Why did they vote for it?

My car does not have extremelty bright headlights

But the choice of headlight is probably one of the lowest factors when deciding on which car to buy, you just live with what the car manufacturers are shoving on us.

I don't need bright lights, most people don't and we havent done anything to get them, they just come with the car for most people.

What do you do when there is no wind and it is cloudy. Dont turn on your tea kettle?

You are not special, other countries have complex tax systems too and have figured it out, but you just refuse to and make excuses

Then you need to deploy it on multiple nodes and neex to make sure it only runs once for each run of the cron, etc.

Our system in Estonia works well.

I don't get the resistance to a digital/national id in other countries. To us it is quite bizarre.

Some have explained it with a lack of trust between citizens and the country.

But without such digital id it is impossible to have such digital government services as we have here. The government services need to verify and autheticate the citizen, so they only access their own data and not someone who has the same name and birth date by accident.

I don't see how such a system gives the government more powers. It already has all the data on its citizens, but it is spread out, fragmented, stored with multiple conflicting versions, maybe some of it is stored in databases where no one cares about security, etc.

Finder isnt crap?

Why can't i paste a path and just go to it like I can in Windows or KDE, why can't I cut and paste files? Why do i have to open 2 separate windows and drag the files between them?

Who decided that it is somehow useful to leave an applocation running when you close its window?

There are so many silly and stupid small things wrong with os x

Depends on the part of the world, but in northern/central europe the production of panels from september/october to march is zero, 0, according to my colleague in his roof and many others have said the same. It is cloudy, it will rain a lot and during winter if there are no clouds then there are only.. a limited number of sunglight possible, and the sun is low, so most of the "power" is already absorbed by the atmosphere

Maybe you went to mediocre restaurants?

Tipping sucks and your taxes suck too. When I see that something costs 15€ on the menu then I expect to pay 15€ and nothing more. How can you be happy about surprise taxes? How can you plan your spending when you don't see how much something costs and you still think this is superior?

This is it. I don't want to use some kind of AI search in fb messenger, I want to find someone to send them a message. I don't need AI search in google, I don't need it in gmail. What I need is search that actually works, there is no need to replace existing search functionality with "AI".

It is shoved everywhere but nobody really needs it.

This is everywhere in Europe

So it is sometimes better to buy stuff online, because the reasoning is that you haven't seen or tried them, but when you buy it in a physical shop, then you were aware what you bough and can't claim that you couldn't check the colour of a thing or how it fit you or whatever else reason you can think of.

No idea why you are downvoted.

He should apologise,stay quiet, not get involved in politics or try to influence elections in Europe by supporting far right or other extreme parties.

Nope, the Ukrainians said they got no help or intelligence from the US.

The US knew nothing about the operation.

If Trump had known about it, he probably would have told putin accidentally (or.. knowingly?)

The rule should be simple. Canceling a service should not be more difficult than starting it. It should be possible to do it in the same channel you started it. No "we only do cancellations over the phone, during business hours on tuesdays, with an hour long waiting time"

Steve is the hero of salesmen, consultants and CEO-s, should not be a hero for geeks and actual developers.

In the EU, when I go to some online shop it first lets me chooose my language (and country), then it displays all the prices with the correct VAT amount.

You in the US keep saying "we are so special, so it is impossible to change things for the better in any way". While other countries also have complex rules for similar things yet they still manage to provide a better experience for shoppers, citizens, sick people - everyone.

Europe has SEPA payments. They are very fast and reliable, and separate from Swift.

I don't think we are inporting or forced to import Indian beef or meat. Unlike the US tried tp force us to import their chlorinated chicken etc

Why the downvotes? This is correct

What, no. I guess he would rather do something else than be a wartime president.

trump should call putin a dictator, because.. he obviously is, but for some reason he chose to attack Zelensky instead.

How can there be elections when there are millions of people displaced, there are large parts of the country occupied and huge part of the population is on the front defending the country.

This "dictator" stuff is just straight russian propaganda, that americans have been swallowing up because someone told trump it was true.

And everyone in Europe will want our governments and armies to stop buying stuff made in the US, especially weapons and ammo.

Why support your country with our money if you don't want to support us at all?

Your defence companies will face huge losses because of this.

Your data is wrong

Estonia has had conscription for our whole independence from russia, and we don't intend to go back to russia. Lithuania also has conscription and Latvia started it again last year.

Estonia also has the Defence League, a voluntary organisation which offers trainings and will support our defence forces.

Finland and Poland also have conscription.

Anecdote about MS and Skype.

Knew a developer who worked there.

Day 1 of aquisition - there were 4 layers of managers between him and Steve Ballmer.

A year later there were 8. Tjis is how much bureaucracy and managers MS added in only one year

And? So? Do you think we should want to be part of russia now?

We will happily pay a bit more to get as far away from russia as possible.

Also, our prices include taxes, subsidies for renewables, the co2 scheme payments and so on.

Can you suggest which of these kits are good?

The problem is that with bootstrap I have card, table, etc. With tailwind I have an unreadable alpabet soup when I am not a designer but a developer and am not familiar with tailwind.

In this thread: people claiming how exceptional the US is, to justify not having the final amount on price tags.

You guys can think of lots of reasons to justify why you can't do things like the rest of the civilized world does, be it prices and taxes, medical insurance or something else. The US is not some sprcial snowflake country.

Javascipt is a horrible language because it basically is missing a standard library so you need external dependancies even for the most basic things that are already present in other languages. Python has a very rich standard library. You can do a lot with libc, if you had a c++ Qt project then it would provide you with basically everything you could ever need.

When travelling through Poland then the contrast of visual pollution by billboards and other advertisements has been very big, between for example Estonia, Latvia, the nordic countries and Poland.

In Poland basically everything is covered in huge adveretisements, "Kantor" here and there, car repair shops, etc. On bus stops all the walls are covered in them and there is even something on top of it, facing the road.

Drinving there is tiring, the brain just gets tired from it.

We think its part of slavic culture or something.
