We use, if needed, apostrophes or upticks. 2'999,95. No danger of messing up between . and , that way.

Also let's just wait until that person learns that not every country separates into blocks of 3 and how many options of mixing and matching there are in use.

Wäre spannend wenn es nicht nur 1 Wert pro Partei gäbe und wir stattdessen einen Box plot oder Violin plot pro Partei sehen würden. Dann könnten wir bessere Aussagen über die jeweiligen Verteilungen machen.

I'm sure there's a joke in there about Paraguay being on the receiving end of a lot of Nazis fleeing to South America after WW2.

I've seen variations of a snarky "I never had this problem on Linux" one-liner comment so many times that I have to resist the urge to write "I never had this problem on Windows" every time I see a Linux user asking for help.

I've actually successfully used this very flowchart to date the globe I have in my room as a hand-me-down from my grandpa.

My interpretation was that he was fainting because she looks so stunning. On second look, yours seems to be closer to the artist's intent though.

There are also three "Data Flow" labels (two for the same arrow even) and I'm pretty sure it says Intemal Docs, which makes sense for and AI to mess up too because of similar m and rn look.

The “5 seconds after they started moving” is relevant. If we assume this takes place on Earth (i.e. on the surface of a sphere with a set pair of north/south poles), the angle between the two vectors changes depending on their current position.

If it's not on the equator, it's also slightly up to interpretation if "Due East" means they'll turn to stay on the same latitude, always adjusting to stay moving east forever or if they'll do a great circle. In the former case, the north moving one will eventually get stuck at the north-pole too instead of continuing their circle around the globe. Most likely not within 5 seconds though, unless the place they started was within 25 feet of the north-pole.

To actually do the math we'll need to know (or somehow deduce) where "the place where everything about them began" is though.

At least yours were taught by actual people.

My girlfriend showed me recently that one of her profs made an AI clone of himself (voice and visual) and distributed prerecorded lessons that way. Who knows if he's even writing the script for it. Probably not.

If you are guaranteed to get something for your money then thats not gambling. Thats just a purchase.

I cannot agree with this at all. If you're guaranteed a piece of candy, but on top of that you have a 0.0001% chance of getting a million dollars, then buying that candy for $100 is absolutely gambling and not a purchase.

I wonder if they're talking in absolute values (not smart in this case, obviously). All those listed countries are rather small, so the same % immigrants would just be a lower number...

 
 

About half a year ago (time is fleeting so I'm not sure how accurate that estimate is) my friend showed me the trailer to an upcoming MMO.

I don't remember a lot. What I do remember is that the art-style, including characters, looked similar to Minecraft/Hytale, but less blocky on the world side, characters did look blocky though, I believe.

I remember a scene where about 30 player characters invaded a small fortification with wooden palisade walls. At least one of the player characters had a staff or wand that would allow them to use fire magic.

I believe the game was advertised as one of those "you can build outposts anywhere" kind of games (the ones that never work out) where that group of 30 players raided one of those outposts.

I'm not sure what stage the game was at, but I believe it was a kickstarter campaign/looking for funding.
