Can they compete against Ikea?

You can't have one without the other. Sure, houses in Ex-Soviet countries aren't as big as the ones in the US even though there is a lot of land. But good luck building an American sized house in a Western European country without

That would mean that countries with even higher disposable income than the US have even larger houses. This is evidently not the case. (I am also not a fan of using averages in terms of comparing income across countries)

> It seems to me that all the article is saying is that America is a wealthy country. More like a country with a lot of land.

It's not just apartments either: Many inner-city (where electric cars make the most sense) houses do not have a dedicated garage (I am talking outside the US here). You would need to have plugs on all residential on-street parking.

Huh, I always called it the iPhone Ecks. I can't really think of a 'tech thing' with 'X' in the name that is not pronounced Ecks.

So you want to have multi-line rows containing all the information as opposed to a single row? That's probably not possible as far as I know of. That being said, having a single row is much more information dense and of course easier t

What do you mean by 'no' columns? Do you only want a single column? You can right click on each and unselect it.

The US has some of the lowest tax rates in the world, IFF you are making a large amount of money. If you are earning a median wage a lot of other countries have comparable tax rates. If you are earning minimum wage a lot of other countries

By far one of the best windows managers out there! Looking forward to using the new version once it hits Xubuntu.

Java is generally faster than Python and I assume the OP is more familiar with it. I am not quite sure why you are asking that question?

I have done the same and it's great. The main issue is that I used to spend the commute reading books. So I have basically exchanged "mental" excericse with physical excercise. I feel that listening to an audiobook while cyc

But thickness != heaviness. My Thinkpad X1 is lighter than the Macbook Pro and has more ports.

As someone who moved to Australia from London, I can confirm: the latency is the real killer. I'm one of the few lucky ones with FTTP which gets me close to 100mbit speeds. But as soon as I have to connect to a server outside of Oz I a

It's calculating prime numbers which is why it's slow. Now if only I was to work out which prime numbers it wants... :)

To be fair, the challenges are impossible to solve on a mobile phone so I am not sure why they should invest time and effort to make it mobile friendly.

Cable TV, internet, phone, flights and medicine are all very expensive in the US compared to the rest of the world. The thing they all have in common is high barriers to entry and very few competitors. So basically lack of competition.

Both my current company and the one prior to that did the same switch. We all preferred Slack but the cost was just ridiculous and no one could justify it. Teams came for 'free' with all the other Microsoft stuff we were already p

I'd argue that in that case you store two values: 1. The time the photo was taken in UTC (as usual). 2. The UTC offset for the photo location.

You could theoretically see better real-world performance. As someone who is currently working on very high-performance C++, I have noticed Clang being much more 'confident' in optimising code than its counterparts (especially com

The code has many 'smells' indeed but was written by a high schooler. If you take that into account it's really quite commendable how polished and thought-out the app is. Sadly, I have seen 'senior' engineers write

This is something that has not really been an issue with android for many years. My OnePlus 6t lasts at least 2 days with moderate use. Other phones last even longer.

Do you live in a city? We've been able to get by on GoGet and Car Next Door for the occasional trip to the shops (although we mostly get groceries delivered; it saves time and allows you to pre-plan what you need easier) or for a weeke

Do you walk with your iPod in your pocket? The reason I am asking is because I am surprised yours has lasted so long. I had two and they broke within two years due to the mechanical hdd inside. (the headphones also broke, within a month eac

I also found this very interesting. I'd like to see a similar graph with different media outlets from around the world.

It's funny that both of your dealbreakers are due to Apple's vendor lock-in policies (Apple not allowing other browser engines and Apple not opening up iMessage to other platforms).

Same here, my rating is ~4.6 whereas my girlfriend is at close to 5 with exactly the same circumstances as you. Maybe I am not as charming :( It would be interesting to see how the average rating compares between young women vs men.

We went through a similar process after moving country (not worth the shipping costs so we simply sold 99% of our stuff) and felt the same. A year later we now have just as much stuff as we used to, maybe even more. No matter how hard you t
