Slovakia: the EU’s new problem child (www.prospectmagazine.co.uk)

Borrowed from that other site...

New EU report: “Europe is stuck in a static industrial structure… [N]o EU company with a market capitalisation over EUR 100 billion that has been set up from scratch in the last fifty years, while all six US companies with a valuation above EUR 1 trillion have been created in this period.”

 

An Ifop poll commissioned by the French weekly Journal du Dimanche found that 52 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with newly appointed Prime Minister Michel Barnier, who was named by Emmanuel Macron after two months of political deadlock. The poll, which had a margin of error of up to 3.1 points, also found that almost three out of four respondents believed the conservative prime minister would quickly be toppled by a no-confidence vote.

Depends on your definition of very slow. I'm currently getting 1MBps which is alright.

Currently testing it. 20 peers. 1.5GB. Takes about 20 min.

Everything bad isn't Russia. Exploiting bad things to benefit from it is probably Russia.

We know Russia influenced brexit, that they own LePen and that they fund various far right groups in Europe. They're probably trying to exploit this too.

People already assume that it is lower quality.

Ever notice how there are no cookie popup on sites like Wikipedia? Funny how you don't need it unless you're being a total dick with the users data.

Did everyone decide to copy Trumps playbook? Can we have the adults back in the room please?

Why not just answer the question?

I don't know why you're getting voted down for sharing your experience. That's not how the voting should work IMHO.

I get that you get an emotional connection and can see them as potential babies, but not real babies right? Aren't a lot of embryos discarded once the ivf is successful? I haven't been through one so you tell me. Losing one or more of those would be very VERY less traumatic than losing one of my born kids. At least to me, losing an embryo, or a few thousand wouldn't even register.

I would love for someone to ask this to anyone who thinks an egg is a baby.

What's this weird obsession with measuring everything in anything but metric? How am I supposed to know how much a rhino weighs?

Had they said 1500 - 2500kg it would have been clear as day.

But on a positive note I now know how much a rhino weighs.

It's this a temporary respite or a more permanent thing?

"An armed society is a polite society", or so I'm told.
