okay, thanks

didn't you post on the 'dex a few years ago? (just curious, seen a similar username in some older threads)

As a French, I think I've as much "China/SE Asia is overfishing" as "Europe is overfishing". But usually it turns political very quick, since the region supported by the fishing industry don't have many other economical prospects.

Yes, they are paying software creators to add a chrome install in the installer, usually with a checkbox that's enabled by default. I remember the creator of VLC saying that refusing Google's offer was the hardest decision he's taken, so the money offered must be good.

Yeah, it's the same thing for me.

Even in France, with paying interstate (called autoroute here) and subsidized rail (it was a state monopole until recently), most of transport of goods is by truck.

I think it's mostly a last mile problem (you'll need big trucks to carry from the station), compounded by the fact that most of the train station of cities and I don't think they is a lot of dedicated cargo train station. Also you do not control part of the schedule: you are dependent on the departure/arrival time of trains. And don't forget the strikes...

Where did you get the numbers for France? I though that it not possible to do any ethnic census there? Perhaps it could have been done by asking for countries of birth for the parents/grandparents.

Also when you are saying colonies, is it the former colonies (North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Ex-Indochina) or the current overseas departments (in the Carribean, Guiana in South America and in the Indian Ocean)?

I had a discussion with a French medical student concerning organ donation. She said that the type of death where organs can be donated (cerebral death if I remember right) is very uncommon (compared to cardiac arrest) so we did not have to worry about it (or needed to opt-out). In addition, like in the Austrian example, the relatives are consulted for their assent.

Or the superstition that the organ will be harvested while you are still alive.

I just liked the various graphs used in the article, so I wanted to share that.

As for the rest of the site or the thread discussing the result, I don't think you'll miss much by not wading further.

I wonder if this submission would have gone to the front page if I had added game (or [game]) in the title as I first intended when posting it...
