There are free tier at some third parties to redirect for you - usually port 25 is blocked outbound, not inbound (at least mine does this), so you can receive email easily, sending them out you use a free service but they can read all your

I agree to a point - the past is a good source of inspiration in how to raise a child, since it's been so long and we're all the results. But what's your take on slapping a tantrum-throwing child ? Something I think was very

The EU is vast, it's hard to say "EU justice is more corrupt". Maybe Italy is more than NL for instance ? As for the U.S. they operate on principles I disagree with: very heavy prison sentences, focus on lies rather than crim

Yes ! Re-inventing the wheel is literally perfectly fine. You take a round piece of wood, make it roll, and BAM you re-invented the wheel. No need to go to Toyota, buy their wheel making machinery for millions and run that to make a little

I've implemented 1000+% payday loan promotion in Mexico, with credit score check etc, stuff I find absolutely abject myself. I don't think I cared much: if it's not illegal, I do it, even if it's "immoral". Esp

But that's silly. Everyone agrees with you but what if you need to go to your grandparents in the country side village of 200 farmers ? You could build a once-a-day bus line or you could just let people take a non polluting car from a

I don't get that one. Cars are mostly fine if they don't pollute. They'd just be large bicycles. Why do you think the concept of automated personal transport is "the problem" ? I think for instance we can't pos

If only the American president at the time had been more responsible and less inflammatory it would have resulted in a lot less reflexive aggression - asian people beaten in the street included. The CCP is not very responsible if they know

You're right. It's highly suspicious, but it's just that and the problem is that the lab leak theory has many ramifications that are net negative for everyone: was it intentional, was it preventable, was it modified to test b

Well for instance you may work on an artificial means of exchange that derives value from marketing to its member that they'll get rich if only they convince more people to use it. It's like working as a food expert at Herbalife.

Lived in Paris for years but wanted to go to my native Normandy 90 minutes away by car often, with friends (so train is uneconomical, and whatever): I love car free cities just as much as I love cars, but I feel they always miss the massive

You should work on actual problems, then not only will the technical challenges be interesting, but the result delivery and client satisfaction challenge will be too !! Don't you dream of doing work that people actually use ?

You're right - but it's not really unfair though: I agree with the people who complained in France of these problems 100 years ago too and I think asking what the state is doing is how you get the state to maybe do something. Sayi
