What is the point of having a footer on a website with an infinite scroll?

As someone who has watched silents with live music I can attest that the experience can be great (or not, depends a lot on musician(s) and music) and you should definitely go for it when given opportunity. However, I completely disagree wit

We were in Tajikistan in July and August, but the hiking trip happened in July.

Thanks, will pass your compliment to my wife. Somewhere around 4500m.

I agree, but it is amazing how many places around the world do. I recently went to Madagascar and the same thought came to us (my wife and I) on few occasions. Although it was triggered more by nature than roads.

Can't speak for the whole of it, but we travelled from Dushanbe to Khorog and then onwards to Wakhan valley and later turned left into the mountains and away from Afganistan to do a 5 day trek in the mountains. Few hundred of those kil

I disagree, but it would look better on pictures if haze was not so strong which admittedly it often is. I've been to many places around the world, but east Tajikistan was one of the most breath-taking. Some pictures from that trip (no

Not really. It's a difference between necessary and sufficient. Decentralization might be necessary component, but what is lacking is proof or argument that it is also sufficient for this change to happen.

It's a list of influential people, not most famous. Knowing who they are I'd say you could reasonably put both on such list.

I hate "what do you do" question with a passion. Not saying it is a bad one, as most people don't seem to mind, but I dislike the implicit (possibly unintentional) importance given to my work or even having one. And I know pe

Because his whole tweet stream is like that. There will be no perfect timing where you will not be able to find something political adjacent to "explain" firing. Still, firing over email is still sucky.

Even if everyone did it (they don't; most countries have nowhere near the necessary capabilities), it does not follow that all can or do do it to the same extent. And this is not a situation in which all sides doing it makes any less l

Does it matter? I'd think behaviour like this should be condemned every time and wherever it is exposed even if it is not unique to one country (and it isn't). "Everyone does it" is a piss poor excuse for pretty much any

Generally good analysis, except lower exports and consuming less generally leads to fewer jobs (you don't employ people if you can't sell fruits of their work).

Really? Which parts? I am from Slovenia and never heard of this. Reasonably certain it is not common in Croatia either.

Of course you can for best of category products. Most people just don't care about the difference.

Hence relying much on international trade part. Tariffs can influence only internal prices. Your exports, more costly because of wages, will still need to prove their value. In practice your tariffs will also reduce your exports since you c

This works only as long as people having these high salaries do work with high added value and you are not relying much on international trade. Otherwise they can be effectively undercut by people who can do the same thing cheaper.

1% chance of changing the world for the better says nothing unless you also specify how much better. Local bakery makes world a bit better, but not really worth if you needed a whole power plant to run it (intentionally ridiculously extreme

In their company, sure. Try being a liberal at a Trump rally. Things may have gotten worse, but there was never a time when you could freely say without consequences whatever you thought in whichever social group. It may have felt like that

This has nothing to do with millennials. I am 44 and there were and are plenty of people in my demographic cohort sharing these characteristics.

Of course I can say that for myself. Every record I ever bought was because I knew at least some of the music on it beforehand and went to shop to get it. Cover could influence how I felt about the whole package afterwards, but since I neve

I was like that and thought that too. What I discovered now that I am in my 40s, is that my own mortality is not the problem (yet anyway). Age has taken some of its toll, but not enough to be able to really imagine old age. Like too many pe
