I think one of the important changes was the change of ownership from Sun to Oracle. Sun was loved, Oracle is not, but I don't believe that it affects the sentiment here.

This appears to be some collection of things from many people they have done to make their lives a little more satisfying. Some of them are contradictory like 1 and 3. Some of them for sure will not work for everybody like 12 - I'm doi

It depends if your work must start by the clock. If you can have more flexible schedule then it is possible.

Yes, you are correct, but only partially. Nothing stopped NATO countries to ramp up their military production - defense industry is awaiting for it. Where are the shells promised to Ukraine by EU countries? They are not available because co

Victim blaming??? Why should I do that? Look, the situation was not like don't go down this alley, it's dangerous, it was like you are surrounded by Russian crooks who want to kill you, only a miracle could save you. It was clear

> Another mechanism that causes warfare is a lack of flexibility, a lack of options. That is very true but my conclusion is the opposite. US diplomacy did everything to not create options for Russia. Everything the US did deepened the im

I would argue that quite contrary is true - we do have moral obligation to stop genocide of Ukrainians by Russia. Your description is also not factually correct considering multiple revolutions in Ukraine that tried to set the course toward

Are you going to argue that a demographic country like Ukraine doesn't have right to protect itself against genocidal aggressor?

It is a really incredible anxiety reducing small tool when you have to transfer large files.

I think there is one single factor why it is done and it is more energy efficient in comparison to keeping windows slightly open all the time for constant ventilation. Rooms are mainly heated by water radiators in Germany. These radiators a

The other problem of Wikipedia is it being a target of hostile politically motivated attacks that attempt to rewrite the history. It it will normally self-correct but time to time there are pieces of information that are maliciously incorre

Your personal attacks are lame. I based my argument based on reduction of human suffering. Now please, buzz off.

It is clear now that Syrian leader was willing to murder hundreds of thousands of people, so were Iranian leaders. Moving against them early "could have" avoided large part of the Middle East casualties.

Is this some "Kissinger bad" propaganda take? US didn't bomb Laos, it bombed Vietnamese Communists covertly operating in and from Laos against Republic of Vietnam and US. The reason that it was a covert war was geopolitical -

I can be insulated. People have built small houses from marine containers for long time.

Why should I readjust my moral compass? Because people could not forget their feuds and started to kill? The system held together by terror was pushed out of equilibrium. They had a change to find a better one but they chose not to. If anyt

And when Communists took power in Vietnam then exactly what was expected to happen happened - a large scale human tragedy with mass killings and torture and mass exodus. Saddam Hussein was a mass murderer who had murdered around 400 000 peo

If you read a story about the edge of the world then you have an example of an "flat earth" believer. Regardless of shape, I think the most fundamental shift occurred with the idea that the Earth is not a center of the universe.

I actually think that quite the opposite is true. Yes, children can get some idea of a language, but they need a lot more experience and exposure to reach some level of proficiency in the language and this mostly includes supervised trainin

This is very appealing behavior. Our societies have been built on forgiveness. Even if he did something wrong then a lot of time as passed.

I see again and again this non-argument on HN. Yes, if you get robbed but not killed then it is a better outcome than getting killed but this doesn't make robbing good by any measure.

I think it is a false comparison. Public defender has a role to defend these who could not afford to defend themselves. In addition they protect suspects, not criminals. Not even slightly comparable to the case here.

The guide in the Doge Palace called it rightfully an oligarchy. It was the power of rich Venetian families and keeping it was all they cared about.
