The limit is imposed by the OSM API itself, and it's a matter of how much data is already mapped in the area you're requesting -- a max of 50,000 nodes according the API docs. Of course data density varies wildly across the planet, so you can expect to fetch a lot more acreage in rural areas than in urban ones. But there's no way to know if a particular bounding box call will succeed without trying it out.
Editing software could be generally aware of high and low density locales and advise accordingly. And it could subdivide a large request into smaller ones. But the JOSM developers prefer to offer a closer-to-the-API experience.
As a beginner use the editor built in on the website instead (called ID). JOSM is a great power user tool, but this article's recommendation to use it for your first edit is misguided.
OK, but what about visualizing numbers, words, formulas, graphs etc? Do they count? They have no color, no characteristics other than the text/logic content, yet I visualize words and numbers all the time.
It depends on if when you visualize e.g. an "8", you visualize something like a lemniscate turned 90 degrees, or e.g. visualize a number line, e.g. maybe a straight line with dashes at the 7, 8, 9, and with these dashes having e.g. some visual label, and so on.
I.e. if your "visualization" of eight is something like a picture, such that I can show you various pictures and you can say "yes, my visualization is sort of like drawing A, but also has such and such elements from drawing B", and so on, then, yes, this is clearly not total aphantasia. But if no such picture could ever have any similarity to your visualization, and you are somehow just experiencing some kind of non-pictorial "logic content" here, then, yeah, that sounds pretty aphantasic to me.
Nope, they ARE all faked ads. I'm really not sure why anyone would think otherwise. The only exception being the CS gambling sites which turned out to be owned by the guys making videos/streams showcasing them "winning" (with fudged probabilities it tuened out).
As you move from country to country, employment laws and tax laws change as well.
Your employment contract will probably be illegal in some countries, and this could cause legal troubles for both you and your employer.
Depending on how much time you spend in a country (and this threshold may vary from country to country), you may be required to pay taxes there. This could as well affect the employer, who may also be required to pay part of your taxes.
I'm not saying that it's impossible, just really really hard, both you and the employer would need to hire an expert on taxes and labor law for each country you go to.
Exactly. What I've seen done when people really want to work outside the country is they are given the option to quit and become a contractor. That puts most of the risk on the employee to handle the country specific regulations, along with all the other contractor type risk (and benefits).
(and this threshold may vary from country to country)
To be more specific: this depends on treaties between the country of residence and the country of employment, so it can vary for every combination of countries. It may even mean that taxes are due in both countries (double taxation), and getting a tax waiver in one of them may require legal proceedings and/or expensive accountants.
It may even depend how close you are to the border. E.g. between germany-austria-swiss, you have grenzgänger status if you are within 30 km of the closets border, which may influence your social/ healthinsurance and your income tax
From the way the abstract is written, I think it was done with the intent of conclusively disproving that assumption. I don't know how much difference a study like this will make to people who make that assumption, but whatever difference it can make, it reads like it was intended to.
It much depends: if trains are very frequent, train stations easy to reach and you only take one single train, that's one kind of experience. If there's few trains, you have every day the anxiety of risking to loose the train and the be very late, or in some cases, absent for the day.
If the train station is hard to reach, you have stress along the way.
If you have to switch three trains, you cannot concentrate on your book/podcast/whatever, because you must always check if it's your stop, and then maybe you have to sprint to take the next train.
Typical management/leadership. Everybody must go back to the office because some people miss working in person, and nobody's allowed to be fully remote because not everyone likes it. Nobody cares about the people who prefer working remotely and who work worse in person.
I think that at this point, whenever someone tells us that we, or something we value, is important to them, we can safely consider it an insult, they are just giving the middle finger to us.
Our European visitors are important to us.

My favourite example of how making a statement intended to seem to soften the message ends up coming across as an insult are the automated "we're sorry for the inconvenience" messages at UK train stations when there's a delay. Every time I hear one, my immediate inner monologue is "no you're not - if you were actually sorry someone would deliver the message manually, and sound a bit embarrassed".
If you've gone to the trouble of automating an apology, I'll instantly assume they don't care, and be insulted that they think we're dumb enough to fall for it.
Great work!
I join the margins bandwagon: when displaying a single column, it would be great to be able to have a not too big page width, as very long lines on a desktop monitor are hard to read.
> The area you tried to downlaod is too big or your request was too large.
And no indication whatsoever of how big the area should be, I'm at my fifth attempt so far.
