It's better here in Europe with almost all car makers having their own station wagons and a lot of these station wagons are most-sold cars for their respective brands. Skoda Octavia/Fabia/Superb Kombi, Volkswagen Golf Variant

I also thought so (about hanging bullet points), but it's true that in this example: https://codepen.io/matejlatin/full/dRLRpW/ they IMO look better.

I've read about this psychological theory somewhere - that there is so much danger around human that human brain has to ignore everything that doesn't impact him directly, othervise everyone would be paralized by fear all the time

Not OP, but I have strong opinion about this: I believe that if you want to motivate people so they would do something, positive motivation ("Let's make someone's life better/easier by doing what we want him to do")

They are throttling it according to battery's condition (but actual throttling apparatus was added via an update). If you replace old battery with a new one, phone starts running at full speed again.

While I don't believe hybrids will survive in the long run, I think that hybrids (and plug-in hybrids specifically) will play important role in transition period of passenger cars (use EV in cities, use gasoline if you want to go >1

I think that security will be very discussed thing once IoT will be more spread. I also think that Mozilla could be first to solve it and Persona could help with it. I imagine using it for authentication of connected devices in my home.

In my opinion, definitions of 'strongly typed language' and 'dynamically typed language' are orthogonal and Python is both. You can't say that Python isn't strongly typed because its dynamically typed. For exam
