This is the second most translated book after the Bible


That is a really interesting list.

The number for the Bible is a bit misleading because it is "at least one book translated". I think the number for the most translated "book" would be preferable. Its a bit inconsistent with how it treats series too.

There are quite a few things that surprised me in the list (either a lot more or far fewer translations than I expected, especially relative to other works in the list)


Wikipedia gives 2191 for "at least New Testament", which I assume means all the books of the New Testament, and 698 for the Old and New Testaments. So it's still #1, since #2 (Le Petit Prince) is at 610.

It wouldn't surprise me if the number for the four Gospels is higher than the full New Testament number.

Yes, and that number is too low because some single books you be translated mroe times.

> So it's still #1, since #2 (Le Petit Prince) is at 610.

I am not disputing that. The Bible is far ahead of anything else.

As there are separate translations of the gospels (e.g. the Lindisfarne Gospels) that must be true. I would be interested in know things such as whether any particular gospel has more translations.


And the Bible had quite a head start!


Yes the brine could just be diluted wih gray water to reduce the environnemental impact without the energy recovery of the osmotic plant and the capital can be invested in other renewable with better efficiency.

That being said it's a first so it's a pilot project needed to have feedback on a real plant in operation and not just back of the enveloppe calculations and suppositions. Sometime you need to just build the thing to encounter problems, issues or non-issues.

25000km is 250 100km days per year. That's a lot.

In France for example the average yearly distance travelled by car is closer to 12000km not 25000. More achievable but still a lot.


Exactly how it's called in french


Heard this in France too from MD. Link between drinking too hot (over 60°C) and oesophagus cancer



Half the children seem to have one in France. My neighbourhood is full of them. Draisiennes/laufräder/balancebikes are a real transportation means as children go every single day to the crèche on them. Some Kids that do this know how to ride and can learn to ride a real bike before 3. You then have to find one small enough

Oh gosh it's been a while. I thought it might have been in r/dataisbeautiful but I'm coming up with nothing. I have a vague recollection of what the picture looked like but search isn't turning it up.
