Not all html pages - what about hackernews? It's mostly tables with minimal CSS (a bit of padding and font*/color), I bet it continues to be perfectly rendered practically indefinitely. At least snapshots on archive.org from 2007 still look perfect.

Wouldn't you rather share a garden with insects? I would.

> bioinformatics, systems biology, computational biology

Of those bioinformatics is more specific (usually genomics data); the other two are overlapping and pretty non-specific terms.

For example I started a Sys Bio PhD and ended up in a Comp Bio research group. A friend started the same way but ended up in control theory/microbiology.

The title and even the department are somewhat arbitrary and more to do with the organisation at the university than anything else (e.g. I was in CS but my friend was Engineering I think).

If you can find a good interdisciplinary course they will be familiar with people moving around depending on their interests.

Radius of 6 km is comparable to the size of Halley's comet :-)

Try turning off javascript.

About 200 actually (you mistook the diameter for the radius).

Indeed, natural science deals in models, not 'the truth'.

In most cases 'correct' isn't an option, rather a degree of accuracy. If it's consistent with the measurements, or even better if it has predictive power, then it's useful.

It's got 80-120 ish bits of entropy, why is it not secure?

(Assuming you're not referring to it literally being a well known password from a web comic.)

Works fine in UK English too, although the "r:uk" modifier is often needed.

> using an inflation calculator defers to someone's idea of what a basket was

In this case that someone is Greg Clark (Professor of Economics at UC Davis). The link goes direct to a .xlsx which reveals the "basket" and all the figures - it's a mixture of several (presumably average) wages and a "cost of living".

This is probably the research paper (2009) http://faculty.econ.ucdavis.edu/faculty/gclark/papers/Macroa...

Sadly tyre, brakes, and road abrasion apparently account for far more particulate pollution than the exhaust does. I'd like to find another source for this because it's so surprising.

The only solution I suppose is no cars.

OK, matched grid prices without subsidy, and cheaper than coal in a fifth of cases.

As your example numbers here show though estates are often better for storage than crossovers. So there must be other factors behind crossover popularity.

Their being higher is a big factor I bet (less stooping and more road visibility, although the latter is less of a factor as they get more popular).

Right, but decades ago coal was the cheapest source of power. We didn't have cheap renewables in the 70s. Solar is cheaper than coal in China.* They could certainly grow (at least) no slower by building huge amounts of renewables rather than coal.

*(I'm not sure if this is on a "spot" basis or annualised to account for intermittency, but then it probably doesn't account for the negative externalities of coal either so let's chalk it up to a draw.)

Wouldn't have thought sick people make the best revolutionaries.

Is the early adaptor included?

Very interesting. Will add it to the (already large) "eat lots of (and a good variety of) fruit and veg and do enough exercise" pile of life advice.

None of the links in the sister support home ownership being below 50% in London. The third link shows a difference between white and non-white British ownership levels but that's it.

Budapest isn't the whole country, but your point is correct, Hungary is certainly a highly developed country. Not G7 levels, but close.

The gp might have been thinking of more interesting methods of cooling - space sunshades, aerosols, massive creation of artificial snow... (not sure if the latter is a net heat loss)

> at least less than half

"Households in London were fairly evenly distributed across the tenures, with half in owner occupation and half in the rented sectors."

Section 1.10 in https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/english-housing-sur...

To get the number of voters you could weight by average occupancies but I don't know what those numbers are.

> "hey" as a greeting

I blame the US TV series "Friends" for that.

Curiously the OED doesn't (yet) have this greeting sense.

~= means not equal in MATLAB. Also it often means one's complement (C and others). Hence the gp used it to mean NOT.

Why did you migrate? I was given the option to but haven't (yet, nor been forced to).

Ethical consumer did a report on this very recently.

It's definitely complicated, but their take was:

* Best: second-hand, recycled, or organic

* Middle: lyocell products (Tencel and Monocel), linen and hemp, followed by Modal, acrylic and polyester

* Worst: conventional cotton, non-lyocell viscose, rayon, elastane, nylon and wool

I wonder how this compares to the several grams of plastic per week consumed from drinking water.

Small bag. It's the diminutive of "sac" (bag).

Fair question. Some rough maths incoming..

There are 174 turbines in an area of about 300 sq km. If they were laid out on a grid the grid size would be about 1.3 km. The blades have a diameter of about 24 m.

Feels to me like that's far enough apart to not massively affect the wind.
