All freedoms are limited by the freedoms of others. You may speak what you wish, but when and how you speak it is limited. You can not scream about it in the middle of the night, since doing so bothers your neighbors. Letting anyone and eve

(1) Ads on busses This is the obvious spin, that anyone trying to undermine such ideas would do. So I just checked the yearly (pre-pandemic) financial report for our bus service - the buses are COVERED in adverts. From what I can tell, thos

I wonder why society decided that advertising was so important, it was willing to let it completely dominate (and in my opinion destroy) our public spaces. People who need something will find it just fine without billboards. And people buyi

In my opinion all of this is just a version of tragedy of the commons. Doing good only leads to you being exploited. At this point I only judge people on the harm they avoid doing to others. Just don't make a world a worse place and we

In Slovenia doctors warned today that the system is so stretched any mass casualty event (highway pileup etc.) would be a problem to handle. But in reality the scariest part is the daily "we found the extra 20 intensive beds [aka staff

Yeah, I get that. "Use what you know" does beat most things. That's why I was asking - for someone who does not have your experience starting WP today, in my opinion, would be a mistake. If you're a "proper" de

I just wonder: have you ever developed anything in a proper framework like laravel or Symfony? I ask because not long ago what you write was true - but only if you've not seen how 'it can be' in modern stacks. WordPress is (w

I think the key problem here is that most people here are programmers and have forgotten what it means to NOT be a programmer. Moreover, most are thinking that all who are thought programming are going to become professional programmers - l

No, that's not what democracy is. That's what you want it to be. And no, the rich can't outspend the population, if the population realized what's happening. Not only is 10USD/EUR per month times the entire populati

I hear what you are saying, but sadly that's like fighting against democracy. Lobbying is a natural party of a democratic system, just like political parties. You can try and outlaw it, but you'll only make the problem way worse.

Most Pirate Parties are pro-nuclear. But they are part of the Green group because it's the closes match you'll get. They would like to form their own group, but they don't have enough pirates elected from enough countries yet

Yes, yes it is. The problem is, that we (as in, "not the rich and powerful") are not playing the game of democracy correctly. Protesting to stop a bill passing is the "you f-ed up, so you're panicking, and maybe you&#x27

I had a very similar experience starting a (new) political party, of all things. We had an "innovative" name, so we got loads of "You should change your name to X" and "You're not getting elected because you&#x

You are attacking a strawman. The commenter said extremists, not diversive opinions. It's one thing to have diversive opinions and comely discussing them... And another to be emotionally overinvested and dumping you issues onto your co

Even worse, your parent comment blatantly tries to shame people who focus on the product instead of the tool . Because yeah, I'm using a programming language to CREATE something ... not to, you know ... use a programming language. M

Honestly no. Developer would not be paid as much as they(we) are if these things were neither easy nor time-consuming. And yes, a lot of learning development is the latter. That's why the idea, still pushed as some collages "if yo

Greenpeace isn't exactly a trustworthy entity on this topic. Their anti-nuclear position is, first and foremost, ideological (as is with the entirety of the green movement). Does not mean that they are wrong. I also don't see them

Regarding the SPAC deal. How does that work? Do the two companies merge into one and then are renamed, while also renaming the ticker from VACQ to RKLB. Does that mean that VACQ stock owners will become RKLB owners when the deal goes throug
