For disabled people who can use their arms and propel themselves, a wheelchair is low-maintenance, dependable, repairable, self-powered, and generic enough for there to be a healthy market and not too much vendor lock-in. Wheelchairs are no

Why did you include OpenStreetMap in your list? OpenStreetMap already allows for disputed borders (and there are a lot of those). If you look at the border of Russia, you'll note that Crimea is included: https://www.openstre

When is it a crime, and how can the viewer tell? That popular Beast guy does stuff which amounts to humiliation or torture too, depending on the viewpoint. This case reeks of actual abuse, but consenting adults can do all sorts of things wi

From what I can tell looking at teenagers in the Netherlands: healthy kids have normal bicycles; kids who actually have to cycle 20km from some village to get to school often get e-bikes (somewhat sensible); those with upper middle class pa

It's not targetted by pressure groups at the moment. MasterCard isn't acting out of its own moral convictions here, so don't expect these rules to be enforced wherever they might apply.

No, what is reported is that older high school kids who vape take up smoking tobacco because vaping is perceived as childish by that time. This is from a Dutch newspaper article interviewing one of the researchers from the Trimbos Institute

In the Netherlands the scientific Trimbos Institute has been reporting this based on their regular demographic research polls, but health care professionals are drawing this conclusion too. Near the end of high school vaping is something th

Don't worry. The pushing of tablets will soon be gone! To be replaced by the pushing of tablets with AI. Because it is inevitable, so they better get used to it in every aspect of their educational career. I wish I could state with cer

Since sharing Netflix passwords is a breach of their terms of use, that's not really a compelling argument. I doubt streaming services are looking to make passkeys the only way to authenticate devices though. Too much competition, and
