I think you need both. You need the uncompromising Bernies, to act as visionaries and point out what the future should be. And, you also need the unprincipled politicians who can compromise, and adapt, and win elections. If Bernie had run i

I doubt that, by consistently saying the same thing, anyone can be right for 24 years. The world changes; what is right 24 years ago may not be right today, and vice versa.

A really nice thing about it is that you have the same top-notch IDE support as JVM-based Scala. That is what I find lacking when I want to try other compile-to-JS functional languages (with the exception of ClojureScript, which also has ex

The source is the license agreement for macOS. It explicitly says that the software is licensed to run on Apple branded computers. If you run it elsewhere you are running it unlicensed. Can you also provide a source? Would your acquaintance

If you are a professional app developer (you make a living out of it) then Hackintosh is a bad alternative. It can get your developer account, and apps, banned by Apple. On top of that, you can get sued.

In theory, you have to "declare" the phone at the Customs Office when you leave Buenos Aires so that you can enter it back. They give you some kind of evidence that you can present when returning. Since I have never done it, I don

You are right. "In Utah, a candidate who fails to vote as required is considered to have resigned, and a replacement is appointed."

He can negotiate before the EC meets. There is no obligation for his electors to vote for him.

Well, imagine he wins Utah, and his electoral college votes are what Hillary or Trump need to become president: the guy could negotiate anything with either. Secretary of State? You got it.

His intentions don't necessarily have to be short term. If he performs well in this election, that could be a solid launch for another kind of candidacy (senator, governor, secretary of something, party leadership, etc.)

My point was that it is not unreasonable to assume same credit card + same hardware = same developer, not that it is an infallible method. Apple offered some flexibility, to account for the remote possibility of an unfortunate misunderstand

This whole thing has taught me a lesson. I initially sided with the weaker side because I own a copy of Dash, and it is great software, and because one tends to side with the underdog. After listening to the recording of the conversation, m

There is no question that there was religious opposition to Galileo within the Catholic church. However, it was not unanimous, and there were some notable exceptions. José de Calasanz (saint), the founder of the Piarist order, was a friend

A reason it won't make a big difference is that she is ranked 98th in the world, so the impact of her not going won't be the same as if Judit Polgar (who, according to the article, is OK with the headscarf rules), or any of the to

I think this could be a great complement to Scala-native. Right now, the project contributors have to spend effort translating the essential Java libraries that would allow Scala-native to be successful. This could really ease that job for

It may be true, but infrastructure has nothing to do with work ethics.

My source says 38 hours. My point is that saying that "Southern ones are more carefree and want to relax" is false and prejudiced.

Of course there are cultural differences, but this has nothing to do with "work behavior". The average work hours in the US, for example, is 34.4 hours/week.

The Spanish siesta is a break in the middle of the day because of the high heat. Spanish workers are the ones who, in average, work the longest hours in Europe (38 hours/week) after the Greek (42 h/w) and the Portuguese (39.3 h&#x

That is what Estonia does. Corporate income tax is 0%. They tax companies, on a flat rate, on the dividends paid out. This encourages reinvestment and growth.

Argentina did something similar in the 90s. Not with precious metals, but with a strong currency (the dollar). It did stop inflation, but, after a decade, it had to be abandoned, because it was too restrictive. Of course, if politicians wou

Following Betteridge's Law of Headlines ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... ), the answer has to be "no".

"The best" is subjective. I have played around with libui ( https://github.com/andlabs/libui ), which runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS. A nice thing about it is that it is written in C, and therefore has bindi

Well, if being homeless in the US is such a privilege, then I must concede that income inequality must not be such a bad thing after all.

Every year, 3.5 million people in the US experience homelessness.

Truck driver is the most common profession in most states. Self-driving trucks will make their jobs obsolete overnight. Imagine the immediate effect of all those people being without a job. What will happen to retail when those truckers buy

Rather than start a dialectic, let's consider concrete examples: is there any society with a large income inequality that also has a world-class standard of living for all of its members?

When self-drivers become the norm, taxi and truck drivers, and their families (a significant section of the economy) will be the first to suffer, but it will not end there. The knock-on recessive effect on every other sector of the economy
