"If you buy an Apple laptop, and need a repair, they'll fix it if it's in warranty, regardless of where you are." This can be misleading. I bought my Macbook Air in Portugal, had 2y warranty there. Then moved to the UK a

I wasn't aware of the original meaning. From Wikipedia[0]: "The term "Third World" arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Canada

There's probably a reason why we don't start killing hostages in an hostage situation.

Adding to this: all war is utterly terrifying. People like to pretend it's not but it is. It's not "only" soldiers being killed in all crazy ways but other people being killed, raped, tortured, etc. Babies included like

My girlfriend just went through an airline training course and, yes, they can stop electrical fires, like batteries, on-board. On a surprising note, they might be even able to handle bombs if these are detected before an explosion. They hav

If this is anything like Brexit affecting London, I don't see lots of people leaving, I don't even notice any difference in my workplace, but I know someone living the UK every month to the point we're not even one year since

My quick (and probably off) analysis: Tories found this timing to be the best one to call an election based on the disarray of UKIP and Labour. Tories are again playing politics, they want to get a good slice of UKIP vote and keep Labour at

Vote swapping is possible, there was at least a major platform for the last General Election and it got quite popular. Consider reading about it. A quick Google search found this but I'm sure there's much more than that: http:&#x

Can you guys expand on this? It's something I'm usually interested in but being raised in a Roman Catholic country doesn't make it obvious what differences might exist between Calvinism and Protestantism.

I had a conversation about this yesterday and I assumed USA keeps a database of your entries into other countries thus ending this new passport hack. Can anyone confirm this?

I agree with your points but "The collateral damage from the bombings, added up over a decade, has probably been hundreds of innocent civilians' lives" is not really true. One single drone strike during Bush era killed almost

Just a reminder: the original Macbook Air was introduced 9 years ago for US$1799, a very premium price point for a, at the time, really weak machine. Give it time!

While I agree with what you said, I believe the UK never acted as a heavier country during all these years. I understand why if the reason is purely political and based on winning elections but winning in the short terms led us to where we

Any examples of monetary policies imposed by the ECB on the BoE? Given the different currency, I'm curious about it.

What happens if you take a loan to study but can't pay it back? I'm thinking it makes it impossible to eventually get any other credit like a mortgage?

Isn't that good though? It allows competitors to appear with that advantage of having better privacy. I mean, the problem is not the way iOS handles it, it's the way app developers abuse their permissions.

A short summary would be: .NET Framework allows you to build Windows apps (desktop) and webapps; .NET Core allows you to build cross platform webapps (so, no desktop apps). The reason is .NET Core doesn't ship with any cross platform d

Isn't this a virtual thing? I don't know anything about this but I'd say most energy in Norway's houses is indeed produced via renewables (I mean the actual energy, say, the electrons being transported) and then a virtua
