In Netherlands, where tipping is more rare. Restaurants try to upsell drinks and hope to serve coffee after dessert.

99% yes. Even worse, there are biking lanes on both sides so it is only a one way street for cars.

Same in Netherlands. Google Maps has recently become worse and worse. Small pedestrian roads are missing, and the navigation is getting stupid. Google applies the one-way limitations for cars also on cycling routes.

There is a prisoners dilemma with car vs bus. If everyone would take a bus to go somewhere, in total people would be quicker home as there are no traffic jams. But if the traffic jams disappeared then people would selfishly take the car for

Construction is becoming more and more specialized. There are many machines that need to be operated, together with regulations it requires high skilled people.

Some business guy could come in, copy the software.. add 30% extra cost and use that for marketing. With a sprinkle of socialism you could let governments run the server with API's and force removal of competitors.

In the same spirit I have a hate for LaTeX. The dazzling errors together with the unclear syntax makes the language very annoying to work with.

Crazy to think that they could just add lots of sugar and it will be allowed as a meal replacement.

In some hotels, when paying less for a room, you might actually get a worse room. Some rooms have cracking beds or bad wifi reception. That is why you might find different prices for similar rooms in a hotel.

I believe that this is great for children in order to become techies. At my high school, I learned a lot by having to configure a SSH server at port 80, in order to avoid port and site blocking. Luckily, they never blocked the link to putty

Because climate change makes the floods worse, meaning that without climate change you still have floods. Reversal of climate change is not significant enough to be able to safe money on these tunnels. Although we would save a lot of lives

To give some more examples: traveling over roads, train, air you need to ID yourself in China. The same for having a mobile phone connection. In European Union, you barely get checked and you have anonymous sim cards.

Another point to consider is that Motorola has become a very healthy and popular phone brand. Especially with their inexpensive stock Android phones. Google must benefit from this as well.

Maybe this is better as well, once citizens have more welfare they have more power to acquire human rights.

Also here in the Netherlands something similar happened. A company with nuclear waste went bankrupt and it became a expensive problem.

Ethereum itself can be used as a financial language, which can be quite revolutionary for the banking industry. Instead of using the proof of work consensus, banks could have their own consensus method. Which does allow for the order of sca

Not trying to contradict your argument, but I was thinking the same... What does UK produce uniquely, and so far I have come up with airplane engines.

I thought this already happens, as long as your voice app is being called. You have special analytics tooling.

Good news is that outside of countries like USA and UK, there is a lot of improvement. Global average income is rising, more people are going to schools, and people are being connected to the internet. I wouldn't be surprised if there

There is a strong parallel. As most coins do provide actual value and ownership of the platform. For example, while the gnosis coin is overhyped, the idea is that because of fees on the platform.. Eventually you will earn some money back. B

The fear is irrational because even now you can always be hit by other drivers who are not as careful as you. In my home town, certain people are driving like crazy.. Ignoring traffic lights, going to fast, call or text during driving, etce

You should not forget that governments are above money and law. They could essentially change IP property laws. It is about academic freedom which EU citizens deserve to have. You raised some good points about the publishing of new articles
