The west should have just let Japan take over China in WW2. Maybe then they'd have moved in to the 21st century properly like Japan did.

I disagree, English is fast becoming (already is?) the global language. It makes sense to standardise on English instead of learning hundreds of different languages (which is no ea…

Papers that don't include dates on them are very irritating.

Who said anything about superiority? I merely stated the main differences I have seen since living here. Japan isn't much different from the rest of the world, yet people here on H…

Except Toto toilets and the Shinkansen (which other countries like China now have) it’s not so different. And the banking system is ass backwards compared to the rest of the world.…

Is there a performance difference between Elixir and Erlang? I assume not since they both run on BEAM but I've never dabbled with Elixir.

Didn't Trump and the republicans just recently pull the US out of the Paris agreement?

Which is ironic because some of the reasons Brits want to leave is because of the French, e.g. why does the EU parliament have to spend 100million+ EUR to have the parliament in St…

With Microsoft I was able to use my email for 2 weeks before they blocked it, they don't require the mobile number on sign up. It was a legitimate email, not spamming etc. so it wa…

I created an Outlook email address a month ago and Microsoft blocked it until I entered my mobile number. Sneaky bastards.

As a European I think the West are pussies, why won't they fight back against these blatant attacks? Is it because computer hacking laws are much more stringent and punitive here?

Terrorism, they stopped making FS after 9/11.

Why is choosing a specific programming language, Rust, "beautiful engineering"?

Looks like 2019 will finally be the year of Linux on the desktop.

How does this work when tourists are taking photographs? For example at the Eiffel Tower where it's almost impossible to take a photo without people being in the shot.

The big question is, what is the US actually going to do about it? If anything...

How much are Revolut paying you for that post? It almost sounds like one of their dodgy marketing practices.

If they lose their licences then they'll have to remove all of it.

I have the same problem and didn't use it because of their scummy marketing practices. I uninstalled the app thinking I could just log in to the website to cancel it but no luck, y…

Ad people, scum of the earth.
