⅔ may be overestimating, but yes, they're native to all of the Middle East and Africa, and most of Europe (outside of Scandinavia) and mainland Asia (outside of deserts, Siberia etc.)

It was all about "Encouraging more digital adoption by nudging customers to go online to self-solve," and "taking decisive short-term action to generate warranty cost efficiencies."

If you wanted customers to go online to self-solve, you'd write proper manuals, provide well-documented and granular error codes and allow people to run diagnostics on their own devices... By not providing either it's clear the warranty cost efficiencies they're talking about are people giving up on trying to resolve their issue and just buying a new one

That's without considering the time to pack up your bags etc - ie there's a fixed cost as well as the cost per room moved

To minimise the total societal cost, only one person has to leave their room, and by that (or any) one person not making the sacrifice, the average suffering increases across all of median, mean and mode...

It's the opposite situation from where one person can get huge gains to the detriment of many others - eusocially it makes sense to do what's best for the average person

What the US has that Europe doesn't is protected former trackbeds - European governments go around salting the earth after closing a railway so when they want to reopen it in 30 years they either can't or have to spend billions. The US can just reopen it.

"Lucky cucumber" is as close as I can get but needs some mispronouncing of cucumber

I don't think you understand how it works... An upload:download ratio must average (not simple mean, but that's because ratios are nonlinear - I can't recall the mean type but it's the nth root of multiplying them all together) 1 in a system where all uploads and downloads are logged in the same tracker. It doesn't matter who the uploader or downloader is or how recently they made their account. That's what I meant by a closed system.

An open system would be where you download parts or all of a given torrent via another tracker, and the same with upload. The private tracker only logs what you downloaded and uploaded though it, so your ratio from the perspective of that tracker is different to in reality.

Even if you ignore the first 5 files or 15GB or whatever for new users, if you have those files then great but do you really want to turn it into a betting game of seeding supply and leeching demand?

Can code in without code completion or checking the docs: C, C#, Scala, F#, SQL (ms server), js/ts, Erlang, Elixir

Have a general idea of but may need to check things about the standard library every so often: Kotlin, Python, OCaml, C++, prolog

Have used in the past but would need to look up the syntax to use again: Go, Rust, Haskell, Java, Gleam

I'm probably missing some from each category though

Every European: "but my hatred of the French is prefectly rational, does that mean it's not xenophobia?"

Issue is that people like to categorise other people into groups, and so even if you only believe the plausible or even provably true parts of it, if you try and propagate it you'll lose credibility in a lot of people's eyes

Yeah nah

It looks just as similar to pretty much any desktop interface of the past 40 years, and openwindows isn't even the first thing with that design
