That seems to be everyone above 16 years of age. It excludes inmates, that is penal and mental institutions (which in the land of the free is surprisingly sizeable chunk). Also excludes active military personnel. Notably it includes peop

We once had a rather angry Irish customer calling our support complaining that we called him a pikey (slur for gypsy). After some back and forth it turns out we just gave him an apikey. We never had a similar issue with our random numbers&#

That is a very weird take to me. That big slam presumably is the spring breaking, a lot of energy released at once in a rather uncontrolled fashion. The same energy will be released if you make a mistake installing it or the spring is fault

Without knowing details, I can only assume you are misunderstanding something. I and everyone I worked with have bugs prevented by FK constraints. They prevent getting data to be in bad state, instead of it piling up and expensively fixing

I make mistakes all the time as a developer, I would hate to be fired for them and if I would, I would never claim responsibility. And that's why I don't get how people expect directors/managers to be infallible. Taking respo

Slightly related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castle_Bravo A thermonuclear test yielded much, much higher energy, due to unexpected lithium 7 reactions.

Don't know, seems like a good explanation. We have a number of machines that can take CO2 out, the "enough machines" is the problem. - they either require space (forests or whatever) - are hard to produce in sufficient number

From what I can tell you can choose where your donations go, so you can focus on poverty and let skynet exterminate us humans if you'd want. https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/donate/organizations

Stumbled over a (German speaking) youtuber, "Held der Steine" (Hero of the stones) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVtbNWH_9So Who reviews "Bricks" of all kinds including Lego. He consistently is annoye

Well, depends, fundamentally it's a paradox. Either US company get's the data from the Italian one, making the Italian operation illegal in Italy Or The US company doesn't get the data from the Italian one (despite ownership)

Apparently it's thought that meteorites hitting the ground freeze water around them after a bit. They get heated up, but it's pretty short, so the bulk of it is "space temperature" only the surface is heating. And a lot

Reminds me of the "myth" of putting a Radeon GPU into the oven on low heat for a while if it was broken. I tried it when mine stopped working and indeed it fixed it. Also another Radeon card was identical as a more powerful one, e

You may be shocked how much more you can get, I heard of being able to identify the movie/tv show you are watching based on power consumption of the TV based on brightness. Obviously depends on how granular the smart metering is, but i

I like the affordability too, but it also does not take into account edge cases. Our office door has this metal plate, it pushes outside (I believe it is that way for fire safety reasons). If there is strong wind on the outside, the door ha

Don't know about I_Byte, though I could have written what he has written. I can now actually afford games (in the quantity I consume them) now, so that question is fair. But thankfully the video landscape fractured, now you better have

My sibling comments are a bit cynical. Considering the widely reported stress on health care workers during the pandemic I'd suspect that number may be higher than one would think despite the millions working on throwaway products. Obv

I think the "suffer"/"rehabilitation" is only one of the important aspects. There is a selfish component as well, do I want to have low crime. A successful return to society facilitates that (life sentences for all

That doesn't seem true. Picketey's (probably misspelled) "capital in the 21st century" has a compelling argument for exactly this kind of tax. And my realization that I can't see it implemented ever, is about as chi

I don't think those reasons are true for the "lack of entrepreneurship". I'd love to know some numbers actually, I know EU doesn't have as many unicorns like Uber, Google, Amazon, etc. But that is a tiny amount of p
