Would be nice to have the same data per capita.

Apparently (judging by Google) Electricite de France SA, the French electricity company building a new nuclear power plant in the UK.

The article is not very well written. Sometimes it is unclear what they mean exactly, e.g.

The original sin, however, is in the states themselves, which previously rejected the European Parliament’s proposal to convert rape into a Eurocrime with a common definition, which would have clarified the legal situation

Does that mean it was also France and Germany who rejected that?

“The technical work is there, but France and Germany absolutely refuse to include rape [based on consent] in article 5 of the proposed law,”

What is this article 5 and why did the original speaker not focus on the consent bit but the article writer had to apparently add it. That wouldn’t make any sense if they wanted rape based on some other definition in there.

Amdahl’s Law from Computer Science and similar concepts would apply here as well. It seems sharing some of these concepts across domains would be useful in general.

Same thing they are doing letting asshole slavers like Musk get one.

Pro-Vita e Famiglia (“Pro-Life and Family”)

Considering how many of these groups are called something with family in the name I wouldn’t be surprised if 500 years from now the word ‘family’ was short for something like ‘sadistic hate group’.

The DAX index, comprising Germany’s top 40 companies by market capitalisation, has reached unprecedented heights this week, surging past the 16,500-point mark, a level last witnessed in early August 2023.

Someone doesn’t know what unprecedented means.

She was but in the EU she is actually nowhere near as bad as I expected back when she was elected based on her history. And for someone with former military related posts she really isn’t anything close to war-mongering.

“In Russian families, many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had seven or eight children, and maybe even more. We should preserve and revive these wonderful traditions. Large families should be the norm, the way of life for all peoples of Russia,”

Along with traditions such as 3-5 of those children dying before they even reach adulthood?

Not the person you replied to but they are probably referring to this study among other things https://www.bertelsmann-stiftung.de/fileadmin/files/Projekte/New_Democracy/230906_BST_Studie_Koalitionsversprechen_Halbzeitbilanz_ID1875_screen.pdf

The Hetzner Cloud Server API would actually make a pretty good start for what you call “actual cloud infrastructure”, certainly closer to that than NextCloud.

In terms of immigration we are also in desperate need of a larger work force to support and care for all the old people, the very same old people who vote for the parties advocating for deportations.

The most unpopular German chancellor ever

There might be at least one other chancellor that comes to mind.

What if I think burning them is the appropriate treatment for religious texts? Seems pretty likely that someone would think that.

To be fair a large part of that is the ridiculous assumptions built into the system from the start, as far as I recall they assumed something like an 18% population growth from generation to generation as a minimum. This obviously won’t work if you have past giant generations retiring at times when the current generation is much smaller.

Why not?

There are a few others I can think of but most of those revolve around rare events like moving in or out or buying furniture.

The problem is really that cars are too space inefficient for what they do. Cars travelling at 50km/h should have at the very least 1s of travel distance safety distance between vehicles which is about three car lengths. In other words for the often single person travelling in a car you need about one lane width times 4 car lengths of space which is probably more than your average apartment size in most cities and unlike apartments roads tend to not be stacked 5 or 6 high on top of each other. And that does not even take parking and space to enter and exit each parking space into account. Not to mention that a lot of that space is unused outside the peak usage hours at any given location.

5% is pretty steep, I wouldn’t be surprised if one could reach 30 kph without pedaling at all.

Technically you can reach that with any amount of drop per distance where the speed gain exceeds drag as long as you don’t specify how long the incline is.

Well, presumably the whole “fuck everything European and fuck everything we agreed to do in international agreements” UK attitude during Brexit probably didn’t give the French and other EU countries a renewed trust in the UK.
