   Not sure why you are getting downvoted for what seems like a generally curious question. I'll try and give some answer from the point of view of a Swede who is a serious "USPhile" in many ways (and someone who in his younger

   For some context. The 2nd edition was published in 2002 (so maybe written in 2001-2002?). The fourth edition published in 2020 seems to have a bunch more things on NNs.

   Well there was a lot of talk about this on the mailing list with a lot of core devs opposed to the idea.

   I think that generally foreign (I.e non-Swedish in my case) media does not really distinguish them. I read Nyt, washpo, the guardian and le monde and IIRC all of them had headlines similar to "The winners of the Nobel prize in Economy&

   The Swedish Academy Word Book gives the "wicing" etymology from old Frisian and old English, but also says that the etymology has "disputed origin".

   Isn't that exactly what choosing a license is all about? Choosing a license and then not caring if the license is upheld seems like you should have chosen another license.

    This would of course be true for any software development if we programmers could do real magic and create perfect software. I assure you (given that I used to work for one of the largest news organisations in Sweden) that there is no such

    Not to say anything about your point about drawing out an election is perhaps not optimal. But this is standard for the U.S is it not? States have until before December 14th to certify and choose electors. Then congress will make the final

    There is of course no clause of the constitution that forbids secession but SCOTUS currently interprets the constitution as creating an "indestructible union" if I recall the language correctly. And good luck finding a good vehicl

    If I recall correctly the issue with the Eiffel Tower at night is that they claim (and I assume courts have agreed unfortunately) that the lighting fixtures are copyrightable?

    This depends on the prevalence on the different algorithms. If let's say gzip is 90% of the decompression load then it would make good sense.

    It is worth noting that the "self-imposed" lockdown and social distancing is due to the recommendations (and in some aspects regulations) made by FHM (the Swedish department of health where Tegnell works). I've seen this sent

    Actually on the 3rd of June there was 1 death attributed to COVID-19. This is very likely to increase as we get more confirmations and backfills the data. The other 73 deaths reported are confirmed cases for other days.
