Let's not gloss over the fact that we in the west do the same. Only we hide the slaves in sweatshops so our sensibilities aren't triggered.

It is after all much easier to change hearts and minds in a democracy.

Basically you need something like comfy UI for music.

Variation in small details is fine, but you need control over larger scale structure.

That's why you don't let them go once they are in. Works quite well in El Salvador.

So long as the user base is growing its not zero sum.

Near ir LEDs are also cheap and easy to power, with its what's in remote controls. Low pressure sodium lights aren't. I remember using them in postgrad labs and it wasn't fun.

Alternatively you could use a solid state laser or narrow band LEDs if you need the band to isolate to be in the visible spectrum too.

I can see the benefits of an os. I fail to see the benefits of a browser pretending to be another os on top of the os.

M4 is an amazing tool and the only programming language to get quotation/evaluation right. This confuses everyone as no other language treats quotation and evaluation correctly, including all current lisp descendants.

It is essentially a lisp but hidden behind `' rather than ().

It used to be normal to memorise hour long speeches in the ancient world. Today people struggle with 20 lines. You can make the case that nothing of value was lost, but something was definitely lost.

And he was right. The recall people were capable of on prelitersts societies was astonishing.

Everyone got dumber but society benefited because recalling was harder than reading.

I don't understand how we can all agree that remembering how much an operation hurts is a bad thing but constantly digging up things that upset you is a good thing.

Meditating on a broken leg won't make it hurt any less, meditating on how horrible your childhood was won't let you have a good one.

Which Western or Asia nation is above replacement level without immigration and has is progressive?

Without knowing anything about tissue interactions the reason why microwaves heat so unevenly is the sanding pattern that waves make.

And consumers are better off when we don't keep the candle stick maker employed in the led factory.

Software always has bugs that need to be fixed. It is never finished because it has an infinite number of ways it can go wrong. The same is not true for any of the non-software parts of software design.

If you're a software shop you should have everyone who doesn't write code on a contract and not be afraid to terminate them when the product is mature.

You just copy office 97 and can't go wrong with it. The problem with having UX people on a team is that they need to jusity their existence which they do by change for changes sake. I've yet to meet anyone who appreciates ms office UX changes that happen every 5 years and move everything around.

An adult one.

Fascinating.

So your idea of a healthy cultures are the ones that will go extinct within the next 60 years because they are now so far below replacement every child today will have to support 2 pensioners in 30 years.

OK, what you said has nothing to do with what you quoted.

Mayhaps find another windwill to fight?

Trying to parse recursive urls seems like it will break everything everywhere.

Which culture is that?

I've never met anyone who said 'yes, the new change in UI for office is amazing, I'm so happy all my memorisation of UI elements is now obsolete'.

We've spent the last 50 years telling women they shouldn't be house wives. The results are as predictable as the sun rising.

I don't understand how people can pretend that home management is an easy job that you can pick up whenever you need.

Somehow it's feminist to claim that a profession with thousands of years of history and tradition by apprenticeship is easy enough to pick up in an afternoon when you need it.

I've tried kagi and really wanted to like it.

But it returns the same results google does. I even asked people on here to give me the queries that kagi is best at. Even then google still returned the same results.

Like the OP said, Google's shittiness is a choice and one they can turn off whenever too many people look like they are about to leave.

People born in 1985 entered the workforce in 2006 when finishing a three year degree. The worst financial crisis since the great depression started two years later.

Not sure what sort of rose tinted glasses you have about the 00s but they were a lot worse than today.

Until you can bribe officials to the tune of billions the quality of your software won't matter. The only reason why ms keeps winning is that it keeps bribing.

Listening to people talk about the 00s like we barely invented fire is something else. There's been very little new in computing since the arpanet was invented. The cloud is someone's mainframe and we moved away from those for the same reason why government wants to leave the cloud.

Those policies were all put in place scant years before they started being repealed. It wasn't until LBJ that social benefits were passed en mass.

The new deal was all about giving people work, not free stuff.

If young people have it figured out and don't then why are they worse off than their grandparents?

>Millenials and especially Gen X had a lot of things easier.

I'm curious what years you think this applies to.

I wonder how those generations managed to have houses and children in their 20s.
