There seems to be no way of changing the WPM setting after startup.

To say they were "privately owned" doesn't sound right. Cajas de ahorros had no shareholders so profits were not distributed to any "private owner". Leaders and executives of the C…

Why not compare it to the DR? Neighbor right next door with similar demographics to Cuba but closer economic and political system to that of the US. Not doubt the embargo has done …

We do agree. The desired objective of the regulations I mentioned is good. It's a good thing to have some stability as a renter, to not be kicked out and on the streets if you have…

Cities that have almost completely banned Airbnb (e.g.: NYC) have not seen any improvement on affordability. What's next? Housing and rent are already heavily regulated in Spain. S…

In Costa Rica, they don't even use street names. For instance, "50 meters down the old store, with a green door" is a valid address.

While I do agree with your opinion, I think the opposite is also true. It feels good to believe you didn't get there because "The game is rigged", "You have to be born lucky", "The…

I think you and the parent comment are confusing the term "liberal". He refers to "liberal" in the classical sense: free markets, limited government, rule of law, etc. You mean "li…

You are disregarding supply and demand because it's not a 100% bullet-proof model that can predict all price movements in all markets, times, places, or any combination of factors,…

Hard banning Airbnbs will for sure push long-term rent prices down, but not by an amount enough to make them affordable. We already have evidence from cities with active bans. Pric…

The fundamental issue cannot be ignored: supply and demand. Spain population has increased by 2 million in just 2 years, far outpacing residential construction. Right now, the syst…

What do you mean at taxpayer expense? Spanish's National Lottery is one of the few State-run enterprises that returns real money to the taxpayer.

Another hit from Neal. I wonder (and envy, in a good way) where does he gets the time to work and all this wonderful little games.

Not exactly easy to fire someone (even with reason) in some EU countries due to (in some cases very needed) regulation.

It may be overblown by media, sure, let's say we agree on that, but I know of at least 3 cases of very close people that have suffered the issue in the last 3 years alone. It may b…

No, it's not. It does not mean you have the right to live in a flat en La Castellana for whatever you want pay. It means the State has to implement policies to help people access h…

Homicide is also NOT an issue in the daily life Spanish citizens, that doesn't prevent it from being a big problem for anyone who suffers the problem.

I've been being productive by solving real business problems with PHP since 2007. Hope to continue doing so in the future.

You should be allowed to stay inside Apple's walled garden while the rest of users should be allowed to leave it whenever they want (at the very minimum at their own risk).

Spotify does not get that money. The general EU budget does. > Fines imposed on undertakings found in breach of EU antitrust rules are paid into the general EU budget. This money i…

Not mandatory to use the Shadow DOM. And you can easily add public methods to the component for external interaction.

Amazing idea. It would be nice to have a filter by language.
