It seems pretty off, though. For example, the page for Iceland says that winter is the peak time, but it's actually pretty dead in the winter with the peak in the summer. Seems like people start planning their summer trips around December (plane tickets for Christmas?). Other places seem shifted up a month or two - the page for Paris has the peak season around May-June, but it's actually more like June-August.

OP, if you want to improve this, could you get some actual tourist data and experiment a bit with which other metrics (various Google searches - something like taxi services might be more accurate to estimate how many people are actually traveling in the country at the time, hotel prices, plane ticket prices, etc) best predict the tourist numbers?
Yeah, this was really all about ethics in google journalism.

Or, alternatively, you just happen to be among the people in the manosphere that pretend the last 20 years didn't happen. Because otherwise there would have been a minimum of engagement with the actual argument, namely that some (alleged) statistical difference between the genders just isn't relevant, it's only confusing what is with what ought to be.

That was a typo, '91 should have been '81, and even if the default display was monochrome text CGA really was available from launch.

Seems to confirm it was available from the launch date and I distinctly remember a job for a company in Edam that had an early PC which had color graphics as well as one at a bank in Amsterdam that also did color (at very low resolution, but definitely color).

By '91 we were well into 486's and high res color (but not using IBM cards, but VGA wonder and the various Tseng cards were doing just fine).

I'd say I don't sacrifice much. I spent a month income on vacation this summer, went skiing in the alps this winter. I have hobbies I enjoy where I don't cheap out on gear or experiences.

I'm privileged to have an income that enables this. But still I'm baffled on how my peers with the same income use all their money. And I don't really see how they are able to spend most of their money, and how they benefit from it compared to me. For comparison, my salary is about $70K in Norway.

IF I'd felt I now sacrifices something of importance, it still would be worth it. I can take years off and do what I want, switch to a lower paying job with higher QoL etc, retire early or other things, while those not making the same "sacrifices" will have to work.
Yeah!

Best time of year is subjective!! All Lonely Planet guide books solve this problems by explaining what each place is like at each time.

Eg, for Yosemite, it describes how during summer it is rediculosy busy & hot, so you might prefer to go during the shoulder months, but then you risk having some of the park closed for snow. So, "best weather is subjective".

Likewise, there are many locations, such as Thailand, where the best time to travel is winter. It's too hot in the summer!!

No, people really do live in fear of online mobs. You don't hear from them because they can't participate due to their anxieties. Sure, these fears can be irrational and overblown but they are real to them.
They have to focus on their competencies but they also have to completely reinvent themselves every decade or so or they will die. Once the iPhone is gone, Apple will be gone.
This is actually depressing, i save over 1500 € / month in Belgium...

But, i need to invest more. And then again, i don't spend money on stupid things ( perhaps reason #1 why people can't save money.. I don't need the latest iphone or anything. My car is used from 2008, some people just want to buy a new one and spend 5x as much for a vehicle)

I was a huge fan of the Baldur's Gate games back in the day, but never got around to playing the IWD series, which were based on Bioware's infinity engine. I played the enhanced version of IWD1 not too long ago and, of course, had to play IWD2 to satisfy my completionist OCD, even though that meant a little bit more fiddling to get it to work properly.

Verdict: Go play a newer RPG like Pillars of Eternity instead. While I'm sure some people have very fond memories of the IWD series, it has not aged well. The story isn't particularly good, and IWD2 rehashes a little too much of IWD1 for comfort. It is undoubtedly possible to give IWD2 the enhanced version treatment. It's "too costly" because IWD2 just isn't very good, and likely wouldn't have strong sales.

"Holding an opinion I disagree with" was not one of the enumerated examples of "certain crimes".

The crimes that were listed are very good examples of how we have lost the rule of law. The internet is allowing the average person to realize the two-tier nature of the justice system and extent of systemic corruption. After suffering through decades of abuse from systems that were theoretically "of the people", how do you expect people to react?

Hint: Sticking your head in the sand and pretending these problems don't exist isn't a good long-term survival strategy.

Neverlang:  Sectional Compiler Framework
"PC culture" is nothing new. In fact it's as old as humanity, and arguably even extends to other species.

Opinions, and speech, have power. Otherwise there wouldn't be a point in engaging in it. "Having power" is synonymous with the ability to cause harm. Therefore, some speech is harmful.

When someone spreads opinions that someone else considers dangerous, a deeply human mechanism kicks in: criticising/shaming/isolating.

These aren't new mechanisms. Beginning with the first species that formed groups of cooperation, i.e. societies, there was a need to establish and defend group norms. Today, the harshest mechanisms to correct people who behave in ways that are considered harmful are criminal laws. But long before we get to the level of crime, each one of us uses a repertoire of behaviours meant to inform you of your transgressions, and to put the perceived cost of them on you.

This starts with your father's raised eyebrow when you're interrupting your sister (again!). It's the teacher calling you out for being lazy. And it's the teammates not talking to you after you lost them the match.

These mechanisms escalate along with the perceived harm. It starts with subtle hints that you should work more diligently, and only when such attempts fail, it escalates to direct appeals, or even the loss of your job.

Political opinions aren't somehow exempt from the judgement by others. If there's a real danger that a reasonable employer will fire you for you political opinion, don't ask "who will be targeted next?". Ask just how far from the pack have you strayed?
The funny thing about "Rache" is in the original story it was the other way round. :)
If clickbait journalism deserves most of the blame, how much responsibility do engineers bear for creating a world where responsible journalism struggles to survive financially? Or do we shrug our shoulders and say that this is the cost of a world where information should be free?

ICE = Internal combustion engine

Off the top of my head:

- At certain temperatures and pressures you have to consider icing in the carburettor, which will block air flow into the engine.

