I am lucky to have experienced digital ID systems in a few European countries, and the only complaints are when the system is unavailable. They make life so much easier, especially when dealing with government services. Unfortunately, the UK has a problem with executing large projects. From HS2 to NHS IT, there is a severe lack of management capabilities in delivering large projects on time and within budget. Not all projects are like this, namely the London Olympics, which were a success and with very few problems. It appears that governments have accepted the as a fact that the UK cannot deliveries on large projects, rather than learning from the success cases on how to do it.

Anyone that has ever lived in Britain knows the quality of the roads. The motorways rarely have hard shoulders, dual carriageway allow for motorway speeds without motorway safety, the B-roads can be narrow enough that 2 cars cannot cross each other without reducing the speed to 5 mph. The road surface tends to be pretty bad and roads lack good water drainage. On top of this, cyclists and motorcyclists are constantly getting killed both in cities and in the countryside.

I also agree with this point. This ruling could wipe out an entire industry unless the SEC creates a new framework for audits where there is accountability and liability.

People are getting upset for something that most likely doesn't affect them. It is only applicable to the EU, in the same way that in South Korea, Apple is going to be forced to allow third party payments. Americans don't like government overreach... They don't need to worry because this is not coming to their country. In Europe, we like strong government regulation to guarantee fair competition. The laws in the EU are designed to protect businesses from unfair competition practices, rather than focused on the impact on the consumer from unfair competition practices. Two different approaches with completely different outcomes. This is why in Europe we have a huge number of airlines.

I am sure that he will get pardoned for his federal crimes, but no president can pardon state crimes. This is why the NY investigation is so important. It is a state investigation, not a federal one.

Just look at the thing! It is Star Killer base... can we please stop destroying planets?

In the UK, every channel group has its own app/website. Some work on IOS/android, some on FireTV, some are only browser based. The iPlayer is the best, but it is still pretty bad. It fails to have the smoothness of a netflix or amazon prime user interface. If you could have a single platform with all the different providers, which would combine content and catch up TV, this could really have an impact. Anything less will be failure.

Your can get robbed, you need to do overnight deposits, employees can be stealing from the register... A cashless restaurant doesn't have to worry about all this. I don't know the situation in the US, but I guess it should not be too hard to get a prepaid card and top it up at a local store.

While Google is spinning it as something bad for consumers, this has the potential to be quite a good thing. Amazon app store should now be possible to have on an android phone without sideloading.

The Winamp is like the Nokia brand for Europeans. There is a mix of nostalgia and trust associated with the brand.

Paying 92.5£/MWh for nuclear (Hinkley Point C) is peanuts in comparison with the 195£/MWh for the offshore wind farms.

This is against building code regulations in Europe. You cannot have a fully transparent wall or door that people might walk into it. Usually, you find stripes of frosted glass around the 1.2-1.7 m height, to make sure people don't walk into it.

I am sure it is just bad journalism. Most likely was 802.11p at 5.9 GHz, using DSRC standard, with is the standard for vehicular communications.

If objectives are being met, it doesn't really matter. Jobs can lack the challenge or sometimes they have plenty of down time.

The Tesla Model S is one of the safest cars on the road.

However, it has the performance of a Ferrari. People are aware of this since it is one the key selling points.

Maybe the car could have a spare key for limited performance settings, if you are going to loan the car to someone else or to a valet parking attendant.

In any case, drinking and driving is inexcusable.
