I still don't understand how GRS is the solution. It seems like an extreme, expensive, permanent "fix" to alleviate symptoms of a mental illness. This is why I always discount people who say that "mental health treatment

You got downvoted because of the obliviousness of your comment, not because there is a conspiracy to oppress your voice. Criticizing Erdogan is illegal in Iran. Depicting Mohammed can get you imprisoned or killed in the middle east.

by ythl 10y ago
Those should be removed too. People have no right to criticize people like Erdogan and Kim Jong Un. They are working their butts off to try to make their nation great, and their worthless populations aren't helping things by voicing cr

Yes, if you try really hard, you can pretend that Europe contributes just as much to the tech scene as America does.

by ythl 10y ago
It's not competitive . Obviously every once in a while Europe will be able to make a popular web app. But for every European example I can give you 20 American examples.

It's not an absurd statement, it's the truth. Europe can't compete with American web tech (and probably even software in general). Think about it. In your day to day dealings with computers, what percentage of the software yo

Well, in that case I agree. You should not be able to refuse service based on the person, but you should be able to refuse service based on the request.

> it's easier to sell a US company's software in Europe than the other way around Well maybe this is the reason Europe's software is not generally competitive? If Europe discriminates against the sale of its own software,

Debatable. Everyone loves to take credit for the invention of any revolutionary innovation. And indeed, credit can be spread all around. It's like Europe claiming sole credit for the invention of the PC because Alan Turing was British

BBC and Onet are not in the top 100, but sure, I'll give you the other 2. 2 out of the top 100 come from Europe. Good job.

I still don't understand the gay wedding cake argument. If I'm a baker, why can't I refuse to make certain cakes? I mean, I would never turn away a customer, but if the customer asked me to write obscene things on the cake, d

Yeah because all of Europe sucks at making good web tech for some reason. Seriously - look at the top 100 websites in the world; not a single one produced by Europe[1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_pop

Actually, it's becoming a pretty big problem not just for kindergartens, but for K-12 teachers in general. K-12 is completely dominated by women, while colleges and universities are split between STEM (male professors) and liberal arts

It depends, right? Prohibition of anti-bacterial usage in soap is unlikely to create black markets and mafias. Therefore prohibition is an effective solution. Prohibition of alcohol does create black markets and mafias, so an alternate solu

Good. It's pointless to disinfect and reinfect your hands so many times in a day. Soap should be used to make lipids and other grime water-soluble. That's it. If you need to sterilize your hands, then you should use a separate pro

Sorry, but I just don't buy it. You don't need a super powerful machine for web development. Maybe game development, but not web development.

> Developers and designers need high end machines This is simply not true. Explain to me why you need an i7 as a dev but the consumers using your product don't need an i7 to run the exact same thing.

> I suggest an high end i7 for all developers I suggest that too; unfortunately the company I work for gives us cheaper machines with AMDs to cut costs.

Tried it. Too laggy and unresponsive compared to Sublime. I shouldn't need an i7 to run a text editor.

Why? 1.9->2.0 would not make sense in most release schemes. Most release schemes are major.minor, so incrementing the major number implies a MAJOR change. So major that it is probably not backwards compatible with the 1.X versions.
