    His just circles the problem i think. It is a symptom of programmers not taking responsibillity for their own code. To cover your ass in the best possible way you have to write as …

    I agree to most of the things the author said (except for America being the center of the world and a moral lighthouse for everyone of course). But what I think will get overlooked…

    I have sent back dishes multiple times in China and gotten a new one with no problem and waiters are generally very nice (and not just to foreigners in tourist places). I guess wai…

    I think in Scandinavia it is different because we actually have laws saying you cannot force people to work the extreme amounts of overtime that they do in USA or in China. So olde…

    I had this game with my friends where you are supposed to guess who you are (name on a note on your forehead). I wrote Bill Gates on a note, thinking that would be easy, and none o…

    Regulations dont have to be so heavy that you require consultants or a legal department. Regulation that protect the broad population from being exploited is neccessary everywhere.…
