How easy was it to find work in Denmark without speaking Danish?
In technical or research fields; pretty easy. In non-technical fields, pretty hard.
I know many non-danish people here that has moved here to work in IT and found a job easy. I also know a lot of non-danish women who moved here because their husband lives or moved here, and many of them have had a hard time finding a job.
Try playing a chess AI that isn't based on a books of known games. They can be smart when having the knowledge from all the best chess games by the best human players, but are still retarded when playing without a database of known games and openings.
Outside of the US, only LTE has been advertised as 4G. You can call it a translation blunder if you like, but Apple is really the first manufacturer to call a non-LTE device 4G in many countries. This is the backlash.
Note 'Modern' in your link. You should try to not use modern warped definitions when discussing history. The Republican party was originally born as liberal party, opposing the conservative Democratic party.
Ahh.. Yes. The people who actually UNDERSTAND the cases, and who knows ALL THE DETAILS gives out smaller sentences than people who HAVE NO CLUE would like..
A "funny" experiment was made a few years ago. A random group of people where selected they were first asked if they felt punishment for crimes were too soft, most agreed. They then looked at specific cases with all the details, and in each case when presented with all the evidence - most felt the punishment was too harsh.
Minimum sentences are pure insanity and pandering to the voters.
The problem is that it takes away the option of the prosecutor and judge to give fair sentences, and forces them to hand out minimum sentences for cases where the minimum sentence was never intended.
Examples are plentiful everywhere they have been implemented. 10 year prison for teenager for taking nude pictures of themselves, 4 year prison for _reporting_ child-pornography on web to the police (reporter have it cached on your computer, so in his possession)... The list goes on, it should be unconstitutional to protect politicians from being tempted to introduce this insanity.
So how would you implement a hash function then? Or some iterative functions?
As I said, to be Turing complete you need to add instructions that throw away data, but that doesn't mean you can not calculate the same results as we usually do, you just accumulate "garbage" data. Whenever you use an instruction that throws away this garbage the program stops being reversible.
For many calculations you can keep large parts of the computation reversible, and then only make iterations non-reversible. The more reversible you keep the programming the more power it will be possible to save.
Reversible computing is not that hard, you just have to use reversible operations. You will need an instruction to throw away data though to be Turing complete though, but at least it would make the non-reversible instruction very clear.
Almost all math operation can be written as a reversible operation by make the operation produce a result and remainder.
A + B : ADDSUB(A,B) => (A+B, A-B) A * B: MULMOD(A,B) => (A*B, A # B) etc.
You are both right and wrong, but you are only stupid.
Laws are early science terms. If you want to be pedantic there is no such thing as a strict physical law. In fact in practice law is a weaker term than theory. Opposite of what it is in informal English.
In that sense yes, evolution is only a theory, but so is gravity, not only Newtons but also Einstein's.
Then again both evolution and gravity are observed FACTS - for which why have THEORIES explaining the facts. Theories, of which some have been expressed in form of a series of LAWS.
Facts are observed. Theories explain observed facts. Theories are sometimes stated as a small set of laws.
That is a valid perspective. I just considered anything below 90% secure (and this is not real security checks, just a check for really common mistakes) as so bad it doesn't really matter.
So you can attest that government code quality is _SLIGHTLY_ more buggy than commercial code?? Notice the percentages, the wast majority of commercial code is complete crap too, the percentage is just _slightly_ higher for the government.
Your story is the same story everywhere. Nothing special for the government only more common.
No I think it is the other way around. The argument is that pi using diameter, as in diameter * pi = circumference, while tau (2pi) uses radius, radius * tau = circumference.
However, when you consider that lighting is becoming more and more efficient and most of our personal energy consumption now goes to heating and cooling, the picture changes. Since the Earth takes time to warm and cool each day, the daily temperature cycle lags behind the sun by a few hours. Getting up early in the winter just means more energy spent heating your home and office, and working late in the day during summer means high A/C bills.
Well, then it is a good think DST makes us get up later in the winter and earlier in the summer? (actually winter is the same, but the entire purpose of DST is to get us up earlier in the summer and use more of the extra daylight)
Cross-referencing databases. I guess facebook is in the clear because they only have one database. The problem is cross-referencing personal data from multiple databases.
It sounds a bit odd in technical ears, but the idea is that users can control how much they reveal about themselves and to whom. When data is cross-referenced, then data them only meant to reveal in a specific context is suddenly available in a context where it was not meant to be revealed.
That is only half true. 33% of the electricity _production_ was from renewable sources. Not the consumption. The problem is that wind energy is fluctuating with the wind speed. We are therefore exporting surplus wind energy at very low prices during peak production periods and importing expensive electricity (which can be renewable, e.g. from Swedish nuclear plants) during calm periods. And even worse: every one of these cheap kWh that we export are subsidized by Danish consumers.
It works both ways, and much stronger the other way. Sweden has no oil or coal plants, during a dry season and during peak-hours when nuclear can not ramp up. Sweden have to import a lot of coal-energy from Denmark or face outages in half the country. In total Denmark is a net importer of a electricity, but also makes a net profit. Being pragmatic when neighboring irresponsible hippies is really profitable.
10 years ago the electricity prices in Denmark were the lowest in Europe, even with taxes. Something happened since then. What could it be? The only major change was that we privatized the energy companies.... Hmmm.
Good points, and I do criticize the tree-hugging hippies at every opportunity I get. I just tried to explain why it might be that not everybody does this, and instead focuses on the tree-fearing Fox' sheep.
As opposed to the always calm, unemotional arguments of environmentalists and global warming activists? Come on, there's plenty of emotion (if not outright hysteria) on both sides.
On both sides sure, but there is no emotion in the scientific facts. You can always find people who agree with the reality for stupid reasons, but that does not make it wrong. I apologize if we are focusing more on correcting those that disagree with reality for stupid reasons than those that agree with it, but it just kind of makes sense to do so.

They are actually getting rid of the real dead-weight, is that possible?
Not anywhere I live. It is still illegal for those distributing to distribute it, but it is completely legal for me as an owner to download it.
Also I usually don't have to download the game. Just the crack, a user-mod for a game I already own. Are user-mods illegal, huh?

Downloading a game you have bought is not illegal, why would it be?
It is illegal for people who doesn't own it, for those that do, it is just a valid back-up mechanism.

By not throwing away the input.
Please note that the "Nokia" standard mentioned here is the Micro SIM. Most famous for being used in iPhone4 and iPads...

4/3 pi r^3 is actually 2/3 or of a circumscribed cylinder or 2/3 tau r^3..
This tau thing kind of makes sense, though I tend to call it 2 pi.. If pie is good, two pi is twice as good.
Actually with European punctuation it is 14/3 - 2012 which is around 2008BC or something
