I’m here to let you know you are wrong.

I made an anonymous edit to the Wikipedia page of one of Hemingways short stories three years ago, and my edit is still there.

I was wondering why something so mean, basically bullying this guy, was on the front page of hacker news. Glad I skipped to the bottom and read the apology.

The arrest in Oslo were a married couple from Signapore in their 60s. The man was fined and 8000 NOK for admitting to flying the drone and might get deported. They were flying in central Oslo, and it seems unrelated to the drones in Denmark.

There were also unconfirmed sightings of drones around the airport in Oslo. The director of police states that "It is still unclear what was observed. There are conflicting interpretations of the observations that were made".

Lots of vim users do that too, in fact the ADM-3A terminal vi was written on had ctrl where caps-lock is now and escape where tab is.

In scandinavian languages we differentiate between opening and closing quotes, too bad they are not supported by python « open and close ».

I plan trips to Germany every year because you really do need immersion to get to even basic fluency.

That's not necessarily true, unless consuming lots of media in the target language counts as immersion. I became fluent in English without ever traveling to an English speaking country.

The last sentence of the abstract felt especially unnatural:

since spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations such as local communities or school environments spread via social media is no longer restricted to specific locations such as schools or towns.

But you can't tweak Newton's laws, because we know Newton's laws aren't the right laws of gravity. The laws of General Relativity make better predictions. So what you would have to tweak would be the laws of GR

The invisible planet OP is talking about is Vulkan[0]. We modified Newtonian gravity to explain the orbit of Mercury (instead of discovering Vulkan), the modification is GR.

OP is implying that maybe we have to modify GR like we did Newtonian physics.

This is why we have force vacations in Norway where it's the employers duty to ensure the employees take out their 5 weeks of vacation. No one gets reprimanded for taking vacation, since everyone has to take vacation.
