To my knowledge over 90% of the firefighters are volunteers and they are not exceptionally well supplied. Australia has done a worse job than other countries with its vast resources could have done. But I agree with you: when has humankind

But is that actually nefarious, or meaningfully proscribed, or is it not understood that this kind of stuff is how Google makes money, and how it will continue to make money into the future? Is this unacceptable to most people? I am uncomfo

Where do you live? I’m pedestrian most of the time in Seattle, and I’ve never experienced such a degree of danger that it could be cut down dramatically and still be having near misses. Not anywhere else either, NY, Istanbul, etc.

Could you recommend a good guide to systemd? I learned most of my knowledge of *nix systems on FreeBSD, and as systemd has taken over Linux I find a lot of my traditional knowledge is becoming outdated as years go by. I understand basic asp

The authors are very liberal in what they consider as evidence for their theory. The first experiment, with the judges, relies on a sample size of 22, from which any sort of analysis of variance is pretty suspect--the partial eta squared ef

We have tried to do this and we nearly succeeded in Seattle before the mayor antidemocratically shut it down. When you’re up against so much money and power , you’re up against the people who write the laws too.
