It doesn't help that literally every medical procedure in America is automatically 10 times more expensive than anywhere else in the world. And any US hospital administrator will pump that injured foreigner for all he or she's wor

Consolidation. This happened with cars during the great depression. Lots of small factories were bought out by Ford and Chrysler.

It's quite funny how Trump is killing European industry. Literally everything America has been doing the last few years has benefited China. The Chinese economy has real weaknesses make no mistake about it and a competent US leader cou

There is an offshoot of the Catholic church in the Netherlands were the bishop is not chosen by the Vatican. Dutch people really handle hierarchy poorly and prefer "flat" organisation style. Anyone who acts as the boss doesn'

Anything with a microphone in it can be used to spy on you. I always found that talking to computers is incredible stupid and only looks good in Star Trek. But I am apparently the minority in this because every car, phone and television has

Who do you think is financially backing the Chinese? The trillion euro of EU imports...

Apparently 40 percent of Dutch fifteen year olds can't read. So YouTube is unfortunately the future.

LG has an ads subsidiary, whose CEOs and executives constantly go on investor meetings claiming “they own the glass”, “they own the living room”, “they own the network and devices” in the “lg household” Uhm every tech bro does this it is wh

Compared to the Spanish empire, Napoleon and Hitler the Americans are but whiny children. It would be one last hurrah for my country to break away.

It wouldn't have worked if we lived in a world were start ups being led by women was normal and investors didn't think with their dicks. But alas.

My public library books are DRMed with Adobe and officially you're supposed to read them on your phone lol. But it is easy to convert them.

I very much doubt China is going to let their citizens freely use AI for hacking. In fact they keep a very tight leash on corporations and their employees.

Canada could have asked the Chinese to build oil terminals, pipelines and refineries. Not one drop of oil would have crossed the border. Instead Canada chose to bind itself to the US.

Europe-China trade has already overtaken the US. If only you knew how bad things really are... As for hegemony? Well the Chinese actually don't want to be world police.

It was a strategic decision during the cold war. Presumably if the USSR invaded Europe would be occupied. The gold would be used to fund the resistance.

Dutch people love glorifying drugs and then act outraged when the country becomes a narco state.

If it makes you feel better it is the same deal on the other side of the Atlantic. The way I see it military and civilian shipbuilding always went hand in hand. And basically all ships nowadays are built in Asia- except for some boutique lu

I disagree the inbuilt Netflix app is way better than any streaming box. Apple TV serves ads (it's literally called Apple for fuck sake), costs money and extra electricity.

France has always been chauvinist and nationalist. The principle reason why the Netherlands joined the EU was to sabotage the French-German alliance- all the alarm bells went off in the 1950s.

I recently learned that after WW2 it was not only the Americans and Soviets who were recruiting ex Nazis. Argentina was looking to scoop up scientists and engineers.

Sony is just handling this stupidly. What they should do is just stay silent and stay the course. Everyone fucking knows in 10 years time physical media will be dead and all of this is water under the bridge.

Nexus also sells a subscription service. Running a website of this magnitude costs money and I don't expect people to keep paying out of pocket forever. It is nice as long as it lasts.

Unfortunately letting random companies photocopy your passport leads to identify fraud.

At least when China does it they come up with elaborate historical documents. This is just sad.

Steve Jobs was a business man and CEO of a company. Judge the man on what he was. And he was those things brilliantly.

Well the definition of science is that it can change when new data is found- that's why it is not a religion. Our understanding of the universe is after all quite rudimentary. How many centuries did people fantasise about forests on Ve
