Nuclear simply is too expensive. France is a good example: Most of the energy in the country is created by nuclear plants, which are old now and have to be decomissioned. Compared to other countries nuclear has an ok image in France, yet th

The 4x spend on research per capita seems to be true. I looked into that before and found that the absolute spend is about $59 billion in the US and probably about $30 billion in the EU [0,1]. With the US population at 327 million and the E

Those numbers are seldomly inflation adjusted, so just by the 2% inflation most economies target you automatically get new records every year.

I'd say they exist on different levels and shouldn't be conflated. Corruption is the undemocratic alternative to a democratic decision making process. Both affect regulation, e.g. law.

I have a hard time believing e.g. most european countries have less regulation in the medical sector than the US. Probably less corruption/"lobbying" (because corporate campaign distribitions are more strictly regulated in mo

The people pushing Uniode are those who have to support their own applications in the field.

Me neither, but I don't write the applications only for myself :) Most normal people are not aware of these problems, e.g. because they only have used Windows for their whole life and never crossed OS boundaries. Then they never experi

Yes, I omitted that my Python 2 (mostly Django or bottle) ran on Linux with UTF-8. I suspect your piping case could be due to either the OS not using UTF-8 as locale or the application behind the pipe ignoring the OS' locale. These enc

Interestingly, I had exactly the opposite situation: I always had codec problems when using Python 2, and they were all solved with Python 3. Perhaps the main difference is the native language of the developer and his/her clients/

That was no insult. "You are dumb for disagreeing with me" would be an insult, and if I posted that you would have every right to feel insulted. But I didn't. But the quality of your argument was low: You just put chained u

The quality of your argument is low, I suppose that is why you didn't get your expected kind of answer. You just posted opinions, and none of them are facts. * Bill Gates like philanthropy: Taxes always would be way higher than the s

This. The opposite of bureaucracy slavishly following process usually is not good customer experience but corruption. If you open the pandora's box of following process being optional, usually the person with cash in hand wins. This ob

Hardly. The US is still a large trade partner for China, and an immediate stop will certainly trigger a domestic crisis, but they aren't really that dependent on the US. I'm not aware of a single item that only the US exclusivel

It would only be the end of riskless profits. The very point of an insurance is making high cost, low probability situations managable through the law of large numbers. Reintroducing individual factors is not needed per se, and also introdu

You could try Debian, which is essentially Ubuntu minus some themes. I doubt Debian will drop i386 support soon (I just searched and couldn't find hints of an end of support of i386)

I feel your pain. If maintainability is your concern, I would advice to skip this release as it won't have long term support. The current LTS release is still 2.2 and will only be replaced with 3.2 sometime in 2021. You probably alread
