They are fully aware of the complexities because six million people in Inner Mongolia in China already use this script. The current situation is this: "As of 2015 there are no fonts that successfully display all of Mongolian correctly

30 reported suicides in 2008–2009 in a company employing 100,000 people. This is a suicide rate equivalent to France's average national suicide rate. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-13204168

It's strongly discouraged and looked down upon. Editors with a conflict of interest take up a disproportionate amount of other editors' time and are practically never able to write neutrally about themselves or their company.

It was deleted in 2005 for being a blatant advert, and again in 2010 for the same reason. I doubt it was actually a notable company in 2005. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... [2] http

Absolutely. You could even add fake citations to online newspapers – the odds of someone checking are very low, and I continually stumble upon either blatant fabrications or misunderstandings that have stood there "sourced" for ye

Almost all textbooks and dictionaries use their own transcription key, I haven't come across plain old IPA in language learning textbooks, only in linguistics textbooks.

It's only a sign that we're doing something wrong if you assign a positive value to procreation. Many of us don't, either for ethical reasons (life includes suffering, and you have no right to inflict suffering on someone who

Air traffic control at domestic airports in many regions do communicate with pilots in the local language (even if they're are all able to switch to English at a moment's notice). It's all just jargon, for those of us working

That would be men-who-have-sex-with-men, those with infected partners, sex workers, and intravenous drug users. That is a fairly large number of the population that would be placed on an expensive drug with several side effects.

The drug has several non-minor side effects, is prohibitively expensive, and is the same as the treatment for someone who already has the virus. I for one think it's improper to prescribe a drug with these nephrological side effects to

No that's not the case, the side effects of PrEP aren't minor. PrEP should not be prescribed so lightly.

There's AutoConvert and EverythingMetric for Chrome. The automatic conversion is sometimes a bit annoying as there are edge cases.

Please post substantive comments instead. I would also assume that a majority of 50 year olds would rather work on their own time making good content than have a short lived, strenuous, and micromanaged career in lower earth orbit. Doesn&#x

I feel that's a bit of an overstatement, having studied them a bit is one thing, but most people here cannot comfortably communicate at all in Danish or a 4th language, and cannot read a book in these languages.

I would actually be interested in seeing a crude analysis of this, because I don't know if there is a skew or if we just tend to notice the things that break our expectations. There are a few recent shows where a gay character is a par

This can also be explained by the fact that humans are terrible at estimating percentages. I would assume we'd see similar result for other questions. "3% of the population" sounds ridiculously low, but if you interact with 3

Flights to Iceland are cheap because the airlines' business model is being a hub for cross-Atlantic flights. Later on, advertisers started marketing towards those who were already crossing the Atlantic, encouraging them to spend time i

I'm not sure what you're referring to, the agricultural sector in Europe is rather strong. The US is the world's top exporter of food, but the Netherlands come second.

Yes, CFS does often comes as a result of a mononucleosis, about 22% of adult mono cases have CFS after 6 months, and <5% have CFS after 2 years. It's much better to contract mono as a child. You don't get "tested" for

I have severe CFS, but I personally don't take it badly when someone suggests it's psychosomatic. Since everything I know and everything I feel is a hallucination of the mind, I have no way of knowing what my subconsciousness is i

I just fail to see what exactly tracking teenagers would be keeping them "safe" from. It seems like it wouldn't result in anything but resentment and sneaky behaviour.

As each Wikipedia project is independant, there's not really any cross-wiki communication and the guidelines can vary quite a bit. But I would not have supported this, I just don't believe these kind of a stunts are effective, jus
