Readability is not a characteristic of Go code. People are either confusing readability with lack of features or too biased by what they have been working on.

Haha this must be ironic or Stockholm syndrome. With duck typing and channels, missing basic modern language constructions... it is definitely not known for readability.

Also whoever came with this ridiculous analogy probably goes to a restaurant and then eats there their every meal for the next 2 or 3 years, thinks restaurants have popular multi billion marketplaces of silverware where they charge 30% to p

From what I have seen this is true. Just check Antifa discussion page or the page on classical liberalism. The left wing bias is quite clear and it will probably only grow with the increase in the number militant left wing online warriors a

Nobody cares about what young people think now either. We are talking about a very small subset of model-like stylish youngsters (mostly women). 99.99% continue to be ignored as usual.

That might contribute to a diversity of perspectives but I wonder what would be the consequences for society when everyone needs to reconcile their online appearance with their real world appearance.

Java is a great language. It keeps evolving at good pace, increasing dev productivity and adapting to modern patterns, while keeping a clear syntax, scalable VM, relatively fast compiler, in a mature ecosystem. It might be at the healthiest

Everyone also saw hundreds of professional players getting positive tests, being asymptomatic and continuing to play at the highest level. I am all in favour of the vaccine (and will take it asap) but the most pathetic thing here is thinkin

If they are distinguishing between pairs with different categories then they just need one of the paid to be easily categorised to know the category of the other. How do they control for this?

It kind of does. In case you haven't noticed yet, the guys that create and enforce laws have a lot of power. Power that can be used against bitcoin if they want for example.

Paper money is already obsolete in many countries. They didn't need any cryptocurrency.

Exactly. This idea of tech barrier is massively overstated. We see people adapt to new tech all the time. The bigger issues are network effects, inertia/lazyness. Alternatives to the status quo are expected to be 10x better to justify

The original name of the bridge was "Ponte Salazar". Salazar was the dictator that was leading the country when the bridge was built (60s). After the revolution, the government changed the name to "Ponte 25 de Abril" (da

I am Portuguese and currently live in the UK, and have lived in the Netherlands and Sweden too. My brother has lived in Belgium. Housing in Portugal compared to any of these -> not shit. I am sorry you have such a bad experience in Portu

I have lived in Stockholm too. I was paying a fortune for a 27sq meter studio in Vasastan. Again, comparatively housing in Portugal is not shit by any measure. You just need to pay for it.

I am also Portuguese, have lived in 3 other European countries (all of them economically richer) and am still living abroad. If I compare the housing quality of all these countries I disagree Portugal is worse. I can easily find much worse

Ah so you expect housing prices to continue to grow above income forever? Maybe in the future a single house can cost more than the entire country's GDP or something like that right? House prices only go up!

Interesting that you say it is all about confidence and self love but yet you felt the need to shave it off. If it is so relative why didn't you leave it as it is instead of trying to hide the problem with a complete shave? I find that

Isn't there really any service that lets you buy and use USD, EUR, GBP... online? And if not, would you still continue to buy crypto if one of these currencies was available?

I think people don't really agree it has that much value. People want to get rich quickly. They always have done that and continue to do so. Casinos and lotteries are older than bitcoin. The idea that BTC goes above 50k USD because mil

Who cares if it allowed the US to prosper? Freedom of speech is not about economic output but a value system. This utilitarian moral relativism might make sense in China but it is not part of modern Western culture. It was a civilisational
