If women were committing suicide in record numbers or girls were falling behind boys would you be so dismissive? If one of your friends committed suicide despite having cis white hetero male privilege would you be such an arse? Do you lecture white homeless men on their privilege?

By person A also benefits due to a lower crime rate and access to the same social fund should they lose their job and have trouble finding another.

As soon as said company gives up all the benefits of being a corporation, a right granted by the power of the US government, then the US government will have no jurisdiction. Of course not being a corporation will make it very hard to operate, but who needs that damn government interference anyway.

The UK didn't spend extra money. We've been putting up with austerity measures and significant cuts for the last 5 years, and no doubt for the next 5 years as well since the narrative is that the effects of the global financial crisis on a country that is a major financial centre was completely the fault of the previous administration.

It's depressing how relevant and topical RATM's lyrics are today.

I'm not buying anything "engineered for maximum funness". Now get off my lawn.

The explicit purpose is NOT to point fingers. It is a short meeting to tell the rest of the team and the product owner what you're doing and if there's anything blocking your progress. Waterfall on the other hand has long meetings and as the project heads towards its inevitable failure those meetings become longer and more acrimonious. Waterfall only works if the users know exactly what they want, they are reasonable with timescales and the business never changes and we know how often that is the case. I've seen many a waterfall project fail because of vague requirements, ludicrously short timescales and users who kept changing their minds. With Agile those things can be managed far more effectively because issues come to light in the two week sprint instead of 9 months later when the user sees their first demo and says "That's not what I wanted".

Are you saying men haven't suffered any pain at any point? Forced conscription for one. I recommend The Myth of Male Power for the other side of the feminist "men as oppressors" narrative.

Germany has even stronger unions and is doing very well. Margaret Thatcher handed the UK economy over to bankers and we saw how well that turned out in 2008.

Which communist countries haven't had the idea of a customer?

And yet Windows XP refuses to die.

Define "not used". The Linux kernel is on the majority of smart phones and on an increasing number of smart TVs as well as countless commercial Web servers. Even Microsoft support Linux on their cloud service and have even contributed a great deal of code to the kernel.

They are usually quickly fixed but not quickly updated by end users. That's the problem with all OSes. The advantage of OSS is that you have the option of fixing it yourself if the software creator doesn't.

Accrington Stanley who are they? Exacccchly!

How portable will your desktop app be? How easy to deploy to 10000 users? How quickly can you turn round a layout problem? There's a reason why Web apps are popular - they're using a piece of middleware that is on every system. It looks like mobile apps are where you want to be. Tied into one platform and far less convenient to deploy any changes.
