You don't need to split into two equal sides to have a civil war. You can start having terrorist organizations that are able to obtain weapons with help from these billionaires to do acts that serve their agenda. They can fly people to

Sure but don't they have a mental image for 80 feet for example? Why articles will almost always include something like "that like 50 chairs put next to each other" when length is mentioned.

I wonder if Americans don't have a mental image for measurement units so that they alway use some physical object as a reference. Sure, its useful to use a common object as a reference but I don't see that much often in other plac

Nope, it's not. Some of the big names in the current AI boom are also European but they go do it in USA because the money is in USA and they can just access the EU markets from there. I don't know if you are familiar with coding o

A lot of AAA+ games are European, Linux is European and a lot of other software and services are European, a lot of industrial software is European. The platforms are not European, that's what's lacking. It's not matter of ta

When you do something in a mature industry, you skip quite a lot of losing bets that those involved in maturing it couldn't. That's why Google, Samsung and others were able to create smartphones comparable to iPhone without having

Good luck building nuclear in non-generational timescales and at reasonable prices. The future is solar simply because these electricity catchers from the sky fusion are mass producible goods that you can just keep pumping and pointing it t

The site is paywalled, can't check the articles but at least one of the headlines is about the local government corruption(how Orban funnels Hungary's assets to its allies). Since EU doesn't directly deal with anything, there

I bet it looks better in their books to have 40K paying customers more than not having those, so they just ignore it as long as not causing more problems than they are worth it. My guess is that the telcos were making half a million euros

The trust levels in Police is much lower in larger countries. In Germany it’s %50 and %35. NL is not the rule, it’s the exception. But sure, hating the police is an exaggeration. Still, I think it’s obvious that its for illustrative purpose
