BankID has been a security nightmare with a lot of fraud. It's relatively easy to get a BankID in someone else's name, which then allows the fraudsters to do anything in your name, including stealing everything you have.[1] This i

The point of Signal having end-to-end encryption is to avoid trust. Telegram, on the other hand, relies on trust. Obviously that's going to attract more criticism.

If it's very cold, yes. But the average should still be well above 3: > Similarly, in Finland, tests of air-to-air heat pump systems from various manufacturers resulted in COPs of 3 at -10C and 2 at -20C. Source: https://

Storage will probably use sodium-ion batteries in the future. Those have none of the four elements you mentioned.

It's also interesting to compare which countries have banned gas in new buildings (the Nordics, the Netherlands) and which countries have draconian surveillance (China, Russia).

Sweden isn't exporting electricity for free. The money is there - it just needs to be redistributed from companies to the people.

Germany has never had competitive gas prices compared to the US or China. Germany competed despite the energy prices (electricity is even more expensive). Since Germany mostly sells premium products, they will probably be fine.

So far automation has only created more jobs. Why would this suddenly change?

Basically nobody uses Google Messages in Europe. Still, if Google breaks the law, there will be consequences.

Western Europe has a lot of immigration and the population is actually increasing. Japan has stagnated for about three decades now.

> EPRs are on the high end. This is an understatement. The three largest nuclear power reactors in the world (Taishan 1, Taishan 2 and Olkiluoto 3) are all EPRs.

5G isn't a "Chinese tech", especially not in the US where Huawei is banned.

Many companies will surpass Google's current valuation due to inflation. However, I don't see how Epic could replace Google as the third most valuable tech company. For one, Tencent owns almost half of the company.

Isn't this criticism of Telegram about hate speach rather than encryption? If you wanted to ban encryption, Telegram would be the least of your worries.

Not necessarily. Apple tried to push small phones (for various reasons). People refused, and Apple had to cave.

No. Given that the link was used as a source, I thought I would see a list of countries where the payment feature is supported.

Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, and they still haven't left. You're right that the same can't be said for NATO, but in a totally different sense.

Almost nobody wants to live in Putin's sphere of influence (for obvious reasons: economy, freedom). While Russia and Belarus are dictatorships, Ukraine is a democracy with free elections. What is there to "talk" about?
