As with everything, it has pros and cons. If you care more about the environment than the economy, then I guess it's a good thing. The problem is that we have structured our entire system essentially as a pyramid scheme, where the ever

Well, we can definitely hope so.

Rust fixes some issues that haven been present in most mainstream languages for decades, while maintaining performance. There are many such languages or tools - Haskell (or other FP languages) or Erlang being among them - that have some voc

The only reason you can refuse working from the office is the fac that you can simply walk out the door and find another job somewhere else. If this very fragile fact changes, the workers will do whatever the employeers want. Maybe employer

I think you are mistaking things because I didn't even mention growth. You're also saying that just because the US and China have done better than Europe, that means that QE has not had a measurable effect on the job market? I&#x2

I'm not OP, though I see that he's among the few that shares this opinion of mine. Take what I'm saying with a gigantic grain of salt because I am not some economist. We have had 10 years+ of quantitative easing both in the U

In the short-term this may be the case, but the party that we've had due to massive QE is close to ending. We're in an employee's market now, and my guess is that it will turn into an employer's market quite quickly.

What do you mean "until the last of the virus is killed"? Apart from the very beginning of the pandemic, this was never even on the table. Covid is here forever, same as any other cold/flu, we must learn to live with it.

You're making it sound as Russia is doing the West a favor by going easy on its response. As if Russia is merciful and we should be grateful.

Well, since you semi-offered... :) Could you explain this to me like I am a complete moron? I understand that SWIFT allows for international payments, but I don't understand exactly how it differs from a normal bank account transfer wi

You speak with such impunity on matters that are clearly not for the average folk. The situations in 1939 and 2022 are only similar insofar as we are talking about the same country. Everything else is different.

Yes, always, since it's exaggerated more often than not.

Ha, fair enough, you got me! I live in the Netherlands and the cycling and pedestrian infrastructure is indeed better than anywhere else I've been. Apart from maybe Denmark, I doubt there's anywhere that comes close to the Netherl

Well, that is a highly subjective opinion. As with everything, moving every 2 years has pros and cons. The flip side of what you said is that a person who spent >5 years at the same company has only really seen a limited number of proble

Apologies, but this is a very weak an unsubstantiated article, despite agreeing with its premise full heartedly. > Third, immutability has its downsides. Blocks in the blockchain are for all intents and purposes completely fixed. This me

What do you mean a "theoretical path to value"? If I understand you correctly, I think you're implying that everything has to be speculative, like currencies too?

Is it? This is an article stating that the blockchain (and by extension crypto) is a crappy technology by some random dude. It's not Biden who wrote it, it's some random dude. So who exactly is limiting your freedom? If a random d

You're strawmanning heavily. The energy argument is a big one, but it's not THE argument against crypto.

Scratching your left ear with your right hand doesn't mean that pelicans can't fly. Or, in other words, you just said a bunch of seemingly-relevant keywords, but without actually making any sense. Your comment looks a lot like wha

Allow me to doubt that this is possible on a regular basis. Anyone can get bouts of error-free code. It happens on a regular basis that I write dozens of lines of code and everything just works, without any debugging. However, it's not

There are many stories around both Elena and Nicolae Ceausescu. Since they were supposed to be perfect in the eyes of the people, the news and all available official information portrayed them similarly to how Kim Jong-Un is portrayed today

It really does not beg that question at all. You might as well say "well, if the sky is blue, then who invented the color blue?". Nobody, it's just a name we give to a random light wavelength.

So, in the end, you're accepting that regulation is not the determining factor then. Not even sure what exactly you think the proportion of foreign-born medical staff is in Europe. As far as I can find, the maximum is ~30% in the UK, w

You want to compare the richest country in history with Moldova? I'm not sure I see the point. My point was very simple. Out of all of the world's developed countries, the USA is the one with the most expensive healthcare, despite
