Bonus points for including sheep.exe. That was a welcome trip down memory lane.

Just from the title, I can deduce the article is based on a logical error. There will ALWAYS be incompetent people involved in any solution. So if solution X fails because of incompetent people, but solution Y succeeds, then solution Y must be better. The same goes for the disclaimer at the end, "it's actually about incompetence across organisations", you will always have that.

Building glue is not magical and it's widely used, at least in western Europe. Glue is rapidly replacing mortar (just not for foundation and facade stone). Also, it dries a lot quicker than 45 minutes. A builder doesn't have to wait at all to add additional layers. And at the end of the workday, you just drop you glue gun, no need for lengthy cleanup of everything used to make mortar.

lively household -> public libary?

You're completely right. The site doesn't even bother to explain what "eggs" are. And while it lists the benefits of wheels, there is no word about the apparent downsides of eggs, or maybe a little comparison table.

Unfortunately the level of knowledge on the subject is quite apparent when somebody speaks about "the" European healthcare. I'm sure the doctors spoke European too.

That's the best thing about standards, you have so many to choose from.

In several European countries, that's really not hard to find online: https://www.reuters.com/article/booking-hldg-hungary-idINL5N... https://www.politico.eu/article/dutch-privacy-watchdog-fines...

Second opinion from someone in a 25 year marriage: do not move to a different partner over a disagreement on onions. You'll be moving a lot.

Awesome, a real world example of the phonograph-destroying record from the book "Gödel, Escher, Bach" ! What a time to be alive! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach

After clickbait headlines, now readbait articles.

Keep it simple. My inbox only contains mails that require an action at some time. If I have done this action, I immediately archive the mail. I often mail todo's to myself so I have only one place for todo's. If I have to do something on a specific time, I put it in my online agenda. I have a separate setup for work and private, that's it. This works great.

It smells terrible!

You mean printers, right? Everything about them?

It's a euphemism for suicide.

I also wondered what databases this tools supported. Java or JDBC is not mentioned in a place I could find. A shame, really. I understand developers prefer development over documentation, but this is underselling it a bit.

”Putin is not afraid to use nukes so just attack him already, what are you waiting for?” To me this proves that a grandmaster in chess is not by default a grandmaster in strategy.

>> Software used to not hide all the options to "protect me from myself". I agree this is not for for us power users. However - ten years ago I was the free pc support for extended family and distant friends. Constantly removing 5 toolbars from IE and all sorts of adware, spyware, pre-installed crap ... Now it's years ago I had to resolve anything. So at least this "protecting people from themselves" is really working out great.

>> You can have 5 rocks destroyed in the future You have 5 rocks now, and zero rocks in the future. At no point are there negative rock-shaped holes in the fabric of space. The parent's comment still stands, he is talking about reality, not our mathematical interpretation of it.

I remember a scientific book that said: "we will never know if exoplanets exist because they are simply too far away to see them". So be careful what you write.

Would someone care to write an ELI5 about this? It sounds revolutionary but I just can't get my head around what he's actually saying.

Seriously, who is writing these articles? I've seen this kind of thing come and go since the last 20 years.

But this time it's different! No it is'nt.

Users are now eMp0wErEd! You give 'em this drag and drop interface and they will cHanGe thE wOrlD!! No they won't.

DAMMIT IT WORKS!!! Just found David's song from the Kelly family. In my memory I always though it was an Asian song or something :-) Now this is the kind of progress I like to see in technology. It's about time I'm getting something out of living in the future.
