So it's okay if the US monitors and intercepts global communications. But it's bad if China does it?

Trains are amazing when they are built for people to take. Unfortunately, trains in the US were built for industrial transport. Trains for people have a few cars and go really fast. Trains for cargo have hundreds of cars and go really slow.

It's amazing really. My other half's family is Greek and it took me years to get the hang of some of their simplest recipes. The whole time they were saying "It's only olive oil and salt! What can be so difficult?"&

Renting is much cheaper in Montreal than similar sized Canadian and American cities. Obviously you cannot compare to cities like NYC or SF directly.

Some rent control schemes keep all rents low. In Montreal, the government limits all rent increases to 1% per year. Even between tenants.

I live in a city with rent control and it's great. New York's rent control model is broken no doubt but look no further than Montreal for a better example. The difference is that all rent prices are subject to a maximum increase o

After a few days of configuring ProseMirror I was nowhere close to having a usable editor. It's not for the feint of heart.

That's fundamentally not how identification on the Internet works. You are whoever you say you are. It's absurd to tie identity to a physical person.

This is pretty much the only reproducible solution. Investing in personal brand and networking can bring in remote contracts. Remote still consumes all your energy but it avoids a lot of the unpleasantness of being on contract.

Not really. Code needs to solidify before you document it. Documentation is best saved for after a major release.

In nature, they are far more likely to end up as prey than to live a long happy life. Street cats live to the age of 5 on average. House cats live until 13. Freedom is a fantasy.

People like credit. The threat of losing it is more than enough reason to avoid bankruptcy.

Unfortunately too many people think this unironically. Looks like everyone is down voting you because you are exposing their core values.

I don’t buy your reasoning. Intel has had their Celeron line for decades and it is widely understood to be their value line.

The issue at hand is the faulty Windows security model. Users have been trained to give full admin rights to anything that asks.

It is easier to taste the fruit of globalization and interact with a larger slice of society by living in the city. Status plays a part but is not the primary driver behind satisfaction from urban life.

You most definitely can separate the fashionable, and status-seeking aspects out from urban culture. I live in Canada. The traditional cuisine is bland, and fresh produce grows only a few months of the year. I see my love of sushi as a prod
