No they’re not. Most bicycles are locked by the device that is builtin. Also bike registration exists for a reason: bike stealing is one of the most common crimes.

Yet another startup that throws tech at a non-issue. People buying cheap coffee just do that when doing their groceries. And people buying expensive ones are probably inclined to try new ones based on recommendations of their local dedicate

We weren’t that many, maybe 8 people, ten at most. As for fire safety of course there is no inspection, it’s illegal to go there, but there isn’t anything that can burn either. Everything is made of stone and there is also a lot of humidity

I had the chance to go in an underground party in Paris and this was really awesome. Despite being winter it was warm inside the tunnel network. Without our artificial lights we could experience total dark like. The room we stay at had bee

Ippudo is decent at best, and that's only if you like Hakata style ramen. I would advice to skip it (you can find it abroad anyway) and try non-chain restaurants. There is more variability in this case, sometime really bad but most of

> It is worth noting that many of the earlier scholars studying cave art were men, which may have led to gender biases in their interpretations. It's sad we cannot have a post on an interesting topic not spoiled by the gender war a

Yes: grammar books, Wikipedia & websites to grasp the phonology of the language, a native to work on pronunciation, series/movies for more oral input, standardized test word list for vocabulary, MOOCs (quality varies a lot) for int

Do you have a link to a paper or two supporting that claim? Sure as children we learned our natives language by hearing it for years but the point is you can't magically have ten years of everyday language input when learning a foreign

Ok, it's interesting because I also learned Japanese (MA graduate). In comparison, it took me a few days for learning hiragana/katakana plus few weeks more to read them a reasonable speed. Two years before that I've learned a

I was a WP7&8 user as well as developer and yes the whole story left me a bitter taste, especially at the end. I had fun getting phones for free, participating at MS hackhatons, making friends and of course learning to develop mobile ap

At least for Duolingo there is an easy fix: don’t use it. I’m currently reading a researcher paper written by an employee and while the paper is interested the app itself is abysmally bad. I just tried the app again today just to be sure my

U+2800 etc. is for Braille, which is an alphabet. Nothing to do with bitmaps.

Of course I know this is two different committees. I'm not talking about that level of separation but splitting Unicode in Unicode proper and the emoji in another standard. Emoji standardisation is orthogonal to encoding present and pa

Variants. There is a lot of differences in the form of characters given time and place and writing. Scholars want to be able to reproduce text with fidelity so the current standard is insuffisant for them (I heard that from a scholar in tha

The whole emoticon thing have became ridiculous. It's time for Unicode to split and let the kids playing with their images and to focus on more important, textual things. For example the cuneiform block is not detailed enough to be use

Yes, the various ports were also a big selling point. By the time USB-C will be democratized we will have (I hope) a total revision that will solve the current issues.

We had something similar in France. There was enough people saying and believing that (ethnic) minorities are discriminated for employment to trigger a governmental supported study on the use of anonymous CV. The conclusion was that minorit

It's not an alphabet, it's a semi-syllabary (and that's written on the page you linked). There is no separate characters for consonants and vowels but instead a separation between consonants and rhymes. Rhymes can be made of

Very good but where the 5% come from? I’m reading another article in French about it and they’re speaking of 3%.
