To be fair, he's not bringing them up as intellectual support for his argumentative base – he's bringing them up as support for acts of retaliation. This is mostly about power and we've lost 30% in power vs. the US in just ~1

One thing that comes to my mind is the question about what you actually want to achieve, expressed by what outcome you want to measure. In the case of „feeding the poor“, that’s relatively easy: people fed, calories distributed, maybe also

How should Germany treat the 35.000+ US soldiers on their soil when the US invades our neighbor? We don't have that many cells for prisoners of war.

So we should have done a much bigger intervention in Syria, much earlier? We should intervene in Sudan right now? We should finally intervene in Russia where they slaughter their own children and Ukrainians in a genocidal war of aggression?

So what you say is that there wasn't too much western engagement, but too little. I agree.

Then maybe you should rephrase your comment, because this is what I've replied to: > every attempt to remove a dictator "for the greater good" is usually 1) selfishly motivated and 2) backfires horribly.

Funny list of countries. Ask women in Afghanistan how they were treated with US presence vs. now. Ask jews in Palestine how Hamas treated them vs. Israel. Ask people in Yemen how they are living right now, but be sure to talk to them direct

And they accidentally made it 1.003713731707 times faster? They chose a number that contains only the digits 0, 1, 3, and 7? C'mon, this cannot be a coincidence!!!

The notion of external clients is a smell. If that’s the case, you need a compat layer between that client and your entrypoints, otherwise you’ll have a very hard time evolving anything. In practice, this can include providing frontend asse

I used to ask the same questions, but then I've realized: this line of argument tries to justify non-action on known known because there are also known unknowns and maybe even unknown unknowns. Now what? Smoke a cigarette because we kn

What's the foundation of your assumption that everyone who criticize anybody must be a saint themselves? Is this some literal application of the biblical "splinter in your brother's eye"? In the end, I don't critici

I am absolutely sure that all groups of people have it in them to commit atrocities, not matter the ethnicity or nationality. But this doesn't mean that all groups of people commit them, all the time. At any given point in time, it&#x2

I beg to differ. Accepting that tens of millions in Germany supported Hitler frenetically, thus declaring themselves enemies of everyone who was a Jew, a Democrat, a Citizen of any neighbouring country etc.pp., doesn’t mean that bombing cit

As a German, I must insist that your statement is absolutely wrong. The people of a country can be your enemy. A Government like Nazi-Germany or current day Russia cannot exist without plenty of support by its people in the first place.

Why that? In a very simple case, all services of a monorepo run on a single VM. Spin up new VM, deploy new code, verify, switch routing. Obviously, this doesn't work with humongous systems, but the idea can be expanded upon: make sure

It is really annoying that you're shifting the goal post by bringing up Wikipedia (as an example, not the article), which is very much different from Github in many ways. Still, Wikipedia is not a common good in my book, but at least i

The use of Github is not "something that is both freely available to the public". If you're not the customer, you're the product.

I'm contradicting your interpretation of the Wikipedia article. It does not support your initial statement that a) Github's (or any other company's) free tier constitutes a commons and/or b) the "overuse" of sa
