Pesa in Poland makes great LRT vehicles too, but they're mostly known in Poland and other Eastern European countries.

>thinks we should avoid making Syria a quagmire

I think you accidentally misspelled "makes excuses for a tyrant while the blood is still dripping from his hands". Because you can be reasonable about not thinking that an invasion of Syria is a good idea and call Assad out on his war crimes. Most other candidates manage that just fine.

Exactly. Why would Google risk a political storm that will dwarf this (at least for now) very minor candidate's entire campaign many times over, in terms of importance and newsworthyness?

Vox is not a conspiracy theory laden government propaganda outlet.
Is that a universally agreed-upon goal?

Every bylaw and city planning initiative "curtails freedom" for the sake of engineering a better, more efficient community and better quality of life. The issue with (in particular) single family residential zoning isn't that it limits what land owners can do with the land - in the city, this is unavoidable and very much desirable. It's that it artificially incentivizes inefficient, unhealthy and socially disconnected car-centric suburbia.
You can stop leasing whenever you want to, buy the company that spent a five digit sum of money on that thing in your backyard will want to get then money back first, which is unsurprising.

I'm with you on some of those, but having one bar for URLs and search is a) great from the point of view of usability and, b) inevitable. There's just no real estate for two perfectly combinable text boxes on mobile devices.

Africa of course already has 3 regional currency unions (West CFA, Central CFA, Common Monetary Area) and I wonder if that would have worked better in Europe as well. Call it an intermediate step if you want, with the united Euro a kind of nice ideal to strive towards, once all EU economies are on the same footing and have well-correlated economic cycles (so basically a long long time in the future).
They are not. They are compelling an ISP to block a site (not redirect it) by using the courts.

Well I certainly didn't mean "panting"... My bad.
Re:I’ve Picked My Job over My Kids on Sunday June 30, 2019 @04:21PM (#20320272)
When it comes to panting, an important part of quality is quantity. As much as some people want to think that a day filled to the brim with exciting activities is a substitute for a week of near-absence, it's just not. That's not only my experience, but the experience of many of my friends with parents who greatly prioritized their career over spending time with them.

Where would you use the functionality of converting DICOM into protocol buffers?
