You're shifting goal posts. The statement was free movement of people. You cannot freely move to UK, it is outside of Schengen. Stating that free movement is not free movement is illogical.

EU as a whole perhaps. But not individual countries. For individual countries (e.g. Netherlands) political games will just increase the amount of people wanting to leave.

I don't agree on the assumption that the total number of hours is a given. If you're working on something 70+ days per week for an entire year, your productivity is going to drop. If you work less, but are refreshed when you start

The shipment of bananas is interesting. They're transported in either bulk vessels or in containers. During transport the ripening process is prevented (think just by means of ventilation). The transport can take several weeks. Then on

Depends on the country. I shop for food almost daily (basically buy as I need; store almost nothing). There's a supermarket 100 meters away. Another 150 meters. Last one (with bad opening times) is 200 meters. Next one is then 1 km awa

It is telling two things: 1) The ability to compete and cost associated to compete is worse in US and Europe. 2) Further, patents are mostly used as anti competitive behaviour; it is not related to "innovation", nor is it related

To add to above: In the previous barge landing they did weld the landing legs to the barge using some kind of bracket. But they discovered that the centre of gravity is low enough to not need any welding. During the previous attempt the sea

That sounds like how AMS works since a year or so. I managed 4 minutes from sitting on the train to being after security (I timed it :-P). This includes: getting off the train, walking to security and opening up my backpack (no clue why it

It's way easier to depend on some functionality provided within the systemd project. Various bits do NOT require systemd to be the init system. The conflict here is pretty easy: * People not wanting to avoid anything from systemd p

I'm a packager. Before systemd the init scripts were different across distributions. Now they're often upstream and you just package it. The buggy script problems: trusting the .pid file too much amongst other things.

The tests weren't the problem. VW made it so the car only passed during the tests. A test should be somewhat reproducible and that conflicts with not being able to cheat the test. The solution would be to throw some people in jail. You

You didn't really address his argument other than to say it is silly? In China it is very clear what is happening. In e.g. US it is all considered a secret. Everyone in China is aware of the "Great Big Firewall" and all the v

No, I'm saying the details aren't correct. I never implied fabricated, so unsure why you're suggesting this. From reading the report it seems they confused container numbers with crate bar codes. This bit: "They’d board

by bkor 11y ago
This story is pretty sensationalized. 1. A container shipping company does not store the bar code of crates/packages. I've easily read 100s of booking details and never seen this. At most you maybe find one booking where the custo

Note that this suggested title is outdated as Mint was compromised twice. Meaning, it is not so brief anymore. The comment itself is more about the security practices. More ontopic: Having your Wordpress instance compromised is rather expec

Port of Rotterdam doesn't randomly check containers. They have pretty good systems to determine if something strange is going on. You cannot just extrapolate the 4% if the distribution wasn't random.

I urge you to just lookup the schedules using something like http://www.shipmentlink.com/ or http://www.linescape.com/ . For one, 25 knots is a ridiculously high speed. At the same time, 12 knots is way too

My experience is mainly limited Northern Europe. My knowledge about US is severely limited (really brief small talk when having visitors over). Take this into account. For me a port is a region with multiple terminals. Each terminal could h

The website is hard to read on mobile because it is wider than my screen. Bit unfortunate. Regarding VA-API: Since gstreamer-vaapi 0.7.0, Totem finally works with VA-API. Before only MPV worked. IMO if you used mplayer you better just switc

The examples are not about Ubuntu users. Almost all are about Ubuntu being used as a server or an instance. As such, the display server won't even be installed. Some (low quality) Dutch website said that using the same method a pressre

Your last item is not totally accurate: Refrigerated ships are the ones where the entire vessel is temperature controlled. What Dole needs is lots of power connections ("reefer plugs"). That's uncommon but not the same as a r

Please file bugs! It is sometimes surprising what developers don't notice. At most you'll file a duplicate. One bug per issue is usually best.

I've been benefiting from additional screen space for various years. There's no specification to do this within the window manager. Even if there is, you need to think of Wayland as well. Ideally it would be nice to enhance all wi
