I am just wondering where to find those 5%. Any one with a clue?
Just look at the map on page 3 of the report.
It shows most of Africa, the Middle East, and southern Asia with the worst pollution. Countries at higher latitudes have much cleaner air. Canada, the United States (apart from the San Joaquin Valley and areas of the midwest), and large areas of Russia, Northern Europe, and Australia have pollution below the WHO guideline. Western Europe is pretty good, but Germany and northern France have particulate pollution higher than the guideline.

Though "GmbH" is still awkward, and as an American I've got no idea how to pronounce it.
Try "gee-em-bee-aitch".

"However, we are concerned by the alleged findings you had conducted."
Is that even a sentence?
Don't worry, that's just slashdot editors doing what they do best.
TFA actually states "we are concerned by the alleged findings you cite with respect to the proportion of soy content" which is much more gramatical.

Comment Spotify is zero-rated (at least in USA) (Score 1) 61
because it puts rival services such as Spotify at a competitive disadvantage
That article sucks. It makes it sound like Music Freedom is a music streaming service, but it's not. At least in the USA, there are many services which fall under the Music Freedom feature and are all zero-rated. Current list is 44 services. Spotify is one of them. I agree that letting T-Mobile decide that music is free but other data costs you isn't in the spirit of net neutrality. I'll be interested if they appeal.

1, an aside: why does the Slashdot AI/GS* think "You may like to read" a year-old story about a shooting in relation to this article? ("10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College") Seriously, fuck that thing. It's USELESS.
Because that story has 1165 comments. That "Related Links" widget just seems to show the stories with the most comments. Yes, it's USELESS.

"The bill was created last year allowing companies to gag orders relating to National Security Letters."
That sentence in TFS makes absolutely no sense.
I have to guess that it should say "allowing companies to challenge gag orders" or something like that.
