To some extent, solitary confinement is way, way worse than death sentence. It is burying people alive. It's a miracle a person can survive for so long and walk out of it in one piece. I imagine the psychological scars must be pretty p

In the area where I come from (Wielkopolska) czaj is a commonly known word for a "strong tea-like infusion". It's not prison slang at all, but of course there might be regional differences in the usage of this word.

Well, I guess there is a difference between what your company as a whole believes in, and what 20 criminals disguised as employees do...

Yet in Polish the word "czaj" also exists and it means a very strong tea. Herbata seems to come from Latin, as it relates to herbs.

First I read the title as "Ford is replacing CEO with self-driving car" Too bad this isn't true ;)

Totally agree. This is a field I'd like to explore and see where I can help improving it. Also, everything that has to do with food is tangible and understandable by every single person in this world.

As I wrote above: Other people not caring about privacy equals governments not caring, equals big brother for everyone, like it or not.

Because I'm a human, not a robot. Because I deeply care about society. I care about the world my child is growing up in. I want it to be a good place to live. Other people not caring about privacy equals governments not caring, equals

You can disable those. The thing is: smartphones are more than dumb boxes that listen to you all the time. So you don't want to remove them completely from your life, yet still want to keep your privacy.

Only you can know if you want to do it or not. But at least when you are with your family or alone at home, you know you are not being spied on (at least not knowingly / voluntarily).

by iagooar 9y ago
Maybe people need an alternative that is as good, yet not spying on you? A device that won't ever record anything permanently, that won't ever call home / to the cloud. I don't think we can revert the trend, but maybe at

It makes me so, so angry that people would put a big brother in their homes VOLUNTARILY! A device that records you and sends the data to a corporation! In 1984 people were freakin' forced to have one. In 2017 people WANT to have one. S

Sure, but the Netherlands being such a small country doesn't have the "need" for higher speed limits. I know the same holds true in Switzerland, where crossing the country basically takes a 3-hour drive, so there is not much

Yes, I meant prosecute, it is a false friend. In other languages, like Spanish, "perseguir" could be translated to both, but in this context, you are absolutely right that I wanted to use "prosecute" :)

> Google would rather buy a company with 1m free users than a company with 10k paid users paying 100usd each. Absolutely. This is why you have companies who have not proven to have a profitable business model, yet they are valued far hig

I agree that driving on a German highway is a stressful experience. Especially since there is not so many highways with more than 2 lanes, occasionally changing to 3 lanes. On a highway with no speed limit and only 2 lanes, the difference b

What is ridiculous is that in many European countries speed limits haven't changed since the 70's, when cars used to be a lot less safe and driving education was a joke as compared with today's standards. You can see that thi

That's the German approach actually. There is no speed limit on some of the highways, yet the recommended speed is 130 km/h.

I guess that one reason bootstrapping is so tough is that it requires a lot of time, usually years, to even start to imagine one day living off of your company. Imagine you have this nice business idea, which you have been working on for co

I wonder if there will be a new invention like the Internet during my lifetime, where I can actually participate in shaping and defining it. While I grew up with computers, when Internet got to the first homes like mine, I was still too you

It's nice that you mention it, because this is something A LOT of people request from podcasts. [shameless plug ahead] A friend of mine and I run a podcast hosting service called Podigee ( https://www.podigee.com ). Recently,

This is Facebook, a company worth billions of dollars, showcasing their last, earth shaking tech that is going to change mankind forever. Add silly hats and stars to your selfies! How could we live for so long without it!

Never heard of someone dying because of visiting a random URL. For those with hyperparanoia, just install a VM.

Not all sounds need to be a single letter. Polish has 32 letters plus 8 digraph, which gives you 40 already.

While it's more difficult to understand, I, as a non-native speaker can understand him pretty well. I think it's just lack of being used to a certain dialect (present or past).

Isn't it possible to choose the best tool AND get to work? Isn't it our responsibility, as software engineers, to ensure that those who pay for our services get the best bang for their buck? That includes choosing a programming la
