I'd hope so too, but honestly they have lost a lot since 2013, and not just votes. Also actual political goals. And while the hopes for political seriousness and organisation quality are increasing, the actual implementation seems to s

I don't compare them with the KPD. I just say they are Socialist. And they say so themselves.

Yes, in Germany left means Socialist, right means Fascist, and the differentiation between conservatism and progressiveness is actually something you can find in each of the corners. I also believe that Germany is not the only country like

Yes, also hard to express for me. Die Linke of course is not just social, but really socialist, as in pre-communist. The SPD itself also started out as the socialist-like-communist party in its very early days. Then it became a social-but-n

A few points from a German: It is not true that the Left is more liberal. They are more socialist, which is simply not listed in these article's diagrams. A strong socialist pariticipation in Germany results from a huge part of it bein

Had a hard time not to downvote this post. Yes, it is. But just use systemd and you'll see that it's actually quite good.

The thing is it only needs one small problem that you are not able to cover and you're out. A few are lucky and make it for a long time, most aren't. The true sucess comes from being able to handle such kind of problems not from n

If you have a specific system at hand you can say if it contains IoT or not because in the sum all IoT systems have some commonalities. But you cannot build a platform for it because the parts are so very different. The most common thing is

How? I can't install plugins into my Chrome on iPhone 6s. And you can't switch the default browser so it only helps in 30 % of the cases (when you are not inside Facebook/Twitter/etc and when you are not clicking a link

This may actually explain why watching videos in the browser sometimes causes the computer to heat up comparably to a new AAA gaming title.

funny just watched this yesterday night. Was really surprised by it. When you live in Berlin it's not something you see that yet. But of course Berlin is a more green city than something of the size of New York just by being smaller.

Or it makes sense to change the American measurements. Btw I'm not native English and I use English to write this comment despite being born in this non-English country, being grown with my native language, and still being in this coun

Many comments say it as yours. After reading them I have to agree. I spend most of my time in areas with highly developed public transport. I assumed in the US at least taxis would offer a similar level of flexibility, but apparently not.

I think there is some truth behind it. Yes, profitability doesn't directly increase with number of employees, but having many has other advantages. For instance you can drive bigger bargains, you can take on bigger customers, you can g

I can accept that there are different levels of growth and at each of them there can be trouble. But it's not just one level. You can just as well stumble at 5 employees (I experienced that), at 17 employees (experienced that) or at 80

With "driving demand" you don't mean "creating demand" but "directing demand to my business instead of the competitors", right? Because it sounds a little like you want to say "creating demand",

I like your way to define it better, because it also provides an inherent way of avoiding (more, probably not all) scams. Don't buy stuff for the sole purpose of hoping for profit. Things you buy need to have intrinsic value. The least

Just to provide more options to the discussion and because nobody has mentioned it: Have you considered that all ICOs are a scam of some sort? Or that you can participate in scams and still end up being a winner? To get the noodle baking ab

Have you done any profitability analysis on these? When I checked in 2015 you were losing about 20 ct on each dollar you invested. To summarize the probably resulting discussion of this question: The profit is probably in doing ICOs and off

The sad thing about growing up is that most of the magic unicorns die. Yes, it is a nice story, but if it is not the 1 in a million exceptional story it's probably one of the five big players behind this company. And if they really are
