5G is a big change from 4G including on the radio side (although overall the physical layer is indeed quite sinilar). The thing is that many new 5G features have not gained tractions in the marketplace, or are happening very slowly because

Gs may be used and possibly overused in marketing but that doesn't mean that they are meaningless terms and "mostly marketing" as per my previous comment. Again, the terms are heavily used in the industry in technical and eng

This has always been the case. TODOs are a bad practice and often outright banned in codebases.

No it is not. 2G->3G->4G->5G refer to real changes in technology and system architecture, as detailed in the Wikipedia page you linked to. 3GPP releases are more fine-grained than that. E.g. rel. 99 introduced 3G/WCDMA, rel. 8

Well the US benefit massively because of their investments in shale gas. Meanwhile the Europe suffers massively and they banned shale gas although they could exploit vast resources. Sure, the environment, etc but Europe hasn't invested

Storming the LegCo and install a British HK flag [1] has to be one of the most idiotic and self-harmful thing one could do. That really made me wonder what those guys were thinking. [1] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-

This is a Western view of things. Hongkong was built by the British and a symbol of foreign aggression and imperialism for all Chinese (including in Taiwan actually, at least if you are more on the KMT side). It was never "free" u

I think a common analogy is that this is a bit like the sonic boom when something travels faster than sound in that medium.

My experience with gardening is that you also get bitten and stung all the time by a range of bugs and plants so you get resistance training, too ;) British false widow spiders have nothing on me at this point...

It seems to me that this is standard practice in the industry (solar panels/batteries, HVAC, boilers, heat pumps, etc). And, yes it leaves you at risk if the supplier decides to cancel the product(s) or if they just go bust. Electrek h

In Chinese the use of 西 (western) often really means from the West compared to China so India/Central Asia/Middle East, which can be a little confusing at first if you are used to the word meaning "Western World". For i

We are not mere states of a federal country but sovereign countries despite the narrative some would like you to believe.

France has only one citizenship, everyone holds the same French passport so everyone has the same freedom of movement within the EU. It's not in Schengen, like most overseas territories in the EU, to limit illegal immigration into the

A better comparison is with Hawaii.

The French used to launch their rockets from Algeria. Their first satellite was launched from there. Since then they moved to (French) Guiana. The UK launched from Australia.

I think a point is to be made that international treaties and alliances work on trust. They don't "oblige" a country in the sense that you may be obliged to do something. Now the EU is not a military alliance per se and Artic

Yes, we really need big investment in infrastructure. At the moment parks and gardens don't have automatic watering as we expect rain to do its job, and we suffer from hosepipe bans because infrastructure to store water is not fit for

Ok, summer has been a record dry, as said... not the first time it looks like that but perhaps the longest and driest.

I must depend on the country because the trend is that some countries, the UK for instance, are receiving more rain as climate warms, but it is becoming more seasonal. This year winter was extremely wet then indeed summer has been a record

Sovereignty, noun: the power of a country to control its own government. [Cambridge] A country, EU member, Euro, Schengen, etc. does not control its foreign trade, has no currency, does not control its monetary policy, does not control its

In the EU Iceland would lose sovereignty because the EU is going federal, and the people of Iceland would lose sovereignty, too as a consequence. You are trying to clutch at straws because you are insisting on denying a fact that is not eve

Everyone went basically bankrupt 20 years ago and while they were hit they also recovered. The Euro can be a big impediment, too, as we have seen. Iceland ranks 5th globally in nominal GDP per capita, 1st in Europe for average wage, 1st glo

This looks like the usual "plan": frightening people (either because of Russia or Trump) will make them see the "correct path". In fact this is standard EU rhetoric: in today's world there is no choice. This is iron

But that's exactly how it is supposed to work. Primacy of EU law, currency, monetary policy, borders, trade, defence (under way), etc. It is not micromanagement, it is the aim to transfer sovereignty to a federal EU. There is no way to

It is logical if indeed sovereignty was a main issue in the debate even if this vote was officially only about whether to resume "accession talks." They have the benefit of seeing the situation in the EU and the direction of trave

Well, no they are not. And some very punctual, limited measures like Italy is doing right now for the show obviously does not mean they have control, as already said (and obvious).

Well there are not. And they did relinquish sovereignty on borders: Schengen means you do not control your border and we've seen exactly that over the years. This is factual, not an opinion. Even just free movement is a big reduction o

The Icelandic people are fortunate to have this discussion and debate now because, in 2026 and seeing what the EU is, it is very clear what the choice is: being an independent country or being a 'state' of a federal EU. It is for

OK, the Treaty of the EU does have a mutual defence clause but the military is specifically out of scope. Considering the huge ramifications of EU membership in all areas it still does seem ridiculously onerous if you are "just" a

As it happens sovereignty is a binary thing, at least when looked at domain by domain. Either you are sovereign or you are not, there is no half-sovereign. The EU is going the federalisation way. Even now member countries relinquished sover
