Moving to another country is a nightmare because you cannot bring your phone number. I am currently paying for a US phone number I don't meaningfully use, because it's not clear that all of my important account-holding organizatio

My experience is that the major limiting factor in finding partners is whether people "click" with me, not whether people are single. In other words I'm better off going to an event with my kind of people and looking for th

Do you still feel uncomfortable if you cannot see outside the train at all (i.e. not even in peripheral vision)? My understanding was that the effect was caused by the scenery outside the window moving in a way that's incommensurate wi

Discreet users, or discrete users? (I initially assumed you meant discreet, i.e. not wanting to share login details, but the comment read oddly as a result.)

I assume you're referring to the graph on the page you linked. Is there an explanation somewhere of exactly how it is calculated? I tried to read the "article" underneath the graph but it just seems to be a disjointed collect

My impression is that it's a technical case (not just about software, but really also about how accounting evidence should look) and that it was subverted by misleading testimony from the needed expert witnesses. I don't disagree

Triple damages, that reminds me of something … if you happen to live in Massachusetts you might be able to send them a Chapter 93A letter (which entitles you to triple damages if they don't attempt to settle in good faith)

I watched the demo video but I can't get over using E in the bass in bar 5, where D would normally be expected. (Yes, it should be possible to use chord V11 here instead of IV if you really want, but you would need to fill out the ha

You're organising the office dinner party and each employee has brought exactly one spouse (who is not an employee). You wish to seat the attendees alternating employees and spouses, perhaps so that the spouses feel maximally included

No, we're just in an equilibrium where everyone reclines. To be a PD it would have to be better for everyone if nobody reclined. We're in, perhaps, a tyranny of the majority, but those are everywhere. As I'm sure you'v
