  • Germany fans banned from buying number 44 kits over Nazi symbolism

    Jump

  • My theory is that designers are extremely afraid that someone might notice that many areas have had enough design already and don't really need a redesign every couple of years.

  • The tech behind a flying car, originally developed and successfully test-flown in Europe, has been bought by a Chinese firm

    Jump

  • You forgot the crucial aspect of the flying car concept. Privately owned flying cars are flown by unqualified idiots instead of qualified pilots and get basically no maintenance of safety inspections compared to planes and helicopters.

  • Russia lauding torture was unthinkable – now it is proud to do so

    Jump

  • I will also never understand that whole obsession in the US with what the founders intended over what makes sense. It reminds me of people reading religious books.

  • Russia lauding torture was unthinkable – now it is proud to do so

    Jump

  • There was that US TV series basically celebrating torture called 24. Not to mention every other movie or TV series with an interrogation scene.

  • Why are young people in the West increasingly unhappy? | DW News

    Jump

  • Because we look back on the time when our parents raised us and realise they had it better than us and that progress has given way to not just stagnation but now full on regression.

    Not just that but also that most of the reasons are not accidental but were predicted 50 years ago and deliberately ignored by most in the older generation for selfish reasons.

  • European firms in China overly focused on managing risks instead of increasing market share, which hurts innovation and increases costs for consumers, European business group warns

    Jump

  • If you followed the news in recent months you would know about the European efforts about ensuring supply chains do not involve exploitation or other morally objectionable practices. These represent compliance risks to companies working with countries like China. It would be naive to assume that a statement like his about risks has nothing to do with that.

  • Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable

    Jump

  • If you think you could ever trust anyone else outside maybe you closest friends and family to act in your best interest you are naive.

    On the other hand if you think that all politicians are equally untrustworthy you are even more naive.

  • Brexit’s Lasting Damage Is Looking Inescapable

    Jump

  • Depends on how you look at it. Some effects were probably visible even before the referendum just by announcing that. But on the other hand if you think "8 years ago is long enough that we should have seen all the effects by now" then the 4 year figure is probably more appropriate to make that evaluation.

  • No, what he is saying is "We don't like that Europeans care so much about things like reliability and moral concerns, it is getting in the way of making a profit over here in China and thus getting in the way of my career as the president of the European Chamber of Commerce in China".

    President Eskelund, who has lived and worked in China for 25 years, is chief representative for Maersk in Greater China and Northeast Asia. He has served two terms as vice president of the European Chamber—from 2019 to 2021 and from October 2022 to May 2023—as well as State Representative, and has also been actively involved with the Chamber’s working groups since the Chamber’s inception, including as chairman of the International Liner Shipping Sub-working Group (formerly the Maritime Working Group). He has also served as both board member and chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China.

  • France to offer four-day week to parents sharing custody of children

    Jump

  • The main reason poor and developing countries have high birth rates is that their rate of child mortality is higher and that they have no social systems to take care of the elderly so having many children is sort of their pension system. If anything we want to introduce measures there that make the high birth rates unnecessary.

    Also, why would we want to make the problem worse by having births here in addition to theirs? Assuming you don't mean the obvious racist or nationalist motivations?

  • France to offer four-day week to parents sharing custody of children

    Jump

  • Why though? There are more than enough people on this planet. Delaying the failure of pension systems for a few more decades is not a sufficient reason to screw over all of humanity.

  • European arms imports nearly double with Ukraine becoming the continent's biggest importer, US and French exports rise as Russian exports fall sharply

    Jump

  • It might make sense to edit the headline and add the years since "double" is basically useless without the information from when compared to when.

  • What if the problem with cars was not their method of propulsion? Epthinktank | European Parliament

    Jump

  • I mean sure, you can absolutely build a city to have enough room for cars for 10 rich assholes and everyone else can deal with the fact that the city is built to cater to those rich assholes instead of the majority of its inhabitants but I think it was pretty much implied by my statement that a car-oriented city would be the kind that has enough room for all its inhabitants and visitors to use cars and that is fundamentally impossible since cities have a lot of people and cars need huge amounts of space per user.

  • What if the problem with cars was not their method of propulsion? Epthinktank | European Parliament

    Jump

  • Actually it really isn't easier to keep things car-oriented because building a city so there is enough room for cars is fundamentally impossible.

  • Italians revolt against plans for nuclear waste dump in historic rural idyll

    Jump

  • Nuclear material going missing and small scale accidents with it happen all the time even just with sources used in medical devices and other uses for elements with relatively low radioactivity. And people already don't know how to recognize the signs of radiation poisoning today.

    How much worse would it be in a society that forgot a storage site was there?

  • Europe faces ‘competitiveness crisis’ as US widens productivity gap [ft.com]

    Jump

  • We had those jobs in Germany but then the CDU sabotaged the solar and wind industries.

  • Amsterdam Excluded From Netherlands’s Legal Cannabis Experiment

    Jump

  • Alcohol producers are probably lobbying against it too.

  • China complains about Dutch news report on Taiwan, saying European public broadcaster should "adhere to the one-China principle" and "not provide [a] platform for 'Taiwan independence' forces'"

    Jump

  • Presenting the internal error message to the user instead of a meaningful error message (what was tried? What happened? What can be done about it? )… some would say it’s bad style.

    Sometimes when running Java software I wonder if Java developers think a certain number of backtraces per hour in the logfile is required for the software to keep running.

  • Food trade bodies consider legal action over post-Brexit ‘not for EU’ labelling

    Jump

  • Then the “unionists” can see, how much their beloved kingdom actually loves them.

    If they haven't figured that out by now I think they are permanently blind to that.
