Buying an old beater car as your first car has been the norm forever. But that’s because young people still have no wealth, ie they are poor, not because they don’t want a shiny Audi.

You could argue everything, but I’m pretty sure 99% of those sharing a flat are doing so because they can’t afford a flat for themselves, not because they enjoy the company.

The case for normalising poverty.

Find a pirate version if possible…

How exactly should they be terminated? 150 1:1 meetings?

I don't understand. For you to see the message, you have to click on the link. Your clicking on the link must mean that the link is active, since it is getting clicks. So why is the link being deactivated for being inactive?

Okay, then… As a user I’d expect the device not to waste any time connecting to my wireless network and getting a dhcp lease, instead being already connected when I open the lid.

Wait, low temperatures drain your battery? I would’ve expected the opposite.

If you give the EU a lot of power, which some people in HN are in favour of, they will use it for good and bad. I’d rather they have no power and live without the good things. Those who celebrate the good things are too ignorant to realise that the power they use to do good things will eventually be used to do bad things.

How is that better than what the article describes? You need gas, electricity (outdoors!) and get constant fan noise.

So civilisations that are in decline had a peak of energy consumption a couple of decades ago? Whilst civilisations that are progressing keep using more energy? Are you sure this helps your argument?

That was true of every single civilisation before ours.

As they say there isn’t a single civilisation that has prospered by spending less energy.

Ah sorry, I thought he may be talking about the bombing of Belgrade :)

Averages as well as you say are useless. You know this, so I don’t know why you bring averages up. I specifically mentioned the most common salary, not the average or the mean, which are completely skewed.

You should also research the salaries of other people who also have a “bachelor’s degree” as you call it. That is, if they get employment and don’t have to emigrate.

Mobile operating systems have very great children controls. You should research the topic yourself and you will see.

Fewer, for sure.

Not to mention they work for the state so they are guaranteed to have lots of free days by law and their work hours are always respected.

Nurses in Spain make 2500-3000 euro a month, in a country where the most common salary is 1250 euro. Are they overworked? Well then they can take a pay cut so we can hire more of them.

Maybe so, but it’s better than the alternatives.

Not necessarily. If they want to have uneducated children, let them.

That's how it should work but you will find that a majority of parents cba rearing their children so they want the state to do it for them. And this extends to so many things in life that the authoritarian grip is only going to get tighter with time.

Live by the sword.

What solutions are there for programs that can’t be recompiled because the source code is not available? Think for example of old games.

Why even have a court? After all if they take you there it must be because you’re guilty. No need for a trial.

It’s really funny because you’re describing an ORM perfectly.

Of course they are. We continuously hear that we have to stop having cars, kids, and consuming in a way that the elites have described as irresponsible, all whilst they travel the world in private jets where they definitely do not eat tofu.

It’s surprising to me that in America newspapers are expected to publicly endorse a candidate. Not even trying to pretend to be neutral.

Because decisions like these have to be taken purely on the basis of technical merits, not political ideology.

How is this comment anti-EU?

Age verification is not a conservative talking point in Europe. I live in Western Europe where conservatives simply do not exist and the government is trying to push an age verification solution too.
