The problem is getting Greeks to pay taxes, even Greek government employees don't pay their taxes with impunity.
That is nonsense. Like in any other country taxes on wages are deduced before payout and transferred to the government at wage payout. And usually you get deduced more than you actually own them, so you have an incentive to make a tax declaration to get the to much payed tax back.
The rest are currency conversion errors and mountain high differences in financial markets etc.
A typical worker, earning less then lets say $50,000 per year, is not even half as productive/efficient in the US as in Europe. Otherwise all your jobs would not be outsourced to China, India or other asian countries.
The GNP/capita is no measure at all when you can manipulate local costs, exchange rates and can invent artificial spendings or gains.
A country that has a financial market that dominates 50% of the money flow has obviously twice the GNP versus a country that has no financial market. But: nothing was produced. There is no productivity at all
In most countries minimum vacation per year is by law 30 days. And no, you can not be forced by contract to give up days on that.
Most countries have free or partly public funded kinder gardens etc. public transport for school kids low crime rates. Chances are you never meet one who ever witnessed or suffered from a crime.
Bottom line you have less hassle with your life... best places are of course Denmark, Netherlands or other nordic countries, Germany and France and depending on your touch for weather Spain and Italy and of course the baltic countries.
If you or your wife are into software development you an get a job here with a snipp of a finger.
Yes the US puts in a lot of hours and a high productivity. You get it slightly wrong: a) lots of work hours -> less productive b) few work hours -> high productive
Oh wait. No they didn't. Russia moved in and installed puppets in all those Eastern bloc countries and the other European countries did nothing. You have an completely idiotic way of interpreting how WWII ended. I would suggest to read some books, idiot!
Storing the energy chemically would be very nice compared to some of the other weird ways like pumping water uphill and so on. Pumping water uphill is efficient to about 85%. All chemical solutions rely on burning the chemicals which have at point of burning an efficiency of 42%... not even counting the cost of producing/inefficiency of producing said chemicals at first. Your argument would make a bit of sense if you would say: a tank for 100 tons of liquid ethanol I can build everywhere... pumping uphill makes only sense at certain places, however.
Rofl. This countries use that strange pound: The six nations were the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. (copied from the wiki article) So it is first of all debatable if is the most used pound and secondly we can assume there are plenty of countries that don't use any pound at all, which of course does not contradict your 'most used pound'.
Except for Somalia and Sudan, 3rd world countries don't exist anymore (since 20 years). And the problems in those countries are political and not a farming/water/harvest/food problem.
That is a very silly post, phantomfive. Patent numbers are usually not published in newspapers. And ordinary people don't know how to "google" for them.
But if you give us a list of numbers and the relevant information what it is about, you certainly would get enlightening answers.
Germans don't refer to them selves as 'Deutschlaender', we call us 'deutsch'. However following your argument, plenty of germans refer wrong to other nations as NATION-laender, which is embarrassing e.g. for people from Thailand, the land of the people of the Thai. A Thai is called a Thai and not a Thai-laender, but 90% of the germans get that wrong. Same for the language, Thai speak Thai, not Thai-laenderisch.
Actually the summary already told you it is a referecne to the nordic/germanic home of the Gods called Asen. Star Gate obviously used the same reference. It is actually a Bildungsluecke that you don't know that SG did not invent the temr but borrowed it. I really wonder how much of the names in SG you did not grasp... because ALL of them are from human mythology, as in Egyptian gods e.g.
Germany has not 2 million immigrates in a single year. Where would we place them? Again: 2M immigration in a single year, that is one person per 40 citizens, that is a bit more than 2 per 100. You would simply see them on the street!!! That is a no brainer. The city would be "full with them".
And the question if it works or not is not the point. The point is that you are fabulating properties into Homeopathy that are not there. Because you don't know the actual concepts/ideas behind it. Plain and simple.
No idea what Hormesis, but I look it up. Perhaps you should look up Homeopathy, too.
My main critics is: as soon as you have made an "App" from it for iOS/Android... it is an App, and not a Stack. The user can not modify it anymore.
And what I want is a "true HyperCard" on my "pad of choice"... I actually don't program much for my own "laptop" but if I have to, I use Groovy/Scala/Java... because "as a language" (as funny/interesting as it is) the xTalk languages simply suck. While it looks like "natural english" it is a hell of a pain to figure how to write a sentence in a way that it is interpreted correctly.
I'm playing with AppleScript again... and actually I can not write the simplest things without googeling how to do it.
But it is fun: set formula to the clipboard set toEval to replace_chars(formula, return, "") set toEval to replace_chars(toEval, ",", ".")
set evaled to run script toEval -- display dialog toEval & " -> " & evaled
set the clipboard to formula & "--------" & return & evaled
on replace_chars(this_text, search_string, replacement_string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the search_string
set the item_list to every text item of this_text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to the replacement_string
set this_text to the item_list as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
return this_text end replace_chars
You can do stuff like this in a text editor or sticky note or what ever: 140.0 + 25
Just select the text, copy it, run the script and paste on selected text again: And the result is: 140.0 + 25 -------- 165,0
(The newline in front of the dashes sometimes does not work)
Well, the code is lengthy because AppleScript lacks a simple string replace function (facepalm). I replace "," with "." because I'm on a german system and like to write floats as "10,12" instead of "12.12"... have to fix the script to replace it back:D
Anyway, the "the clipboard" phrase as "logically as it is" was not obvious. I mean the "set the clipboard to..."
The script above took me minimum 10 minutes while it actually should have taken only 30 seconds to write it. (And the replace function is still buggy as it actually should have saved the old delimiter and use that at the end to restore it... but alas...)
Actually I'm not fluent in all the differences, but IGNORECASE e.g. is obviously a very good addition.
I basically only teach AWK to people who are indeed working with files. Or simply want to learn something very simple. Which basically means they are Mac or Linux users, anyway.
For me AWK is a kind of basic without line numbers with the plus of superb text processing abilities.
There where two guys giving ill worded comments on my suggestion for AWK, probably Windows guys that consider "Visual Basic" a better beginners language: shudder!
Right now I'm playing with https://github.com/hoijui/Jawk... trying to get 2 more patterns into it: BOF and EOF similar to BEGIN/END but called at "begin of file" and "end of file" and some filter options like stripping html/xml tags from the input.
It is actually beyond me why no developer ever considered to add BOF/EOF to xAWK as if you google for it, the question how to recognize that AWK switched to reading from a different file is asked thousands of times. And the solution is a pain in the ass;D
What is inconvenient in AWK regarding math? It has a full set of build in functions like sin(), atan() and the rest is just standard formulas like in any other language:
x = y + 2; y = z * 4;// nothing particular complicated here
The problem with the still surviving SuperCard and the other similar products is: they use as programming language a HyperTalk "clone"... and I would like to have a "real programming language".
The next thing is, as in LiveCoder, as soon as you have shipped the Stack, users can't "program" it anymore, at least not on iOS or Android, which completely spoils the point of having "a Stack".
But perhaps I buy SuperCard for nostalgic reasons:D
Some bold statement like that needs an explanation. Windows: a computer you barely can use in daily work? Mac sucks! Why? I don't see a real difference between Linux and OS X except for standard apps like mail and the general UI.

