This is a straw man by people who are afraid of fair regulation and market dynamics. Myself I am from Denmark. Here we don't have a minimum wage, but we do have a strong union culture. This ensures power dynamics on the labor market en

This is a classic localisation issue. When I was younger and worked mostly for Danish companies, we always knew that that a system _could_ be utilised in another locale. as such we always tracked currencies, timezone, etc. Starting to work

A part of my normal implement-a-feature routine is the "normalisation" phase where I go over the rest of the application, and make sure that other areas of the application use new idioms.

I flatiron is a relative term. yes, if you define gold as the unit of value, then it can not inflate or deflate. normally, when we talk about inflation. real value is the yardstick. ie. something more akin to the big Mac index.

This is a particular interesting part of American culture: The sentiment is that it is problematic when the government develops these technologies, but it is completely OK to let private entities develop them.

The issue I describe should never happen . It is extremely critical when a communications provider send another message than what it was instructed to. Also, it is not rare. It appears from other commenters that this happens quite regula

Proton mail completely misses basic features like having a working Android app. They indeed need to re-focus and actually make sure what they are building _is working_.

I don't entirely understand. You say, that if information you provide is coerced, then it is OK to make it public? Ie. if I force you to tell me something intimate or personal, I can share it with everyone?

That is a valid political standpoint. You should vote for somebody who are aligned with it, in what case it would not be private information anymore.
