The article says meters, not feet.

Norway does. I think it was introduced in the 1990's after Helsinki Accord observers reported the possibility of fraud.

Until then, if you voted early and gave somebody else's name, you could have voted twice.

I don't think this happens often. It would have been included in the report of possible irregularities that is published after each election. I looked through the reports after two or three elections, and never saw reports about this.

English and Old English are West Germanic, Nordic languages and Old Norse are North Germanic. Very close cousins, but neither descends from the other.

I find it weird that English apparently doesn’t have an everyday word for marine bioluminescence. It’s such an academic word. What would traditional sailors and fishermen have called it? In my language (Norwegian) we call it «morild» (sea-fire).

This is true when all network delays between the synchronized device and the time reference are deterministic and accounted for in the configuration. The design of PTP assumes that this is the case. NTP, on the other hand, estimates the network delays to its time references.

Is there any reason to believe that PTP would be better in normal networks?

Could have been more, but Norway was one.

It is certainly possible that a word may differ in gender between dialects. But the way dative is normally expressed in Norwegian dialects is that masculine words get the normal feminine ending and feminine words get the masculine one.

Wow! You have preserved the dative case. "i kerken" instead of "i kerka". Dative is AFAIK not part of any standard Scandinavian language, but remains in some dialects. Steadily losing ground, though.

Nice!

Thank you

I like to think of it as "the law of small numbers"

Interesting how stable French has been over the centuries - at least when judging from these four lines.

By no means the same, but much closer to modern French than the language of the sagas is to modern Scandinavian. Not to mention how far English has drifted.

I am guilty of having taught that to a five year old during a hiking trip. He is now an engineer.

Basically, PTP assumes that network delays are deterministic. If that's true, it is very precise. If not, PTP is the wrong tool. NTP assumes that network delays are stochastic, and uses sophisticated algorithms to account for this. PTP has much simpler algorithms, which can be implemented in electronics, where internal timings can be characterized. NTP is more complex, and tends to run on a general purpose computer. This adds internal OS timings to the uncertainty.

Reindeer do gather on snow patches in summer/early autumn to avoid insects.

Weird. The few lines on preview page look like Danish, except "runet" which looks like English "run" with a Danish past participle ending. I don't see anything that looks French.

I would read the next to last line as: "you have run ashore?"

We all knew. I learned about CO2 greenhouse warming in high school in 1974. At a lecture at the University of Trondheim, Norway, around 1980, (in)famous physicist Edward Teller joked that we of all people shouldn't be worried about global warming.

Augustus lived into his late seventies partly due to his poor health, which forced him to stay away from many of his battles.

Did you try taking the elevator 10 floors down and walking back up? Or just 5 floors down and returning at a light run?
