Believe me, there are worse topics. The best way to get yelled at or down-voted on HN is having a basic understanding of how EU regulations and the EU legislative process work.

You are comparing the best the US has to offer with the standard for European employees. Here in Germany, you have health insurance, no student debt, multi-month paid maternity/paternity leave, 30 days of vacation per annum, paid sick

Pickup trucks indeed have their advantages over the vehicles I listed. However, I would disagree somewhat regarding where the advantages are. I'd say that the vehicles I listed and pickup trucks manage fairly equally in the above trans

Given the use case you describe, a Citroën Jumpy would probably be the most sensible car: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Jumpy If you want a car that looks slightly better and costs a bit more, you could go

I'd like to point out two things regarding the size of Frankfurt. Frankfurt is no London and no Paris, this is clear. However, that's also related to the way in which Germany as a whole functions. The individual cities aren't

I'd say that the explanation is actually less contentious than it might seem. He has mastered the art of going viral. Right now, even the people that hate him are promoting him by giving attention to the controversies he manufactures.

Drain it. Seriously. Any other response is either unrealistically expensive/complicated or reckless. Sure, the Italian company could maintain it if they aren't attacked by ISIS, but that is a big if when failure is immanent.

You don't even need humans for safety features to become a problem: Every day, I drive on a road that goes through the German woods. The road is barely wide enough for two average-sized cars to pass each other. If one car is wider than

It is easy to lie to oneself that sleeping less is great if the activities done throughout the day are interesting. However, if all that added time is used for mind-numbing tasks, the true destructive nature (physically and mentally) of sle

It also used to be about retaining mobility once you get old. When you can't run around outside for more than a few minutes and can't ride a bike any more, a car becomes you sole connection to the physical world. Today, I'd s

I actually teach a German course to a group of recognized refugees, including Syrians and Eritreans. From what I've seen, the ability to handle the culture shock varies wildly from person to person and is strongly correlated with age.

I do the same with the added twist of using another browser for Facebook. That way, the tracking via the ubiquitous buttons doesn't work and the barrier for "just checking Facebook" is higher.

As far as I know, the NOX problems that were masked by the VW software cheating are not the kind of problems that everybody driving behind the car in question can smell. As somebody who has driven only Peugeots for 14 years now, I can attes

If that is the case, then it really doesn't belong to HN. In the background information it says that they closed down due to financial reasons. There is no free speech angle here. Reddit is currently being overrun by a wave "Islam

This thread reads more like reddit than it does like HN. So probably somebody behind the scenes sent it on its path downwards. Might even be the right thing to do, since the whole situation is far from known and opinions boil over. Who know
