I recommend e-bikes. If you get a folding one it can go in the boot of the car and save you on parking. I own a petrol car but hardly use it as the bike is handier for me.

The article doesn't say what it means by win. I presume we will have the present situation where the cutting edge stuff is closed source developed by profit oriented companies and open source is available two but a year or two behind.

I use Google Translate quite a lot and it's pretty good even for obscure languages. The voice to text thing on youtube videos has improved a lot in the last five years. Re. not training on obscure languages, the current thing seems to

Too much social media and tweeting for a Bond villain. Putin always seems a bit like a Bond villain and has the creepy murderous thing down.

Ryanair isn't that bad hence their ascent from a small airline to Europe's largest. The flights are usually cheap, on time and clicking through the junk only takes five minutes. They do occasionally get you with stupid charges. I

As a many times Ryanair user I don't. I get allocated some crappy random seat, enter the plane last and sit somewhere else, often a row to myself.

I've used Google for twenty odd years and not had problems. I get a lot of value from search, gmail and the like. I'm not sure working the the US govt/defense is that evil.

You'd think, America being billed as the land of the free, some politician might free Americans to order stuff from abroad as long as it's safe as in regulated by some competent body like the EU, Canada etc.?

As a Brit who has spend time in both Singapore and SF, I'd say Singapore seems more normal currently. The tents of homeless people shitting in the street and dying of overdoses is weird, like something from Dickensian London.

"Perfect is the enemy of good" They are probably more moral than the average large US corporation.

Some nominal Christians like Hitler and Putin had odd ideas on that stuff. I'll give you Christ was pretty peaceful.

Dunno - if you look at the graphs https://ourworldindata.org/democracy the long term trend over a couple of centuries has been towards democracy, though with a bit of a reversion over the last 15 years or so. A lot of the b

It sounds like image matching may be newer. Still you could probably do that with any old satellite image.

Aside from the scanning function, they likely have many geolocated images from people catching pokemon in AR mode.

It was an area they let Hitler effectively occupy without going to war. The Donetsk People's Republic of its day. Not fighting over that only delayed the main war a little.

NATO is an alliance of 32 democracies. You have to expect those to elect duff leaders from time to time but the thing goes on.

I think it's more they lean towards the 'great powers' viewpoint that they are great and so have the right to bully smaller countries near them.
