I just checked and it appears Ibuprofen/Paracetamol are roughly 1 cent per pill in reasonable quantities for both sides of the pond. My quick Googling showed Amazon had them for slightly cheaper than British supermarkets in fact. After checking Walmart vs British supermarkets for decent quality cheese (and I'm fairly selective about my cheddar) I found the prices to be roughly equivalent. Prices for edible cheddar are far higher here in the Netherlands, by the way.

I'll give you aerosol deodorant, but I think that comes down to a preference for stick deodorant in America - which costs approximately as much as British aerosol deodorant.

That's one product; I named ten, and I can provide plenty more. The fundamental problem of not having access to many products for a reasonable price is a big one, and unfortunately I think Europeans just accept it.

Look, I'm pro EU, and I'm not protesting the taxes we pay in the Netherlands. I think they go to a good cause, and I don't think high taxes make it impossible to start a business. But onerous regulations do. Shit like this just adds to the pile of things that a startup has to deal with, and eventually it's too much.

I'm not saying that higher regulations are just a Dutch issue, by the way. I think it's a general European issue. I just picked the Netherlands because I live here and have personal experience with startups here (as well as in Germany.)

I generally like the GDPR, but many details of it were moronic. I've visited hundreds of sites where you have to individually deselect each of hundreds of trackers. Is that legal? Nobody knows! The GDPR is a nightmare for startups: you've got tens of contradictory blog posts from legal experts saying different things, 28 individual country regulators involved... Even if your startup is very privacy-friendly, you still (probably - nobody knows for sure!) have to put up one of those ugly big GDPR-walls to every EU visitor, which messes up your user experience and turns people away.
Vue+Vuex feels like a built-in browser API - completely unopionated. This made it perfect for a problem I was facing. Angular and React+Redux want things done in a certain way, which is a problem if you are not on a greenfields codebase.

I welcome this addition from Microsoft. I think nothing will push users toward Linux faster than annoying garbage like this.
I think you would need to look at ITAR as an example. In that context, you need to restrict things to US nationals and there are complications for dual nationals.

My guess would be that .gov will create some sort of regulatory regime around critical infrastructure.

I’m quite concerned about the fact that only China will be getting nano-SIM and every other territory will have e-SIM only. On a recent trip from the UK to South Korea and Japan (where my network has very high roaming prices), it was relatively easy to pick up SIM cards from vending machines and desks at airports. I don’t imagine it’ll be as easy to negotiate and activate an e-sim connection.
I was thinking stop-and-go traffic, which is murder.

Heavy load = longer stop distance = lengthier minimum safe following distance

Minimum safe following distance > 1 car length = motorists darting in front of semis

Rinse and repeat. Assuming a heavy load and ignorant motorists, there's no way to avoid constant unsafe situations. As soon as you create a new safe gap, someone slides in.

So, no. It's terrible. (And I'm not even mentioning the additional gear shifts)

I agree with what you said, they certainly can do that and you could argue the last crude crash was motivated by the US boom. The other argument is that Saudi Arabia's main objective is capturing as much profit as possible on all of their reserves before demand falls off a cliff vs strong-arming competition. They don't want to be stuck with huge deposits nobody wants in 30 years. It's their only export and they will stimulate demand as needed to sell every last drop. In this case, undercutting others would be a side benefit.

True, and this is why they refer to computers as having "retina" displays with a lower threshold. But AFAIK, people don't hold phones closer these days than they used to, so wouldn't be a factor here. Might apply to watches?
I get a ton of email and Inbox does a good job of popping a notification for only the truly important ones. Regular Gmail has the "important" flag which you can train but I get the sense it's not using the same signals or the same algo.

Where can we get this third party script?
All we have to do is look back in history to know why this idea is bad on so many levels.

1) Corporate charter at the Federal level. General incorporation laws gave rise the incredible growth that powered the economy since their inception specifically because the isolated the ability of politicians to have undue influence over them.

Do you want to see companies have to react to every whim powerful senate and house members have? perhaps appointees in the commerce department decide that something isn't up to snuff one year? the political influence will be so great that corporations will be hiring new and more politically connected players which will include those who are directly tied to individual politicians just to curry favor.

2) giving 40% of the board to the employees? which employees? does that mean contracted and out sourced as well? do you really want to experience the impact this will have on the market when stock holders find their loss of influence leads to less overall wealth for all? watch the 401k investments take that hit.

3) these limits while sounding nice would not favor start ups that hit it big and may result in further restructuring of benefits and increase executive pay to compensate. there are already many rules afoot that limit the exercise of options.

