I disagree, Overall I find that Germany really strikes a good balance. Nice social security net, nice salaries, very low criminality, free school and universities, nice public transport. What else do you need to have a family? Real estate i

I never experienced corruption in Germany, people have always been very honest. However I don't navigate in the business sphere. I did notice strange things which suggest corruption, like constantly rebuilding perfect roads, every time

It's true that they tend to miss the big picture, but their attention to details is their strength. In my line of work we take german stuff because they took care of the annoying little details that competitors just ignored. On the oth

don't forget the big infrastructure project like BER which entertained me a lot. A story I like particularly is the Phantom of Heilbronn (related to another big scandal: the NSU) which I think explain what is happening: Germans have a

Well, Toyota had the sticking gas pedal issue 10 years ago: they did not implement a brake override when the gas pedal was stuck. This was a recommended feature by European manufacturers when they introduced the electronic throttle, appare

Is "move fast and break things" a good culture for airplane manufacturer? Airbus is known for making good software, they earned their reputation by releasing the first fly by wire airliner (a320) in 84, which forced Boeing to go

they are silent, and my guess is that it maintains expertise in designing military nuclear reactors which France need in their SNLA (submarines launching atomic bombs).

we have dying cities and poverty in Europe, but it does not devolve into crime. Each city in Europe have at least a suburb where crime is more prevalent, poverty is a contributing factor but not the only one.

That is why you imply, or what you want to hear. 1. France never did a genocide unlike other European countries 2. Mitterrand knew he was dying in 94, I don't think he had an agenda. 3. A French soldier born in France cannot recogni

So, we speak about people who decided one day to kill their neighbours with machete. France and the French have nothing to do about it whatsoever (and the report confirms this), this is just nonsense. Guilty of late intervention, maybe, but

In an engine, there critical parts are the rpm sensor and fuel supply / ignition. Failure of one of them means an engine not running. Now on top of that you have emissions regulations which force you to run an engine with 100% function

When you work in the industry writing software which can kill people, it is not so difficult to raise up your voice and say no when it could threaten life of people. Even if you are wrong it is still useful to raise your concern, as this wo

What I meant was that you should appreciate the quality and forget about quantity. At 2-3 glasses every night, I bet that you just drink the same thing over and over, so yes I agree with you that you are bordering abuse. I used to do this

never really understood this severance. You can drink without getting drunk. I like to drink good beverages, but I don't like being drunk, so I just take a few glasses.

Very active, I find it much better than reddit where I usually cannot find anything useful, the UI is awful on reddit. The real interesting thing is that there are a lot of threads for very specialized topics (e.g. bikes, mattress, pizza ov

Soooo, there is no trickle down and that took 40 years+ to find out. Well the issue now is that capital moves so freely that it became a piece of cake to avoid taxes.

It will probably help, but let's not forget that every politicians in the UK was blaming the EU for any unpopular law they passed, rightly or wrongly. The british press was no better.

There is always some issues among people and some nasty stuff can happen, but overall there is more mutual help than in the city. What I miss in the city is this kind of help easy to get by in a village, for example I cannot ask a farmer t

Moving to the countryside and starting a legal action on a local is not the best way to make new friends.. I hope that this law will refrain people from going to court, which is a new habit in France.

The thing is that farmers nowadays are required to have huge surface to survive. The cereal market is now global and they compete with mega farms in south america and Russia. I think non farmers don't understand why they have to bear t

I am glad that they passed this law in France. People from the cities are coming to the countryside, thinking they own it and they can remove any nuisance which does not fit they idealized view of the countryside. They are dead wrong, life
