Philips Professional Display has a Signage Screen probably based on the same panel available for some time. I have seen it the first time at ISE last January and it looks pretty good, considering it is ePaper. About half the price.

> Other countries' dishwashers are also connected to the hot water supply.

I think it is more a 110V vs. 230V household power issue. For 110V countries like the US the amps needed to heat up the water would be pretty high or the heat up would take very long. In Europe however I have yet to come across a dish-washer that is connected to the hot water supply.

What kind of PMS integrations did you look for? The space is horrible (especially so after Oracle bought Micros-Fidelio) but there are a ton of companies offering interfacing middlewares that connect to a ton of different PMS systems and offer a unified API.

Scrolling through these made me remember that some years ago Katie Melua played a concert on the bottom of the "feet" of Troll A platform (number 4 of the list). Apparently world record for the deepest concert. Absolutely mind blowing scale.

You can live in an unban environment without these problems. Maybe not often found in the US, but where I live (Germany and most of the rest of Europe) it is certainly possible.

4AM deliveries and drunk people are not a reality in most neighbourhoods. I visited family in a small village and the noise from the combine harvester on the fields and trucks of harvest going by was significantly higher then the background noise on my street at night. Also nothing stops you from still owning a car (but using it less), or taking a car-share or cargo bike to Costco.

Thing is noone forces you to live in a dense urban environment. Everyone should have the freedom to choose, while paying the actual cost (with externalities).

Obvious Plug for not-just-bikes on youtube. Great channel that goes into good detail on these matters.

It sometimes helps to call the council about this. Many streetlamps have the option for shading in certain directions to prevent your problem, but the guys installing it might not set it correctly.

My parents had the exact problem. Called up the city and actually a few days later a cherry picker appeared and there was no more light glaring into their windows.

There have also been occasions where Museums or clubs owning Steam Locos bid for contracts hauling freight and provide the service using their Steamers. Example here where they supply a railway construction site [1] or here [2] were some fertiliser is pulled.

I dont know about the use as a shelter, but you might be interested in the fact that one of the largest german shipyards Blohm & Voss is right at the south side of the tunnel.

you can and you should. I have a Zenitar 50mm f2, which was the standart glass fitted to the Zenit camera discussed in the article on a M42 adapter. It makes beautiful pictures especially considering ypu can pick it up for ~10€ or sometimes free.

Thing is in the previous discussion it was already mentioned by experts that this "No" would be likely and that the result would be an App that would not be tightly integrated with the OS and thus less useful (and less used). But its now really easy for the politicians to point the finger at Apple instead of admitting ones fault.

How large the influence of the CCC actually has been is of course uncertain but their comments have played a big part in public discussion of the last days. Most articles that I have read mentioned the criticism. And in German media quoting the CCC is often synonymous with "the nerds who actually understand computer say" (in good but also bad ways).

There is a chrome extension that brings back the "view original image" fucntionality.

> What is wrong with IT culture at German car manufacturers?

Don't know about BMW in particular but I went to university in close vicinity to another large german car manufacturer. They do basically nothing in house. Everything is outsourced to suppliers (who often outsource their stuff again). There is enormous price pressure among the suppliers and no real room for culture. Also Java, everything is Java.

But the companies are slowly seeing that its a problem and start building up their own dev teams with "hip" offices in Berlin and so on.

Of course there are always exceptions.

Happens once or twice in my city every year. Last year I missed the evacuation perimeter by about 50m. Quite a weird feeling taking your trash out and hearing policecars driving though the neighbourhood making PA-announcements to evacuate.

Probably will attract a few people from Volkswagen. I personally know people who commute to WOB from Berlin, since they just cant stand the town. (And you cant blame them). Although to be fair VW acknowledges the undesirability of their hometown and has also opened Dev offices in Berlin.

Also just a personal observation, but I don’t see many people using eBay anymore, maybe for some special niches (for example stuff you would find in a Home Depot is often better to get from ebay since it’s probably to large for amazons fulfillment anyways). But in general everyone here orders everything from amazon (if you look in the back of a delivery van it certainly looks like it). Only in fashion they do a very bad job, there is is Zalando all the way here.

Fords sold in Europe are mostly European cars (developed and build in Europe for the European market). They are smaller but in many aspects objectively better than most US models.

It is called short selling. Don't how/if that works in combination with an IPO.

Coming from a country whos economy is basically build around cars (Germany) I am baffled by this also. Especially when they think that they can do everything in-house. All the big car companys rely on a ton of suppliers for all kinds of stuff (ranging from drivetrain, to software from ECUs). This means they dont have to worry about a lot of stuff and can basically act as big-time system integrators.

Do you have a source for that? I tried finding an answer to this a while ago and was left a little unsure in the end.

Seems to be a restriction of that particular carrier. I used multi / pair sims regularly years ago on several German networks (I.e. for car phones) and they would all ring on incoming calls. However only one card would receive SMS messages. But that should not have been a problem since iOS can already share them between devices.

The airport board look (unsurprisingly, since they have been based in there) like the ones in Frankfurt.

Sadly it’s not the case. Some low cost airlines are said to have extremely short training just for minimal compliance. It goes as bad as an Air Asia crew felling the passengers to pray instead of preparing them for the emergency situation.

Russian watches are a good gateway drug to watch collecting without having to spend a lot of money. There are so many unique editions and designs and (here in Germany) they can often be found on flea markets for unter 20€.

To some extent yes. In developing countries (including Myanmar) they are pushing free “access” to the internet via the Facebook app. So for a lot of people in these countries Facebook is essentially the internet.

That „Mysterious object in a room in Varosha“ (picture 10) looks a lot like the leftovers of a Strohpferd (horse made of straw)

Can confirm with own anecdotal evidence, was there in 2007 and they told me there is some kind of communist party summit (and thus increased security in parts of the city). The sky was blue and Beijing was kind of beautiful. Sure enough 1 or 2 days after that summit was over you could barely see the other side of the street.

Same in Germany. Of course drunk driving is not unheard of (especially when you get more rural (and also older people)), but the general attitude I experienced is a lot different then in the US. Here almost noone in my group of friends would get behind the wheel after more than one beer. And if someone would dare it would probably result in "lets call you a taxi" or "crash at my couch".

When I was visiting friends in the US, a totally different picture. Almost everyone was happy to drive after a few drinks and noone did care.

FYI: There are special rolls for hardwood flooring, that dont scratch the floor.

In Germany (at least in they cities that I have lived in) they have a "Vehrkerskindergarten" (Traffic Kindergarden)[1] in addition to the cycling classes. Basically its a miniature town (streets with traffic signs, traffic lights etc.) where kids go around in pedal cars and bikes. They are run by the Verkehrswacht and the local police. You also get a badge for completing this and the proud picture of your class will be published in the local paper.

In this case you would still be subject to Belgian taxes and regulations, since your principal place of business is in Belgium. Arguing otherwise could be pretty complicated and would probably require an actual office with employees in estonia and a good tax lawyer.
