Not all html pages - what about hackernews? It's mostly tables with minimal CSS (a bit of padding and font*/color), I bet it continues to be perfectly rendered practically indefini…

Wouldn't you rather share a garden with insects? I would.

Radius of 6 km is comparable to the size of Halley's comet :-)

About 200 actually (you mistook the diameter for the radius). https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+au+%2F+radius+of+the...

Indeed, natural science deals in models , not 'the truth'. In most cases 'correct' isn't an option, rather a degree of accuracy. If it's consistent with the measurements, or even b…

It's got 80-120 ish bits of entropy, why is it not secure? (Assuming you're not referring to it literally being a well known password from a web comic.)

Wouldn't have thought sick people make the best revolutionaries.

Is the early adaptor included?

Very interesting. Will add it to the (already large) "eat lots of (and a good variety of) fruit and veg and do enough exercise" pile of life advice.

None of the links in the sister support home ownership being below 50% in London. The third link shows a difference between white and non-white British ownership levels but that's …

Budapest isn't the whole country, but your point is correct, Hungary is certainly a highly developed country. Not G7 levels, but close.

The gp might have been thinking of more interesting methods of cooling - space sunshades, aerosols, massive creation of artificial snow... (not sure if the latter is a net heat los…

~= means not equal in MATLAB. Also it often means one's complement (C and others). Hence the gp used it to mean NOT.

Why did you migrate? I was given the option to but haven't (yet, nor been forced to).
