Aye here in the Netherlands because of the extremely high traffic density they have to do maintenance on highways every 7 years. When they planned the road network nobody imagined that there would be so many automobiles. First world problem

To people who haven't been to Germany: the roads there are not great. Germany did the same thing as the US has: cut funding. You never EVER cut funding on infrastructure. Not even in a recession. It will come back to haunt you.

The alternative is America getting its act together and change their cities into Singapore/Tokyo/Hong Kong. Good luck waiting for that. Infrastructure is not something the average citizen seems to give a fig about.

The problem with the EU is that small, non corrupt and transparent countries like mine can be overruled by MEPs from Romania.

Americans think government is evil and all that. So there's no government rescue plan to build more housing because that's commie talk. So everyone's waiting for the market to fix it.

Ah yes but Tesla is an American company and the media darling. In the real world Tesla is small time. They make only 100k cars a year and their research is being outpaced by the big corporations.

Reminds me of good old Johannesburg where the maids, nannies and cooks had to get up at 4 in the morning for the long bus journey to their work place.

Is there a good reason why we shouldn't club together as rich countries and fund a not-for-profit drug research body that does fund this sort of thing? This already happens with major threats, there was Ebola that got solved quickly. K

Viruses laugh at man's feeble attempts to eradicate them. They will adept. And possibly give you more than a runny nose.

Keep in mind everything is online now. In the olden days you didn't need things like patches or firmware updates. Once a console was hacked you were golden.

Keep in mind the war was enacted by a democratically elected government. There's no diminished responsibility. Very few folks decided to return their passports and emigrate. People liked to blame the Army but everything that happened w

I'm using AnySoftKeyboard now. Data mining and machine learning just doesn't sit well with me even though it can't directly be traced back to a individual. At the end of the day all of it will be used for one thing: selling m

Oh yeah after ditching Swiftkey I was looking for a new keyboard on my phone. So rare to see apps without asking for permissions these days. Don't see that with Gplay.

"It would just break all ads all the time" Sounds like a feature not a bug. Anyways I'm sure tech savvy folks who care about privacy and hate ads already have all the basic angles covered. I know I do!

IDK what your stance is on piracy but you can try out Enterprise LTSC. It only gets security updates. I just want a fast, stable, and lightweight OS. Not really interested in design overhaul or features I'll never use.

Actually here in the Netherlands the health care insurers do exactly that. They negotiate HARD. Funny enough big pharma is usually willing to lower the price for meds. They make up for it by overcharging Americans I guess ;) Same with hospi

Yep, my operator isn't allowed to give out any information without my written consent. And you actually have to OPT IN for the phonebook service. Most people don't. And the sky hasn't fallen, my service is quite good and the

Does the US even have mass transit? Seems to me most cities rely on shitty unreliable bus services.

Enterprise and professionals. And then there's the large group that pirates the software, but those are potential future customers.

Reminds me of how every "expert" said Trump wouldn't win. It was amusing how everyone was surprised to find out there's a whole landmass between NY and California. Fly over country for sure but eligible to vote.

I think he's genuine. Corruption is rotting the Communist Party inside and hurting China. And for all their faults Chinese politicians are nationalist.

Yep I like the idea. One of the reasons why I block ads is because I don't want to aid and abet the marketing parasite. Trouble is that capitalism and greed will take any good initiative and defile it. And then we're back to squar

Common knowledge? No that chapter was glossed over. One funny is story is how the US put a trade embargo on Japan (leading to them launching Pearl Harbour attack) while at the same time allowing US companies trade oil and other resources wi

Meanwhile my own government in it's infinite stupidity is storing confidential tax records on US owned clouds. Apparently they haven't revised their 1950s policy that the Americans are the good guys. Say what you want about Russia

I always get my addons straight from github. That way I'm running the latest version and bypassing Mozilla. But you have to be an advanced user, it is complex now to install an "unsupported" adon.

Daily reminder people are using Apple for everything including their daily banking with Apple pay and Apple wallet. Apple is sitting on a gold mine. Meanwhile OnePlus is just a phone maker. Something to keep in mind.

This is true. In my country all phones have always been unlocked. Your mobile operator just sends you a SIM card that you can then put in any phone you want. Mobile operators don't mess with hardware. Thank god- OEM bloatware is enough

Apple cares about your data, but they just lock you in. That's how people perceive Apple cares about your privacy. I bet Apple at this point knows FAR more about their users than Google or OnePlus does. "There is a lot to be said

How does that work? There's a reason why all the world's biggest metropolises are on the coast. Were would the people go? There are 20 million people in the Tokyo area. And its actually not a problem. Rich countries can build floo
