Milder winters could be good. Snow is nice but gets old very fast. No more plowing, smaller heating bills...

Interesting, this was 2014, perhaps clerk did it to save me money for device registration. Now I just use my EU data plan, it has enough data for short stays.

Of course they will take your passport. First time I bought sim in store, it was illegal to use foreign phones, and shop owner had to fake his IMEI. Airports never had this restrictions or asked for IMEI.

You have to buy sim at airport, there is an exception from this registration, it is easy.

I think that can be disabled, or encryption key exported for backup. Anyway, it is stupid argument. It is like saying car does not need spare tire, because wheels are welded to save 10 ounces on bolts.

Mozilla may pivot to VPN and network privacy stuff. But that won't save Firefox. I would rather have independent party on Chromium source, to balance large corporations, than half baked alternative engine.

Please. Weather is a big issue. It is impossible to put kid into buggy/trolley in rain without it getting wet. 1 year old with pneumonia is a horrible thing. Add shopping in rain etc... Bikes have horrible safety record on their own, e

I think mother of 3 years old and 1 year old may have different opinion :)

I think it is more about rhetoric, fear mongering and climate "fight". My government wants to ban cars. Transporting kids on bike in rain, wind and 40 degree F is somehow good thing.

You assume all people are well socialised and already understand non-verbal communication. Some people do not recognise different faces, let alone facial expressions. This sort of checklists are very helpfull.

Or electricity price raises so much people will stop using it. There is already CO2 tax, polution tax. My country even collects TV license fee from electricity. Rebuilding grid for solar and EVs requires major overhaul. That is not happenin

You can completely remove Google packages with ADB. There are tools for that. I would be more concerned about vendor packages. For example stock weather widget uses GPS and pinks servers, even when not in use...

This is crazy. Lightweight low emission cars are banned for strict limits, but supercars get exception?

In France it is illegal to have DNA paternity test, even in foreign country. I expect GoDaddy to take the same actions there and in other countries!

At uni we were told junk DNA is repository of new/old genes for evolution. Old unused proteins may get activated by mutation, and reporpused for new function.

My friend lost 1M in Cypriot bank. There are many stories about frozen assets. If you have decent money, using single account/country is not just lazy, but stupid.

No! Computers should have normal auditable log files, board schemes and spare parts. If it works right, it should be invisible. If it stops working, I call plumber who will fix it very cheaply. This "computers are magic" is just B
