  • There’s been talks on Turkey joining, which is mostly outside of Europe, but it’s not even close. With Canada it doesn’t make much sense, it’ll always be closer to US. Maybe something resembling NATO or UN could be introduced, uniting all the still sane countries, but that would be short lived given how hard it is even for UN and NATO to function in the current political climate and rising alt right movements all around Europe - I don’t think any country or organization is truly safe from those.




  • You might have a say in how to implement the requirement, but in this case, if the company decided to follow societal norms and not laws, it’s 100% on the management. You might pin this on devs if they were pressured to release an unfinished product - sometimes the pressure is so big devs are afraid to admit it’s not really done, but in this case, it’s such a crucial part of the project I think it’s one of the first things they worked on.

    Realistically, it’s more profitable not to stop - customers are impatient, other drivers too, and pedestrians are used to that. To maximize profit, I’d rather risk some tickets than annoy other drivers or customers.












  • It might be due to the fact that I mostly consume media in English, but I hear more about US elections than I heard about the EU parliament elections which were last month. A lot of people are interested, and for good reasons - it’s going to influence much more than US itself. I don’t think you can go back to keeping your elections to yourself without keeping your military, pop cultural and corporate influence to yourself aswell.
