I've been learning Russian for two years, and I can only agree with you. Learning to read and write Cyrillic script was the easiest part of this adventure. And I think learning all sorts of nuances of the language would be more complic

I don't understand how they can just withdraw after an attempt at settlement but before the decision was made. Seems to me like all 41 should be on the hook for those legal fees.

Hand-picked out of the rest of the Bureau, who were corruptible? Okay, so you can hand-pick an excellent team out of the bureau. But how is the bureau as a whole? Your reasoning is not very solid here.

Normally for e-mails, if you're sending out any large volume, I always use a cloud service that has already solved all the problems of sending e-mail without getting blacklisted, and in this case it's simply using something like t

This is especially frustrating when importing Java libraries. Even more so when your project uses Scala's `Future`, but the Java library uses something like RxJava and suddenly you're writing a huge wrapper library and realize you

I thought one of the goals was for the currency to be outside the influence of humans. Unless this arbitration is somehow built into the network and depends on the majority. Which still isn't a great solution.

In fact, they are in competition, Interac is trying to keep things like Visa Debit out if the country. My bank card now is both an Interac card and a Visa Debit card. But the Visa Debit part work anywhere except online US retailers.

It's not bad, but not great. Some startups, lots of corporate. I've never had trouble finding work, though.

I worked with Scala at my job for 2.5 years. In brief, if you really want (or need) to be on the JVM, then use Scala. It's everything that Java should have been, and after you get comfortable in Scala, you will never want to write a li
