Only a day or two since this was announced and a petition against ID Cards has already reached 1 million - way beyond the 100,000 required for a Parliamentary Debate. I wonder what the petition's…

Avoid the generalizations - 'everything ...' and try to think what the countless million other ova and spermatozoa who didn't make it into the universe at all would make of your despair…

How interesting.

I have to say - thank you for that!

Exactly. To remind us - it's the fructose which is a metabolic problem in amounts over a certain value - worth checking out why. Cane sugar and beet sugar both contain sucrose which is one glucos…

I live in Romania. You can have whatever test you want if they can do it. Mostly they can at least in our central area. No doctor's note needed.

Agreed. What's the way forward though? https://www.romania-insider.com/insurance-union-one-cyclist-... 'In Romania, one cyclist dies every two days'…

Agreed!Two things here: 1. Totally deficient regulatory framework and 2. The argument for those on the Right or Left is - do those running the company bear the consequences of their actions? Do public…

I am not only absolutely right but also astute and thoughtful - there's awful lot of us!

We meet this casual use of acronyms all too often on HN. It only takes a line or two to enable everyone to follow along without recourse to a search expedition.

How is it she's still in a job?

"[Bits of] the universe observing itself" is indisputably true. And we know (as far as we can tell) that maintaining our component atoms within a certain kind of dynamic pattern is a prerequ…

Rather surprising then that we have the Commonwealth of 56 member states, most of which were former territories of the British Empire from which the Commonwealth developed. They are connected through …

Romanians I've spoken to all say they voted for Nicusor Dan because the other candidate(s) were/was so dire.

Not that individualistic. We have tables giving upper and lower limits for around 26 nutrients for daily intake. These tables are published by dozens of countries which mostly did their own research o…

Here's one issue. Romania has a really lousy motorway system, what there is of it. I gather that corruption has much to do with this apart from construction difficulties involving the Carpathians…

What is it then that they love doing? Is there a long-term thrill in being a piracy site? I don't think so. No truth in the angel story but they do say "it aims to "catalog all the book…

Not Claude but ChatGPT - I asked it to pipe down on exactly that kind of response. And it did.

> Don't like Farage. At all I love the way folk feel they have to apologize to HN users (guess which way the majority lean) when they recognize someone like Farage has a point.

'hoarding more and more of the wealth'. Sounds very much like you believe in the pie fallacy. A zero sum game? Maybe that's not what you meant though.

Well while celebrating, let's remember that the dream leans massively on the US. 74% of Europe's publicly listed companies depend on US-based technology services like Google and Microsoft f…
