"Rent control" is the idea that people already living in a city have more rights to live there than people who are not. While it may sound socially just it is also one of most un-progressive (conservative) things you can imagine.

Did they try to conquer wider lands here? Does it count as an aggressive war? If it does not, why would one care that much?

You are thinking that Napoleon is a phenomenon on NK instead of being a phenomenon of France. This is based on some loud noises coming from the direction of NK and relative silence from French side. This is baseless. France have access to I

France has a long history of invading all kinds of countries, including European ones (think Napoleonic 1812). They're not hesitating to do that today when we consider Africa. Neither South nor North Korea has either commitment or capa

I like how Europe (and USA to some extent) destroyed their forests and biodiversity long ago, and now are pushing other, poorer societies to preserve biodiversity for the whole world while staying poor. If you're so concerned about for

There were never any other plan. Leo Trotsky, for example, wrote that Soviet state should exploit its workers to attain its socialist goals, with hopes that at some point things would go sufficiently well that they will no longer feel explo

No way you could buy an imported car, for starters. You had to be a Vysotsky to pull that off.

When I try to run a random .Net exe file with dotnet core it will complain about libhostpolicy.so dependency missing. I understand that it is not supposed to run .exe files (no idea why, okay), but overall it sounds like awful usability.

Then, truly, you live to benefit some other people's children. Basically you are a monk. Monks also known for not making the difference in all that removing sin business.

Most countries actually did. Should you only send this message to societies which did not? Caution: Will be very un-PC.

Do squirrels worth very much without humans to observe them? To whom? They will be dead anyway in a few years, and their species also in a few MYr. Do you value their continuity more than our own? Last time I checked, a lot of planets in

Yes, your children don't get to live to benefit some other people's children. That, or we end as species. Guess what? Worst case of global warming, mankind extermination. "Best" case, also mankind extermination.

The problem here is that * There's no paid quality content that you can use instead. * Even if there is, you can't find it. Googe Play will shove pages after pages of "popular" useless toxic crap.

We should take their genes responsible for that, put it in our future embryos. Essentially turning "genetic lottery" into "genetic basic income".

Is not it obvious? When you tell you do software in Perugia you sound important, when you tell the same in London you basically say you're a nobody. I would gladly move to Italy with its amazing culture. I would not move to a place s

For a software engineering campus this is relevant how? E.g. in Poland software is more Krakow based than Warsaw. Because why would you be wasting on rent, being in a large city where you aren't that important?

Of all places in Spain Madrid is probably the "meh"est. Not wanting to be snark but the selection process seems strange indeed.

I don't understand why it will be harder to attract software developers to Italy versus Poland. Weather and environment are much nicer and if this job ends you just move elsewhere. I would easily move to a cheap locale even if tech sce

Why not build in e.g. Leipzig or other beautiful but jobs-starved city? Come to think of it, why no campuses in Italy or Spain? Those countries have kinda lowish expenses, good weather and people will pay a premium to be able to move there.

Yes it is correct. They have no business asking this. If a question is incorrect, you can answer whatever you like to it. Lying is only giving wrong answers on correct questions. If a person sticks their nose where it does not belong, too
