Yes, a former colleague who moved back to Beijing said she'd wait about 18 months for the licence to buy an electric car, but about 5-6 years for an ICE car.

I assume the GP is trolling. A fake curiosity in the form of an easily searched-for question. By asking it, they sow doubt on the previous consensus.

London is famous for the lack of any interaction on public transport. Before phones, the most organized people would read books or newspapers they'd purchased. Less organized people would read the free newspaper, look idly at the adver

I notice it most when the situation is different to my memories. Earlier this week I took a bus at school ending time. Several children — roughly 8-12 years old — spent their whole journey on their phones.

I've had a boarding pass reissued at the gate based on my passport. Some airlines in Europe check both the boarding pass and the passport/identity card at the boarding gate, to ensure people haven't swapped boarding passes wi

Ryanair (3rd largest airline in the world) insists on people printing their boarding pass like this, or using their app. They save money by needing fewer terminals at the airport.

I usually print a boarding pass at the airport kiosk — I always have luggage to check anyway, and there's then no concern if my battery dies etc. But at the automatic gates to security, and at the boarding gate, I think the majority of

I think it was Kyiv's airport (so I can't check) but their flight times were not all rounded to the nearest 10 minutes. I liked this, as finding the single 12:34 flight was much quicker than looking at the 4+ flights all with &quo

The article explains that some local councils in Britain are removing the pay-by-card (NFC etc) parking meters in favour of an app, payment by phone, or at a nearby shop. This is to reduce costs.

The university could allocate public IPv4 (or IPv6) addresses to their computers. Most did this in the past, but many stopped once people who didn't understand IP retired.

I think the scale would be the problem. Debian is 5TB. Five years ago when Docker changed a storage policy they said it would save 5PB. I can't find the current size of Docker Hub. That's a huge cost to expect from a free mirror s

You should compare to a country which invests significant effort into a safe railway, such as the UK. There have been 7 passenger deaths in the UK in the last 20 years, with around 60 billion passenger km each year. That seems to be of the

If the bag is this essential, then it should be carried at all times and not in an overhead locker or similar.

There's nothing wrong with this, and it's common at universities that have large IPv4 allocations.

I think they expected the sample to be sent free of charge, especially as it's such a low value product. That it came with a bill implied the producer wasn't interested in the business.

Almost 50% of internet traffic is IPv6. Obviously, those average people have a suitable firewall provided by default on their routers.
