It makes me shake my head to see people think of the world as black and white. Rarely does the overthrower act better than the despot. If he is American-supported, we will just stop hearing bad things about him. I've seen the pattern p

For someone who's wrong, you use a lot of caps. Fact is, most German homes are heated with gas and that is partially due to the politicians who have been close to the O&G industry, and partially due to "das haben wir immer so

Most of the points are from local governments and people's opinions, nothing to do with the colors currently in charge. And don't forget that plenty of those people still voted CDU and SPD this time.

If a terrorist attack happened there, it's actually more likely that it would happen again. It's not a random act, like lightning.

I will definitely wait for the next generation for this product. I am still not convinced MS and Lenovo will support ARM long-term.

Russia has superior firepower. It would be like asking why didn't Saddam strike the US?

I agree in a way, but I also think that in avoiding conflict, it is possible to see yourself pushed back into a corner to where a bigger conflict becomes necessary.

The biggest mistake is to look at the news as an explanation for stock market movement. From yesterday morning... Ask HN: Why are the stock markets tanking? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30454445

How can one protect themselves from this kind of malware? I assume it requires different measures than your run of the mill virus?

TLdr: Once a next level of assisted driving is released, customers would need to take the car back to get the missing components installed. I'm not sure that's so controversial, tbh.

You know that subreddits like this comb through the entire internet looking for something to be outraged about, right? And if they don't find anything, they're not opposed to a bit of creative writing.

I wonder if those in power anticipated this, just as some in the US sold their stocks in January 2020 when they realized COVID could crash the market's.

If the markets followed the news, they would crash and stay down. Why in the middle of the COVID uncertainty did they start rising again in March 2020? Nobody knows. And nobody knows the "why" of the markets, just the "what&q

Finding a Kita spot in Germany, especially in Berlin, can be hard because Kita is free, but the alternative is that one person sacrifices their career in Switzerland because the childcare costs are so high. You can make your own decision.
