As long as the biometric data is held only by a government agency, and not shared with the airline, I don't have any issue with this. If this is implemented correctly, the airline should only get a response saying who the passenger is,

I recently had to replace the side wheel motor assembly on a Roomba. The motor and housing were fine, but the gears inside had worn out. I think they were just made out of ABS, so if they were printed in Nylon they would be a lot longer wea

And this is exactly what GDPR is meant to prevent. My registrar now provides free whois privacy, so people can't see what domains I own at a cursory glance. There are still a lot of (government) public records on me, but at least compa

The same applies with roaming too, so in that case there is even more latency.

It's the same in London too. Outside the city center nearly all of the 'Cycle Superhighways' are just bus/taxi lanes. And someone driving a 15m long vehicle who has spent the last 10 hours dealing with stupid drivers isn

Spending some effort on SEO would be a good call. I was in Madrid a few weeks ago and my searches for "co-working space Madrid" never turned up this place.

That's how it works in the UK too. By default taxes are taken from your paycheck, and that's the most interaction the majority of people have with the tax organisation. If for some reason you pay too much tax (e.g. you start/

My parents still have a 32" Panasonic LCD from the early 2000s as their main TV. The buttons on the remote are worn out, but the TV still works fine. It has HDMI (720p or 1080i) so they have a Roku connected to it so they can watch str

For comparison, in the UK there are around 8 trains per hour during peak times between London and Cambridge (around twice the distance of DC-Baltimore). I'd imagine there are cities that have even more per hour in central Europe.

Prices of basic drugs like ibuprofen, paracetamol or aspirin are a bad choice for comparison. They are so cheap that pharmacies will usually stock a brand (sometimes competing brands) that they can sell for higher margins. Also in Europe th
