Yeah, living in the suburbs of or reasonably close to a large metropolis is where it's at. As soon as you want/need a good or service that goes even slightly outside of the local mainstream, it will almost always be available only

With your pithy reply you miss the critical fact that the german version of rent control isn't actually rent control. It just pegs how much rent for any given apartment can increase to how much the rent in that area has recently increa

IMO you are vastly underestimating the long term damage this is doing to Boeing. In the short term, 737 user will have to keep using it and will have to buy more of those planes from Boeing, because switching to another single-aisle plane w

This is one of his worst videos. Shallow fearmongering based on long debunked popular myths. Really sad how far he has fallen from his previous days of making quality content.

Firefox sucking wasn't their own fault? I would say it was. I would also say that their continued bloating of firefox and ancilliary projects/services shows that they still haven't return to their original mission.

I wonder whether the author also hates the 0 and 1 elements of natural numbers. Since they have the same flaw of having weird, special semantics that all other other numbers don't share. In fact 0 is not even a number, but a placeholde

It's the Java approach. Don't give people footguns and force them to write software in a readable, testable, maintainable style. It works extremely well in software engineering, because you want systems that work reliably and that
