Switzerland and Norway are not free to make trade deals by themselves. They too opted to be part of the economic block even though they aren't full member states. Going for the type of deal these countries have with the EU would have b

My favorite of Ali Express in Dutch is that they ship from Porcelain. We understand they mean China and it's obvious what happened. Their MT for Chinese to Dutch was trained on Chinese translations but used for Dutch translations.

She wrote a book about this topic. So the claim that there is no substantiation is false. You just didn't bother to find out.

Yeah. Its exactly like the sort of propaganda in Russia. Impressive though, how "the West" does all that project management and is capable of coordinating all their lies in so many different languages across so many different cult

>Because they know the US is there, they've cut defense spending. As you pointed out, that means they are currently incapable of effectively defending themselves without US intervention. Yeah, as a Dutch person, this always annoyed

I don't think Americans understand how Europeans are experiencing this attitude of appeasing. We have seen this story. It doesn't stop with Ukraine. We have drastically increased our defense spending but it will take at least 5 ye

Europe will not reduce sanctions until Putin is in the Hague on trial and Russian forces have left Ukraine. And even then Europe will spend and spend on miltary until we can take the nukes away from Russia by force. We won't be save un

The YouTube streams are up. It's not that difficult. It's like a weird alternative reality Fox News.

Tell them if they don't fight Putin, they will be fighting the rest of the world. The only way to prevent full out war is if the Russian people rise up. Putin is not considering their future at all. He is old and going out with a bang

Do the Americans here realize Europe will go to war with Russia? That this is not some abstract far away war for us?

The Economist isn't a newspaper. It's an opinion magazine. The reason you got confused about that is because actual newspaper behave like opinion magazines these days too.

FB didn't invent the internet, they are just trying to colonize it, so they can charge rent on the labour of others. We had chat, messaging, pages. All decentralized. No ads. Just worked. Jabber, email, etc. FB is a national security i

It compiles to SQL, so the actual execution plan is as arbitrary as the SQL this compiles to. I love database where queries and commands are not declarative but imperative. Like RethinkDB or Mongo. Databases with this type of syntax. But to

Thank you for making the effort the author's couldn't be bothered to. It's horrible btw. You can't even tell if and when order in this syntax is important. It's also not clear if it's declarative or operational

It's hard to take anything seriously that doesn't start with an actual code example. Double so if they did bother to make many long claims about it being superior. If there is anything here, the communication is really bad. 1. Sta

Wonder why they made the Netherlands more expensive than other western European countries, like UK, Germany or Belgium. Neither taxes or GDP can explain this well.

For a person: yes. For 330 million people: no. To compare: the US occupation of Afghanistan cost about this much per year, but that budget has been freed up. I live in Europe and I see the same lack of basic understanding of finance. People

Sounds like you dont have a problem with regulations, but with political corruption. Obviously, if we just get rid of regulations entirely, the corruption problem will be solved. .. or maybe the carton of milk i buy can now kill me.

Oh good call! I can't edit my comment any more (or else i would have added this). It seems nobody even bothered to count and plot the thing that would actually inform us properly.
