What you say may be true in US cities, or in the countryside. For me, living in Tokyo, it is really cheaper not owning a car but renting it when I need to, or hiring a delivery service. I guess that the same happens in most major European c

I think it would make sense that Hertz cars have cameras, but the memory card should be visible by the customer and he should be able to easily delete its contents.

The fact that you eat chocolate ice cream doesn't affect my health, only yours. The fact that you drive a car affects the health of everyone living in the city, takes a huge amount of public space, and makes cities ugly and less habita

I don't know how often you buy new refrigerators, but I would rather hire a delivery company every time I change my refrigerator if that means living in a clean city. On the other car, the ban for private cars usually has only effect d

Many European cities have 30km/h zones where the term jaywalking makes no sense because people has always priority over cars. I really thing life is better in cities where people has priority over cars. But it is also true that the low

That same concern existed 150 years ago and the truth is that we are still working the same amount of hours as before. We just don't do the same things for living. There will always be jobs to do. Most of the manufacturing and repetiti

You can see it that way: the main goal of the agreements that have been signed until now between Greece and the Troika was to protect the interest of the big fortunes even if that mean misery for the citizens. Lets be clear, big mistakes ha

Well, they expected to make a good profit borrowing a huge amount of money to Greek institutions. They took the risk, they lost. It's not black and white, but from all the people who has responsibility in that failed business, I don&#x

For anyone reading this. First rule: If the boat didn't sink, never abandon it. It is relatively easy for a rescue helicopter to find a capsized boat. Not so easy to spot someone swimming. Also, you can probably manage to stay out of t

For the カビ in the bathroom, just dilute some bleach at 20% and put it in a spray pot. Apply once a week. Problem solved. Same for the mold washing machine. Do one cycle with about 200cc of bleach. You can also wash dirty white clothes.

So, if I understand well, people with mental disorders cannot access to medication if they cannot pay for it? People with mental disorders use to have trouble to find a proper job if they cannot threat their issue with medication. So maybe

I don't think it is necessary to have one password for every single system, but three or fours tiers of passwords. And just keep in mind that there's one password to "rule them all". That is the password for the primary

For laptops, I think it would be a good idea to be able to filter by actual screen resolution, rather than PPI. Comparing the performance of the CPU, would be more interesting that the model/brand. Also, adding an option to show the we

Probably, the point is that European and USA folks have different ways to measure success. I guess that for a Scandinavian or a Swiss guy, working 60 hours a week, and not being able to see their kids grow up, would be a personal failure. N

Yes, but the article is about companies hiring talented people, not about being hired. Also, having developers with a minimum competence, a good business ambiance will make the difference, more than hiring a supposed coder-rock-star.

If you are moving out, then you bring the trash of the old apartment with you and you throw it the day that you are supposed to throw it in the new neighborhood. It is a no-brainer for Japanese. Been there, seen that. :)

Yes, well, I guess that allowing people buying military vehicles, and driving them on public roads is all what you need for a successful society, isn't it?
