The whole center part of France is like that. Just old people, half of the houses abandoned, no families, not always too run down because it's mostly stone houses that do not break down so fast. On my last visit I met an old (maybe 85?

You could have similar links about any country on earth. It doesn't change the fact that the crime rate in Mexico is orders of magnitude higher than China, and something that affects its image deeply abroad, just like Colombia.

This is very location dependant. In southern Europe there are places where most normal people actually would refill their water at the fountain when going through a town, and I have even faced small queues when the fountain is small but a s

I don't even know what you are referring to. There has been no change in the possibility to remove the French citizenship under Macron, and the last time a change was attended it was supposed to be by a court together with a sentence f

Typescript type system is both powerful and lacking, and with a syntax that is horrendous to do anything complex. It gets even worse than regex in the "write-only" direction. And you can do black magic but at the same time very ba

Several providers offer full exposure in Sweden. It is particularly used by people with electric cars who want to charge it as cheap as possible. And yes you can end up with 8000€ electricity bill if you are really not careful.

You didn't need Brexit to "improve" this kind of things, countries can already go beyond EU regulations on their own.

Economic growth is also not linked to resources use. You can have growth while using less resources, or shrink the economy while using less. This is why the whole movement has always felt weird to me. You can have forever growth while using

I am the exact opposite. I dislike semi automatic docs like most rust libraries have that don't tell you anything about how you're supposed to use things, and I love the general python docs that are the opposite. Django in particu

A distributor cannot strong arm producers into exclusivity contracts while in a dominant position, this is text book example on how to get fined heavily in most countries, and would not fly at all in Europe.

There is a lot of reforestation happening in Europe. In France for instance the low time for forest was in the 17th century and since then the forest surface has doubled and is steadily increasing. You could also note that now Japan has mo

I don't see how any of this is better using NFT. You have had digital tokens for a very long time without Blockchain. If I make a game with skins I have 2 possibilities: the first one is to only use the in game money system (no real mo

It is not EU vs US. Countries have different norms. In France for instance the thousand separator is a simple space, no comma or dot. And the reason for the comma instead of the dot comes from mathematics to avoid confusion with the multipl

Mostly by saying this is Italy's fault for being in the Eurozone and thus not being able to print its own money. Also the USA is in a unique situation in the world due to the status of the dollar, so comparison with other countries hav

I got one love emojis and think it was one of the best decisions to include them in Unicode. I don't buy that you can have tens of thousands of weird human scripts but then a few icons representing non verbal communication is suddenly

For some reason my experience has been the opposite: higher prices when going through the hotels directly. My thoughts were that clients booking directly are not really comparing so less price sensitive and thus the hotel charges them more.

This sometimes happen but is not the norm. The problem with this approach is the long uncertainty for EVERYONE while the decision is made, and if many managers are involved it's basically the same as it being public information. In a l

What is your point of reference? Because in the 60s you had people literally killed by western governments for protesting so the slope doesn't seem downhill from there at least. Same thing for censoring, there is much less now than bac
