Over here, almost all the ads call the cars "over equipped". Always make me think: could you please remove the superfluous equipment then, and reduce the price?

The bigger issue for me is how coupled the OS and Safari updates are. Apple is great at keeping their phone updated, but once it stops, everything stops. My iPhone 6 is on iOS 12, which means Safari 12 and no way to get the latest updates.

It's not like it's very different in the rest of western Europe, and eastern Europe probably doesn't have the know-how to do it. If you want to be in the EU, Germany is far from the worst place.

Most countries will have a clear leader yes, especially the big ones with 4/5 riders. Sometimes they hedge their bets by having one guy "free", often in the breakaway. It apparently wasn't so much the case with the Dutch

Even multi-party systems suffer from this. You will never have enough parties to satisfy everyone on every issue. It's also worsened by the multiple years between elections, the feedback cycles are very slow, and too much is muddled to

It's not only in silicon valley. My first company (in Switzerland) was like that. It was a start-up, mostly with people in their 20s fresh out of uni, no family and often expats/not from the area. Basically, people without their o

It sounds heavily biased towards big companies (if not FAANGs). For Switzerland for instance, over 70% of the salaries are from Google. If you're looking at working for them, then great, but I don't think it's very representa

A winch gets you maybe about 1/3 of the cable length (and thus strip length) at best. A typical cable length is between 1 to 2km long. Let's say you can gain 500 m height. A glide ratio around 50 is probably on the higher end of w

That kinda implies you leave and go to the city centre each time, which might not be the case. Living next to a major train station is usually very expensive. If you're visiting family in the suburbs, you might be closer to the airport

In some countries that's the case. I mean, from what I can tell, in (most of?) Europe, salaried position means you're supposed to work for X hours a week. Anything above is overtime. Depending on the local regulations, they often
