This is pure coping mechanism to explain to oneself that fraud is ok. Talk or read interviews with people sentences for fraud, they will all explain to you why it was in fact morally ok for them to do what they did.

Great, another paid tool to cheat at coding interviews. I guess the future is coming back to on-site interviews only.

So the iron for heavy oil (that the US must import) are Canada, Russia and Venezuela. Russia is untouched by recent changes, relationships with Venezuela are recently improved by hostage exchange and Canada is slapped by 25% tariffs (with 1

How do you imagine importing modules by version in the code? Something like "import requests version 2.0.3"? This sounds awful when you accidentally import the same module in two different versions and chaos ensures.

In which EU country do you live? I moved twice and I never had this experience. Visits this routine can be done almost without delay, sometimes directly off the street inbetween scheduled patients.

It was a rational and logical thing to do, assuming Russia wants prosperity. Sadly, it turns out people with power in Russia don't really care about that for regular people. So... I think it was a good thing after all. It could '

It's not about a respect, it's about not sounding childish. I swear discussions about American politics are the most infantile and tribal things on the internet, and that says a lot. If someone can't even express their opinio

EU depends on the US for many things. That was clearly a mistake, and it's now working to work out backup solutions. Having your government depend on foreign cloud and software was always a bad idea in my opinion, but IT security is no

Realistically, the $25 minimum is to cover the costs of handling the imports (with some premium), so it doesn't make sense to charge it for every item in a batch separately.

Tariffs on services may also be less popular with the citizens. It's not obvious that the locally produced fridge is only cheaper because of tariffs. It will be more obvious that everyone non-EU based pays more. It will also be harder

I don't get your irony. Yes EU companies are smaller, do the fines are proportionally smaller, but they are held up to the same standard and fined as well. It's not some hidden scheme to extract money from the US.

I find it interesting that you are downvoted and yet nobody have a reason why you're wrong. Even the answer you get seems to agree with you. I feel like that's not true (really, zero positives? never? that would mean a whole lo

It sounds like a good option to have with confusing phrasing. "Buy access for 1 month" would be a lot more clear than "monthly" which to me indicates something recurring (I'm not a native speaker). It also sounds li
