Indeed. The main type of accident involving cyclists in Denmark are so called 'right turn accidents', where a lorry turning right at a junction hits a cyclists because they are in their blind spot. This obviously happens exclusi

I feel a lot of commenters are simply focusing on what signs can do or what sort of junction to build, rather than focus on the fact that on high speed primary country roads, bicycles shouldn't be sharing the road with the cars. In Den

Really? I've driven through much of Europe, and I've never seen a 4/all-way stop junction. Edit: That came across as if I was simply trying to dispute your statement, but I am genuinely curious to see an example of this in G

Another important point often missed in these discussions is training. If you take a driving licence in Denmark, a big part of the training is how to deal with bicyclists. I have also taken a bus driving licence in Denmark, and there it b

Sweden has maintained a policy of neutrality since the Napoleonic Wars. I don't recall Russia perusing any similar foreign policy during the same period.

I hate to be pedantic, but that is not what a motorway is. It cannot, by definition, be traffic light controlled (except the on-ramps).

I think most of the computers used were actually humans back then.

It's been over ten years since I last took a test/exam at this educational level, so I may be unfamiliar with today's procedures. But I do recall also being allowed to use computers in mathematics' tests/exams. You

As far as I know, computers are not required for tests/exams. But are allowed as 'aid'. Therefore, they won't care about one's desktop at home, but only about the laptop one will be bringing into the test/exa

Here are the highlights from the article: The Danish education minister (Merete Riisager) is proposing allowing schools to check their students' private computers, as well as their social media activity (and other internet activity), t

I must say I'm having the reverse experience. I very seldom use its Danish regional setting, but even for Danish searches DDG is fine. It's only 4-5 times a month I need the !g bang. But knowing about Startpage, I now use the !

If France is anything like Denmark, the price is usually based on a combination of a public and a private valuation of the house (both of which are available to buyers upon request). You can give it any price you want, but since buyers can

I think Bender said it best: "Yeah, but everyone's a jerk. You, me, this jerk. That's my philosophy."

That's true, but that happened before these new requirements were instituted. Indeed, I wonder if rhetoric from administration and the campaign before election had more to do with it than these requirements. Not that I approve of them

HN is not one of the sites listed. Although, you could select 'other', but I did not consider HN social media. Maybe my definition of 'social media' is a lot narrower than the US government's. I mean, does being

Yes. It's part of ESTA. I did not fill my social media accounts in - because I don't have any - when made an application, and to my surprise it was approved. Still a question of whether I get to enter the US next week, though.

What makes you think most people wouldn't voluntarily give over the social media accounts? It's really only people on HN that cares about that kind of privacy. If anything, you'll get stuck with the annoying people who are p

Just out of curiosity, which systems uses \r as newline these days? As far as I understand it, Mac OS did it prior to its version 10 (its Unix version), but the modern macOS does not.

Perhaps it's also a cultural difference? Notice how Japan has the same rate of homicides as Singapore? Perhaps it's a cultural thing more so than a policy thing working out in Asia. Comparing countries with corporal punishment w

I think tontonius meant to say 12:00 CEST. It's summer time. So only 27 minutes from now.

It's worth noting that Bismarck was against annexing Alsace and Lorraine, as he feared it would create an unnecessary adversary in France.

But the EU does have a directly elected parliament? So where's the lack of democracy in the EU?

The EU does have direct elections: See the European Parliament.

If nothing happens, what was the point then?

by Svip 10y ago
But that suggests that the UK itself lacks democracy. If the UK doesn't change because of this, how will staying in or leaving the EU change that?

To be fair, the company said they've tried hiring people without bachelor's degrees in the past, and it hadn't worked out. So I actually never got as far as to apply for a visa. But I check out the point systems the Canadian

I couldn't get a job in Canada, because your immigration policy required a bachelor's degree. That was even if I had a job offered to me before seeking a visa. I think Canadian immigration policy is a bit over hyped for being &#x

Except you cannot have static signs from one direction, where the other directions have traffic signals. Someone else suggested a great programmer would have changed the rules, but that would have just made the rules more complicated. This

Thank you for the information, as we do use some TMS components. I suppose it was just natural for us to simply pick Indy, but perhaps looking into commercial ones might be something to consider. Although, at this point, we have worked ar
