If every single utility and app start charging $3 or $5 per month then it becomes a problem. Software as a service is a good concept for something that is truly changing all the time, but I find it absurd that a…
In my case I go for simplenote, but yeah same deal. If somebody creates the same experience in a less resource intensive framework I'm a in.
I'm with you on this one. During the end of the 90s there was a similar phenomenon for the exact same reasons, which was Java desktop apps, with their write once run anywhere motto. With the added insult that they had…
That doesn't seem to match reality, where you have some men living past 100+ years. But I'm not a doctor so...
They certainly don't go on counting pennies
By that argument we should block all non-national apps or services and create national networks instead, since you are assuming everybody is fine with the US as a country imposing their views and values to every…
Well, think about it. A mosquito bite seems harmless, while getting torn to pieces by a shark, in a medium where you cannot even run it is scary as hell.
Just get a proper antivirus and it will probably disable the built-in security suite for you
I agree with the main sentiment, but I have made my peace with it. Mainly Java and Electron based apps because they do provide us with a nice thing that was impossible years before unless you wanted to become a digital…
This, the only way to prevent stuff like this from happening is to actually decouple the system from business interests. These kind of incidents repeat themselves over and over because it is based on a flawed logic…
I saw that video and it proves my point. Taiwan is not recognized as an independent country, and the reporter, which is from a Hong Kong network, knows perfectly well that situation and wanted to ask a pointy question,…
There are areas of Colombia that are a sovereign country because they are controlled by guerrillas. The same goes for Russian controlled areas of the Ukraine and Georgia. What makes them sovereign countries with a right…
This is a tough question because on one side freedom of speech is something that ought to be protected and it is somebody's opinion of what means misinformation or not. But on the other hand, if you allow people that…
If the first sentence of your response doesn't tell you that it is about a certain brand of politics that is following that narrative, the second part should. Nobody has excluded Taiwan from anything, but they are not a…
Doctors are the one driving people away from hospitals in China, since they act like a normal bureaucracy where they don't earn much. I have experienced it first hand and I can tell you that on all honesty, healthcare…
Some people eat crocodiles, horse meat, etc. Eating cows or pigs themselves is pretty weird on itself, especially if you see how they kill and process the animal. The fact that we are used to se things is all that…
It was reported in the BBC today that while SARS originated in bats, the vector for humans were a species of cats that got the disease from the bats. For coronavirus what we know so far is that it originated in a…
I think more of an issue with who they hire it should be more about the minimum amount they are allowed to pay. That will tilt the scale in favor of home players since they already know the language, local customs, work…
Germany is the poster child for controlled rent working well for everybody, to the point where it is more of hassle to buy.
Plus in all honesty, lots of Adobe software behaves like a virus by installing these always running updaters. I haven't had Flash in my laptop for sometime and the web has evolved to a point that it was never an issue,…
That Cold War mentality is getting old already. The world has a lot more to gain if we drop the "my approach is superior" in the process. Russia and China is not filled with demons, and much of the same things they are…
Just give thanks that you did not have to work with the likes of CVS and such.
I started playing around with Linux since Redhat 5.1, and it is amazing that after all these years, some people still don't get it when it comes to good UI/UX design. The fonts look all out of place even on window…
The problem is that after growing up with cars, I went and lived several years in China. I lived car free and the public transit system was actually top notch, but again, having to withstand cold days, extreme heat,…
I live in a place where that is actually a thing, and let me tell you what happens then is that a new coffee shop opens and suddenly a two-lane road becomes a one-lane road. So too much freedom in that sense also hurts.…
