An invoice being just a few days over it's due date is indeed not really serious. I don't think it's a smart move on the restaurant either, if they had any intention on continuing the contract this just about kills it.

So about 65 trees needed per resident, that might still be doable?
edit: nope, of course being a large tree it also needs a lot of land.
Re:The 'Startling' Link Between Low Interest Rates and Low Crime (2016)
on Tuesday January 16, 2024 @05:04AM (#39011523)
to all the quick replies below, the article actually goes a bit in the possible causation and how higher interest rates might relate to higher financial stress in society and how that relates to crime rates.

At maximum 200 downloads and an expiration of 7 days I don't think anyone will bother to be honest.

I've been using send.firefox.com for months and so far the only downside was the 1 day expiration. Very glad you can now opt for 7 days.

are you familiar with blendle.com ? It's how I tend to consume news these days. I don't get why most news sites don't allow me to pay per article. Very happy blendle exists, just wish more outlets would partner with them.

Ugh does not seem to use feature detection, but some other ugly browser detection scheme :/

Re:Why Space Elevators Could Be the Future of Space Travel
on Monday October 24, 2016 @05:13AM (#12777501)
Well we can already build them on the moon or mars, but there's not much use to do that at this point. The physics of a space elevator our completely understood, it's "just" finding a strong enough material to build the tether. A star trek transporter is still far out of reach.

Re:Reality Check: Have Leave campaigners changed their minds?

The "eurocrats" are elected, there are elections for the eu parlement every 5 years. The 28 (soon 27) members of the european comission are proposed by the member states (eg their elected leaders) and approved by the european parlement. And finally the council of europe is made up of elected national ministers (per domain).
With regard to the rules: you would still have to comply to most of these rules to be part of the single market (which most leave proponents want to be). Studies from WTO and IMF have shown that not going that route (eg trading under WTO rules) would impact UK severely (up to 9% of the GPD). See for example https://www.imf.org/external/np/ms/2016/051316.htm

Most successful FOSS projects are backed by companies who have employees work on them. I would love to see some statistics on pure "hobby FOSS" vs "commercial FOSS" and their deliverables.
Based on my own experience I would say most hobby FOSS projects ship a lot less frequently than the commercial FOSS projects.

Re:Academic Torrents
on Thursday January 30, 2014 @07:13AM (#7150196)
to clarify: torrents are marked "edu" if the user has a .edu address, this makes those torrents stand out. The majority of non us universities do not offer *.edu addresses to their staff and students.
Re:Academic Torrents
on Thursday January 30, 2014 @03:00AM (#7149529)
this seems to be very focused on US academics, at least that is what impression I'm given by labeling ".edu" addresses. It gives a feeling that these torrents/datasets are of better quality.
I'm also missing a catalog on this tracker, some basic taxonomy would be most welcome...
