I'm not very good at these things but it always struck me as odd: SAYING that a bitcoin is worth 1$ doesn't make it magically SO.

Is there something wrong with that? The guy who introduced social security for the elderly and in my country got a statue in Parliament.

In the Netherlands we have no jury system. Its your smart lawyers vs. the governments smart prosecutors and at the end of the day 3 smart judges decide. Exceedingly boring and technical. Meanwhile in the US it is a circus. Literally anythin

I guess for a lot of people its impossible to believe that the ancient Egyptians really BELIEVED in their religion and society. Hell you could easily wonder today why entire cities spent a century building cathedrals instead of sewage syste

Yes the Netherlands. There was some grumbling about "romance" but most marriages end in tears and legal trouble anyway. And women are supposed to have their own income in modern society.

That's an oxymoron.

You can get married without sharing assets. In fact in my country this is now the default option. Everything you owned before marriage will remain yours.

Governments don't like black markets, untraceable transactions and people hiding their assets. You may not agree with it but there IS a rationale behind this.

Lifetime subscription. Well I guess if you use a goldfish as your standard lol. I do feel a bit for TomTom. Bought a €120 nav set 3 years ago and the thing still works like a charm. Haven't spent a dime because of free updates and the

Feature of the industry. It would take a new corp entering into the chip industry hundreds of billions and decades to get where Intel is today.

Lol how American centric. North Korea has so far gotten everything they aimed for. The Olympic games, continued nuclear program and the cancellation of US military exercises. And North-South diplomatic talks without US involvement. Apparent

Because interest rates are ridiculously low and VAST amounts of money are looking for ANYTHING to invest in.

Its free, open source and it works in all the apps I use like BBC and YT. No noticeable impact in battery.

I hate this, its my system let me do what I want. Besides there's already a browser for the mainstream audience and its called Chrome.

Made a Facebook account ages ago in order to avoid someone opening own with my name. Haven't looked at it in years but they keep mailing me.

Decentralisation of populism? In my experience every populist movement can be traced to a single charismatic leader with a dictatorial streak who promises the moon and the sky to the hapless masses. I am and forever will be thoroughly unim

Yep. We're down to Safari, Edge, FF and Chrome. Everything else is just a fork of one of those.

They want to become a mainstream browser again. A less evil Chrome. Commendable I guess but I have no interest in supporting the internet economy.

Native advertising still has to be marked as advertising. In theory you could easily block them if you want with a cosmetic filter. Personally I don't mind advertorials if they have a subject I am interested in. Native advertising is b

The elite of the world own trillions in US treasury bonds. Its why the US can continue to run up their national debt. The US is the safe deposit box of the world. There's simply not enough debt elsewhere to rival the US.

More interested in what Montana's representatives voted in Washington about NN. Oh and Trump is going to be reelected. Calling it.

They could stop running as Republican candidates. Just an idea.

Sadly the US only has two political parties so none of that even remotely matters. Amusing how a country with a thousand different religious denominations only has two political opponents isn't it?

by Feniks 9y ago
You can't, the US is too dysfunctional and corrupt. Current administration has realised this and instead of aiming high opts to go low. The EU struggles in vain to get their tech sector off the ground and China is doing their own thing

The media didn't really talk to gamers. Looking back its clear the media really bought into the "everything is going to be smartphones" and "Apple is going to kill Sony, Microsoft, Google and God by the grace of Steve Jo

EU is not a country. It does however represent the world's biggest unified market. And as the US clearly demonstrates: taxation is better done centrally.
