Sadly, I've made the different observation that (in my country, where university is free and academic degrees are worth their weight in gold) most developers who never went to university think of themselves as the lone gunman while lac

I remember mining something called Gridcoin over a decade ago. It's a cryptocurrency tied to the BOINC project and rewards providing computing power to science. I have sadly lost access to my wallet since.

I spent considerable time in the U.S. on a J visa, so did my partner. We both agree that we would have not chosen to visit under the current visa regime, and I assume many others agree with our sentiment.

The Austrian Federal Ministry of Justice has been on LibreOffice for many years now, with the Austrian Federal Computing Center developing extensions specifically for their use-cases. This is a great trend. I wonder how long until Microsoft

You are mixing very distinct fields of judicature, this case would, in all likelihood, not fall under labor law provisions that would consider things such as 'harming an employer's image' and somesuch. I assume that in this c

If he brings in revenue, keep him. If he doesn't, don't. How is free market capitalism such a hard concept for Americans to understand these days?

I think the anecdata in this case is worthless without at least naming one concrete example of 'some companies'.

The quintessentially American perpetual fear of lawsuits is sickening to the unwitting bystander.

The one thing I have learned here is that Americans seem very obsessed with Miele-branded appliances for no apparent reason. Did they somehow strike marketing gold an entire ocean away? Why not Bosch, Siemens or Elektra Bregenz?

What is your point? For many purposes, a homeless shelter can be used as a physical address for citizens in need.

Since when are lawmakers and public servants concerned with providing utility for only the majority of citizens? That would, in aggregate, alienate many people from various public services.

The USA will see a civil war once the majority is overburdened with debt (check), unable to cover their basic needs (getting there) and unable to afford basic medical treatment anymore. (getting there/check) It is an untenable situatio

I've never heard of unpaid internships my whole life outside of the one big NGO that's globally infamous for it. Where are you from that this is such a phenomenon?

Most definitely the latter. We are talking about an entire people conditioned to live their entire life in some type of indebtedness.

This might be the first semi-plausible consumer use case for smart cards as a second factor. One could, reasonably, conceal a smart card as a health insurance (EHIC) or debit card and pass otherwise adversarial border controls with them. Th

Same for JSON though. What Python considers a valid JSON might not be that if you ask a Java library.

Short men also tend to voice the same complaints you have. They tend to have the added strain of absolute helplessness in their situation.

What are you saying or referring to? The Stackexchange posting you're replying to does not refer to the U.S. government at all as far as I can tell. How do you connect the link you're responding to to the White House at all?

When 8chan (and think of it what you may) shut down, it marked the definite end of the user-created forum/board/sub model. This system cannot work in today's internet.

In many countries it is the case. The dystopian behemoth corpocracy of the USA is a unique blight. Other developed capitalist economies are usually much more regulated than the US, resulting in larger emphasis on worker protection, worker r

From a strategic point of view, they took the smartest gamble (or call it calculated risk) I've seen a company of this size take in a while. Kudos.

I have never understood how an entire nation was so successfully brainwashed into being anti-union. In Austria, every year the unions negotiate salary increases for almost all job groups (IT, metal work, etc.) and this is very important to
