The absolute murder count in France is 10 times terrorism figure per year. The murder rate is less than a third that in the US and twice that in Germany. Are these really levels of threat that people worry about.

My knowledge of statistics is negligible, but is it possible to measure a system and control for the same factors that the system itself is trying to control for?

But the decision between probation or a custodial sentence is based partly on the attitude, risk profile and situation of the offender. Surely that's going to skew the statistics?

There are some nice things in there, but the destructuring looks a bit odd: struct S { int x1 : 2; volatile double y1; }; S f(); const auto [ x, y ] = f(); So it's just ordering based, I can't pull out one member by nam

It looks like Atom is at least moving in the right direction - I see 736MB RAM on OSX with that 6MB XML file open. For me it's less the RAM usage and more latency that annoys me. Things like the way you can see the syntax highlighting

That's no tax on private pension contributions, which have an up-front agreed pay out date. There is a state pension as well, and the retirement age is gradually being increased, but as I understand it that's always for people c

No mention of the fact that by the time autonomous cars are a reality then internal combustion engines will likely be illegal as well? MPG figures are irrelevant. Is it realistic to have a large, economically viable, electric RV with reason

Intel's naming is confusing, but I think the Celeron is an Atom-based N2840, roughly 30-50% of the performance of that MacBook.

I have a 2015 Toshiba Chromebook - 4GB RAM, 1.7GHz Celeron I think - and while it's fine for a lot of things, browsing the 'modern' web on it is so painful. Sites cause the UI to hang for seconds at a time. Switching between

Presumably, as a brand new architecture, there's more chance of AMD improving single-core performance (either through frequency or IPC) in the next iteration of Ryzen than Intel doing the same with Core i3/5/7?

Yet large companies still launch investigations into why retention is so bad and have employees fill out surveys to try to figure out why people are leaving. Multiple-choice surveys, of course, with no questions about compensation.
