This is a bad excuse. Today you can do a Facebook that lives in your own server. Your server living in your house and being a simple box that you can buy like a TV or car and is super easy to configure. I already have something like this, b

"Too good to be true" is a valid concern. When someone gives you something for free, this person could have further objectives that you don't see now, but will become evident later. It is well know the drug dealer strategy of

That was my fear before buying it. Now I have 10 or so. I use them more or less this way: -One for the TV, it lets me watch things that the smart TV can't. -Three controlling my 3d printers with octoprint. -Two on each car for recordin

In my opinion, it is wrong to believe in the two extremes: That there were no revolutionary innovators or to ignore previous work in some areas. When Wright brothers did their test, planes were already flying thanks to the innovation of lot

"why is age discrimination a problem?" In my opinion, people get used to everything, bad times and good times. People that have been fortunate enough become entitled to it and believe the world needs to sustain their lifestyle for

You could be a great engineer but horrible in sales, or dealing with troubled customers like in this case. Just because companies have the ability to discriminate you, does not mean you can accuse them of age discrimination that is based on

Long time ago I invested all my savings in Tesla stock after having contact(worked) with European and American car manufacturers. The reason? You can't imagine how big the facilities for building car components are. There are billions

As someone who has taught people to crop or enhance or grayscale millions of images from the command line I think you probably do not understand where people are coming from. There are no GUI people and command line people. There are people

Most of the wealthy people I know are not lucky, but the opposite: They were bullied, sexually or physically abused, had their parents die as kids... People like Elon Musk for example had lots of problems as a kid, he was bullied a lot. Ste

It depends on what you need. In the past we used GTK and wxwidgets with OpenGL but we did not like it. We started using Qt, much better(proper object oriented by design, and cleaner design than wxwidgets) and web apps. Now we use native lib

I would not consider some action that has no victims to be a crime, but just going against the law. The law could be wrong itself. For example, if you see a woman driving in Saudi Arabia, it goes against the law, but is not a crime. Another

There is the opposite problem, which for me is way more serious: The desert growing. In Spain it grows each year in the South East. But Spain's desert is small compared to Sahara's, that is as big as Europe. Its dunes are as big a
