I agree. It is very transparent.

Parliament does not really have a majority vote for continuing talks. But one of the government parties made it one of their election issues so they want to find out if there is a majority support among voters.

I run the count at one of the constituencies. We have about 42.000 people on the electoral register and we'll probably see about 75-80% turnout, so we're going to be counting about 33.000 votes with about 30-35 people on staff, 24

Apparently a system upgrade allowed five individuals to withdraw non-existent money from their own accounts to other accounts. They did this repeatedly over a few days, amounting in about 400 million ISK, or over 3 million USD.

I'm from Iceland, so a latitude of about 64.15 or so. The extremities of the graphs kind of describe how the mood of the people swings up and down all year round. In the middle of summer, around the summer solstice, people are borderin

In Iceland, the president is chosen by simple majority of votes. The sitting president got about 39% of the vote. There were 9 candidates. Of course, this problem is usually brushed off saying that this is a largely powerless office, the pr

+1 for chart.js - use it for most charting needs and even created a Wagtail app[1] that uses Chart.js on the frontend to render charts based on user input. [1] https://github.com/overcastsoftware/wagtailcharts

Seems to work, I'm located in Reykjavik Iceland and the website tells me there is no sun :) Left Side: 0.00% Right Side: 0.00% No Sun: 100.00%

The fissure length at its maximum is thought to be around 4km in length, about 2.5 miles. The output has diminshed and the webcam is zoomed in on the most active part right now, which is probably not more than a few hundred meters.

Here is a video taken from the coast guard helicopter science flight around 1,5 hours after the eruption started: https://www.visir.is/k/3260696d-37f9-4160-9b6a-3862fea52cb8-...

I live in Reykjavik, west side and close to the ocean. From the coast line there it is about 35km or 22 miles direct line of sight to the eruption site. I went out about 1 hour and 15 minutes after the eruption started and saw the lava flow

I think you are misinterpreting this photo. Nobody has been paving over the fissures in the town. I think it's a combination of moisture, different coloured asphalt sections, and light/shadows that tricks the eye. As you can see i

It's not that simple. The political parties mostly support changes in this direction. Surely 33% of the population is not going to have the same views on the economy, taxes, welfare systems etc. even though they agree on this topic. Fu

Me too. Made the mistake of checking out his instagram which had all those pesky normal full res photos and that kind of took the charm out of it :)

It always amazes me to learn to what lengths end users of software will go without asking for simple fixes like these. Some years ago, my team created a web-based portal for a local ad agency. Long-running actions that triggered ajax calls

Reminds me of approach lighting at Reykjavik airport in Iceland. Although not quite as dramatic as Adelaide since it's not in a residential area, it goes right through a very busy road intersection: https://www.google.com&#x

This is insane. I live in Iceland. I recently fell off my bike, got a bad cut on my forearm and needed stitches and extensive cleaning of the wound. I visited my local clinic where a nurse cleaned the wound and a doctor applied 5 stitches.

Sorry to blow the thunder but due to a recount in one of the constituencies we no longer have a female majority in the Parliament. 3 women lost their seats to men.

Yes well separation of frontend/backend is of course a good idea, but most of the projects are mostly django templates with some React sprinkled on top to make interaction and interfaces nicer. It's also a good idea if you have ju
