Your last idea there seems like it’s totally missing the point of these oji-san cards. It’s about connecting people to each other and forming community, not about scarcity, value or any other economic term.

Even very dense rain clouds look perfectly white from above. They all reflect light back into space.

Oracle are not a very big deal in healthcare in Europe, as I’ve understood it. They arr trying to sell here, but it’s tough when your product is from the 90’s and doesn’t fit European single-payer healthcare systems very well.

A vendor that has to write a news item on their front page that their product is not dead? Maybe not the most attractive look.

Google’s Froogle was a bit like this. Obviously they had to cancel it.

And tariffs on intellectual property licenses are not on the table right now, as far as I’m aware. Right?

He did! So he reached his goal. He was certainly a “doer”. His theories met fierce criticism from academics though.

Thor Heyerdahl famously believed that America was colonized from the east. He built a papyrus boat and crossed the Atlantic from Morocco to prove it was possible. It was not the first time he was wrong.

I don’t know if you’ve read about it but apparently if a trans woman has “F” in her passport and a border agent determines that she was previously a man, that’s now considered fraudulent and grounds for detention and deportation.

Overstaying a visa in any other (developed) country does not result in this kind of detention. These people are not even being given due process. I’m sure each of them is detained for some mistake in their paperwork, but some of these stori

"All are welcome here." -- Ha. Ha. Ha. The US has never had an open border policy, and pretending they had is beyond disingenuous. You're just trolling at this point.

"compensatory actions", is that how you refer to Trump's executive order regarding gender identity? As if it was "provoked" by something? Do you know there is a word for someone who is "provoked" by others

It's torture even if applied to guilty people. But your point is valid, it's just "how to treat prisoners". Having no privacy on the toilet as a default is dehumanizing in itself but may not be torture, but sleep depriva

You could make the exact same argument about his mention of SSRIs. "Oh, he just means all the people without depression, who are abusing SSRIs." No, you're being intentionally disingenuous here. Obviously, he dislikes the f

Yeah, I've seen that. It's been well documented that they are slipping into authoritarianism, nationalism and even a dictatorship. Free speech is not really in place anymore. I was just not very well informed about how civil liber

If you’re saying that being able to legally bring cannabis into a country is a test for whether the IETF can host their meetings there… I don’t know if that is accurate. Sure, Singapore has draconian laws when it comes to narcotics. But sur

As far a I know, all of the listed countries are reasonably safe to travel to. I’ve not heard any stories of arbitrary detention from any of them, which is what this article is (mostly) about. Trans people might not enjoy Slovakia or Hungar

Ah, you’re right. The linked article doesn’t say, but apparently a Schengen Visa is “for short-term purposes, such as tourism or business trips. Work permits are apparently not counted in these numbers, then. As to whether they are conformi

At least they don’t issue you a visa and then arbitrarily detain you at the border. Obtaining a work visa in a particular country is not a human right, and their issuance are up to the hosting country’s policies.

I was certainly not going for an agressive tone. I'm trying to say that police all over the world will want to know whom they are talking to, especially if you're a suspect. I don't think it's a world of difference betwe

Gerrit is great if your team is willing to work in a rebase based workflow! We handled huge repos on Gerrit (and a huge number of them) at my previous employer with very few problems. It does take a certain effort to self-host it, but then

Are you insinuating that if you're in the US, you could refuse to show your ID to a police officer when they ask for it? Go ahead and try that, tell us how it goes... (No, there is no requirement to be carrying your ID card in any EU c

I'll just state for the record that these particular use cases make up something like 90% of what my employer uses Office 365 for, and it's absolutely impossible to do our business without it right now. If we had to solve document

I think cracking had at least two reasons. 1. There was a lot of exotic copy protection going on, especially on disk. Putting data in sectors that could not be written by the standard disk copying methods was just the beginning. I don’t kno

That doesn’t sound like OCD at all to me. It sounds like you have a personality that values order and control over details. Annoying perhaps, but normal. If it’s getting to the point where it impedes your social life, you could see a psychi

The author was apparently not interested in that hypothesis. Why don’t you do a little self-experiment, now that a method has been laid out? (Personally, I think the existing literature by itself should be more than enough to convince anyon

I nearly stepped in human feces in the street in Cologne. Happened to walk down the wrong alley which the homeless were using as a toilet. I’m sure someone came along later to clean up but this was early morning. My point is let’s not prete

I don’t know of any place (including Finland) that would consider people without a residence permit to be eligible for “housing first”. It is a fairly simple filter to implement, and should solve your problem.
