Europe is a continent of diasporas[1], that should make it much easier to accept refugees but sadly people don't seem to think much about it. Also, most people in Europe will know someone or someone's family member who had to leav

In my experience, this is not about the chat software (Bloomberg's not that great at it) but more about the best customer service ever. And that's really difficult to copy, in particular by startups which usually prefer to forget

Forgot about this strange one: I own all System of a Down original and explicit CDs but iTunes Match got me the clean versions instead.

Greece didn't lie to get into the EU, that would be the eurozone instead.

Thank you. I'd like to have this subject discussed much more often than it is nowadays. Military is on an extreme of the ethical-unethical scale but there are many more cases which would deeply fall into the unethical side of the scale
