The health issue is complex and as such the right decisions are complex as well. I guess WHO and CDC could have issued guidelines to keep a permanent lock-down until a vaccine is found or at least until the virus is better understood but th

Does homefort sync over the lan or it requires a 3rd party/ proxy broker? It says "The mobile app connects to your home computer" which concerns me a bit as it sounds like a VNC headline.

yeah, across devices not across the world. What stops your devices being synchronised over lan/wifi network?

As for as "persistence" is concerned I really care only about offline PWAs. Why would a website need offline data after 7 days? It would improve performance, that's true but everything else should be "fresh" unless

Offline Web Apps were already weak(i.e. CORS restrictions). Now they are even more useless with this storage limitation. You can't really blame Apple.. after all, Google claimed that offline web apps are nothing more than websites so t

I guess nothing it's illegal if you are not prosecuted/convicted for the said activities. Not even if you are a war criminal (see the recent Trump saga). The tax rules are confusing and complex enough so that only the wealthy c

It all makes sense but how does it happen that people born and raised in western countries (Belgium, UK, France, US) became terrorists? People don't need to be desperate to become loyal to some movement/faith(i.e. terrorism). Th

What makes you think that the world cares so much about Uighur culture? Myanmar rohingya crisis is a clear proof that the world is not very keen to fight for human rights even when the cost is low (compared with a China conflict). And thi

What makes you think that EU companies are not "affected"? The tax is not on foreign companies thus is not a tariff. It's just a way to make the tax avoidance companies pay some tax.

by themihai 8y ago
Everybody pays tax. The issue is that some companies avoid paying it in the EU, basically stealing from the EU citizens. The difference between the taxes and tariffs is that the tariffs target a specific country while the tax is same for e

It's not bad but why do they feel the need to eat sh ? They could have said just that "we pay 4x the going day wage and we want to maximise our profits" instead of that BS: "we don't want to disrupt the labour mark

Couldn't disagree more. If anything, more money empowers and helps them fight against injustice and perhaps even develop small businesses / create more wealth. More money paid into taxes improves the infrastructure(i.e. security)

Namecoin is cool but I think there are still big issues to be fixed, like renewals/pricing to avoid one person getting all the good domain/sane names.
