Some people do that. You can save more, I guess (but the housing market in fr and de is already going up due to that). (You can also live in CH and go shopping abroad if you're cost sensitive)

Home ownership isn't very high in Switzerland (and at least in urban areas there aren't many apartments below 1M). And you have to pay income tax on your rent anyway (even if to yourself).

Note that rent, food, etc is also scaled accordingly. (Not a bad deal in the end, especially considering the cashier/waiters/etc earn enough to live decently).

I'm not even sure how the site differs from a site like http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ (afaik it also allows the share the routes).

There's already no or negative interest rates for deposits in CHF.

> You can check that similar debates are common in Switzerland. People actually think about the problem, discuss it, and vote in conscience. Or in 90%+ of the case they just follow the opinion of the federal council.

Where I live (CH) they reinject water into the ground as they pump it, to preserve the aquifer levels. iirc they have some kind of pressure monitoring. The water there is already purified and clean (slowly went through rocks). It's act

Yes, the ground acts as the filter. There's a similar setup in Zurich, ground water is directly drinkable (iirc they oxygenate it a bit for test), while the lake water goes through sand filters (it is generally drinkable, but much bett

When the article says: > In response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks that hit Paris in January of 2015, France adopted one of the most aggressive surveillance laws in the Western world. That was not enough to stop these attacks. That's

Correction: 1995 attacks killed 8 and injured 100 (Puts the current attack in perspective, I don't think anything similar ever happened)

Why do people always mention migrants? There has been well known extremist cells in France, composed of french nationals or resident (1995 terror attack, Toulouse shootings, Charlie Hebdo shootings). Please stop mixing those.

Switzerland has "property" (wealth) tax over all assets (movable or not).

Did you consider replacing the battery? (beside the battery not aging very well, I'm still happy with the N5 performance).

There's examples elsewhere. Eg France has public campaign financing (any candidate getting more than X% of votes gets reimbursed, and there is a ceiling on how much you're allowed to spend on campaigning) and pretty strict fairnes

I thought the German/French banks stopped having exposure to Greece debts a while ago.

Is it so much harder for UK citizens? For (most) Schengen people it is really simple.

It is also nice for Europeans :-)

I think many European cities have seen changes in the past twenty years. Better cycling lanes, easy bicycle rental, increased public transit density and availability (eg late at night).

And I still don't agree with the fact that it opens the market. AFAIK operators can still add conditions like the phone as to be used primarily in country X, which means you can't just get an abo in country X and use it mostly in

There's a whole section about it in the paper (lessons learned and future work).

The name was public since Omega was publicized. The paper itself is great, there's everything about Borg in one place (scheduling, quota, isolation, etc).
