In Eastern Europe, "socialism" doesn't mean anything. Same about the other ______isms. There is just more or less OLIGARCHY. If I rememebr well, in Romania, most of the right-wing economic measures were taken in early 2000 by the... Sociali

Be serious. 2000 people protesting in a town of 2 million is not a mass protest. A couple of hundred people people protesting in several other towns, which have a population of 300.000 each, is not a mass protest. Btw, do you remember what

I think you might be right. Anyway, my distrust for ALL politicians still remains. The left-wing's MO is "think of the children" while the right-wing's is "we must fight terrorism". But in the end they all have the same goal.

A tramway can be 50 meters long. A bus is usually 12-18 meters. A tram system can be fully automated. An electric engine is more efficient (constant torque) in an urban area with lots of stops. In countries like those in Eastern Europe, car

My impression is that Bing is getting better and better. I WILL switch to it IF they provide date filtering for all searches. (For example it's impossible for me to use Bing for searching on HN because I get out of date results, while on Go

How did the author connect the number of startups with the safety net and reached the conclusion that the safety net is a good (or a bad) thing? What if in countries with social safety nets it is much more cheaper to spawn a new extra compa
