especially if they haven't seen the other.

I guess this comes down to what you mean by "science". Some would say that science is the process of testing hypotheses about reality. Mathematical facts exist in an abstract sense apart from reality, and so mathematics is not rea

Sympathy means expressing pity or sorrow at someone's plight. Reflecting feelings is more like a form of empathy. It's clarifying and/or paraphrasing the feelings so that the other person feels like they're heard and tak

You can prove Noether's Theorem in a mathematical sense, but you cannot conclusively prove that a specific physical force is conservative or that a specific physical symmetry of action is continuous. Likewise, we assume at an operation
