May be the next medical breakthrough is really going to be TODO lists. Which reminds me of Lotus Notes. 20 years ago it widely used to automate workflows. But I haven't seen anything similar widely used since.

> I don't know for Denmark, but in the Netherlands, about 60% of cyclists dying in traffic are over 65 years old (106 out of 185 in 2014). I am curious why is that. Reflexes, heart attacks, hip injuries ?

Nice comment. Food for thought. How big was the risk that they took ? Surely they knew that the market was insane. But would they have lost a lot of money if the market was insane for a long time ? I saw the movie but I don't remember

> Also, the team spent too much time debating standards etc. IMHO. You need a lead with a clear vision that drives the effort. Too many leads will create chaos.

I have tight straight teeth on one side and I wicked with little gaps on the other side. There is a big difference when I floss. On one side is usually clean, on the other is not. It requires a lot more maintenance.

It must be this. Even politicians will be greatly impacted. Since anything can be used against them. Even the most innocent text message if leaked. And none of them is guaranteed to have control over it.

Not leaving will create a moral danger. Wouldn't it? It will make it too easy for people to vote according with their guts knowing that they will be saved. It will also empower anti-EU parties in other countries in EU.

Probably better to live your productive years in a place where there is money available and then retire on a much cheaper country.

Are people in Venezuela allowed to leave. Can you explain ? > 30% did not cross back. Not surprisingly. It can easily become a humanitarian problem for Colombia. What is the political sentiment in Colombia about this ?

by huherto 10y ago
You can't generalize. Certainly Hugo Chavez didn't. Since Venezuela was a democracy you could also argue that democracies wreak havoc in the economy.

He was elected democratically, but then he behaved like a dictator. He was not aware of his ignorance in economics, and he had to support of the people. The results were disastrous.

Care to list what the C## language has that the Java Language doesn't? I guess, you don't miss what you don't know.

The npm is a mess. Granted, Maven Central has the advantage of Java being statically type checked. But CPAN is awesome. And Perl is dynamic. But modules in CPAN are thoroughly unit tested when you install them. npm is neither. You find inco

I dislike Oracle as a company. I whish Sun had been acquired by Google instead. But the Java ecosystem is awesome. The language is great, the JVM is great. As long as you know what you are doing.

Mostly a problem of how people use OOP. I don't think there is a problem with the Java Language or the JVM.
