The point is to never test how it's working. Instead declare what it should be doing. If you can't declare ahead of time what it should be doing (maybe this is what you mean "how it is going to work") then you can't

In Greece it's very widespread for young people (higher ed people 18-25) to join political parties. The corruption that this has led to, is unfathomable. The problem is that the political parties have no interest in democracy, just pow

Isn't though the point of software, to be easily transferable from device to device? Otherwise we've just reinvented hardware. My point is that a car is a complete piece of hardware, all of which is necessary for it to fulfil its

Not exactly. Being a monopoly is fine. Google is a monopoly in search for example. It's not fine when you use that monopoly power to either stifle competition (like what MS did), or to demonstrably harm the consumer (very hard to prove

Is it like that though? If you are the only one in your office who doesn't follow the mindset of simple lunches, won't that impact you socially?

I highly, highly, doubt that. If life was found, I expect that the amount of money invested in studying it, would be orders of magnitude what they are getting now.

As an example, if your government instructed you to separate parents from their child, you could refuse, without any political motivations. If you consider this a difference of opinion between the government and you, then yes, it may be pol

You mention Steam, which is a steaming pile of poo, along with chaos and devs preying on users. Do have any semblance of the amount of shovelware & asset flips published on Steam daily?

Absolutely with you, just one correction: if this someone has no incentive to not avoid taxes and exploit workers, he won't do it, or will be replaced by someone who does (as he would have an advantage). I'm not saying there shoul
