Only -10% in March, year on year. I was surprised it’s only down by that much, but the lots of people plan their trips a long time in advance and canceling can be complicated. I wonder what the summer will bring.

I remember reading that they get extra suspicious of you don’t have social media profiles active on your phone…

It looks like they’re just going to lobby trading partners to please direct (actual) retaliatory sanctions towards products from red states, not their state. In general, I like that idea. But maybe now any excemptions for blue state products should come with a promise to actually fight the incipient fascist government…

There is a history of following through with huge fines https://www.theneweconomy.com/business/top-5-largest-fines-levied-on-tech-companies-by-the-european-commission

Thank you! Neither the BBC nor the Flemish public tv seem to say this yet (they just repeat the statement Trump gave)

Github was bought in 2018. For all we know, OP could have been 10 at the time

Exactly. That’s what I heard from people who lived abroad a long time. While you’re away, the country of origin changes and after a while you’re homesick for a place that only exists as a memory.

They weren’t trying to convince you to come, they were trying to gently explain that it’s a little mean to judge 100% of the people for what is happening

As I said in the other place this article was posted: the source seems to be an online reader survey from t-online.be. That means the scientific value of this is pretty low. For decent surveys, you need a random sample. In this case, you need to be a visitor of t-online, and you decide for yourself that you want to participate. That’s already enough to skew results. Add to that that there’s a lot of online activism against Tesla (for obvious reasons), so the poll could have been partly hijacked. Such a low number of people who don’t care or haven’t heard about Tesla going rogue is not realistic anyway. There’s a lot of people who are weird, contrarian or simply avoid all news.

There’s two positives for her resigning:

• she can live on without hating herself
• she signals to the world that the Washington Post is not reputable anymore I’m not sure how she could have a more positive impact by staying, which you appear to imply she should have.

There’s a lot of outstanding orders for F35s from EU countries. No idea if it is possible to weasel out of them, and if the sunk cost wouldn’t be too high to make it politically viable…

Bush junior’s first term was a blip. His second one should have been enough to look for other partners.

As a Belgian, understanding Belgium is indeed a challenge! (Most of us don’t) If you mean understanding the Belgian language, that’s even harder, because there is no such thing.

Have a look at RouteYou and Wikiloc

Google never used OSM intensively. Apple has in some regions, but I’m not sure how it has evolved over the years.

They have a team of employees working on the app and the hosting of servers to package the data in downloadable files also costs money. So consider donating if you don’t want to use the Play version.

While I have seen anecdotal evidence for GMaps monitoring chabges in OSM to keep their data up to date, the only “filling in of Gmaps with OSM” I’m aware of is where they used a government dataset that itself was using the OSM license.

What’s your point?

Because if ya ain’t white, you can’t be free!

So now that is in the hands of the folks who use the OSM data. It’s in a somewhat exotic tag, so by default any map that uses OSM will still show Gulf of Mexico, unless they actively intervene to show Gulf of America. So if you see an OSM based map showing the latter, you know they made that choice consciously.
