But how is that going to work out if Ireland can simply use its tax policy to circumvent EU competition laws? I am sure part of the deal that the EU would stay out of Irish tax policy was that Ireland would not use tax policy to circumvent

Amusingly, the article itself quotes the very same text two paragraphs below the statement declaring that the State of Palestine doesn't exist as an entity.

I apologise, that summary was inaccurate. But parent's wording seemed to indicate that the SSI had sent the letter to the wrong recipient when that was not the case. I wanted to clear that up. The problem is that SSI sent the data un

No long, I'd imagine. But again there is little to no way to figure out for sure whether the Chinese government has this information. The story really highlights the careless handling of data, because the chances of the Chinese gover

I suppose Krita[0] might be one of the most interesting alternatives. But Krita is more optimised for drawing with a tablet than anything else. Someone who uses Krita a lot has pointed out to me that Krita isn't as good at text handl

True, but that's those who are simply afraid of flying. It still doesn't necessarily explain those people who would be uncomfortable flying without a pilot, but perfectly fine with one. I also hear people telling me that they w

This is what I was wondering too. Which is also why I predict (although basically speculating!) that an alert driver would have noticed the actual lorry itself and made the assumption that it carried a trailer, and at the very least slowed

Good point. But I think it is too early to call this a 'freak accident', because we don't know enough. Tesla have statistics on their side so far, but they still have not done a fraction of kilometres travelled by convention

The correct answer is: It depends. Because there have also been times when I went into the hall, fully aware that my neighbours were there. The mood required is one where one has enough energy to interact with people, and that includes i

Ah yes, space . But I must confess I once waited in my flat to go outside, because one of my neighbours were in the hall.

In Denmark, we've had a special national card since the 1980s, called 'Dankort'. The fee for any transaction is 0.50 DKK, regardless of the transaction's size. This means that Dankort is almost always cheaper to use

How odd, as a Scandinavian (more precisely: Dane), I can relate to almost all of those. Maybe it's a Nordic thing and not just a Finnish thing? Bus stops need a lot of place here, because people don't want to stand close togethe

Indeed. I find the binary view of self-driving/driverless/robot lorries somewhat narrow. Furthermore, a lot of these sort of technologies have already made it into lorries and cars, just commonly called 'driver aids'.

The US OBD/OBD-II standards came about in 1990s, when fuel injection was already a several decades old technology. Although, truthfully, it first became common around the 1980s. Still, I am happy my 1974 Citroën DS 23 has fuel injecti

You are right; I should have rephrased that sentence. I merely meant that I have never looked into those. And when I use scheduled tasks I refer to them as `cron`. Even on Windows.

The month was used by the French to convince the British to participate. My point is; had Austria-Hungary acted faster, Britain might have entered the war too late to help the French.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on 28 June. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on 28 July. That's a month. And it's the period between 28 June and 28 July that real negotiations and build up happened. And yes, Germ

No, Germany's actions actually make pretty good sense. Remember that the Archduke was shot in June. A month before Austria-Hungary declared war. In this hesitation, France tried to heavily influence the United Kingdom to participate.
