Its fascinating how America is slowly turning into a country that simply doesn't want foreigners. Sadly I like New York so I have to diligently go through the mountain of paperwork. How many people from the EU overstay or cause problem

Bicycle helmets aren't completely unknown, I see kids under 10 wearing them more. Cycling in the US isn't dangerous because of traffic or speed. Amsterdam has that in abundance! Its that American automobile drivers simply don&#x27

Average income in the Netherlands is 40k USD. If being poor in the US is double that... Maybe the complete lack of healthcare and social housing makes up the difference?

The import tariffs on foreign goods will definitely help US business. Less competition the better after all. I remember reading US steel companies raising prices when Euro and Canadian steel was slapped with punitive taxes.

Chrome is faster! Yeah but FF blocks ads, trackers, analytics and social media buttons. Basically half of the shitty internet. That saves some time I would think.

Lets be real here "because China" is a decent enough argument in the US at the moment. Just swallow the propaganda.

Nobody wants to give up cheap Chinese goods and buy expensive American goods (which are all made in China just the same hilariously) simply because America asks so nicely. Yeah I just ordered a Xiaomi mi9 and I feel fine. If there was indee

Not at all, a government can easily subsidize any non profit organization. There are many community centers in my country run by volunteers and funded by local taxes for example. I think my country has proven that if there is less necessity

This is true. However when a country is sufficiently developed it may no longer need religion. The functions that the Church used to provide (education, healthcare, charity) will be taken over by the State. Looking at my own country many pe

They all say that, words are cheap. On topic: your phone has many sensors and apps will use them. The only way to stop this is to literally disable the sensors. No more GPS, no more WiFi/Bluetooth scanning. Obviously this limits the fu

Well the reality is that the Japanese leadership at the time didn't give a damn about the suffering and death of its own people. There were those who wanted Japanese schoolgirls to charge American tanks with bamboo spears. After WW2 it

I watched a documentary on the new concrete sarcophagus that they built to contain the reactor. Its amusing that the EU had to invest billions into the project. Hell even the US put in money and expertise despite being an ocean away. Where

America right now is the best show on television. Emmy's for Nancy and Donald.

I am amazed at how efficient rats are. I put a garbage bag in my shed and 3 days later the only thing that was left was the plastic. The government in their infinite wisdom hatched out a scheme were everyone has to pay per kilogram of produ

Is it about security? Because Trump is saying he wants to have a deal with Huawei now... Or is it about the trade deficit? In which case Korean and Japanese manufacturers are not safe from prosecution.

In defense of Google none of the smartphone makers have tried to make their own mobile OS based on Android. Besides I think it more reveals how Google is in the grip of US politics- it might be time for Google to draw up some contingency pl

Colonialism is a double edged sword. France now has a responsibility to those islands. The Netherlands has the same problem: a bunch of fairly useless Caribbean islands that were a good idea at the time but are an anachronistic leftover fro

I don't advocate violence so don't beat the person who is doing this up but... well maybe just a little bit.

I don't think the US cares about fairness or wealth inequality. That's an ideological position- decided by the American people. Berny Sanders wanted the US to become like the Netherlands or Norway. The American electorate said no.

Governments love sales tax! Its just so damn easy and simple. When I was a kid it was at 17.5%- now its at 21%. I don't mind because the government here actually tries to provide for its citizens. Keeping the nation orderly and tidy t

That's very short sighted. Is there a natural law that prohibits non Americans from making software? In fact cutting the Chinese off will only encourage them to make an alternative to Android. If Trump really cares about the trade defi

Right now in the US there is an anti free trade sentiment coming up. Capitalism is about making products where its cheapest and most efficient. The chance that companies will move their production to the US willingly is very low. The chance

Funny isn't it? Mexico is a narco state because of American and European drug habits. Instead of tackling drug use the DEA is fighting cartels in Middle and South America. Cartels that are equipped with America made guns.

The Netherlands is currently at risk of turning into the Mexico of Europe but nobody is willing to let it go because nobody wants the country to end up like Mexico. Its really insidious. Everyone has a price and drugs brings in billions of

Actually one of the best things about Android is that you can drop all the Google apps. Don't use the default Google keyboard but install your own. Don't want to see ads in YouTube? Get YT Vanced. No ads in apps ever? DNS66. Want

That is a pretty bad argument. Not everything that makes the most money is good and should be supported. There are other things to consider.

The only thing the Chinese government has to do is explain that American imperialist white piggus are trying to destroy the Chinese people and they wouldn't even be lying for once. Nationalism is a play card in every country.

This could actually be a boon for China. Now they have to start developing their phones completely in-house. On the longer term that could be the end for American tech. If one thing the last 50 years has taught us is that whatever the US ca
