They are fully aware of the complexities because six million people in Inner Mongolia in China already use this script. The current situation is this: "As of 2015 there are no font…

It's not wrong but it is confusing – it's showing you what its current status is, which should be shown somewhere else than in the timeline.

The page says that as of today (2020-01-01) the status is active. The wording is confusing.

30 reported suicides in 2008–2009 in a company employing 100,000 people. This is a suicide rate equivalent to France's average national suicide rate. https://www.bbc.com/news/world…

It's strongly discouraged and looked down upon. Editors with a conflict of interest take up a disproportionate amount of other editors' time and are practically never able to write…

It was deleted in 2005 for being a blatant advert, and again in 2010 for the same reason. I doubt it was actually a notable company in 2005. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip…

Your first source is a bad one but here is a review: [1] The association is really not strong but the authors do advice against indiscriminate paracetamol use. [1] https://www.ncbi…

Absolutely. You could even add fake citations to online newspapers – the odds of someone checking are very low, and I continually stumble upon either blatant fabrications or misund…

It's an app for children. Would you not expect to be ousted from Club Penguin for repeatedly starting discussions about Abu Ghraib?

Almost all textbooks and dictionaries use their own transcription key, I haven't come across plain old IPA in language learning textbooks, only in linguistics textbooks.

It's only a sign that we're doing something wrong if you assign a positive value to procreation. Many of us don't, either for ethical reasons (life includes suffering, and you have…

That would be men-who-have-sex-with-men, those with infected partners, sex workers, and intravenous drug users. That is a fairly large number of the population that would be placed…

The drug has several non-minor side effects, is prohibitively expensive, and is the same as the treatment for someone who already has the virus. I for one think it's improper to pr…

No that's not the case, the side effects of PrEP aren't minor. PrEP should not be prescribed so lightly.

There's AutoConvert and EverythingMetric for Chrome. The automatic conversion is sometimes a bit annoying as there are edge cases.

Please post substantive comments instead. I would also assume that a majority of 50 year olds would rather work on their own time making good content than have a short lived, stren…

I feel that's a bit of an overstatement, having studied them a bit is one thing, but most people here cannot comfortably communicate at all in Danish or a 4th language, and cannot …

I would actually be interested in seeing a crude analysis of this, because I don't know if there is a skew or if we just tend to notice the things that break our expectations. Ther…

This can also be explained by the fact that humans are terrible at estimating percentages. I would assume we'd see similar result for other questions. "3% of the population" sounds…

It's not due to cochlear size, we lose sensitivity to high frequencies because the hair cells slowly degenerate with age.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, the agricultural sector in Europe is rather strong. The US is the world's top exporter of food, but the Netherlands come second.
