   Yes, sorry for your problem but no-shows automatically invalidate everything else. If you decide to cancel part of a trip due to unexpected events, train strikes or whatever that is not directly under control of the airline itself you must

   I am in Barcelona, right now (I arrived on Saturday 26th). The official causes - at least for now - are "extreme temperature variations in Central Spain". Barcelona is not very Central, but weather here was perfectly normal so I&#

   Personally I really miss Google+. Maybe it was not a perfect fit for what you are describing, but it sure was the best fit for my own interests and use cases.

   Key word: "conveniently". I can now (probably, not sure if this exists) don my Apple VR set and walk around Machu Picchu or the Sistine Chapel. But this would be a vicar experience. Just like reading lots of Wikipedia pages on, I

    Ok, fine. We are in full agreement here. But then the post claims that "everything is a synchronization problem" seems should be qualified better. Also, most of the comments before mine seemed to be in full agreement that yeah, fu

    Maybe I am just dumb but I really cannot see how data synch could solve what (in my kind of business) is a real problem. Example: you develop a web app to book for flights online. My browser points to it and I login. Should synchronization

    In my current job ... I write design documents that must be approved (in writing) by Key Users in two different companies. Followed by test cases signature and then by user acceptance test documents. This style could never work for me: &quo

    Something similar was also discussed by Borges, who quipped "each new author creates their own precursors". You can check this apparently paradoxical idea here: https://gwern.net/doc/borges/1951-borges-ka

    I live in Germany since 2014 and yes, I had ample example of both super-strict and fairly relaxed attitude about these cases.

    Thank you! Btw, I notice only now that the link that was supposed to explain my question better is completely wrong. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42589014 (But you still provided much needed clarification).

    My native language is Italian, which also changes suffixes based on number and gender. (And I live in Germany since 2014 to boot) I really think you are trying to draw conclusions about something that happens when learning most if not every
