>The deep rooted anti-American theme of the EU does not take long to emerge. This undertone is rarely flaunted, but is intuitively detected. Few seem to understand that it is one of the bases of the United Kingdom’s deep unease with the EU, because UK people simply do not understand or share that objective.

Europeans are always upset that the first country to market with new products is the US, but if they spent even half the time they spend complaining about America to actually build something useful they would be much better off.

Apparently you are not in northern Europe.

Even in five years their will be amazing technological advances, but the question was 100 years. Goal post moving aside, I would be highly surprised if in 100 years energy is not mostly a solved problem. But doom is more dramatic and sells more advertising.

A hundred years is an eternity in terms of current technological advancement. We only learned the universe is accelerating its expansion in 1997. Think about that next time you think a 100 year supply is tiny.

>so if Google can iterate, than why can't Apple?

Google is known for no customer service because you are the product, Apple while not being perfect, it is clear that their users take precedent over advertisers and even developers.

The key to using melatonin is to stop every few days and see if you sleep through the night. If you don't keep going otherwise wait until you have two nights without proper sleep. I had major sleep problems but this system has worked great and I have not had to use melatonin in quite a while. Like everything, moderation is key.

Most of what the government does is wrong, or at least terribly inefficient, so the less they do the better.

Internet hippies are like locust, except they want their data private.

Dammit!

Even someone with the name anonymous can make a mistake, right BH?

People want to pretend that their government is not cutting deals with the US for the same info, which is fine as long as you realize you are just pretending.

>This means that the temperature at the bottom of the pond will rise to over 90 °C while the temperature at the top of the pond is usually around 30 °C.

Can that really be right, it seems like a very high gradient.

Like evolution, market forces are there whether you believe in them or not.

Sadly, if you believe in evolution and market forces we are on the optimal path.

Pretending the Spanish government has no responsibility for its actions makes it so much easier for the US to get its way, but I guess it makes people feel better.

Your house is yours because of an agreement with the country you live in.

The fact that my friends and I can't show up at your house unexpected and stay indefinitely must seem ridiculous to you as well.

Canada is part of the "Five Eyes" but enjoy your placebo.

If you compare Finland to Massachusetts, which is a more reasonable comparison, it does not look quite as stellar. Conversely if you compare Massachusetts to all Europe including the south and east then Europe looks pretty bad.
