No, information about power of cars is widely available in the specs sheet of the car (torque, etc). Therefore there is the chance of a fair and useful comparison.

I think looking at how much it costs to operate an appliance without looking at how well the appliance does its job is relying on incomplete information. I can make a dishwasher that costs 0 to operate but doesn’t clean the dishes. Therefore I think the whole system is flawed and useless and shouldn’t exist.

Requiring more power plants doesn’t mean that power will be more expensive. Power will only be more expensive if we get more demand and less supply. If supply (power plants) increases linearly with demand there won’t be a price difference.

I suppose they can just take them down.

I don’t think information about the NK regime posted on house.gov should be completely believed.

You are missing the fact that a lot of people in Spain, maybe the majority, do what’s called a “jornada partida”, which means that businesses close at around 1-2 pm and then reopen at around 5-6 pm. During that time people generally have lunch and maybe sleep.

Especially during the hotter months, the streets are practically empty.

The difference is that decades ago all movies were about how good and just the US was and now everything Hollywood produces is movies that tell that the US is the devil and other generic progressive slop. Is that really the image the US wants to project to the world?

That’s the most convoluted way of explaining taxes I have ever seen. By that logic nobody pays any taxes. Of course neither economists nor the government feel that way about taxes (including VAT), which is the reason why foodstuffs have a lower VAT.

> They all include blockchain identifiers. I've looked up the blockchain addresses; none of them have ever received payments. This is an ineffective scam.

How do you know they don’t make a new address for each message or maybe for every x messages?

That’s fair. Don’t play then. In the meantime the overwhelming majority of us will enjoy the game with a minimal amount of cheaters, which is what we desire.

If you think fairness in videogame competitions is frivolous then do not participate in them. Is it frivolous to not want dopers in cycling competitions?

What that means is that you don’t pay VAT directly to the government, the business collects it from you and is responsible for giving the money to the government. But yes, the burden is on the end consumer.

Yes, that’s how VAT works. You, the end consumer, pay it and the government pockets it.

Thank you both for the time you spent explaining this.

They are both correct.

Primary care physicians do not spend more than two minutes diagnosing you in my experience. The diagnosis is always shallow and sometimes wrong because of how rushed the process is.

You pay a third of your salary in taxes, then you pay VAT on everything you buy plus many more taxes for other things such as your property. It amounts to more than half the money you earn.

10 minutes is extremely charitable. Make it more like 2 minutes. (And we give the government over half our salary for this level of attention!)

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but - is there no "Go to definition" command in an IDE that can help with something like this? I mean, I understand that there is, but it doesn't work well with Ruby. Why?

You should look at the definitive edition of the trilogy they recently released to know the answer.

> tariffs levied by the EU and/or Germany are bad for me, because it is going to raise prices in the EU and Germany

That’s short term thinking. Signed: a Spaniard who has seen all of the country’s industry dismantled since we joined the EU to be moved to Germany and Eastern Europe and now we’re screwed.

Until you have to change the battery a few years later and it’s cheaper to buy a new bus.

Your competitors giving away their product means your product is not worth anything? That seems like nonsense to me. Maybe your competitors are unable to compete on the worthiness of their product which is why they are forced to give it away.

No, the European Commission is not democratically elected and I have no reason to think they’ll pay any attention to the concerns of the public.

If we accept this argument, let’s not forget that Apple contributes the entire iOS API, which is much much wider in scope than what Steam offers.

Someone will argue that until now the rest of OSes gave us the entire API for free, but I don’t see why charging for the OS API is an invalid way to make money.

Assuming that this story is true, is it posible that evolutionary pressure sees most coral species replaced by species that can withstand higher temperatures?

Just to be clear current Office applications have a splash screen.

No it doesn’t. Quoting the part of the Quran that says that Muhammad fucked a nine year old child doesn’t automatically lead to totalitarianism. Restricting the right of people from claiming that IS totalitarian though.

I also want to add that I didn’t flag your comments and I support your right to express yourself fully.

Of course I did get the point and I disagree. There’s a difference between allowing people to say bad things and allowing the same people to restrict the speech of others. How about we do the former without the latter?

You can also avoid fines for mentioning what the Quran says by simply not talking about what the Quran says.

(Read the article: “disparaging” means quoting what the Quran says about what Muhammad did)

Restrictions on speech always begin by something that many will argue is sensible, then they start growing into what boils down to totalitarianism.

I don’t believe that datum for a second considering how big their existing code bases are.
