Missing: Service Workers and web.bluetooth!

I remember one thing in "Se questo è un uomo" (If This Is a Man) by Primo Levi. In Auschwitz camp, where money, trade and basically private property rights were abolished and where they tried to destroy all what makes people human, Primo Levi mentioned there was always trading. More than that even some informal "stock exchange". Every object (food, cigarettes, shoes, etc) had a price and it was fluctuating based on the laws of supply and demand. This makes me think how exchange is deeply engraved in human nature.

tl;dw please?

More impressive to me is the fact that Britain is still paying interest on a debt from 1720 (due to South Sea Bubble krach)

They asked Trump who asked Bill Gates to "close up the internet".

  Look back also in the early 1900s where all major newspapers were proclaiming the end of world and massive famine if we ever reached 1 billion people on Earth"

"It is estimated that the population of the world reached one billion for the first time in 1804." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_milestone_babies

One of my personal favorite:

stp = !git stash && git pull && git stash pop

same here but I switch to master first:

resync = !git reset --hard HEAD && git checkout master && git reset --hard origin/master && git pull

or with a parameter to do the same with any branch:

resync = "!f() { git reset --hard HEAD && git checkout $1 && git reset --hard @{u} && git pull ; }; f"

I would name them "down" and "up" instead.

Not to say Appenzell Innerrhoden people can be seen as Amish people of Switzerland (even in if fact they probably have very little in common).

"Documents were collected for up to 700 000 people (about 10% of the population)"

Is the 700'000 people the total between 1900 and 1990? In this case the "10% of the population" number is probably wrong.

Isn't there another name for this syndrome that would fit better with this particular situation?

> much of the Netherlands is lower than sea level

interesting fact, actually from this site http://www1.american.edu/ted/ice/dutch-sea.htm it said "Half of the country lies below 1 meter above sea level, with an eighth of the country lying below sea level."

The article mentions https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

does anybody know:

- How much work is required by week?

- Pre-requisite?

- Programming language used?

Other feedbacks?

Microsoft has never been "cool" and I can tell you, even in the 90's.

It may be related to the fact this year is a special edition: the 10th Google IO edition.

From the website: "To celebrate a decade of working closely with the developer community, we’ll be hosting I/O in our backyard at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, a venue that has played host to some of the world’s biggest entertainers and events."

> Most people don't realize that a language's accent is a physical thing. Your throat, nose, tongue behave differently when speaking different languages. If you're French, you can't speak English while keeping the same physical arrangement of your mouth and throat than when you speak French.

Interesting theory but as a counterexample in Switzerland in the western side of the country people speak French natively and generally their English accent is way better than the English accent in French people. I think it has a lot to do with the culture of the country; for example the protection of the language is not considered as important in Switzerland as it is in France. In France radio stations have minimun quota for French music, something unthinkable in Switzerland.

Obligatory quote from Charles V: "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse."

in French there is an expression for backpfeifengesicht, "tête à claques" (i.e., the kind of face that deserves to be slapped) that is commonly used

my favorite one: rosinenpicker, a person who eats the raisins in the cake

Microsoft, IBM, Cisco, etc., etc.

Some very good observations.

Otherwise a few points, from the copy here (clearly a 1st ed): http://cs.upm.ro/_users/cursuri_on_line/Alte_documentatii/C%...

"void didn’t exist in the book (although it did exist at some point before C89; see here, section 2.1)" -> There are many occurrences of void in the document above.

"It appears that stdio.h was the only header that existed" -> From the document above many other headers are available (string.h, math.h, etc.)

"Note that return 0; was not necessary." (on the main function) -> return 0 is not necessary in Standard as well (even if the semantic of omitting it is different between C89 and C99).

Rousseau was not French but Swiss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Rousseau
