Even more building were rotting before Portugal liberalized the market, because nobody would or could pay for renovations. The truth is that real estate is merely a reflection of wealth. Some of that wealth is earned by hard work that other

The average salary in Munich is about twice as high as in Lisbon, but house prices are almost three times as high. Additionally, Portugal is suffering from high taxes (because everyone tries to avoid paying them, it's a vicious circle)

You are confusing consciousness and intelligence.

You're joking, right? You can basically say "open whatever" and it will open. And additionally there is a button on the screen and in the app and you can press the lid or press the button on the charger.

I once requested under GDPR my personal data on a well known dating app. It contained all messages ever sent as well as GPS positions for years (try it yourself). I then requested that data to be deleted permanently and they refused. I didn

So there was never a way to invest money before? Such as buying gold, stock, bonds, real estate or natural resources such as oil?

And how often is that needed? And how often does it not also involve other issues, such as violating money laundering rules or tariffs? Crypto is the only payment rail that is practically accepted nowhere (I cannot use it to pay 99,99% of t

So a single country out of 28 couldn‘t block it. Good. And an addendum was added to address the concerns. And the association treaty is merely a preparation, so that the country that wants to become a member can start to fulfill the require

The difference being that the transporter (in that universe - if it were not TV series) is a fact not an unprovable possibility or even fiction you choose to believe in. So no, it‘s not like a mass suicide.

We know how to turn consciousness off (like when you get surgery), so he won‘t feel anything about it.

It‘s clearly not as easy as you make it seem to be. First being a separate subject is already merely a concept. And second the idea of dying carries all kind of baggage that clearly does not exist when being transported. Like the fear of de

Or maybe there are few startups with real innovation that is safe from excessive competition, so now software has become merely a fashion as a substitute for innovation?

I think the UI is finally good on macOS. The only thing I find strange now is the button-like tab style. Which seems like a minor issue.

The default implementation of GraphQL has a lot of overhead in query parsing and validation alone. You can try this yourself with complex queries and simulating some load. But it‘s an issue that can be solved.

Hmm. I never got background checked. But I would also never put anything false. Honestly, you only have one life and university is a significant part of it. It has nothing to do with your job - nothing at all. A few decades down the line th

Universities teach the stuff that has stood the test of time. It has been relevant in the 90s and is relevant now. Everything else changes. The whole debate is only in issue in the US where it‘s always tied to debt. Come to Europe and enjoy

This is a very important point. Mobile web apps primarily don‘t feel right because of the browser UI and also because the interaction with scrolling/tapping is never quite as perfect.

Yawn. Seriously, don‘t worry about it.

So? There is an attribute to control that. Sure, the default has less privacy but that has little to do with the transport and is a property of the document spec.

It would be better to do retros rarely or whenever requested (when there is a need). But that‘s not what Agile suggests.

Does depicting mean that there was some sort of marzipan decoration depicting two men? If so, would it be possible to refuse to make that particular decoration (but make a cake)? Wouldn‘t this kind of be like telling an artist what exactly

It‘s perfectly normal to use words like „and“ and still make an argument. This is done all the time in articles, it‘s not math but language. There was an assertion, then another assertion and then an example related (but not equal) to the f
