The EU also had huge red-lines. And instead of pressuring weaker partners, the EU might have done better to be more pragmatic and welcoming.

A good opportunity to point out this Juliacon 2019 video: What's Bad About Julia ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPuJsgyu87U ) TL;DR: Julia is not that bad.

Personal information/pure curiosity. Not really important. E.g. about a couple of sailing friends, how fast did they sail in comparison to others? Or maybe in which anchorages or marinas someone was? The issue is, that sometime you wan

Considering the melting arctic sea ice, the answer is easy. (Of course flights are not the only reason and I'm not saying that an individual shouldn't choose what is right for him/her, it's a policy/tax matter).

No politician who would implement _real_ (very intrusive) carbon tax would be elected. Not easy at all.

If you are pretty happy with fastmail, why switch? They will only access your email with a court order (fine with me). If you don't want this, I'd try ProtonMail, they encrypt the email, i.e. are unable to provide email content in

> I think they do a good job for the free version too. They did but, imo, no longer do. Features like passage details are now restricted with a link to paid plans (which are absurdly expensive for occasional recreation usage).

Sorry to say, but you should have bought a Dell or Lenovo. -- On the other hand I think something is wrong with your Asus, this can't be.

Is Philips hue also connected to Google? If not this is a big positive point as there is a hard separation to other data (e.g. retrived via Android).

I just don't understand why programming a thermostat needs to bring Google into the loop? It's not needed. My data should stay with me if I so desire (without needing extensive mistake-prone config).

I also paid for the Windows Pro license, but I meant the continued maintenance and free (bi)yearly updates. IIRC the license was around 50 € this cannot cover the full cost for the (let's say) 5+ years computer lifetime support.
