Maybe so. But on the other hand as the community grows and becomes politically diverse, you will stop being afraid of being branded part of political movements that you don’t like just by using a certain programming language, which is… good enough?
I just watched the film about Spotify "The Playlist". It took a few minutes before I picked up that it was dubbed. I switched back to Norwegian with English subtitles and the film became instantly enjoyable. All languages hold a beauty.
"What are you going to do about it." is the new mantra of the oligopolies. These institutions, both private and public sector, are now so big, they get away with things like this all the time. It's only when the big dogs fight that they change. Mussolini(a piece of sh*t, I know) said something similar about the League of Nations(precursor to UN). It works when robins and swallows quarrel, it fails when Eagles are involved.
"No True Scotsman" is not accurate here. This would actually be an appeal to authority.
But the fact that it is one doesn't mean it has no merit. My implication is that the person I am responding to is ignorant of the state of the law, not that they must be wrong because others say they are.
There was no reply button. No it's definitely a True Scotsman. When you cherry pick what authority to quote, and therefore imply it's the only true position to have, it's a true Scotsman. Your next line affirms this.
"My implication is that the person I am responding to is ignorant of the state of the law, "
And now you've moved onto the Courtier's reply.
"so as not to run out of labor"
Beloved by the extreme right economically and now Trump. Low ball the labor market. Destroy the middle class and especially the working class. But at least CEOs will get their performance bonuses, and shareholders will see shares rise due to lower costs.
It's literally the current case. Our citizenry is incapable of meeting our labor needs. ("Why" is another discussion entirely.)
If you were to remove all the illegal immigrants right now from the US, our economy would be kneecapped. Granted, the harvest season is over in most of the US, but housing would be among the first markets to collapse functionally. If you are uncertain how important that market is, study the Great Recession of 2008.
"If you were to remove all the illegal immigrants right now from the US"
The wage levels and benefits would have to rise to meet the demand for labor. The US would also have to sort out its education and trades system too.
But if you think this is a skills shortage, I've got a bridge to sell you. And by the way, you are economically libertarian and on the same side as Trump. Bringing in an Indian to do the same job as an American citizen for half the wage is not a skill shortage, it's crony capitalism.
"housing would be among the first markets to collapse functionally"
Poe's Law. You'd have a massive supply in housing, and therefore a collapse in the prices to owning a house. It has nothing to do with '08.
"f you are uncertain how important that market is, study the Great Recession of 2008."
The great recession(It was a depression. I'd suggest studying definitions) was caused by three things:
President Clinton scrapping Glass-Steagall Act, the dam set up after the Great Depression of '29 to stop it happening again.
President Clinton signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act. Credit default swaps were the nukes of '08. Clinton exempted CDSs from regulation!!
President Clinton rewrote the Community Reinvestment Act forcing banks and lending institutions to give NINJA loans under the charge of racism(see commentator above) if they did not.
He also signed NAFTA allowing cheap labor and material into the US, and allowing companies to move South. (see Ross Perot great sucking sound)
He also brought China into the WTO devastating not just America, but the entire West.
Never piss off engineers. So many software cartels went so far in ripping off their customer base that it caused a blistering clap-back. Companies like Maya were just taking the piss with their prices effectively pricing out all but big companies. A group of talented and, let's face it, awesome people built Blender into something not only as good as Maya, but better in most ways.
also see game engines e.g Unity(complete toss pots) and the evolution of Godot.
As for why people use Microscum's products like Excel, when LibreOffice is superior is beyond me.
Poe's law.
If you use a spreadsheet as a DB for any sort of application, you should be tarred and feathered, and never infect any engineering team ever.
Your 'trifles' are the biggest screw-ups from functionality to INFOSEC.
MS Excel is much much much much more accessible to the normal office worker than MS Access. It's not even close. As a kid, most of us intuitively picked up Excel but Access was a mystery even with a teacher in computer class trying to teach us the basics. Later I learned SQL to create websites, and graduated with a good CS degree, but the learning curve is uncomparable.
No. In the West, there are competing news sources(despite the best efforts of many). They might be equally biased but you do get a devil's advocate system.
China is a one party state that controls all media. Not remotely the same.
In China, you would not have known the story was bogus.
If you fail to understand the context of this farce, with the UK economy tanking, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Ignoring those who have left(and completely ignoring a six figure engineer, medical doctor etc are as valuable as millionaires) you don't invest in the UK. You don't hire. You let people go. You don't increase wages. You don't take any risks, and you lower the amount of labour you supply. You get the exact economic results the UK have now. Taxing success has never and will never work. Jesus, even all the Nordic PM's had to come to Harvard to make this point.
'Tax justice' is a political group. Just stop citing such drivel as almost mathematical fact.
Sir, I think you will find that the private sector have always failed to invest in the UK, and that is one of the major reasons the country is right royally screwed.
Of all the systemic failures of uk government and industry, “taxing the rich” is so far down the list it’s a rounding error.
More free market capitalism on the bonfire of free market capitalism is unlikely to rescue Britain from the ashes.
