    How do you suppose that would work? The only predictions possible are things which are virtually impossible to influence, like atmospheric events?

    It's quite impressive to quote the guidelines to someone when your first post breaks a whole bunch of them.

    If it loads pages, then it clearly works. Nobody claims it's a practical, competitive browser.

    More choice as in more content available to choose from on Netflix?

    The top 20% consumers consume a large majority of the alcohol, which means there are many Germans who consume reasonable amounts.

    They don't criticize it, but believe UBI will "almost pay for itself" by not requiring aa much overhead. Which it won't, not even remotely close.

    It's entirely possible there's no longer any single person in charge in practice, but rather a bunch of more or less individually operating cells - each with their own leader.

    Did we though, or did we make a calculated decision that in a place with limited resources it'd be better for us to eliminate the competition?

    FED is owned by private corporations?..

    There's no problem getting a refund for apps in my experience, I've done it a handful of times when I've changed my mind and it was easy and fully automated.

    I suspect it's not quite that simple. First, is there actually enough demand for ad-free TVs to make the option worth including? I personally probably wouldn't pay $20 to avoid ads…

    I believe you may be conflating opinion with fact, unless you add some qualifier like "based on potential throughput" or some such.

    If I buy something for $10 and it's worth $10,000 when you inherit it, you should (obviously?) be taxed on the increase in value from $10 -> $10,000 if/when you sell. The purchase …

    But then you have X money tied up in some presumably illiquid art with questionable value. Seems better to just invest the X money from the start.

    You hardly have to be rich to spend $300 a month on fashion, you just have to be not poor, and have it as a priority. Just because fashion isn't a priority to you doesn't mean it's…

    America also just have way fewer refugees. Seems like it's around 60k a year, so less than 0.02% of the population per year. Sweden, for example, has had around 26k refugees per ye…

    I kinda doubt your output decreased by 20%. Probably fairly close to it, but I'm guessing you got slightly more done on the other days.

    It's the same as working from home. Some people are way more productive at home, away from all the distractions in the office. Others barely get any work done at all at home. Most …

    Tax havens is a race-to-the-bottom thing, just like not caring about emissions. Or using slaves, if you want a more extreme example. If your country's only advantage is to steal ta…

    I don't understand your point. Yes, there's a lot of unskilled jobs, possibly a majority of jobs. Far from everyone looks down on unskilled jobs, and nobody is saying they're not i…

    Which is a perfectly fine counter-argument if you are, in fact, not going it right. If you say you're doing continuous deployment because you deploy every Tuesday evening, it's per…

    Not how deductions work. Say 20% corporate tax, a 100% deduction (which is the normal business expense) means you don't pay any tax. A 135% deduction means you'd get to expense 35%…

    That's not a problem with Scrum, it's a problem with your team. If you're doing a bug bash every sprint, then your velocity is already including the time spent on bug bashes. If it…

    I'd wager the majority of software developers do not code at all outside of work hours, and the vast majority do not code more than an hour or two per month on average. The "consta…
