My understanding is that the problem is exacerbated by the shape of surrounding terrain and atmospheric conditions. I.e. the city is in a cavity and on cold days there is a mass of high pressure that pushes all the smog down. But you are co

They're presenting the Visa Waiver Programme as conditional so my read is that it's access pertaining to ESTA applicants. Sounds like another drive-by meant to burn another bridge with EU.

Correct yes sure - point is that it cultivated a neutral hosting service brand image and that's interesting

What's interesting is how YT has gradually shifted from being that neutral hosting service and into the media distributor role. The part that's new in the distributor setting the rules dynamic is that there is no specific "th

Not to be that guy but I switched to Android a few months back for the first time in my life. It took some getting used to here and there, but over all I've been happy with doing something new on this front. I suspect I'll be look

Now there is a comment I'm interested in here - because all the whining and yet actual users are far and few between. I would ask for more observations.

Apps and phones are just so much better for surveillance which I know, duh. Most users simply don't give it any thought and install apps left and right permissions included. The smaller screen real estate is also better for surveillanc

Commenting from neighboring Poland: my sense is that the dark patterns are less a result of deliberate manipulation and more a result of crappy publicly funded tendered software development. It's, like, when the designs are made in a p

It's not the same everywhere in the EU, but here in Poland as an establishment owner you have to pay this fee to an agency that purports to represent the musicians. As you describe eg. Spotify in background. This agency pays out propor

I don't think these two are exclusive. The Terry Pratchett quote there at the end of that reads like it's a tounge-in-cheek reduction, with a sense of humor. Obviously we're more complex than that, but sometimes we really are

Something worth adding and reading about is how the very existence of the European-Russian gas relationship has it's roots in German 70's and 80's realpolitik initiative that led to the pipes-for-gas contracts between Germany
