According to the article, Norman influence led to double letters being used to better mark out sounds, which achieves the same as diacritics. It made English mostly good enough (failures like 'lead' are rare). Being good enough, a

I find the power asymmetry is in my favour. I give money to the bookmaker or I don't. If I don't, then the bookmaker is powerless as regards my money. If I do, then I also gain some power over the bookmaker's money. I don&#x2

I think you are right that most people who want to ban such activities want to go back to the former situation where people could only bet on sports with friends. Their position is different to mine.

I don't want to stop those who enjoy it from enjoying it for the sake of those whose decision making doesn't interact well with its legalisation. I think others care more about preventing people from acting in ways that have negat

I've never heard of asking vs guessing culture before and don't know much about them, but, based on the article, I'd say guessing looks more transactional. It uses a shared history and remembers past favours ("I gave him

A team I was on hired someone because I dug up an emulator he had written in the past (I think it was of some Nintendo console). I took a quick look at it, showed it to the other devs on the team, asked the candidate about it to check he re

If there was a proxy service that acted as an ip mask, and there was a list of the ip addresses of such masking proxies, then could EU customers using such services solve the issue?

He’s worked with React and Svelte. He didn’t think he could get it done in time with React. How do you know he is wrong?

I talk about political matters for ideas, education, and stimulation (mine and the other person's), rather than to beat them into taking on my position. I'd certainly walk away from a conversation long before I'm worn down in

I wonder how difficult it will be to apply the filter to human generated content.

But they do, so it is probably best to include a short note stating the purpose of the desired conversation. This will also help prime many people, and thereby improve the conversation, so it is probably worth doing even if the person won’t

Ideally, I'd rotate it between the countries that have a historical tie. I think that is India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, and the U.K.. That would allow all the communities with a connection to share in the benefit.

So it is an open that has had international organisation layered on top. That does make more sense, in terms of how it got to where it is. Another possibililty would be to relax the geographic grouping of the events. Maybe the Meta sponsore

The principle of open contest* avoids the problem you cite. Such a problem is inherent to international competition*. The mixture of limited open competition (multiple entries per country) introduces a fault into the system, which corrupts

You've learned to tell apart the meaningful from the meaningless. You've done this by the age of twenty three. Your time was only wasted if you don't take advantage of this excellent foundation. Go forth and do that which you

He can't charge more unless someone will pay it. It doesn't matter what he feels entitled to. It is just supply and demand. Like many others during such inflationary periods, he might simply end up with less purchasing power.

The fisherman seems to like his life, but I'd find it tedious. Plus, if everyone lived the life of the fisherman, then we'd find it difficult to maintain all the things our society provides. Maybe that would be better, but I doubt

I imagine you'd explain before recording what is going on (assuming you don't just fake the entire thing with some friends), rather than doing anything as silly as suing anybody. It wouldn't take more than a token amount to g
