>Using the US dollar in trade is simply a matter of convenience Nonsense. The US dollar is the worlds reserve currency, enforced at the tip of the US military spear, and any nations which try to change that promptly get bombed into obli

America has plundered those nations by enforcing the use of the US dollar in their trades, and demolishing any sovereign nation that suggests otherwise. That's soft imperialism, yo.

Yeah, I think you probably are not paying attention to the real figures: https://www.psr.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/body-count.pd...

They didn't know for sure until they'd tested it in the real world. That's the point of the hubris.

The point is not whether it could have, or not. Its whether they knew it wouldn't. And in fact, they didn't know it wouldn't ignite the atmosphere - there was a chance it might and they went ahead anyway. It was a calculate

In fact, isn't the point that the 'ideation' of mental illness as a chemical process seems to further the process somewhat, and therefore some degree of refactoring needs to be done of the language used so that we 'un-kn

Literally, none of the above in my case. I don't use iCloud, no purchased music or videos, and 'brew' is my app-store. I could switch to Linux in a heartbeat, and probably will, with my next hardware upgrade. But in the me

Because I keep using their stuff, quite proactively, and productively, and when it breaks and its Apples fault, I can go back to them and get a new one, no questions asked, and get back on with using the thing.

Over 40 years as a professional I have worked in tech companies in countries around the world, including Germany and Japan, and now in Austria - where the reduced work week is not only a cultural norm, but rather supported by the bureaucra

Why kill it? Why not just re-value it instead? For example, make its value $1000. Would maybe be a neat solution to the 1% problem.

Musical Instrument markup is still pretty astonishing outside the 'cocktail set' shenanigans, especially if your eyes have been bleeding from the situation in the tech scene. It doesn't have to be a 'classic' synthe

Musicians. There is a distinction in the market between professionals and hobbyists, but then most of the MI market is borne on the fact that there are about 2 - 10 million new musician students coming into the scene every year - a portion

The Linux world is not just about servers and online. For example, a sub-contractor at BigCo., Inc. could use a lot of this knowledge to exfiltrate stuff. I mean, CGI web servers are still out there - but careful that you don't overloo

The typo almost looks malicious, to be honest.

That's true. I live in a country that only recently got an Apple store. Prior to that, the 3rd-party Apple vendors were making a killing with upgrade costs and replacement parts and so on. Was a definite change in the local market wh

Same here, been through many replacement cycles with Apple, and whenever it was clearly Apples' problem, they replaced the system, no questions asked. There was the NVIDIA GPU flap, the thermal paste issue, the screen bleed, and even a

Musicians are the ultimate consumers. They spend a lot of money on their style and substance, and are generally easy to get recurring revenues from, if you can push the right buttons. (Disclaimer: worked in the MI business for decades. It

These kinds of solution are anathema to the Vienna hacker scene, which is where soup.io was born. Never going to happen.

Just for the record, he is a household name in Vienna and they even named a child-birth clinic after him.

Nice one, yeah a tragic story and cave diving generally is definitely not a hobby I can find myself getting into .. but interesting to hear of the adventures of those with bigger balls .. although quite tragic.

Honestly, this is kind of an arrogant response. The phrases "user error", "designer error" and "user friendly" were a direct result of the investigation into the B-17 mishaps, which were many, and unexplained

I'm a blue water diver, and every time I see these kinds of stories I get serious claustrophobia kicking in.. I wasn't always claustrophobic, just when I started seeing divers doing deep caves, for some reason, pushes the button.

It is fascinating on multiple levels - first of all, we do not have as complete a picture of the human story as we think we do, and any new piece of the puzzle sure makes the view a bit more detailed. Second, this is a cave that was being w

Couldn't disagree with you more. The architecture of Vienna is designed to pack people on top of each other, giving each domicile the bare minimum air and light required. It is truly oppressive to experience, year after year. The Vie

You visited. I have lived. It takes the changing of the seasons and the winter gloom to understand why Vienna is structurally an oppressive place. The caves people live in, the mind-numbing streets they use to get to them, the sameness o
