    Give me a fucking break mate. If tomorrow the UK says: "Fuck, we screwed up, let's stay in the EU" then the EU will put all their resources behind making that happen. No barriers a…

    "Banking city" does not mean there's plenty of bank branches around :-) Companies in the same industry tend to gravitate around each other so they can cluster talent, lobby governm…

    What makes you think 10 years is not short term? Last crisis, that we're still recovering and suffering consequences (arguably Brexit is one) from, started 9 years ago. What makes …

    Wow dude. You're the personification of what's so wrong with the bro-culture in tech. I'm not losing any argument because you're hardly arguing. You're just closing your eyes to fa…

    Ah, you were trolling! Sorry, I thought at first you were serious mate. For the sake of public documentation, I'll argue: It is confrontational because invading my personal space b…

    And your point is? That women sit spreading their legs as much as men? That the problem doesn't exist? You are surely kidding? And in 30 years using public transportation in 2 diff…

    If I were CEO of one of the big companies I would fire the CIO for not tracking critical patching and I would later resign for not making him/her accountable until now.

    You are either completely missing the point of the discussion or being obtuse on purpose to push a political agenda. First of all: There's a law in France that prevents campaign an…

    Hah! I tried hard to avoid bringing the Holocaust reference as a political goal, but I guess it clearly shows that saying something is a "political goal" is a moot point, which you…

    What kind of influence on voters is OK in your books? Political rallies where you lie about what you'll do and about your opponents? Discussions with friends? TV ads?
