okay, thanks

didn't you post on the 'dex a few years ago? (just curious, seen a similar username in some older threads)

As a French, I think I've as much "China/SE Asia is overfishing" as "Europe is overfishing". But usually it turns political very quick, since the region supported by the fishing industry don't have many other economical prospects.

Yes, they are paying software creators to add a chrome install in the installer, usually with a checkbox that's enabled by default. I remember the creator of VLC saying that refusing Google's offer was the hardest decision he's taken, so the money offered must be good.

Yeah, it's the same thing for me.

Even in France, with paying interstate (called autoroute here) and subsidized rail (it was a state monopole until recently), most of transport of goods is by truck.

I think it's mostly a last mile problem (you'll need big trucks to carry from the station), compounded by the fact that most of the train station of cities and I don't think they is a lot of dedicated cargo train station. Also you do not control part of the schedule: you are dependent on the departure/arrival time of trains. And don't forget the strikes...

Where did you get the numbers for France? I though that it not possible to do any ethnic census there? Perhaps it could have been done by asking for countries of birth for the parents/grandparents.

Also when you are saying colonies, is it the former colonies (North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Ex-Indochina) or the current overseas departments (in the Carribean, Guiana in South America and in the Indian Ocean)?

I had a discussion with a French medical student concerning organ donation. She said that the type of death where organs can be donated (cerebral death if I remember right) is very uncommon (compared to cardiac arrest) so we did not have to worry about it (or needed to opt-out). In addition, like in the Austrian example, the relatives are consulted for their assent.

Or the superstition that the organ will be harvested while you are still alive.

I just liked the various graphs used in the article, so I wanted to share that.

As for the rest of the site or the thread discussing the result, I don't think you'll miss much by not wading further.

I wonder if this submission would have gone to the front page if I had added game (or [game]) in the title as I first intended when posting it...

I was disappointed by their redesign and I think I won't be using it much. There is too much wasted space, the banner at the top is useless (for how I use the site) and the selection of article for a story is too limited, only 3 compared to a dozen in the old design.

At least this afternoon I still had access to the old design by disconnecting.

He did said that the drinking was done outside of work hours.

Jira can be configured into sthg unusable, Trello can't. But Jira can be configured to be nearly as simple as Trello, if not as much user-friendly.

Well, in France, except for car-commuting, we're going fast gain all those habits.

> I'm racist, for example, as are pretty much all other people in the US

FTFY.

I think that a part of human nature make us distrust those who are different, whatever the difference is.

I remember that one because of the offer to learn Oracle during a cruise, complete with the important part "Convince the boss" : http://www.dba-oracle.com/BC_cruise.htm

For Europe, at least where I am, it goes both way, in some parts the women are on equal footing to men, but in other parts it's the opposite, with women seen as inferior to men.

> how they threat each other.

Do you imply something here or is it just a slip?

What makes you think they do not need it now?

I hope that the solution is applicable, as I hope that the policy can be changed. But that's something on the long term.
