Any journalist is obtaining a benefit from publishing articles, they are paid for it. That means any whistleblower information that is published by a journalist is sending the journalist to prison, according to that law. That is BAD.

Just a clarification: it is not "the law according to the supreme court" because there is no law about it; it is something SCOTUS invented about 40 years ago out of thin air.

It is a bit amazing that people that do very bad things and cause huge prejudice that will never be fixed can get away very easy. 15 years is nothing to joke about, but if you do the math of how much money per year that means, it is better

So she had 20 years to have a child and she decided to have it at the very last moment, when she was waiting for a sentence for very bad things she did? Realistically this stinks.

As the author showed the volume of business and revenue in Germany is tiny, there may be not worth the effort for Shopify to do it. It may be the correct business decision. The differences in laws and requirements by country is one of the b

If I understand correctly Saunders vs UK, if you killed someone and hide the body you have to show the body when you are asked to, even if you are just suspected and not confessed. The phone and the body is the parallel here, they suspect t

Not quite; an iPhone costs more in Prague, a Tesla much more, a laptop can be double the price. You don't purchase lots of iPhones, but the global goods generally have higher prices in Europe than EU, partly due to VAT, partly due to m

A simple ruler is enough. I am wearing glasses for 30 years and I had the few pairs with wrong PD, the next optometrist used a simple ruler and I am working with him for the past 20 years.

I like the idea of doing what you love. As long as you can live like that, it is the best thing for a person. The only caveat: at 20 years old is not difficult at all to have a relation with potential to transform into a (happy) marriage. H

You want to put it in the pocket and be able to move freely after that. It worked for me with Nokia 3310, it does not work the same with any modern phone.

If you use a platform just for that, it seems fine. The problem is when you use multiple platforms under the excuse that you need to keep up with family. The problem is the distractions that the platform is pushing to you, making you waste

You are describing an experience closed to the old forums of early 2000. I am still an active member of such a forum, we are less than 50 active people that interact for almost 20 years, we meet face to face quite rarely because we live now

While this is a good idea and we did something similar in my company, the only concern is the slippery slope of extending markdown. It is just a matter of time reaching this: https://xkcd.com/927/ .

They do, it is the only reason very large companies survive: they live on economy of scale and die of corporate ice age (get large, bureaucratic, slow until freezing). Scale and inertia.

I saw personally some of these happening; while not working for HP, I was working with HP and GE and around the same time my employer divested part of the business. The reason, in all cases? the companies had very different business divisio

Our small department of ~20 people had a few book shelves with stuff like Clipper, Turbo Pascal, FoxPro, Novel etc. They were used very frequently.

It was a lot easier; practically, extremely simple. 1. Processes: in smaller companies there was very little paperwork/red tape. You got the requirements, do the design, have a review, start coding, test, deploy. In most cases I'v

Just because people are so used to kilometers and for many people the conversion is too difficult. You overestimate the intelligence and education of average adults and I am dead serious about this, I did studied this a bit.

Maybe greek olive oil is the most famous, but not the best; I don't think there is an official competition or comparison. A decade ago a friend of my mother that had a small olive farm in Jordan used to send us a couple of 5 liter cans
