More exactly, problems start to arise when money stagnates.

As long as money flows (even by avoiding taxes), the economy profits from it, since what is called "economy" is the amount of money that circulates.

When the money concentrates in the hands of a few people or when the money is not spent into local economy, that's when the economy starts to collapse.

That won't happen, because a psychological effect.

Let's suppose that the managers realize that a robot can do a man's work at a fraction of the price.
They might believe that it's better to fire all their team and replace it with robots.
But this endangers their own jobs, since they won't have to "manage" anymore.

Let's take the place of a manager:
"If they replace all the people below me, I'll be the next one to be replaced".

In France, a group of english robbers stole around thirty expensive Range Rovers.

The technique is called "mouse jacking".

And what's worse is that the insurance won't compensate the victims, since there is no trace of burglary.

In fact, it's pretty easy to figure what happened.
If your IP has been blacklisted, check the DNSBL.
For example, with this site: http://www.dnsbl.info/

Then go to the sites that block your IP and ask to be whitelisted.

You can be blacklisted for a lot of reasons, like sending too much mails in a short amount of time on the same site (in France, we have an ISP that considers a mail is spam if you send to 10 people of their domain in a single mail), or somebody tagged your mail as spam, or it uses patterns that are considered as spam, or you send an email to a fake user.

Emailing can't be trusted, so you have to accept that and stop fighting companies that block your emails.

I use different sleeping cycles.
During the workdays, from monday to friday, I sleep between 3 and 4 hours, but I meditate during 2 hours and I don't nap.
During the weekends, I sleep from 5 to 7 hours with some napping, because I meditate a lot less (probably 15 minutes).

Several years ago, I was sleeping 6-7 hours every night, but I was always tired.
I started meditation 4 years ago, and everything changed from this moment: I'm never tired, I listen to my body (no abuse), and I have a deep sense of joy.

Deep meditation is equivalent to sleep.

Monochrony/polychrony is very useful if you work with different cultures at your work.

If you want some other concepts useful at work, read this:

and search for its counterpart "Köhler effect"

My appendix was removed 35 years ago ;D
I believe that my gluten tolerance was reduced because of a combination of gluten consumption (I was a heavy bread eater) and antibiotics.
But who knows really ? Since I inherited from all the bad genes from my parents.

Unknowingly, you are following an old diet:
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Though I would recommend to reduce the amount of meat and fish. Eating meat once or twice a week should be enough.

I agree that the "gluten-free" fad is ridiculous.
But I have discovered that I was gluten-intolerant completely randomly, since even my doctor said that I was suffering from IBS, and provided me drugs which never solved my problems.

You make it sound as if Di Sabatino and Corazza were debunking gluten, while they are doctors specialized in celiac diseases.

The conclusions of the above sentence are:
1) if you have problems with gluten, it doesn't mean that people around you will also have them. It's a belief.
2) gluten may be toxic, but not everybody suffers from it.

What you wrote reminds me of the difference between monochronic and polychronic cultures:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

We are all both polychronic and monochronic at various degree in our lives.
Pehraps you mother values relationships, so abstract interfaces go against her interests.
To simplify her life, you should try to use large icons with people on them, doing various actions.
It'll be probably less abstract for her, since she memorizes what she can, so she's limited to her knowledge, while you are limited by your curiosity.

Oh, and the young designers are so proud of their level of abstraction, that it goes against basic usability.

This sounds like the USA, where all the world economy is sustaining the dollar's value.

You are partly true, since it's a national sport to avoid taxes.
I read that in one of the greek islands, a lot of taxi drivers were "officially" blind.

The real problem is that Greece has to spend 13% of its GDP to pay for its retirees.
It almost twice as much as other european countries, and it will gets worse because the population is older than most other countries, with a lot of unemployment for young ones (probably whose who are leaving the country).

Since everybody wants to profit from the current system, I very much doubt that the problem will solve without cries.
The IMF lost 1.6 billions of euros, so I also doubt that Europe will continue subsidizing the current system.

Not necessarily.

Personally, my back hurts when I'm standing for 10 minutes, when doing my dish-washing.
Of course, the position is not really comfortable, but I have other problems:

1) I have flat feet, so the standing position is painful because it puts strains on my knees. I use insoles.
2) I have circulatory problems in my legs. My mother has the same problems, it became varices for her. I use compression socks
3) I have several herniated discs, so it puts pressure on the sciatic nerve when standing still.

I walk a lot and am weighing around 100kg.

They bought the medallion as it was a diploma, in order to get a job.

You cannot tell them: sorry, your medallion (=diploma) is worth nothing right now.

It's not my argument. Here is the original article in french:
http://www.slate.fr/story/1034...

Yes, there is this theory about redistributing money, but I call that bullshit.

People who take a taxi are not the poorest ones.
When you take a taxi, it means that you can afford it (there is an amusing story about an INA director who spent 40,000 euros on taxis each year).
When you have no money, you use the public transportation (it's reasonably cheap in France).

It's easy to criticize the taxi drivers, because they are too expensive.
If you were in the shoes of a taxi driver, don't you believe that this system is killing your job ?

Right now, programmers and system admins are very expensive.
Let's imagine an Uber for our jobs in a near future.
I'm sure that you'll enjoy this service.
After all, this is called "progress" and "free market" !
