Point to point WiFi links are pretty accessible nowadays. I bought a €60 no-name set from Amazon to link two buildings 250m away that don't even have line-of-sight (other buildings and trees are in the way) and it works good enough fo

If you have a modern OS (I had to upgrade to Android 13) and a modern headunit, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay work wireless.

My country recently (2019) privatized the electricity supply. The infrastructure is owner and operated by a government entity, but the company you buy electricity from is a private entity, and you can choose which supplier you use. Generati

Comparing data on populations from 2020 or 2021 is probably not going to give very accurate data because of COVID. Much of Europe was locked down making travel often impossible. All that really says is there is a lot of drug tourism.

Adobe AIR was a precursor to Electron in the late 00s. It allowed apps written in JavaScript, ActionScript and some other Adobe tech to be easily built for multiple platforms.

The world is more than the US. If you think everyone outside the US, just needs to walk down the stairs of their apartment, then down the street - stopping at a coffee shop on the way - to get to their office, then keep dreaming. I live in

- Culture and language. Even if you compare US vs UK, the UK is much more European in it's approach to work. If you want to exploit people and have them dedicate their life to your company, better stick to US workers. - Working hours.

In Europe it's a completely different story: a) the majority of RVs are designed to be driven with a standard car license, so fully loaded must weigh less than 3500kg b) The vans that are used as base of RVs all run on diesel, and have

Factories in the USSR often had a shortage of parts, but they still had to meet production quotas. This usually meant a reduction in quality, but it goes the other way too. I've heard stories that consumer appliance factories would run

It's similar to how motorcycles are derated. In Europe there is limit to the kW output of motorcycles someone with a learners permit can drive, so in a lot of cases the output of a more powerful bike is limited so they can learn on the

3D printing is in the same boat. It seems the whole CAD industry just wants to shoot itself in the foot and push people towards open source tools. When I was into 3D printing 5 years ago I learnt Fusion 360 and it seemed like one of the bet

Maybe they are teenagers, trying to entertain themselves for summer while school is out. If there is one other intelligent species out there, it's highly likely there are even more. Why would they care about us in that case?

I'd argue that houses in the UK are not very well designed to keep warm which is why they overheat in the summer. I live in the Baltics, in a modern 4 bedroom house, and our annual energy consumption for heating is around 6000kWh - tha

Even with unions it doesn't help. In my European city which has extensive public transport, bus drivers are barely paid above minimum wage and work under pretty terrible conditions.

My guess is it isn't cold itself that kills, but the effects of living in a cold, and damp, environment. Take the UK for example, many houses are over 100 years old, made of brick and little insulation. Even before energy prices went c