No, we ate not way down in efficiency if we charge batteries. Why would we?
Obviously burning ethanol in planes, cars an boats makes sense. That was not the point of my post, however.

That is nonsense. Like in any other country taxes on wages are deduced before payout and transferred to the government at wage payout. And usually you get deduced more than you actually own them, so you have an incentive to make a tax declaration to get the to much payed tax back.
That is wrong.
They get less done.
The rest are currency conversion errors and mountain high differences in financial markets etc.

Come to Europe.
In most countries minimum vacation per year is by law 30 days. And no, you can not be forced by contract to give up days on that.
Most countries have free or partly public funded kinder gardens etc. public transport for school kids low crime rates. Chances are you never meet one who ever witnessed or suffered from a crime.

Because you don't know the difference either, so perhaps it would make sense to listen?

You mean american pounds? :) JFYI.
The german pound is exactly 500gram, aka 0.5kg
When have you been last time in China?
Except for Somalia and Sudan, 3rd world countries don't exist anymore (since 20 years).
And the problems in those countries are political and not a farming/water/harvest/food problem.
However your tag regarding GMO is right.
That is a very silly post, phantomfive. Patent numbers are usually not published in newspapers. And ordinary people don't know how to "google" for them.

Funnily Hormesis seems to be the science that supports Homeopathy.
Strange that you know about the former and neglect the later.
I suggest to google a bit to find all the research papers that support Homeopathy.
E.g. in Germany all bills regarding it are payed by health insurance, go figure.
Yes you are, but I'm not :D
Being an idiot is a mind and knowledge problem, being an asshole is a character problem.
If you were not an idiot you knew that.
No, I don't apologize.
You are an idiot.

http://www.zeit.de/politik/aus...
OTOH we have numbers like this, same magazine :D
http://www.zeit.de/politik/deu...
Which support your claim but subtract the emigrations ...
Anyway. If every year 1 or 2 million would immigrate we had not a stable 80M population but would gain 7 - 10M over a decade: which we don't.
Homeopathy works in many cases.
And the question if it works or not is not the point. The point is that you are fabulating properties into Homeopathy that are not there. Because you don't know the actual concepts/ideas behind it. Plain and simple.
