American democrats aren't what is considered left wing in Europe. They're neoliberals which classes as moderate rightwing in Europe. Left as we see it in Europe doesn't really exist in America. Except perhaps some outliers Be

Some people don't like rural communities anyway. I've lived in a provincial town with about 150k people for a while and that was already too much for me. All the groupthink, the conservative "family values", the way eve

I'm still against nuclear and this ruling didn't change it. For me it's still externalising many of the negative effects to many future generations. And with much more spent fuel comes more proliferation risks. Of course this

It's not just about deaths. That's the thing. People can get sick, the environment gets polluted. A whole town got pulled out of their flats and was never allowed back. The area will remain closed for generations. Counting deaths

It reminds me of supermacs in Ireland. People love it there but I never did. Their burgers are clammy, bread that falls apart (like burger king's). And dried out pizza slices (under a heat lamp too long) from their subsidiary Papa Joe&

Yes but root still exists in phones just like it does in servers. It's just not accessible by the user. The OS does run processes as root and it needs it for things like updates. Also, the user having root access doesn't mean that

Ahh ok I see, I'm not very familiar with scripture :) But now that you mention it I had heard of the Moses thing. I just never thought of it. The first thing I thought of was Linux' partition tool lol.

Hmm cool but are these actually hanging under the wing of a drone or fighter yet? This all looks very experimental. Not daily bread & butter.

Especially in Europe because we use the comma as a decimal point. So every csv file opened in Excel is screwed up.

But that's not how this works. China's map datum uses the same principle, it's just shifted somewhat.

> As for military purpose, have you ever done any work with the military? Haha no, I can't stand them and their hierarchies. But yeah that was my point, the enemy has their own maps, with their own datums anyway.

Banning H1Bs and RTO does not stop companies from simply opening an office in Bangalore and hiring thousands of people there. That's what my employer did.

Not sure about Google but on Bing Maps they were definitely messing around with fake images. Some of the airbases showed some fields where the actual jet bunkers are, and if you zoomed out you could see it was just a copy/paste of a fi

Yeah it's weird. A lot of countries try to interfere with global mapping anyway. Like China which has its entire country at an offset by using a slighly offset datum standard. It's called the China GPS Shift. https://en

The bigger issue is, if you're refusing to honour a contract as a vendor, not only do you risk a lawsuit like this one. But more importantly, who is ever going to sign up for another contract with you? You just proved it isn't wor
