   People are criminally charged for stealing food to feed themselves. I'd argue that's more a sign of lost humanity than stealing something which has a non-negligible economic value.

   Definitely yes, if you mention the magic words "GDPR".

   Dozens means over 24 or more. Could you also provide a non-exhaustive list of such ills to be compared against the ones mentioned above?

   Yep but the anti-socialism/communism world did wonders to make that feel like kryptonite whenever those words get brought up, even though anyone who is doesn't see themselves as "rich" in that sentence who fully agree. T

   I get where you are coming from but this is the common "reduction to politics" that anyone who doesn't want to address a problem uses: think of any societal or human problem and you can have your comment with different nouns.

   And yet, many of their Indian restaurants are super super mild compared to authentic Indian ones.

   Japan as a country or a person from Japan? I still think that you'd find better French bread at any average French town than in Japan, given my personal experience living there. And sure maybe not upscale Tokyo but Japan is not just To

    Why are people saying that the Japanese counterpart of other cuisines are better? Have you guys eaten the originals? OP mentions curry, bread, pizza, etc. Those are things most gaijins complain about when in Japan! Can't find a proper

    I think the issue is that at any given point the work required to fire a 100-200k engineer is less than making that engineer do work to make you that much. If you're growing obviously it's stupid to fire but if you have plateau&#x

    Same! I'd love to get one just in case but $200 for just in case is a lot. I wish someone sent me one of theirs gathering dust for free, lol

    You should really look up a video about what GPTs fundamentally are.

    Exactly, even having a father in the 1800s reading this to their kid and instantly getting that it's a base 4 joke is such a stretch that the article lost me right there. Even after knowing what it is, it's pretty obscure to spot.

    I think just you can get a glimpse by what they export (from Wikipedia): - Malawi: tobacco (55%), dried legumes (8.8%), sugar (6.7%), tea (5.7%), cotton (2%), peanuts, coffee, soy (2015 est.) - Rwanda: Gold, tin ores, coffee, malt extract,

    To be fair most frequently people online use debit cards which can be frozen if something goes wrong.

    Easily exploitable without much stretch of a thought. I'd say closing a program which doesn't work anymore is a better idea.

    You must know a lot of shitty people or just aggressively bought into his not-so-recent PR switch. Maybe both.

    I think it's a no true scotsman statement. I believe one can be a good programmer without knowing where a memory register physically lives in a modern CPU.

    You're confounding variables here, the cost of repairing a microwave is actually very often 0.1%: the part they broke and the work required to fix it is often nil. Unless, you have businesses fighting for it to be repaired by making th

    Honestly not everyone wants and needs a EU that can go head to head with the US and China. The markets there follow different philosophies: one is the wild west of free markets to the extreme and the other fully centralised. I personally wa

    Instead of Hetzner, I found UpCloud to be a great EU alternative. Reliable, cheap and supportive.

    Absolutely not when replacing costs 100% and repairing usually costs 0.1%. And the reason people want to leave certain countries is for totally different reasons than not wanting to repair something. In fact, I would say with quite some cer

    That's true but it doesn't have to be different. I know that in some countries (e.g. US) that's not often possible due to enforcement but that's not the case in other regions. So, if you can, be the change you want to se

    Btw, you'd be surprised how incapable of doing some menial tasks are some people the higher you go into the academic ladder. And it makes total sense: most people with PhDs were not the ones who loved tinkering with stuff, fixing motor

    Fwiw, that's just commercially packaged nostalgia which is mostly the good (and often materialistic) part and forgets absolutely of the rest. Our brains do that to us and I find it positive to have a nice fantasy world to escape to but
