"Left side" and "right side" is unambiguous, because there is one given direction (forward). It is the same as "left bank" and "right bank" of a river (it is always looking downstream).
For example, Slavic languages usually just use some sort of "left side" and "right side".
Kvass is very uncommon in Slovakia or Czechia (it's only known as Ukrainian or Russian drink, one can buy it it shops with UA and RU products, which are oriented mainly on UA and RU expats)
There was even a hackathon on Prague (Czechia) - Kosice (Slovakia) train a few years back. It's quite easy (but not very common, for sure) and not so expensive to rent a car or a whole train in CZ (from the train companies). There are also some historical trains for rent (run by enthusiasts, usually).
I was looking once (about a year or two ago) on Czech (EU member state) government websites and about 90% of them were using something from Google, usually Analytics. But some of them required even Captcha (so no way to access it without being vetted by Google, an US company).
Being from Europe: Many more tourists from Asia, beginning of touristic boom from Africa. Many Europeans (and Americans) will be priced out from vacations they can enjoy now.
$125 for ISBN seems like a ripoff to me - the ISBN are given for free where I come from: the Czech Republic; and the system is administered by the National Library
I'm from central-eastern Europe and I feel the same. I've spent a few years in Latin America and I'd call both the regions "new" or "satellite" or "not-core" West. Germany or the US may be the original core West, but LatAm and CEEurope are West, too.
Whether to include also Russia, that would be my question.
I use postgrest for several projects. I have an issue with crashing occasionally (once in months) for no obvious reason (to me). I solved it by continously checking the status and automatically restarting it if it's down. Otherwise great.
It depends very much on context, doesn't it? There are probably not many social circles suspending you for photos like this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phan_Thi_Kim_Phuc (or those in the OP's article)
"The algorithm" should never be an excuse. There are many real people on many levels of responsibility behind "the algorithm".
Facebook restored it only because the story gained a traction (it is even on HN, right?). What is the rate between restored and not-restored in such cases if the story is not as prominent as this one?
We (very very small EU NGO) do it. I run an emailing of dozens of thousands emails about once a year - before some elections, we prepare some pre-election tools for people. I use simple php for that, so the setting is actually quite bad with regards to spamfiltering. But we get several percents response rate - people coming to our website and using the tools - the very day I send it, which is very good (and more people later), most of businesses would really like to achieve that, imho.
Using DuckDuckGo is fine for let say 98% of my searches (most of them probably IT related). For the rest, I go to Google or Bing or others. Is there Britannica on flash drives? I should add it to those 2%.
Talking from experience from a "new" EU country with solid IT scene: the "cookie law" is not enforced at all. Google would be probably the only one theoretically enforcing it (most of websites do show a message because they use Google Analytics), but it would go against Google's interest, so they are not really enforcing it either.
There are apps - e.g., "Mushrooms app" for Android. It is probably targeted mainly on (central/eastern) Europe, it is the region where mushrooms picking is pretty common. There are a few others, too.
