Only Americans want to defend their country? I'm Swedish, did my military service, and generally agree that I would want our defence forces to have the best weapons available.

When I fainted on a crowded bus i Buenos Aires (as a tourist from Sweden) the bus driver stoped to check on me. When I wanted to get off and rest a while, two other passengers got off the bus with me to make sure I was okay. I'm sure t

I would guess that it's probably aspirational to some degree. People hope to work with larger systems. Personally I think it looks interesting and I work at a small web agency. We usually only work with a few parts of these kinds of sy

And the counter argument that Dawkins himself he is an atheist because he was born in the UK in the 20th century just proves Dawkins point. I think Dawkins himself would agree that the likelihood of him being atheist would have been far low

Ok, I just suffered through the 13 minutes of nonsens from this "expert". One problem is that he doesn't understand what he is arguing against. Dawkins doesn't argue that, because people tend to have similar beliefs as t

I think that pages 403-415 provides pretty good definitions[0] But that's not my point. My point is only that there are aspects of a typical free market economy (by American right wing definitions) that are better represented in countr

I know they are a right-wing think tank, that is why I referenced them when it comes to rank "market economy" factors that people who believe in and want to have "free markets" care about. In what way is it a political p

People often see the United States as the ultimate free market, but compared to other countries it can be seen as pretty heavily regulated. According to the Heritage Foundation's Economic Freedom ranking, it ranks 25th, well below &quo

Yes! Maybe we can start caring about stuff that actually matters now instead of obsessing over IP-addresses maybe touching US soil when loading a font from a CDN.

Rereading it now seems like "companies" in the heading only refers to the three fined companies and that the decision may be applicable to other companies.

I would almost always go with what the team or someone on it was most familiar with and can setup in less than a day. I think it should include an easy way to scale at least for a few months to come, a reasonable way to provision more capac

You should probably try buying better quality cookbooks? I don't think I have ever seen a stock image in a cookbook.

Yes, but that's my point. A large number of companies uses analytics data to provide better service and products without any sinister motives.

So, you are saying that increasing the supply of housing in this case actually would cause an increase in prices? How would that work? I agree that there is no guarantee that building housing lowers prices, other causes (like increases in d

Sweden doesn't have the same system of punitive damages. I am not a lawyer, but I would guess that this might result in a small fee for not following building ordinances or something more serious if gross negligence was involved. Peopl
