Yet another bullshit article. IT has zero entrance barrier, anyone can pick up tutorial from internet and start software development. Many people give up after they find out that software development is actually very hard. And work from ho

Agreed. Separate launch was actually one of the scenarios considered by NASA. The had F1 engine ready for Saturn so it was not necessary. But three ships (live module, landing module and return booster) with randevu at moon orbit is the mos

It was criminal offense not to have a job. Regime just used it as a stick on homeless and people outside system. Some actually payd their employer for providing a fake job; for example self-employed plumbers in gray economy.

EU police is in some ways similar to American. They have no problem to stop the traffic and use civilians in their cars as a live shield. I wonder how this is going to be implemented. I almost died on my honeymoon because engine, power ste

Nonsense. Smaller governments are always willing to try something new (Estonia, Slovakia), we can vote or have referendum online. Larger follow pretty fast (Germany recognizes bitcoin as currency...) Also it is very common for american sta

I am not expert, but in most cases you need permission from data protection agency. I think it is pretty similar to LG TV uploading list of files on local disks.

Youtube videos are good source of information, also service manuals are usually available. Used IPad 2 sells for over £200 on ebay.co.uk, new device would cost even more. Replacement screen from china costs $60 including shipping. Also Appl

Not really. Often the value of device greatly exceeds value of work. Also repairs are trivial with some basic skills and equipment. For example replacing capacitors takes 15 minutes and extends life of device by several years. I myself go

I am not saying it could not happen in EU or post-soviet country, but I find it unlikely. Neglect is criminal offense here, he was diagnosed by doctor so there was paper trail. Also approach to medical care is totally different. And maxima

I think software development methodology 'erodes' over time. For example original waterfall was kind of similar to agile methodology, there were re-estimations, milestones, prototyping... But I never heard anyone recently saying t
