Tesla is invited to the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) for an introduction to the rules of the Norwegian labor market.

Title is wrong.

Cyberpunk 2077 beats Elden Ring, but is far from the most played single player game on Steam.


Title is mostly correct. Cyberpunk 2077 currently has the highest number of concurrent players on Steam of any single player game.


Single-player only game.

Which means Factorio and Civ6, among others, are right out of the discussion. Because those games support multiplayer, even if its relatively rare to have multiplayer games on those.


They provide two install methods: 1. Regolith Desktop via Repository (PPA) 2. ISO image with Regolith on Ubuntu


Not in the EU. The Batteries Regulation signed the December 10th 2020 aims to ensure that batteries placed in the EU market are sustainable and safe throughout their entire life cycle.

the mafia doesn't make batteries.



oh for sure, not denying that.

but - regulation should make the good thing easy: battery construction rules must require ease of recycling and recycling itself should be the easy default option in practice, not just on paper. it can be done. no profit for the mafia left in that case.


The Internet need something like this for all languages, not only english.


This question comes up a lot. The source to our production pipeline is GPLed and freely available,[1] but the biggest part of why we produce good work is that we have a high quality manual of style.[2] Unfortunately, that second part is very specific to English, and that’s the difficult part to replicate for other languages.

Not that I doubt you, but what about the manual is very specific to English and wouldn't work for other languages?


From a brief look, the typography section of the manual is definitely language specific. Different written languages often have a much different typographic convention; depending on the language, different countries using it may have major or minor differences in conventions. And of course, there are different interpretations of the convention; they've included by reference a specific version of the Chicago Manual of Style. For another language, you'd need to at least need a different exhaustive manual to reference, as well as changing or reviewing the specific guidelines.

That's work that really needs to be done by a fluent, literate user of that language, hopefully with background in that language's literature and experience in copyediting, and familiarity with publishing. It's not really work you can demand of someone who did a good job (I assume) of it in English; they won't do a good job of it in another language without deep experience in that language. Developing and publishing the works in the language also needs to be done by people fluent in the language.

The example of the English version can be a guide for other languages, and there's of course room for collaboration on software between languages, but asking the English language project to expand to other languages is unlikely to get good results unless the developers also are fluent in those languages.


I'm curious, why xhtml instead of LaTeX?


When we edit, we’re literally building a standard ePub3 file, which natively uses XHTML as its document representation. The pipeline then produces alternative versions of the same file. We could work in LaTeX, but it would reduce our contributor count (more people know XHTML than LaTeX) and we’d need to transform it anyway, with the potential of introducing new bugs.


We're working on a fork of Standard Ebooks focusing on Spanish.

We're actually looking for Spanish-speaking collaborators:

For Japanese, we have Aozora Bunko [1]

In Poland we have 5649 ebooks done so far by https://wolnelektury.pl/


Americans are so afraid of the government/socialism that it has sold itself to corporations. This is one of the prices you 'll have to pay.


They should continue to feed their horse.


It's crazy that people actually buy the qc20 when you can get just as good active noice canceling for $20 eg. from Bluedio.


I'll have to check those out, thank you. Gotta admit I've only personally tried qc20 and qc25, but most reviews of new NC headphones that I've read on The Verge still hold Bose as the standard-bearer of high quality NC. Everyone else, even the very expensive stuff from Sony, seems to come very close but not surpassing the bose NC stuff.

edit: maybe it's a little self-rationalization for paying so much for the QCs. I'll have to give those Bluedio's chance before shelling out anymore to Bose


They also have a nice web interface https://playbeta.pocketcasts.com/web/


There's a native OSX app, too, which has been mostly ok for me, so far. A few bugs occasionally, but it's better than running in browser in my experience.


When regular cars first appeard vehicles had to be led by a pedestrian waving a red flag or carrying a lantern to warn bystanders of the vehicle's approach.