- You have to tune (lean) the fuel input to reduce fuel consumption and prevent spark plug fouling, but not lean it too much that you overheat the engine.

> due process whenever possible

There's no such thing as "due process, sometimes". Fair treatment is only fair when it's a guarantee.

If someone is the victim of a crime that goes unpunished (and in many cases uninvestigated), then due process failed to serve them too. I say unpunished for lack of a better word -- it's a case where society allowed them to be victimized/targeted of a crime.

Fuck, can we figure out how to resurrect Bill Kunstler somehow? We need him now more than ever.
It has a "point buy" system where you can add and subtract points, so only the total is really useful.

Different classes also have different minimum stats - so the calculation is actually rolling 4d6, excluding the lowest, and then rounding up to the minimum if necessary. This means multi-class characters (who might have minimum of 13 in two stats instead of the usual 9), or odd classes such as Paladin who have a minimum 17 charisma end up with much higher average totals than other classes.

It's an entirely broken system, designed for pen and paper D&D where you roll your stats and then choose your class based on what you get, adjusted for video game players who prefer to choose their class first.

There is some irony in the things you're saying:

> Retirement is the golden carrot dangled in front of us for all our working lives ..

And then:

> .. and the average lifespan was 64 years (1 year before retirement)

Wouldn't it be more rational to try to get as much happiness and fullfillment from the years you spend working and healthy, instead of waiting for those few years you might have after your retirement? And maybe, if you don't have much money to spare, it would also be more rational decision to spend your money now instead of saving it for an age which you might never even reach ..
YES, this! Who on earth does that?
Yes! I save roughly half. I don't plan to live on where I am right now in the future, so basically every month of working means 2-3 months of "not working" in a cheaper location.
I don't work in CL for a living but it is my main go-to language (also at work). It is worth it to put some time into even though there's not a big market asking for CL directly.
People have always felt threatened by world views different from their own, our history shows exactly that.
Being constrained by the communication medium is not an excuse, consuming "bad" content is not an excuse, nor is it the problem. In my opinion the problem is caused by pampering these people and giving in to their demands just to shut them up, like we do with children. In both cases the result is disastrous.

Are we going to sacrifice the teachings of the enlightenment at the alter of political correctness?

It is my belief that these people are a minority. They are just very loud.
You can't rely on that, so don't. Self-driving cars should drive defensively too, even if for them that may mean half a second rather than two seconds.
I do the same (actually I live on more like 40% of my take-home), and I don't feel as if I've sacrificed anything.

The amount I live on has slowly gone up since I started working. It's just that when I get a raise or promotion or new job, I don't spend the new cash flow, I save it.

A couple years from now I'll probably be living on 30% of my take-home, but the amount I spend every month will probably have gone up slightly.

The question you should be asking is how much do you sacrifice by not saving?

I could get fired tomorrow and my bills would still all be paid for years. When I retire it's going to be in a big house with kids and grandkids that have their college paid for. I can retire at 45 if I really want to. Knowing all that is incredibly comforting and peaceful.

Just the feeling is worth it. I used to spend my entire paycheck on bills and put the next month's spending on a credit card. My net worth was negative. That way sucks. This way is better.

People probably thought I had more money before because of all the useless flashy crap I bought. Fuck those people, I'm doing way better than all of them now and I know it.

I used to drive a really nice car thinking it made me seem important or something. Now I know only idiots are fooled by that trick, and to everyone else the car just made me look broke and stupid.

Indeed, the kind of visa discussed is actually one of the more difficult ones to get. Most people come in on category based visas which have more restrictions, but more lax requirements.

So you can have an electric plane for primary training, and ICE as the next step?

So much talk about LIDAR and other sensors. Why nobody talks about obvious idea of Road Object Message Bus? ROMB is a protocol where each road object (a traffic light, a sign, a car, etc.) can transmit info about itself. A car could broadcast its direction vector, intention to turn, any non ROMB moving object it sees. A traffic light could broadcast current state and when it is going to change. That additional information would greatly enhance overall security, especially during rain and snow conditions.

Self-driving is such important (just after eliminating combustion engines) that we could upgrade existing cars with cheap ROMB boxes. Vehicle GPS tracking system costs about $30. ROMB box would cost about $60.

Let's say a car ROMB received info about the white truck, while your car cameras and vision recognition systems see just a cloud and any truck in 50 m range, that conflicting info should cause the car to slow down.

Not just in America. I don't have any saving at all, and a lot of people around me neither, and I'm in France.

Now theoretically, we all pay regularly to the state for that. But in practice, none of us believe we will see the color of it when we grow old.

Last week a dear and poor friend of us said she wanted to go to school again, but that the one she wanted in cost 5000€/year and she didn't have the money.

We secretly discussed to create a common money pot to pay the tuition for her. I suggested that we all put 500 € each and solve the problem.

All the participants were all above 30, none of them had children, all of them were working. Half of them don't even own a car, as in my city it's a useless expense. Yet it was a rude awakening: most of the people at the table could not afford such an amount. Even once in their life for a very old friend.

So we discussed a bit, and it turns out most of us don't have any saving and just live by the day. Comfortably, granted. They are not poor, they eat well, they have clothes and can afford pleasures. But if anything happen to any of us, we are screwed. We have no buffer of any kind.

The cost of life is, of course, part of the cause of this. But also the fact that our lives are very instable : breakups, job changes, moving in/out, make it hard to save. It's also a cultural problem: enjoying ourself have been more important that savings.

But there is also another issue: individualism. The thing is, most of us could probably find 500 € to give away. But the solidarity is not strong enough for this effort.

So if friends won't get out of their way to do that, I have little hope that society will solve the retirement puzzle. People care about _their_ retirement, not about everybody's retirement, not how society will find a balance or how their neighbor is going to survive.
