I mean one thing does not take away from the other, it's necessary to stop wasting so many fish nets, AND reduce single-use plastics, AND fish less, etc. It's not OR it's AND. This leads to reasoning like "it's fish

Paperwork is just an excuse, the issue is cultural. People in Europe are simply less entrepreneurial than in the US, maybe because the employer-employee relationship comes with more perks, like several weeks of vacation so people take less

If he tried to use the sentence model of restraint to bury on Google results the stories about his affair with a model, it would never work because the front page of google has 10 results, surely both stories (model of restraint and affair

These websites have money to gain for writing these articles targetting SEO keywords on things Boris Johnson says or does. They will pick up on any term for which they can easily write an article and run with it to get ad clicks. I don&#x27

There is a much simpler explanation. It's actually these cheap news websites engineering articles targetting Boris Johnson popular terms (like Model or Bus), in order to generate clicks and advertising revenue.

This sounds like another silly conspiracy theory to me, what is most likely happening is the exact opposite. These cheap news websites will take some term relating to Boris Johnson, like Bus or Model, and engineer articles that will get cli

That's just another oversimplification. So we can just keep overexploiting the natural resources of the planet, and solve everything by further environmental manipulation, like by creating a huge amount of green-sand beaches. We have n

It's not either one solution or another, or what is the best solution, there is not one single solution for solving climate change, it's not that simple. This is a thought fallacy that leads us nowhere, it's a complex problem

It's not just the price of the tuition. For example, in Europe a lot of the tuition is very cheap, but if you don't live on the same city as the college is, many can't afford to pay to have a child to live for years in anothe

If you think about it, formal education for many professions works a bit like a cast system. It acts as a social filter preventing a large number of people from persuing a given profession that they otherwise could do just because their par

I just prefer batteries-included and fewer decisions. Angular already compiles components at build-time using the Angular CLI, and the new upcoming (November) Ivy engine is going to produce bundles that will rival in size with any framework

I've been using it for years and never noticed anything. But I think it's a good idea as a precaution to leave only things like landing pages in the IO domain, and setup the API or dashboard app in a separate .com domain. I rememb

Based on what, that's the question. It's the internet, you got scientists who spent years studying this issue, performed hundreds of studies to reach conclusions, published their conclusions in peer-reviewed journals. And then som

People love to hear good news about their bad habits. I guess all those studies that took years of work and got published in peer review scientific journals like Nature, all the latest reports from the UN. All of that goes out of the window

It might be that burning down every living tree would not make a dent in the oxygen supply, but having the earth temperature go up 5 degrees would kill most phytoplankton, and that would end the oxygen supply (eventually). This type of arti

Unless you have the short sleep gene, it's going to be hard to be at the office at 6 AM. This means you wake up at minimum 5 AM probably earlier and would have to be sleeping at 9 PM to get 8 hours sleep, which means being in bed at 8

I don't like terminal ads either, but I wouldn't mind them if they meant that the creators of popular libraries can keep maintaining their work without giving up their personal lives. Monetization is still a huge taboo in the open

Yes, I think unions under some form are sorely needed for this profession, as well as a recognized ethics code, like it happens in professions like medicine or accounting. If we are going to be treated as factory workers, we should defend o

I've had both, and I don't know what is worst to tell you the truth. The ones who have coded a long time ago think that their experience in another language/ecosystem still allows them to estimate tasks in a completely differ

In JIRA your performance is constantly measured comparing the actual work against the estimates, which are usually not under the developer control. There are reports produced that developers don't get to see that the manager does to co

I remember watching in a documentary that many environmental activists in Brazil constantly fear for their lives, as meat companies place hitman on them. The meat industry is a true mafia in Brazil, and in the US they also have huge power.

I'm curious, but surely there are some rules regarding, for example, the number of hours per week of work, right? Employers can't just ask anything from their employees, like being available around the clock and that kind of thing