4) the political contribution rule simply means that politicians will simply have a greater lock on their office and power than they currently do now. combined with the idea that employees at many larger companies would sit on the board would allow union dominated employers to keep money limited to the politicians who have the most influence. effectively cementing the two party system even further.

5) welcome to the whim and politically driven decision factory. that nonsense rule basically opens up every decision to legal challenge.

these rules are designed to give politicians in Washington power they don't have over corporations. you think cronyism is bad now, just watch what happens when politicians in powerful committees get this level of influence. it won't be to protect the little guy, it will be to protect the wealth of politicians and those connected to them both politically and by blood.

tl;dr this all about empowering politicians even further and locking down the two party system into place. where corporations become even more in bed with the very politicians supposedly there to regulate them. you think its bad that many in politics go on K-street, well they will have guaranteed spots on Wall Street too and your investments will pay for it

Enabled entirely by tar sands and fracking tech. OPEC made oil really expensive incentivizing technology development and now US*Canada have put a cap on oil prices and could bankrupt any nation relying on oil for the majority of their GDP.

History books might cite oil technology, electric cars, Trumpism, the failure of European unity, and the coming recession to be the collection of triggers for the most "interesting" times we've seen since WWII. The legitimacy and power of the American government is at a low point, if we bankrupt our adversaries and fall into a recession ourselves, who knows what could happen.

Heh, even racist policies would not stop this.

You could just offer non-Chinese Americans a hefty reward + a Chinese passport as a reward for their espionage. Given the number of Gen-Z or Millennials straddled with debt, in an era with little company/employee loyalty (both ways), it seems like the recruitment pool would be quite big. Pick someone "All American" looking and be done with it.

Both the Soviets and the Chinese have done similar things to steal military secrets.

That's not a valid counterpoint. Assuming proper technique, frequent sustained use keeps joints healthier. In particular the old myth that running is bad for knees has been debunked.
I don't know exactly how it's implemented, and feel free to tell us, but wongarsu is absolutely correct about the behavior. For a while, whenever I hit the button in firefox to change default browser, suddenly my default browser was edge. Not the old setting, not the attempted new setting. It was very clearly not designed with 'protection' in mind.
It would be noteworthy (amazing, beautiful, best ever, etc, etc) if they did that, with (e.g.) a live presentation out and about around the world, instead of running the stock The Ghost of Steve Jobs Says Wow script generator macro.

But I guess if you're a trillion dollar company you don't have to try all that hard to think different.
>No, not really. They still have the ability to flood the market and cause prices to tank, which would wreak havoc on the US fracking industry.

...And tank their own profits? Cheap oil is good for literally everyone but the Saudis, that's the entire reason they've cut supplies since the glut of 2014-15.

US fracking is already barely at a fraction of capacity right now with how low prices are. It's not an essential industry for us, and our economy is doing fine without it.
At this point the US can essentially produce unlimited oil at ~$50/barrel (break even for fracking with current tech [0]) whenever we want.

Well, I still speak it somewhat...

The _truth_ is that the transition of Occitan speakers to French is by and large a process consented by the population (often encouraged by working men, like my grand-father who associated the "patois" with extremely backwards conditions) because it simply provided more economic and social opportunities at a time people started moving massively towards cities. In fact the South-West provided a lot of teachers during the 19th c. and was a Republican stronghold. Public institutions, which are not restricted to school (the first major catalyst being the army with the age of conscription), helped to put French in an insurmountable position of prestige, but it was more practical and less cynical than often portrayed.

It's more comfortable to blame an abstract entity like the government than your ancestors.

Japanese hot water bottles remain hot for much longer than the Western rubber versions, your hot water bottle remains warm until noon the next day.

The argument is that although the U.S healthcare system - based off of some metric - underperforms compared to a system which makes no claim of being based on a free market, the U.S. healthcare is also not a free market by any means. Lightly regulated it is not.

Also, you combine "works better" and efficiency: This is slightly unheplful, as although (let's say) the NHS is very cost efficient is - however - not anywhere near as impressive when it comes to patient outcomes. I am not well-versed in the topic to provide a well thought out counterexample however I believe that the Swiss system would be a suitable example?

Comparing the deregulation of businesses with guns is fallacious if not ridiculous: However, being British etc, I do share your fears as to healthcare deregulation.

> Incorporation is special because it creates a separate legal person—corporate personhood—who is the target of legal action against the business enterprise, and for whose liabilities the investors have limited legal accountability.

Part of the issue is that these separate "persons" aren't actually able to be held accountable. When corporations do something illegal by, say, killing people out of neglect, they aren't imprisoned (shut down temporarily) or executed (dissolved).

