What have I done? I have just calmly stated a fact and called out a rather baseless allegation. If you condone this nefarious anti-Chinese climate and fake news, please just say so…

It's simply impossible to make this sort of conclusion based on this paragraph alone.

Nortel once had a CEO that was a former US Navy Admiral. Was Nortel a corporate arm of the US military? Edit: I flagged your comment because it's fake news and because you downvote…

Yes, it is an app. Not a 'microservice'. That's the point.

It was not disingenuous. You complain too much while avoiding the point.

A very long comment that ignores the one it purports to reply to... Microservices are called that because they reside within an app that itself provides a service. Otherwise, of co…

Authentication is a service that is obviously used by other microservices, otherwise it would have no use. But with microservices coupling is as loose as possible. Your authenticat…

Banks and actual currencies still have a bright future.

Don't confuse applications and protocols with microservices. Microservices are services within an application.

It is intellectual terrorism. I am sorry but sometimes things must be called out even if the feelings of thin-skinned people are hurt. It is only 'inevitable' because no-one has ca…

Considering the current environmental issues this is not absurd at all.

Increased urbanisation is at best marginal in Western countries. This is not what is driving prices. But top places like London now attract from a global pool of billions. People n…

That's very optimistic. "The median estimate for future growth sees the world population reaching 8.6 billion in 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050 and 11.2 billion by 2100" (2017) Source: …

It was 74% in 1970 (50 years ago). It is not a massive change. The massive change in urbanisation is happening in developing countries. In developed countries it happened earlier a…

In developed countries things haven't changed that much. If you look at London (since that's essentially the article), population has actually only reached back to its 1950 level. …

Because we're on track to be 10 billion soon.

> Even if four people's names are on a mortgage, if one or more stop paying, the mortgage lender has the right to demand full repayments from whoever they can reach, he explains. T…

Children in some countries still have no access to education, and here some people are in awe that children skip school for nothing. This is a bad joke. If they want to be taken se…

I did not insult nor verbally attack anyone. I expressed my mood. I'm sure people here have a thick skin... or not.

This campaign, which is taking place in several countries, has to be one of the most idiotic I've seen recently. Stay in school, study hard, make a difference. You won't achieve an…

I am trying to post factual comments. Do not accept political threads, or make clear what political line is 'correct' if you do not want debate.

You probably don't even realise that comments like the one I replied to are somewhat insulting...

Well, a policeman on the beat or patrolling in a car is surveillance. Based on that surveillance does work. The question is rather at what level surveillance does not meaningfully …

It's a start...

As is the case for all software, unit tests should be well designed. If a unit test fails when the code under test hasn't functionally changed then it means that your unit tests ar…
