I still think the best way to deal with this stuff is to use interval arithmetic. Calculate the numbers with rounding set to round up, and separately to round down and compare the results. See PyInterval https://pyinterval.readth

One trick to driving into London is finding a parking space at a station outside town and continuing on TfL services. E.g. if you are coming from the M40 park at Hillingdon Station. But often the reverse is true - if your meeting isn't

This extension does not "appear to be from Microsoft". It merely mentions Microsoft in its title. But the fact that the developer was allowed to call themselves "Extensions" is worrying.

As soon as I read "In 2019, Uber claimed $4.5 billion in global operating losses ... in reality, it brought in $5.8 billion in operating revenue." I think either whoever wrote this has no idea what they are talking about, or they

The time to restore from backups after a ransomware attack is more about figuring out how they got in and closing any back doors then cleaning out the existing systems, applying the latest security updates etc., rather than actually restori

But what is the equivalent of a dosimeter for this job?

Yeah, don't buy leasehold. 1km² of land will always be worth 1km² of land and there will only ever be 500 million km² of them. But you can use the land.

Why is buying companies and property (or small parts of them, i.e. stocks) not a "real store of value"?

Because the owner of the other class of share believes themselves to own part of the company, but they don't. It's confusing. What you really own is some sort of bond from the company that guarantees they will pay you an amount eq

I think this would might better with a slight perspective transformation, at least for some effects - sometimes the 3d is hard to appreciate. Also once you drag manually there is no way to put it back into auto-rotate mode. It would be grea
