Maybe well-educated, upper class rich people wouldn't. But your new-money-types totally would do that to save a couple of Euros they could spend on booze / drugs / their luxury car lease.

Calling need for identification "authoritarianism" is probably very edgy and cool, but totally off the mark.

As another "level 2 driver" with the same features as OP has, I don't understand how someone could even begin to think it would be safe to "distract themselves" at this early level of automation. The temptation to s

What's the endgame here - to point out "Pfizer is awesome!!"? Seems a little strange.

Which, again, any big pharmaceutical company would have offered to a drug developer, and was in no way a special attribute of Pfizer.

Pfizer surely did help monetarily (investments) and offers global distribution, but that doesn't mean they had any hand in developing the science and the product. Any big pharmaceutical company, like Bayer, could have done the same, bu

What VW did was dirty, but didn't really include a component of price gouging. Wiregard was straight-up fraud, by an agent working for Russia and greediness paired with stupidity on part of the CEO etc. Not to diminish the negative ef

I still have to try that...do you even prefer it over Linux? Or do you develop Windows-centric so you're on Windows anyway?

As I'm saying, to choose MacOS or Windows 10 as your foundation is a dead-end. Many have tried before. If you read my comment, you'd have read that I propose to look to the history of Unix as the foundation.

To be fair, Macs are one of the best choices out there, so I'm not complaining. The only thing that sucks on Macs nowadays for devs is how poor Docker is performing, even with all the workarounds like Docker-sync etc.

I wonder if the reason is that it looks really unpolished (there are some screenshots on Imgur). Those sidebars would get your team fired at Apple. If this isn't the final look then I apologise.

Not to diminish the effort, but I think replicating the look and design (as in how things work) of MacOS (or Windows 10) is a pitfall that very few alternative OS developers manage to avoid. It's just a bad idea. They'll never get

That assumes that the Japanese version of democracy works similar to the ones we live in. Which it doesn't, at all. It's more of an authoritarian system with a friendly, democratic facade put in front when the US pressured Japan t

The article was little more than finding the Japanese term for it and selling it as some ground-breaking concept. Which still is enough to be seen as a cultural expert, it seems.

There are very persistent rumours that exactly this is done in Japan at every election. I can't find a Non-Japanese source right now.

They don't do so in Germany though. I'd hate it for someone like Merkel being limited just because "her time is up".

Maybe I wasn't being clear enough. What I meant was to simply hide the deductions on the pay slip. Or go one step further, do not deduct them from the salary at the time of payout, but just postpone them and deduct them from the receiv

Yes, it includes your spouse and any number of children up to the age of 26 I think. So the classical family model with a stay-home spouse and children will be covered by the breadwinner's health insurance. If any family member works f
