My son is seven years old and has graduated to books like Zac Power. But two years ago he was into comic books. I think anything which gets them reading is good. With a comic they can follow the pictures then use the words to better understand the story, so it definitely leads them into reading and gives them the confidence to turn the pages.
TFA does suggest though that google have gotten themselves into a horrible mess with their local changes and would be better off by offloading their stuff to the community and taking properly integrated releases.
I have had exposure to this situation. My wife and her family are native Cantonese speakers but live in an English speaking country. In her brothers family there was a huge fight over whether their two kids would be raised as Cantonese or Mandarin speakers (their mother speaks Mandarin).
When I went to their place the kids would approach me and ask me to take them to the park, speaking in broken English. So I would take them out and as soon as we got out of earshot their English would become perfect and they would explode with conversation. More recently their mother took her daughter to swimming lessons. She apologised to the teacher about the poor state of her childs English. After the lesson the teacher told her that actually there is nothing wrong with that girls english.
Children soak up the language which is being used around them, regardless of their parents origin, native language or what is being used in the home. If a western family moved to Japan and hardly let the kids out of the house the kids would still become perfect Japanese speakers. I don't think genes have anything to do with it.
But the children often hide their language ability from their parents. They don't want their parents to feel bad about their children learning from sources outside the home.
many cultures such as the Asians have decidedly different attitudes toward children than we do in the US.
True to a point. My wife is a third generation Malaysian of Cantonese origin. Her families attitudes towards children are pretty much in line with those you would find in a western country. One exception is about divorce. The children always go with the mother. In one case where a mother in my wife's family died the children went to the mothers parents and never saw their father again, which I find a bit weird.
A woman I met from Hong Kong told me that when she moved out of home at the age of 18 her parents pretty much said only call if you are really in trouble. Otherwise...don't..
The differences may come down to R/K_selection_theory but in China where you only get to have one child I expected everybody to be K Strategists.
Though note that the *Australian* vehicle design regulations say your speedo only has to be accurate to within 10%.
You don't even need a speedo for a roadworthy in Victoria. Another poster said that where he lives you can get off a speeding fine if your speedo is out of calibration. Thats definitely not the case where. Your instrumentation is your problem.
The approach will not be easy. You are required to maneuver straight down this trench and skim the surface to this point. The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station.
If the bird has been hitting womp-rats back home there should be no problem.
"The significance of the finding is that a huge magnetic deformation can happen within a few days, like in [the] oceans," said lead author Atalay Ayele, a professor at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia.
And then
The Afar region, known for its salt mines and active volcanoes, is one of the lowest and hottest places on the planet.
Okay thats interesting. In wonder how you would go pumping sea water into it? You would certainly get a sea (or lake) for a while but salinity would be a problem sooner or later. It might do wonders for the local climate.
When I was single I got clever and built a power board to plug into the monitor power source on my PC's power supply. I had that power board running my modem, desk lamp, monitor, printer, etc.
Then I got married and one cold winter day my wife plugged a 2.4kW fan heater into the power board...
Look at a 1/4" stereo jack. Sleeve, ring, tip. -> ground, neutral, hot.
It shorts on the way in and out. Thats why low voltage DC supply uses a different plug. But that type only supports two poles. You can't have earth and you can't have multiple phases.

Funnily enough the roads were there before the cars.

The margin of error is for your speedometer, not for you to knowingly drive over the limit.

In don't understand why parents would do that, given that each family is only going to have one child anyway.
Hard to see how SMS is not compatible with packet switching. TFA just seems to say Voice and SMS everywhere as if they were the same thing.
On the subject at hand I recommend Quarantine
put some kind of roofing over the most vulnerable exterior equipment.
There was a roof over it... but unfortunately they forgot about the tunnel effect...
Should have guessed the Buguette would be made of Electrons.
You have been reading too many Greg Egan books.
Yeah, something called "Rain" comes to mind...
Pretty unlikely in Europe don't you think?
I also want to know why the only thing the Baguette thought on the way down was oh no, not again.
In the other universe where the LHC was running and about to violate causality you were at the writing of this headline and you did kick his ass.

Yes, but what's its unladen airspeed velocity?
I am more interested in the terminal velocity of the Baguette.
I am not sure about this bit:

I heard it used to belong to some ridiculous group claiming ufo defense or something.
SpaceX?
I get broken interaction from slashcode all the time in firefox. The problem may not be Chrome.
We only lost the power supply, though the case still has marks from the smoke.

If there was some move to rewire the entire world with a single residential standard I'd vote for NEMA L15.
Single-phase power is a hack.
Only if you generate three phase power. There is nothing special about the number three. We could use 16 phase power if we wanted to.
