With vouchers and food stamps, you're effectively prescribing how the basic income is supposed to be spent. But that totally misses the point of a basic income. You get money, you spend it as you see fit. Where some people will pay the

Nobody claims that they know better than everybody else, that's just your words, which you then contradict without the slightest bit of evidence. Truth is, the Go developera have a proven track record over several decades, and that giv

The funny thing is, if you're not being an asshole to people, and stay on-topic, you will never have any problem with the CoC. Keeping out the wrong kind of crowd from the start actually sounds like a better idea than (in the worst cas

I wrote an extension to gb (the go build tool released by Dave Cheney) that uses gb's functionality to determine the $GOPATH where it operates, plus an alias gbpath="eval `gb gopath`", so a simple gbpath sets the right $GOPAT

The monopoly on power that the sovereign grants to the executive branch is still meant to be within the limits of that grant. This is obviously not the case anymore. The sovereign has lost oversight over the executive branch's actions.

I don't know how current this information is, but the few times I used Uber, I got regular taxis. That was in Berlin a few months ago. So at least during that time, Uber was yet another taxi app, with no USP at all.

They were enterprise models (i.e. not cheap), but they had no warranty in the first place. Every single hardware supplier simply refused to give any. I _guess_ because of the expected wear and tear.
