"Bitcoin is popular in the west and the US specifically because it lacks the cutting edge financial networks rest of the world has."

This only applies to the US, Europe has a instant bank transfer system.

I know what you're saying, but the fact they don't do this doesn't make the statement untrue.

Tesla's mission is (from their website): "Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy."

That's probably an artifact of the reporting process. Most hospitals don't report during the weekends.

You're not being genuine here. The grand parent clearly states medical policies, which are not up to the EU to determine.

That the EU has the power to dictate policies in other areas is not relevant.

Yes, but the areas over which the EU has a say are clearly defined by the member states and healthcare isn't one of them.

So the fact that the EU creates policies on other topics isn't relevant to the COVID-19 situation.

It's well established within the EU that healthcare is a handled on a national level, so the EU won't respond to COVID-19 like the US does on a federal level.

The countries within the EU all have responded to COVID-19 in some way or another.

You can patent things even if you don't know exactly why it works. However a patent has to enable others to create the thing that is patentend.

That is to say, somebody who is up to date in the field should be able to create the invention using the knowledge from the field plus the details in the patent.

Apparently they are already selling them to RyanAir under the name 737-8200 to get rid of the MAX naming

Not an expert, but if you are running absolutely no untrusted code (which is hard depending on your definition of untrusted), then the risks are low.

However, when a vulnerability is found, then spectre etc. make it easier to abuse that vulnerability to do something useful.

Here in the Netherlands GJ (gigajoule) is used for buildings that use blockheating.

I agree with you that static typing can create more work on the boundries of a system.

However, the problems you describe also happen in dynamic languages and they have just as much potential to cause problems. The biggest issue with dynamic languages is that you don't get immediate errors when something changes. The system will just keep doing its thing, until it doesn't and you discover that something has changed and has already been propagated to other parts of the system.

I don't think dynamic languages are always better in these cases. They basically let you defer the error/change handling, but with the potential of much bigger data integrity/quality problems when things eventualy do go wrong because of changes in an integration.

If you hover over Africa you'll notice that the steepness of the lines is much lower than the rest of the world. Extrapolating from the lines I'm guessing they'll end up at 3-4 children instead of the ~2 children that most of Asia and Europe have.

Of course you can support punishing the people and business of the United Kingdom. The government is not a separate entity, it represent the people and businesses of the UK and acts on their behalf. Whether the government properly represents its people is not for the EU to concern itself with, that is a matter between the people and the government.

Means that they have short-selled Tesla stock. Simply put, they are betting on the Tesla share price to fall.

Edit: Together with the highly dubious "statistical" analysis they did, this COULD suggest that the article is intended to create doubts about Tesla and thus drive the stock price down. However, this is of course speculation.

Yes, it has to be flushed from time to time. Normally this happens automatically when it is needed. fsync() just forces a direct flush.
