It was ubiquitous, everybody had a minitel at home since it was provided for free by France Télécom.

The white/yellow page service (3611) was free for the first three minutes and was widely used. My parents never had the (huge) yearly book version at home.

As mentioned in other comments it was also widely used to consult Baccalauréat (national exam like SAT) results.

I thought the same as you.

The Wikipedia page on Holocaust victims (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_victims) has a list of the different groups targeted by the nazis. In addition to what other commenters have written there was also: freemasons, spanish republicans from the 36 revolution, soviet prisoner of wars, slovene and romani.

Interesting to note that nazis killed as much ethnic poles as polish jews.

Some strange data appears on this site, the second most popular for the full-frame D600 is a 2004 DX (notably bad) lens. No mentally sane person would ever commit such as sacrilege.

Didn't go further to investigate but this puts a serious doubt on the representativity of the data.

Flagship projects are not a good way to discretly "steal" money from Europe, see Human Brain Computing for instance.

"Semantic Web" did much better by having plenty of millions euros projects funded in FP6/7 and H2020 with absolutely no outcome.

I fully agree and the more kids you have, the less time you have for yourself.

The first option that came was to reduce sleep to gain free time, definitely not a good idea on the long run.
