Better than nothing.

If we have to overbuild green energy to get a reliable supply, use the excess on things like this.

It's also has a directly measurable output (...input?) - I would prefer that money was spent on this rather than carbon offsetting, which is basically a scam.

I planted some spring bulbs last autumn, but it looks like I didn't plant them deep enough as a lot seem to have fallen over. Others.are fine though, so will see what survives.

2M globally, or just per user?

the link to the wikipedia page with the audio clip really helped, made no sense without that.

Untaxed maybe?

And AMD or Intel are better? Everyone complains about the drivers.

I think this was one of the few EULAs I actually read though, mostly to see if I was going to sell my soul to them as part of it.

Did not, but was not disappointed, their lawyers definitely got to have some fun.

That's fair, I read the other comment about it actually being the common language throughout India which is interesting. I guess it's just a more extreme version of the US/UK/AU English differences, we may differ over time, but should remain close enough to understand 99% of the time

Skylines is complicated?!?

Fair enough I guess, have you tried citiesXL? Older and dead but even more of a city painter I believe.

I read something ( similar to this) about the maximum data transfer per second in different languages being basically the same.

Some languages with less nuance, or fewer letters/syllables have less information per syllable, but tend to speak faster, while more 'complicated' languages have more information per syllable, but tend to speak slower.

The general trend was a maximum amount of speech 'data' that could be processed by an average human brain per second.

No idea how this would relate to second languages, and how people with 'fast' languages react to speaking 'slow' ones. Would be cool to see some data/research on it. Anocdotally, a lot of people struggle to understand Indians speaking English, is that because of the accent and/or poor English (second language, don't diss them!) or because they are speaking faster than our natural language data speed?

Bear in mind - software salaries are MUCH less outside of the US
