Rossmann seems to have misunderstood what a strike is. A strike is always between two parties that depend on each other. "Leaving forever" is the only thing that won't send a message. If you're truly gone forever, Reddit

As legendary as it is overstated. It's excellent for many common software, but for most specialty software, it's often lacking. Despite all the decades of cruft still supported by current Windows, especially 32 bit editions, there

It's not a fake. It's just misattributed to Grace Hopper. As for the claim that it's the origin of the word bug, that's just the typical exaggeration that befalls many stories. Memetic mutation turns everything into a st

More than that: not only is it possible to find examples of two "legal rights" making a "wrong", it's impossible to find an atomic legal wrong. Everything can be broken down so far that you are left with actions tha

This isn't even the mistake. Price has very little relation to costs - except that most products can't be sold below cost, at least not for long. The price of the iphone is a good example. All the costs that you name exist, but

It is. I guess people just don't know that that it's just as illegal, or feel it's less objectionable than paying bribes directly. Or they speculate that it's harder to prove.

Not much, but the word "basic" does some heavy lifting there. Even with just http(s), what you describe is just a tiny fraction of typical use cases, even if you ignore all the rarely used bits.

Maybe don't begin with the assumption that everyone that has a different opinion must be an idiot. And then continue with gathering facts - like the fact that every receipt must by the same law indicate exactly how much VAT is included

You misunderstand what's supposed to happen. Potassium bromate is a strong oxidizing agent. Pyrolysis is completely irrelevant here. I don't know if potassium bromate should be used as a food additive but your comment in its safet

Google and Firefox made the change roughly at the same time -- because there was a lot of evidence that EV indicators simply don't work. Users don't pay attention to them, and even if they did, the idea that company names are uniq

Is there any reason to assume any shared structure for unrelated languages though? Written language is just an encoding for information. There is a good candidate for a test. Someone will probably already work on it. Minoan as written in Li

I think this illustrates well how we have to be careful with our arguments around quack medicine. The problem with "works for me" is not that that argument is invalid in and of itself. The problem is that homeopaths don't act
