In countries without an irrational fear of child kidnapping, sexual abuse etc, we interact in the normal way. That is, by talking to them.

Can you "steal" a Pokémon in the game? If so, it's probably less appropriate to steal them from children.

That's the anglicised version.

The gaelic original uses Ã".

This is not true.

The UK considered it, but decided criminals would simply steal a phone etc, so didn't implement it.

All SSDs have plenty of spare blocks, so the final size is a decision on how many spare blocks to allocate. Measuring in a power of 1024 makes little more sense than for a hard drive.

For one example, my SSD is 256GB:

Disk /dev/sdg: 238.5 GiB, 256060514304 bytes

You obviously aren't European, if you're willing to make generalisations like that about 40-odd countries.

Tough, rap is music. This is the same as people arguing over what is art.

"Electronic" is a type of instrument, not a type of music.

Here's a song from my favourite band: https://youtu.be/YwlsziopzmQ

Ok, bands.

I accept half of this is dance music, but only if death metal counts as rock.

Without bothering to read the article, it's probably relevant that the user in question is a resident of France, and access the site from France.

Facebook obviously know this, as it's a key attribute used to target advertising.

It's nothing like "shared space" in the Netherlands.

A huge proportion of road in the UK has no white lines anyway, it's either too narrow, or they are in a built-up area with low speeds expected. Self-driving cars will have to deal with this.

Here, they are removing some lines from slightly larger roads in built-up areas, to make them feel more dangerous. That makes drivers slow down.

Plenty of driving has a net-negative effect on society, so by your economic argument we should be slowing down and reducing traffic even more.

If you'd actually read the article, you'd have noticed things like "one in central London and two in Croydon", and realised your comment was irrelevant.

European WWW, Swedish web site, and — per capita —
more Bittorrent traffic from Europe.

1500 pieces, mostly bricks but enough windows, wheels etc. And lots more colours than there used to be.

That's the largest, but there are a few sizes of the same thing, and in a Lego shop you can buy individual bricks by volume. I don't see what more they could do — there'd be no point having 50 no-particular-theme sets.

There's nothing wrong with different colours. Most European currencies have different colours, and they don't tarnish like the Sacajawea dollar does.

Odd-number polygons are better, so the coins can have constant diameter. That's easier for a vending machine to detect.

Changing the metal can be useful for more valuable coins. The £1 coin is quite thick, and makes a satisfying "clunk" if you tap it on wood, which the "copper" [plated steel] 1p and 2p don't.

There's a proposal that a booked car may not arrive within 5 minutes of the booking, to keep the black cab's 'instant' appeal.

Ticketing is, indeed, the hardest part.

In some countries it's simple. The bus looks like it's 25 years old, and the driver (or conductor) takes cash. This worked for me in Vietnam, Georgia, Albania and Ecuador. (Only Vietnam had understandable maps and signage, and then only for the trains.)

In London, you can pay with any contactless debit or credit card (or phone). It's not especially clear what the cost will be, unless you look it up on a website or in the guide book. There's a disadvantage as some foreign banks charge per foreign transaction, but it certainly makes things simpler.
