We can only dream that Google is split up anytime soon.


You are correct, but it is a challenge to get the European countries to cooperate. I’m glad that they have filled the gaps this quickly.
I’m not sure about other countries but Sweden has been involved in several big weapon deals with other European countries lately, buying frigates from France and selling airplanes to Ukraine and submarines to Poland.


€4.1 billion is just a small cost of doing business. Their operating income for last year was $129 billion.
+1, my parents are using Mint and they are only browsing the web. They have not complained anything after almost a year. In my case, I didn’t dare to set up automatic updates so I’m updating the computer when I visit them.


Indeed, lets hope this is the first of many funds that can invest in European industry.
And there is never time to maintain the code, because each project only want to add more feature/s which makes the spaghetti code even worse.
In my group we had a golden opportunity to fix all old mistakes but no, we (decided by PO and group manager) needed to spend all time on proof of concepts that will go to production at earliest in 5 years. Now that opportunity is gone and we are crunching in order to meet the deadlines instead. Still with bad code quality of course.


Molten salt can also be used for heat storage. I’m not sure what the advantages are of molten salt vs water vs sand and what is most realistic.
I don’t think any of those alternatives are used in large scale.
As a side note, some ski resorts are saving snow during the summer to be able to open earlier in the season.


I think the pumped storage is more used when there is an excess of electricty, for example when wind power plants produces large amount of electricity and the prices goes toward zero, or sometime negative.

I can’t comment on the vehicle-miles per acre but solar panels in Minnesota should produce plenty of energy from March-April until September-October. Many Germans have solar panels and Minnesota is south of Germany which means they have even more sun.


The latest community phone will be manufactured in Finland.


Sooner or later they need to know where the countries are going to spend their money, otherwise they can’t build new factories or expand existing factories.
It can take several years from when a company decide to build a new factory until it is allowed to start the construction. Then the construction and installation of machines takes a couple of years. And then the company can finally start to produce and sell the weapons.


The second round of the presidential election in Portugal is between the the moderate socialist António José Seguro and the far-right André Ventura. Ventura represent the Chega party which got 22.8% last year in the general election.


Thanks! Was just reading about the Norwegians in the news so I don’t know about everything, but I think the voting was determined before the release of the Epstein documents and the trial of Marius. It was some parties on the far left who wanted to have the voting and they knew that they would not be close to a majority.
I’m from Sweden and people here like our king and also Victoria so I’m sure they will also handle a lot before there are any serious discussions about going for a president instead of a king.


Not only did she send texts to Epstein, she also visited him and stayed in his house in Florida. And all this was after Epstein was convicted in 2008.
They had a debate and voting in the Norwegian parliament today about the future for the royal family. 84% voted to keep the royal family.


The Italian police wont allow that because of pressure from the US and Meloni who likes Trump.


I’m thinking that other countries might rush to withdraw their gold even if Germany get their gold. Because Trump might very well say something on social media about how awful Germany is when they are taking back their gold and that he maybe should stop it. Which could trigger other countries since no one will be the last one with large gold reserves in USA.


It seems you have more information than the article. I was not aware of that law. I have never been in Bologna so I shouldn’t tell them how the speed limit should be set but it looks like the area inside SS64 and SS9 would make a lot of sense for a 30 km/h zone. And the bigger roads, like SS64 and SS9, can be 50 km/h. This is only based on a quick look on Google maps so the actual situation might be complete different.
Do you know how big area was impacted by the 30 km/h speed limit?


This feels like a typical topic that the city should determine independently of the government.
It is great that the fatalities decreases a lot, which is understandable since a pedestrian have way better chance of surviving if the car drives at 30 km/h instead of 50 km/h.
You are correct. Even supercapacitors discharge but since they hold more energy it takes longer time before you can notice/measure it.
When is the plot from? It would be interesting to compare one plot from 10 years ago with one plot from today to see if the numbers in favour of EU is increasing in the middle age groups as the young people becomes middle aged or if people are losing faith in EU as they grew older.
Edit: okay, since it says leave and remain it has to be from 10 years ago.
