That list, with the exception of SAP, is everything but impressive when compared to US companies. Even Oracle (remember them?) has a higher market cap than all of those companies combined.

They are good at keeping them small. Interestingly the EU throws around massive amounts of research money, without showing any interest in monetizing the results. Who else remembers the 400 million Euro (which was a lot of money at that tim

They like to name the eras after the relics they find. And since wood rots, the name "stone age" may be a great example of survivorship bias.

Finally a good rant with lots of swear words, sarcasm and telling things as the author sees them, without thinking if any of that may hurt some companies feelings. There should be more articles like that.

> I generally assume that's the case for any large company. Despite Google partly losing its marbles recently, reporting bugs to Chromium still works very well.

Ok, thanks. But aren't all browsers webkit based on iOS anyway? Is this about other browsers or also about Chrome on MacOS?

What does that even mean? Isn't a PWA just a webpage with some Javascript? How can that be built on WebKit only?

After my 15yo son when hiking with friends to sleep in caves without a tent I do not call him a pussy anymore. It actually made me feel that I forgot to live properly when I way young.

Looks really futuristic, but I would be more excited if Lenovo finally offered their ThinkPads without a keypad, so the keyboard is centered to the screen.

Very cool. How about putting the images that were created along the way into a carousel that you can swipe through, just like a flipbook?

It is difficult to forsee what will happen. I am worried that AI will destroy industries, while on the other hand my son just used ChatGPT to teach himself how to program an Arduino, which is just awesome. Translators will lose jobs. Illust

In Germany we have two Aldis, Aldi South and Aldi North. I am pretty sure that within the region they cover prices for each product is the same everywhere.

Also, everbody is invested in the same stocks. With ETF this has accelerated and I decided to find some stocks that are underrepresented in ETFs for various reasons and still have a solid, old-fashioned business model.

In this aspect, things in Europe are actually much better. We in Germany can use a software called ELSTER, which by now has become quite usable and can be used to file all your text reports. I heard in the Netherlands the tax office sends t

Also, the Z key is a bad choice for controls, because in some parts of the world it is at an entirely different location on the keyboard.

Those nuclear power plants were already there and running. Also, they were quite modern and safe compared to many other nuclear power plants in Europe.

They were switched off long AFTER the war had started. The situation by then was totally clear for everyone. The only reason why the nuclear power plants were not keept running for another few years was ideology, and it was a mistake.

It is not wrong, but it does not force the kids to be creative in a way it used to. I would rather buy some wooden trains and rails if my kids where young now.

Having two teenage boys I cannot confirm this. They play with other stuff, but Lego is for building once and putting it on a shelf, where it will collect thick layers of dust. My sons never really played with Lego, which I found a bit disap

What I find super irritating is that some terminals will automatically execute a command if you paste it from the clipboard and there is a newline char at the end. IMO command line interfaces should not do this.

Yes, they do. Maybe some nerds don't, but 90% of people do.

It's not buried. They make one button green and the other grey, and 90% of users will click on the green button.

The popups make things even worse, because people automatically click on "Agree to all", which permits far more than would be permitted without a cookie banner.
