Several countries in the EU aim for neutrality. A common front on defense issues is and will always will be difficult to pull of because of that. Additionally some countries have very high barriers for military interventions. Every time the

The EU was created to ensure peace within Europe. The economic aspects are secondary and merely enable that to happen by binding the economies together, so that you cannot start a war or leave the EU without significant harm to your own eco

It's also the purpose of NATO. NATO was created not only to provide defense during the cold war but also to prevent conflict between European countries and ensure US military dominance. There is not and never was a plan for the US not

You're right. The problem is that rich people don't spent much money, they tend to already have most of their needs met. Poor people on the other hand are much quicker to bring their income back into circulation. If you want a lot

Apple is profitable but it certainly not competitive on pricing. Monopolies also tend to be profitable, competitiveness isn't even a concern there.

The receiver now has to figure out what is missing from a stream of data of which anything could be missing. That's equivalent to dealing with missing packets only on a byte level. If anything, that's harder and less efficient to

They don't even have current data on who is currently in parliament for many countries and in the case they do that data is essentially worthless. I really don't see the point of this. If you want to bother at all, you should have

The TZ database has versions and you could at least in theory expose that at a higher level in libraries.

I'm not sure I would call Maya particularly pythonic and just like all the other libraries it's API seems to be focused more on fixing issues in other libraries than actually thinking through the problem.

It does make sense to separate teams who do different things but these teams do have to align and communicate occasionally. Meeting up in person in a meeting room is an incredibly convenient way to do that.

You can work decentralized but it's not particularly great, especially because remote communication isn't a solved problem. You communicate a ton of stuff in an actual face to face conversation through a variety of different ways

What would be the alternative anyway? Imagine a DJ playing a set and suddenly having Windows force an update on them. Linux during some periods barely played audio for regular use cases. If you want good hardware and a reliable operating sy

Hearing aids compensate for a health problem, the goal here seems to be to improve hearing even for those that don't have hearing problems. If hearing aids are glasses, these are binoculars/telescopes/microscopes.

Indeed parents have a duty to their children. Clearly this cannot and should not mean that they're allowed to treat their children however they want or that they're allowed to educate them on what and how they want. There can be

Germany prohibits profit from ride-sharing already and has for a long time. It hasn't stopped BlaBlaCar, Mitfahrgelegenheit and so on.

The end-game you propose has a problem in that they're already companies in that space. It might still make sense for Uber to enter that space, they have the brand recognition others lack. I don't really see how this will generate

The concerned citizens do pool their funds together to pay for their own defence, they do this with a system called "government".

You can't seriously think cities in Europe are all rich enough to be able to afford large infrastructure projects? In Germany at least such projects also involve funding from the state, federal government and possibly the EU, usually t

I have and it doesn't get more accurate. The current plan was in place before Fukushima. What happened is that under Merkel, they increased the timeframe for abandoning nuclear energy after Fukushima, that was reversed after Fukushima.
