   I guess it depends on where you live, and if you have regular reasons to come to the US. I live in Europe and have visited the US maybe three times in my life, and I wouldn't necessarily be terribly sad if I could never visit again. So

   That's categorically untrue. Almost all websites are first developed by a developer on his local machine, and then when it's ready to showcase or put online, it will move to the 'real' domain. It is no different for Word

   What you're advocating, without realizing it, is a two-tier society where rich people get all the good things, and poor people have to make do with the leftovers. In my opinion, that's a terrible way to run a society. I believe it

   Depends on how much bandwidth it needs. I've been video conferencing a lot (who didn't, this past year) and even with people on the other side of the globe I don't recall latency ever being a problem.

   I think that using a Google Font means that Google sets a third-party cookie for each visitor. If you need to conform to the GDPR, this probably means that you need to request visitor permission before you load the font.

    Small change. I'm sure Google will just write it off as "the cost of doing business".

    All these interesting theoretical arguments while people are dying in droves... India was EXPORTING vaccine to the UK until not so very long ago. Maybe they don't have the capacity to produce the mRNA vaccines, but they most certainly

    I don't remember which country it was. I think it was an African country, but I'm not sure. I did find an article [1] about the (failed) eradication of the Aedes aegypti mosquito in Brazil, that contains the following quote: >

    My wife did her PhD on mosquitos and malaria. She's been ranting about genetically modified mosquitos for as long as I know her, claiming it cannot and never will work, mainly because mosquitos have an insane amount of offspring and

    I want smaller teams and leagues to actually compete for the big prizes again, like they were able to in the 90s and 80s (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_Cup_and_UEFA_... ) The hegemony of big money i

    WordPress is about as old as Netscape Navigator. Am I judging JavaScript based on the hot mess it was in these days? Using WordPress as an example for the state of PHP is disingenuous.

    Don't you think Europe is supply-constrained? What about India/Russia/China? If these countries didn't export, Israel wouldn't have any vaccine, Australia wouldn't have any vaccine, Canada wouldn't have an

    What would also help is if the UK and the US would export vaccine to other countries, like the rest of the world does. Sharing is caring? EDIT: https://www.statista.com/chart/24555/vaccine-doses-produced-...

    I'm sorry, I'm a senior developer in Berlin and I've never seen job openings that average 135k - 180k. Can you send me an example? Because if that's the actual range these days I might consider giving up freelancing.
