Same here at 52 degrees, the evenings feel so much more useful when the sun is out than in winter when it is dark, an hour extra sun would be massive. So I am wondering what the pe…

You see electric Volvo's everywhere in the more electrified markets in Europe like Norway and the Netherlands. Especially the smaller models like the ex30 and ex/xc40. They fit ver…

It is not a model, it is "just" using openstreetmap labels.

In europe the connections are a lot lower amperage, around here for example 35 ampere per phase. But having 3 phases is pretty normal and the standard in any new house, which means…

The issue remains: "-" breaks double clicking to select the full string, which means you'll have to manually select all the characters before copying. Same thing happens with UUIDs…

I don't think you understand: It has to be USB-C or better. So if USB-D (or a worse name knowing the consortium) comes out, the idea behind the law is that it should also be allowe…

> It hit me that many rich countries get their so called "green-ness" by paying poorer, more corrupt countries, to offshore their environmental damage, while globally the impact is…

They are more and more working on doing the separation at the garbage company though instead of at the source. Generally the reason for this that that consumers aren't very consist…

But it is also extremely easy to filter out aluminium from the general waste stream, so no real need to separate them, especially as the average consumer is not very consistent.

In Europe it is also likely the plastic packaging industry that's mostly paying for it as its cheaper for them to make it seem like plastic packaging can be recycled, that it is to…

Any application that uses certificate pinning would fail in this situation as that's specifically what it is trying to prevent.

Because all the natives pay using Debit cards, so it is only foreign visitors that have this problem, and stores in the really touristy parts do support credit cards. I am pretty s…

SpaceX existed before he got there? Citation needed.

From the neighbors in the Netherlands: it is interesting to see these local differences as at least in my circles you don't need to get married to become part of the in-laws or oth…

Hmm, living in the Netherlands, in Europe, it seems the reverse in my social circle. People mostly see it as a personal choice they make because they don't see the point, with othe…

That's the main revenue stream of Google it would pretty much mean Google itself would be forbidden. The EU gives companies the option and only requires all this hoopla if you want…

Google is an advertising network, they don't need to sell the IP to make money. It's on the original website to prove that they only use your data for what you asked them to, if yo…

Under the GDPR, an IP address is personally identifiable data, so you can't leak it. And for someone with masses of extra data like Google it is enough to identify who is doing the…

We can if we want to, but right now it is totally voluntary and so left up to brands that want to look good, but also not pay too much extra. If a block like the US or EU suddenly …

Its pretty much pointless though, if you can't move all your revenue to an ip holding company, you just have to make it slightly more realistic. In case of Starbucks: they move a t…

What exactly should they pay tax on? AFAIK, most countries like the US go for a tax on profits, but profits of a multinational country are extremely hard to "locate", as in: in whi…

> The USA, UK, Scandinavia, Australia have embraced these kind of transparent and simple taxes, and their societies are much wealthier because of them. Eh, scandinavia doesn't use …

Or less, as the store is allowed to discount (officially the reverse: the manufacturer is not allowed to set prices of anyone except themselves, so if a store takes almost no margi…
