There were the so-called Subsequent Nuremberg Trials (12 of them). Among them were the trials of IG Farben (gas chamber supplies, Zyklon B) and Krupp (armament of the German military forces in preparation of an aggressive war) I'm unde

No horse either but here is an attempt (ignoring criminal record as you say): Opening the border and letting her rip is clearly not sustainable in the medium term. So you try to make it (reasonably) hard to get in incl. turning people away

Not sure I agree with 'appearance [...] is much worse'. Given the choice between a class room of first years who believe (in themselves and) an appearance of calculus knowledge or a room of scared undergrads that recoil from any c

no. there might be some mild advantages (less environmental damage? also protection from excessive IR+VIS?) But in the published testdata listed above there are mineral sunscreens promising 50 SPF and not getting there either. Combined with

We used to love riding in them at our university in the late 80s/90s. And when you proceed to ride over the top will the car flip upside down? We managed to scare at least one of our classmates into believe this could happen. The whole

The 1951 UNHCR convention [1] would like to disagree that only an entitled line of thinking presupposes rights of refugees. [1] https://www.unhcr.org/about-unhcr/who-we-are/1951-refugee-co...

"TERRAIN, TERRAIN! whoop whoop PULL UP!" -- the makers of the Terrain Avoidance and Warning System (TAWS) thought that this extra information was useful. Maybe the timing is different or maybe it's just cultural.

I am quite impressed by their transparency. However, I need to decide on whether to replace my ailing laptop with their 13" model or whether I can limp along until the glorious 16" comes along. How likely do you think is it they w

Well, that pair of Ethiopian immigrants might be doing OK [1]. Immigrants from Africa esp if they are blessed to come from places where English is taught and education levels are higher do particularly well (e.g. Nigeria) and appear to outp

Yes. 12kWh/kg chemical energy for kerosene, a little more for avgas. But with a 25% efficiency you are only getting 3kWh out of a kg of fuel. Electric motors tend to have higher efficiency -- maybe up to 75% so you might nearly get 500

That t is not entirely useless (non-native Russian speaker here). Even the pronunciation of 'check' has a starting t sound in it: tʃɛk. Without the starting t, you might end up with something that could be spelled sheck in English

I'm sorry but you have to improve on the very first example that you are using to showcase your stuff. What is a graph supposed to tell me where the X axis goes from pages per session to avg time per page? Why are there continuous line

Isn't information retrieval potentially more costly if you have to search over a larger sea of useless blocks. Certainly is the case in my garage+house where I can now store way more than I ever could in previous stages of my life.

I was attempting to simplify the multi-version php setup I have in my small-scale server setup and noticed sabre needs PHP 5.4 and apparently doesn't run with php7 [1]. I wonder how much interest there is to upgrade that dependency at