Although the French Revolution started the first concerted effort at suppression, L’Academie Francaise was created over 100 years earlier by Richelieu.

I don't want to go back to gmail, now it looks like a complete mess compared to Inbox.

That's the problem with Google latest-and-greatest offerings - they roll it out, make a hype, if you're naive enough you start using it, integrate it in your workflow - and they they decide it's not what they wanted and throw it out, and you have to re-do your workflow again.

I just switched to using desktop mail client and going to web UI only occasionally - at least desktop client is not likely to go away when Google gets bored with it.
The LoraWAN spec is surprisingly good. Dense as a bucket of lead shot, but usable to write an implementation :-)). https://lora-alliance.org/sites/default/files/2018-04/lorawa...

The short version is that all the intelligence is in the Network Service. The gateways are mostly resposible for converting packets into RF and RF into packets. Gateways talk to the network service through some backhaul (ethernet, wifi, 4G etc).

(The Network Service is implemented in Go. The frontend is in a separate repository and done in vue.js)
Exactly, it's awesome because if you eventually refactor the container page or section to a Vue comp, you can include the other child components straight without any further work. They already work as full blown components.

Plus:

- since we're mounting components and using SFC, we can use the "runtime only" build (though I keep the full one when I want to make something quick, because the savings in the minified Vye library were very small)

- it can be a small performance improvement in cases where we want to mount something in response to user input, whereas the template in the html page will be compiled on page load (afaik).

Do you really think people will ever really stop smoking? I picked up smoking as a young adult cause parties and peers. My father is an MD, I fully knew the risks associated with smoking. Reducing the amount of people that want to pick it up through taxes and social stigma, sure, that obviously worked. We'd rather have a bunch of vapers than a bunch of smokers, though. For now, with the data available today, we can safely say it's way, way less impactful on one's health.

> high school kid who might pick up vaping this school year, eventually pick up smoking

The "gateway" argument is far-fetched. The smoking numbers are still going down as of today. How do we even know it's a gateway? The data is just not there to back this up. It's like saying we should ban pot in currently legal states cause they might all gateway to crack.

I got the impression where they said that China would not have e-sim but would instead have a dual SIM tray that it was a mutually exclusive thing. E-sim or physical but not both. I hope I’m wrong. There’s a link on the spec page (point 11 in the small print) to details on the e-sim but it returns a 404.

If you buy a paperback book you're purchasing the physical materials in the book (i.e. the paper and ink), and a license to the copy of the material in the book. You can't do whatever you want with the content - e.g. you can't copy it and sell it on.

It's only now that the materials and the content can be explictly and easily separated that we see this logic actually apply in more meaningful ways. This is going to apply to more and more things in the future (e.g. cars, phones, etc.) so we better get used to it, unfortunately.

Microsoft's acquisition of Github hasn't closed yet, so the company is still operating independently. There is no reason to think that this has anything to do with Microsoft.

To be honest, it seems like a fairly simple mistake that was cleaned up within 48 hours. Certainly a pain in the ass, but these things happen.
EU parliament used to be a place to dump 2nd rate politicians who:

(1) Were appreciated by their party, but not so much by the voters. The real politics happened in the domestic parliament, so the parties would run their 1st rate politicians in the domestic elections.

(2) And were personally very interested in the EU, and thus wanted to run.

We have been sending 2nd rate but very pro-EU politicians to the EU parliament. So the opinions of the members of the parliament are quite far from the average opinions of the EU populace. We are slowly beginning to realize that the European Parliament actually matters, and we should give some serious thought about who we vote there.

> generally not advisable to say "well I own a canoe that's painted up for duck hunting" when everyone else it talking about their yachts

Why? The goal of most social conversations is to find a common thread, and if your commonality with this mustache twirling yacht owning theoretical is that you have a little canoe you enjoy taking duck hunting, then you at least have the beginnings of your thread.

Wealth and it's presence or absence is not indicative of social or moral worth, nor is socializing about "besting" the other person with your knowledge of imported French brandy. You may well talk to the person for five minutes, get through the usual pleasantries, and find you have nothing at all in common and part ways - or you might both settle on talking about small game hunting.
> picking apart people when they say silly/ignorant things

That may be a good thing.

Most people would feel discomfort [from your attempt to pick them apart]. In this case you would learn not to speak with them.

Some other people would enjoy thoughtful discussion with you. These would be your new friends.

But if you try to put your polite mask on - it would be hard for you to find new friends, even if there are matching people at that party.
