Yes, this has to be where the picture originates. Given that almost all maps show the north facing up, picturing the Earth rotating anti-clockwise around the Sun throughout the year makes sense. A bit similar to how clocks for the times of

Right. If viewed with the north pole up, Earth indeed rotates counterclockwise around the Sun. Not sure if it would be any different for someone living on the southern hemisphere though, as all the maps used globally have the North up and t

No but possibly used same schoolbooks. An image or such in an old schoolbook could indeed seed such a visual idea.

Love it! One weird thing: the author of this clock/calendar portrays the year rotating clockwise (click on the calendar icon in top left to see the "annual" calendar): January in 12 to 1 o'clock, February in 1 to 2 o&#x2

What stops you from going to work one hour early, so you get off earlier as well? Most employers these days allow flexible working hours. And if we are permanently moving our clocks to advance by an hour, why stop at just one hour? Why not

Surely the S&P 500 index regularly closing at all-time-high levels while this "hurting" was unfolding is a valid counterpoint? Meanwhile, all European stock indices continue to underperform their American counterparts. The ret

The goal of tariffs is to strengthen your own domestic manufacturing economy. Under high tariff regime, domestic manufacturing gets a pricing advantage over imported goods. The best scenario is if you can get other countries to not place re

But is that really happening? If that was actually true, Trump would obviously have no leg to stand on. But what we have seen instead is exactly the opposite - countries are scrambling to strike "trade deals" with Trump no matter

Maybe Trump is just doing what's good for America and he's strategy is exactly being unpredictable and chaotic. This is stressful for others and they make political concessions to please him in exchange for a period of stability.

Bigotry. They are completely open that LGBT and other minority rights offend them, and they want to punish those who support such rights. These people are far more concentrated in urban centers. Spite politics is the ultimate form of post i

July 20, 2016 was a Wednesday and the screencap shows Friday. First 20 July Friday before 2016 is Friday 20 July 2012. No idea how to pull historical UK weather data to see if it matches :)

Whoa, had no idea this existed. Wild stuff. Might be "somewhat" confusing to read assembler code like that without knowing about this particular technique..

Interestingly, your phone number is actually not stored on the SIM card. It instead holds a globally unique ICCID number which your operator links to your account (phone number) on their systems. This actually makes it possible to transfer

Ukraine was not and still is not economically strong enough for war. It just suffered an unprovoked invasion by its neighbor and had no option but to either capitulate or fight. I hope I am not biased but it really does not seem comparable

I would think the PS/2 -> USB-A adapter in this chain is a smart one.

Looks like the company expects to remain operational during the bankruptcy/restructuring, so I would say yes.

I didn't mean to say that n would need to be 2 or more, unary functions (I even mentioned factorial) should be fine. 1-tuple is valid tuple :) And yes I think your analysis that only allowing n-ary funcs with n>=2 would make general

I think you have a point, but as others have commented "allowing functions" is not the problem, as fundamental math operations are functions. But if we limit ourselves to only functions that map (tuples of) integers to integers

Slack can't just willy-nilly hand over US government data to the public. There's a process that needs to be followed for FOIA requests as some classes of information are just not public. In fact, most of the data on a government S

Most companies don't need to become processors, only those who specialise in providing financial services to others. Unless you have a very small company you already probably have an accountant or bookkeeper. In most situations, the e-

The purpose of this is to reduce manual work. In Finland, we've had mandatory electronic invoicing in all B2B transactions since 2020 (based on domestic standard called Finvoice which is very similar to PEPPOL.) It is really great. M

You're absolutely correct. At least Nokia Symbian phones had this feature.

Interesting. The bulletin lists "OpenWrt 19.07, 21.02 (for MT6890)" as vulnerable, but OpenWRT had indeed no security advisory out for this: https://openwrt.org/advisory/start Maybe MediaTek has shipped some
