People chose lifestyles that can cause cancer etc. So yeah I'll go with the medical definition of a disease.

Honestly, when you US folks talk about how your medical bills work and are paid there is so much jargon and complexity it sounds like Star Trek techno-babble to my ears. "I have a common but chronic ailment so all I had to do was re-ro

I've said it before, this video demo is one of the very best I've ever seen. https://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtml So well prepared, so well presented, so little that could be removed without ruining it. I aspire

Strange. In Austria it's pretty popular now. Some stores have fucked up the speed of it though by first checking for your store membership account on the card which ruins the flow of the transaction. Often forcing the whole thing to be

Indeed, as one might reasonably expect given it's geographical location. Nevertheless, within the institutions of politics and media and to a lesser extent the civil service there remains a vocal and sizeable minority who fear white pe

Yeah. They've obviously made much progress but are still institutionally scared of non white immigrants. Very forward thinking on the issue of partners though. If one gets the visa the other does too with little or no fuss. Don't

> passing laws on guns and drugs will stop those things. Problematic comparison. Politics aside, gun laws can definitely achieve publicly desired outcomes. E.g. handgun ban in Australia. Drug laws mean your paracetamol won't poison

Parent didn't suggest otherwise. Maybe it's better, i.e. the right thing to do, to leave a market in an oppressive land? Personally I think more of Google for doing that.

The problem I have with Spacemacs is that it's almost too fancy. Even as a moderately experienced Emacs user I found the defaults overwhelming. As an example, it displays lots of incomprehensible to the new user information on the bott

Isn't the vast majority of the flooding danger due to climate change during storms anyway?

I guess the reason is that a combination of static analysis and code formatting does most of the same job. But I would also love to have it as a compiler switch.

Before you waste your precious time one should consider that the author has quite the history of writing contrarian articles related to climate change and renewable energy that are poorly researched and/or flat out wrong. The author al

Right. That's why I said needlessly complicated :) Takes so much effort to work everything out. They rely on this to make profits from mistakes.

Indeed, but still at prices which are well above current prices for my domestic rate. By 2022 one would imaging domestic rates will be still lower making that maximum rate much worse than it looks now. A true end to roaming would mean I ca

Of course it is a problem. I pay for 10gb a month but go on holiday for say two weeks and only have 2gb available precisely when I'm likely to need most of my allowance. I get charged a ridiculous rate for each GB after that. This is a

Try and use your full data allowance abroad and get back to me.

No. There are various limits. One of which is you have a limited amount of time you can roam for per year before you have to start paying. It's not too bad though. The real shit loophole is that they don't give you your full data

My experience? Letting people go is actually easy. It might be hard for a day and you genuinely feel bad but it's really not a hard thing to do. What's hard is putting in the effort to help someone out of the hole they are in. Giv

There is in fact a ratchet mechanism in it. It's not a useless accord at all and those who think they can just pretend they will follow it may be in for a shock. Especially once enough signatories give it momentum. https://w

Not talking about re-writing. But there is an enormous amount of code out there in c, c++ and other langs that people would love to use in web apps. In our case we use the same library code on iOS, Android, Windows and in the browser to do
