The train from Italy to France stops for 20(?) minutes just across the border and police walk through that carriages and look for “suspicious” people. They never made it up to 1st class where we were sitting. Then the train continues at 300km/h
Just this guy, you know?

Faithfully projecting a globe onto a flat surface is impossible and all projections have to balance a number of compromises. Mercator retains compass directions and the shapes of land masses but entirely sacrifices relative scale between equatorial regions and polar regions. This makes it great for navigating a 17th century vessel. Other projections strike a different balance, like this one, and sacrifice compass direction and land mass shapes in order to perfectly retain scale. On this map, my little Arctic island looks like someone stepped on it.
IMO a balanced projection will compromise on all the nice properties a projection can have, and if that isn’t acceptable, then get a globe.


Sure you do. You go there for the Indian food and the Thai food and we have a Burmese place we go to each time we’re in London.
And sure, might get some bangers and a pie while we’re there.


Icelandic here. Still no summer.
Just kidding, it was Tuesday last week.
Unflavoured, unsweetened, full fat yoghurt is the only yoghurt. You’re thinking of sweet, vanilla low-fat yoghurt.


Plan9 all the way!


No it did not. But it may have wronged it.


That’s returning a “406 Not Acceptable” response. I’ve never even seen one except in http docs.
Would that be a problem when travelling to the… oh, right, we’re not doing that anymore… would this be a problem for Europeans travelling to Canada?
So… they chose to make a very Pixel-specific OS and you’re mad at Fairphone?


I do not.
See my other response to your pre-edit comment.


How about this, this is a real easy one. What type of function is this:
There is a theorem that “all smooth functions are locally linear”. In other words, most “normal” functions are indistinguishable from a straight line on the graph if you zoom in far enough.
So that’s not just not an easy one, it is an impossible one.


Or you can just admit you dont have any data to quantify your assertion that AI advancement is exponential growth.
Ah, that’s a fair argument. LLMs growing exponentially is just an assertion being made and we’re supposed to believe that then the steep growth must be just around the corner.
But all over this post you’ve got heavily downvoted comments that sound like you are misunderstanding exponential functions rather than doubting that they’re the right model for this.
We might be on the steep part of an S function right now.


What decade are we talking about here?


Yeah, I’m pretty sure I saw her in a place called San Martino.


Do you also expect the cost of titling and taxes be included in the advertised price?
As a European, yes. Absolutely fucking yes. I drove a Model 3 away (a while ago obviously) with all papers in order paying exactly the listed price.
Statista puts their 2024 GR at $164 billion. That would make a max fine of $6.5 billion per year. I’d almost be willing to just take that deal.
Fines for violating GDPR can be up to 4% of the previous year’s global revenue. Not just profits. Not just within EU. They’d have to fully withdraw from the EU market to flaunt the law this egregiously.
Not really. Being married to an EU/EEA citizen he’ll get a residence in any of the other ones. But having a full passport will cut down on paperwork in the long term.
Also, it’s nice here in Italy. Come over! The wife and I have been here for 7 years and once the bureaucracy is dealt with it’s (mostly) quite pleasant.
So those would be the model S and X electric outside handles and not the 3 and Y mechanical ones? Yeah, that seems like a safety issue.
