> It is in the interest of the richest areas to help the poorest. Yes, however one still needs to decide to which extent. Italy helps the poorest areas much more than Germany or the US do. Would a federal model like Germany work better?

Yes, there are many problems, some of which could be solved without a Constitutional reform, some of which would need one, the redistribution being on of these. However, given that five Regions essentially don't engage in such redistri

The two options are not mutually exclusive. Think of Germany: each Länder has a great degree of autonomy (similar to what this referendum is asking for Lombardy and Veneto) and still the country as a whole is one of pillars of Europe.

Venetian here, let me state a few facts about this: 1) The referendum in Veneto was supported by the Venetian section of all major parties, across all the political spectrum. 2) In Italy five regions have a far greater degree of autonomy fo

Is this a joke? I started using FF as my primary browser two weeks ago, thanks to the good performance of Quantum in beta and the new brand image as the privacy-oriented browser. If this ends up on a single download I will switch back to Sa

I see many red flags here: - The author claims no academic affiliation. - The title of the paper sounds a bit unusual, the gap is not a property of a prime, is a property of a couple of primes. Also, there's no need to specify 'ex

If you are comparing the two, you have never visited Catalunya. The flag is everywhere, also they speak a different language.

Both the far left and the far right advocate a stronger control of the government over citizens, and in doing so they distance themselves from anarchism.

Sure! But the telemetry is a default setting, and the implications for the user’s privacy are not clear at all. Opt-in telemetry clearly stating that Google will record the first three bytes of your IP? I’m OK with that!

If you are fine with a company profiting out of your personal information and habits, I am not, and I think is a reasonable choice to assume that people are not fine with that.

First of all, let me say I appreciate your response and your work on Homebrew, a great piece of software, and quite a blessing for Mac users. > No-one else provides anywhere near the same scale for free. That's a bit naive. Google i

Mildly unrelated question. Why is telemetry collected through Google? I suppose that’s because they have some particularly convenient APIs, however please consider that many user are concerned by the amount of information Google has about t

Call me idealistic, but I would rather pay for content whenever I decide to, rather than being spied in order to pay for my “free” content.

Right, I am not used to the American system, and I assumed that the decision had been taken by a judge.
