> Feeding someone who is hungry or not feeding them when they cannot provide for themselves is a moral question. There are many examples of programs where people are structurally fed. None of these have positive results, and all of them

I had a university friend with an Amiga and another with a similar setup with the Commodore. They had stacks of floppy disks with one game more beautiful than the other. Both spend most of their time gaming and one ended up 8 and the other

Enlighten me, what is moral about lunch? All kids bring it to school. Of course, my kids also would like an a la carte restaurant for lunch, but we as parents think it is more efficient and cheaper if we just provide a lunch bag from home.

Am I missing something? My kids have to bring their own lunch to school. The school is for education and the parents' job is to feed them. And it gets even better: after 12/13 yo they grow self supporting capabilities, so as paren

Nonsense - there is already a decade plus of litigation on copyright and sorts with China. The days you could find carbon copied designs in China are of the past.

I had to replace a handful of clutches, but never had any maintenance done on automatic transmissions (having owned 10+ manual, and 5+ automatic). For just the money I would opt for automatic, let alone the performance that is much better t

Two thoughts, AI will enable more people to express their creativity. And wait for large self trained models appear. I mean, how different is that from learning Go? It is a matter of time and AI can generate original work.

Yes, this process also filters out candidates who would refuse to go in such a hiring process. I think the goals of having a good match are nevertheless important. Perhaps it is better to communicate these goals to your candidate co-founder

I live in lala land. Obese children are rare, however overweight is 11% and declining from 15% post covid. The school where my kids go to has zero obese and zero overweight kids (n = 300). We have Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin' Donuts a

That is not logical. If willpower fails, how could a pill be a solution? That is like suggesting to give everybody methadon, because the substance dependency issues are just too overwhelming. Or even better, give certain kids from 12 to 6 y

The willpower frame actually works pretty well for a lot of people. If not than in our society almost everybody would be obese. This pill will make things worse for the group that hangs out in the treadmills and drinks green and disgusting

Oh, I always think the opposite. If the outcome is technical, then quit playing, RTF specs, design and build it. If the outcome is some wobbly user expectation, wobble back with Agile.

I got a course at Oracle on DSDM RAD (rapid application development) and worked on a project with it. The 4GL tooling used at Oracle were no good fit, but back then also Oracle was moving up to 3GL tools like JDeveloper. And they thought us

Seeing 20,000 dots is humbling. My grandfather survived two dots on this map. It has settled as a profound family story.

I always wondered what staring at the historic values of your portfolio will actually help to improve performance. If you can define some sort of investment strategy, then the tool can make you follow it perhaps.

I suppose you mean PSD2. That is mandatory for EU banks that do payments. I don't think your stock and crypto trading services need to comply.

That is easy to turn around, if the company would do smarter and cheaper hosting we would ask why they didn't spend more time into finding a viable business model.

Uhm, Holland is here and there below sea level but the rivers aren't. Escher probably could have drawn a map where this could happen, but in reality we still need the rivers to be higher than the sea. edit: canals and baby rivers are l

Yes, just make the content. Inspire others how they can use your product. How do you imagine the customer journey goes? For me I would not consider to use Figma as a starting point to design a website, and not knowing the market too well I

The sea is a bit wider than the river. And deeper as well. The 32 cm was the rise mentioned in the article.
