Same opinion. Granted, not being a native speaker is a significant hurdle for international projects. And the other candidate isn't a native speaker either. But her interview reads like she is still in highschool!

You mean that "expert advice" which is increasingly questioned with passing time, and happened to change every Monday and Saturday? That expert advice which at least for Germany is now revealed to have been ordered by political f

I totally doubt this is true. Its a nice excuse though.

I wasn't expecting a reference to Prohibition to be that cryptic to some. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition#Effects

So, why are alcohol (and nicotine) still legal then? Maybe there is a 100 year old lesson hidden somewhere...

Because it is the parents responsibility to set boundaries for their children. It can be complicated at times, granted. But that doesn't make it less of their job. Heck, I got my first CD player with 14. Yes, I felt left out at sch

There is quite a big leap from perceived cureaucracy to the living practice of the death penalty. I think your comparison between EU and US is pretty much off. They are not in the same ballpark.

BTW braille patterns, I wrote a braille backend for Haskell Diagrams: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/diagrams-braille Lets you also mix text and braille, although the positioning is a little fragile.

Right, "who cares" about the truth in our dystopian world? 1984 is apparently too long ago for people to remember the ministry of truth...

Wow, I love this thread. Tons of expats talk to each other how bad the country they choose for living actually is. And on top of that, words like legally entitled fly by. If you don't like Germany (who is?) then move on. It was nev

Andoid itself is a barrier. They are trying to catch up to iOS accessibility since what, 15 years now? And after all that time, its still 80/20 iOS/Android when it comes to users requiring a screen reader. BTW, what barriers did

Actually, thats a reason why I never even touched Nix. Besides, being functional and all the hype, but the syntax and naming of the language feels ad-hoc enough for me to never have caught on...

"HP TouchPoint Assistant" and the printer-stories around is totally enough for me to never ever buy any HP product. At work, I accidentally got a laptop with bloat-ware, last time. Practices like these have eroded (default)

IMO thats the most important point of delivered food. Just compare the process and you will instantly see the difference. In a restaurant, the waiter will openly serve you your food. You get instant feedback. And see right away if somet

These are the worst quality-wise. Yes, you can write a review if something went really bad. But not having customers right there who can complain and might even get an extra or a replacement gives less incentive to keep quality up. &quot

What about "Fake it till you make it" then?

Did you mean two or four months? Because 3 months is somewhere in december, and there were no updates around that time.

I can think of a much more fitting headline for that article. The international community not reacting to the blatant human rights violations proudly performed by the U.S. speaks volumes about opression and bullying tactics. How did the c

One of the biggest warning signs in a new(ish) relationship. If she is trying to change you to her likings, run away as fast as possible. BTW, thanks for mentioning the obvious. There are so many cases where parents claim problems with th

While there are of course always situations in life where one can benefit from external insight into your own behaviour, I feel like the second paragraph you wrote reads a lot like stockholm syndrome to me... Yes, there are those people you

There are people who are so manipulative and full of hatred that they actually have nobody who is willing to truly grief about their death. My grandma was such a person. I really remember nobody who was fond of her. To the contrary, most

There isn't much that I dislike more then obnoxious control freaks like her. Reminds me of my mother, and a few other women I can't stand for longer then 2 hours.

Do "we" really have a choice? As individuals, granted. But as a species, there is no mechanism to actually arrive at a decision which would result in a particular choice being made.

Ahh, memories. Roughly 20 years ago, I took part in a research experiment which had as its aim to figure out which brain areas were involved when a blind person reads Braille. TL;DR: They had a hypothesis, which was mostly confirmed. It

Haha, funny. It was just yesterday that I listened to a german kabarett recording which featured the fact that women are driving consumerism. And he used the exact same example: "When does he buy new clothes? When you tell him to!

There you have it, "the future of nursing homes"... All the material for a dystopian sci-fi book, fueled by a single spooky headline. Matrix and A Scanner Darkly mixed up into something... that makes you even more affraid of the
