My highschool offered a class on programming, where you would mark your programs on cards with a soft pencil and had them sent by mail to the computer center for processing. Output was sent back a week later, in the next class.
That must have been a 1 millbaud connection.
The average citizen in Luxemburg receives a net contribution of 2600 Euro from the EU. That is all paid by ordinary taxpayers outside Luxemburg. I do know why more places don't do this - they are to busy funding your happy duchy where everything is free.
I agree that people should think before they vote, but the European Commission is not an elected body, and their statute actually specifically says they should represent Europe, and not some country or electorate. If you want to get rid of them you will need another box than the ballot box.
The scientists doing this research are quite serious, and are actually trying to get rid of the speculation. Sea level is a thing around here and has to be managed, no matter what the causes are of variations. One interesting line from the abstract is for instance: "We find that the initiation of increases in GrIS melting closely follow the onset of industrial-era Arctic warming in the mid-1800s, but that the magnitude of GrIS melting has only recently emerged beyond the range of natural variability". Probably not something that a Guardian journalist would pick up. I also noticed that, although I paid for this research, Nature wants to charge me for seeing its results.
which seems like a design flaw I'm not so sure. Perhaps just the third law of robotics. Could be that the car's AI has decided that the risk of them both in the car is too high for its own safety.
I will give one good argument for your 'should'. Quoting from the last Nature Reviews paper in the list above:
Research in P.J.M.'s laboratory has been supported over the years by the Swiss National Science Foundation, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST; Saudi Arabia), the University of Lausanne (UNIL; Switzerland), École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL; Switzerland), Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV; Switzerland), the National Centre for Competence in Research (NCCR) Synapsy and the Préfargier Foundation
Clearly Nature is paywalling, at least partially, publicly funded research results.
Normally the CASP proceedings appear more than a year after the meeting. There is some info on their own website: https://deepmind.com/blog/alph... An interesting question is the claim that they generate shapes ab initio, but using a neural network. I wonder how much the network has been trained to recognize existing (evolutionary dependent) protein families and their patterns vs. a new random sequence folder. The former may be just as useful in practice but may teach us a bit less about the mechanics of folding. Looking forward to the publication.
The way to deliver solar power when and where you need it is the real problem, but at 50% nuclear they may actually have a better solution than many other countries. Btw. Mainland France has between 1500 and 2800 hours of sun per year (4 to 8 per day). So 3 to 5 hours is a conservative estimate based on insolation. https://www.currentresults.com... Efficiency of the panels will drop by rougly 1% per year over 20 years. https://www.engineering.com/De...
For windmills the issues are similar, but they may actually help a little (more wind on cloudy days).
A huge part of Norway's economy however is funded by selling oil to other countires. Their 'zero emission' energy policy is effectively funded by outsourcing emissions.
As I'm involved in a major international effort to start measuring the global Carbon cycle systematically I was somewhat surprised about the claim about emissions in the article. So, I checked the publication. You are spot on: The major CO2 driver in this study is a simple fixed fraction of GDP. It appears that, even if we turned entirely to fusion energy, this report would claim an increase in CO2 emission when the economy picks up.
I also haven't seen studies substantiating the opposite, but the effect of not screening financially is illustrated by this random datapoint: 70% of Somalian immigants in the Netherlands was living on welfare in 2017. Overall about 40% of immigrants from the period 2000-2010 was on welfare, versus 2% of the indigenous population. These and many more interesting statistics can be found at government statitics bureau: https://opendata.cbs.nl/statli...
Correct, that is actually still the norm where I live. Even worse, if you pay your credit cards balance in full every month you are not even registered as 'borrowing', so you do not build up a documented credit history.
Very funny, but the Dutch government is actually paying huge amounts of taxpayers money to subsidize Microsofts licensing schemes. I have superfluous licenses for all office versions since 2007.

I find people pretending to own an ios device by deliberately typing â(TM) instead of ' rather annoying.
More to the point; it runs GTA under dosemu. Sure beats your standard navigation.

You have a standing desk and an excercise ball, and you didn't know?
Or he's trying to be the last man standing.

We have always been at war with Eastasia.

Yes, and perhaps even a lock and key to fix it in the off position.

In a few years we can claim we knew it all along. At least for one of the stories.

No need for sloppy transcribing: The scanner compression can do that automaticaly for you: http://www.dkriesel.com/en/blo...
Ironically the script is placed in /etc/rc.local. Probably perfectly compatible with sysVinit.

In Europe Black Friday is not a thing, despite desperate attempts to pretend it is by US companies.
Well, you should be happy. Irrelevant ads cost you less than those from companies you might actually buy stuff from.
Well, there will be a lot of dirt trickling down those tunnels to clean up. That was the economic model, wasn't it?
