Well in that case, I must be wrong.

The TARDIS is not a warship, it is a time and space travelling device. Maybe you can group it with the time machine from Orson Welles. Also they missed the heart of gold the that ship with the bistro-matic drive. However, all these ships do not have lame weapons which somehow correspond with weapons we had or have seen on ships.

The idea of an embargo is that the embargoed country is weakened and less able to get things done. Fault, however, implies that we build the rocket or we use some CIA means to destroy the rocket. While the latter could be possible, I assume that the embargo limits access to parts or tools which they need to import from the West and now they need it to import it from somewhere else, e.g., China.

To be clear on that it is definitely the Russians fault, if they are not able to build their rockets up to their own specs.

For decades launching these rockets was not a problem for Russia. However, since the Western embargo they had several problems with their rockets on their own launch site, while they had no problem in human space flight and when starting in Kourou, French Guiana. However, the Soyuz-2 used in French Guiana is a completely different rocket than the Proton-M which just had that accident.

First, The russians use different rockets for human spaceflight and quality problems for the cargo rockets might come from sabotage or the Western emargo.

And second, the GOP is not interested in space flight at all. They would be if you can kick the commies with it. Otherwise it is not necessary. If they would think positively about space flight, they would have funded NASA accordingly.

Climate change is not doomsday. It is just bad for certain areas on the planet. It will also limit the maximal number of people who can live of the ground. From 9 billions to 2-5 billions, depending on the outcome (have a look at the IPCC report).

BTW: The deniers are not skeptical. If they were, they would ask for evidence and evaluate it. Instead they call it a hoax without giving a real scientific answer to their statement. Even worse are people who also do not use scientific data and claim that the effects of climate change are not problematic. For example, Abbott in Australia just funded such person after stripping normal science funding in Australia.

Any skill level you can achieve in the US (I assume you are from the US) can also be achieved in any other country. Maybe India and China are not yet up to speed, but it is only a matter of time that they on the same level. Especially, when I look at today's students and their inability to code and to design software. Recently, I learned on an conference that my impression from my little world was shared all over the world. So you might be able to be above average, but from a general perspective for every above average there is one below. So either you are already in a save place because your skills and your capabilities are required or you just average or worse then you will get paid less in future. Maybe you should offshore yourself and follow the jobs.

We are not that poor. Obviously, we can pay our oversight ourselves while other countries rely on the US to pay for the spying on them.

The Stasi never ever had the same abilities.

Well, yes, the general public has, but it seems that our new government adopted a lot of those Stasi habits again. Wasn't Merkel an FDJ figure? Maybe she got infected then. Alternatively, the US knows something and she is only a puppet.

Most likely they were doing it.

Instead of having to spy on the EU themselves, the NSA hires BND to do it for them. Super. Actually, a satire magazine in Germany might have an answer to that why the BND spied on the EU and told the Us its findings. The job of the BND is called Auslandsaufklärung which can be misunderstood as enlighten foreign countries instead of be enlightened about foreign countries. As they have acted dumb before, it is possible that this is the correct solution and they are not a bunch of illegal, uncontrolled traitors. BTW their budget increased in recent years while all others shrunk. The bitter truth is that most likely the present German foreign minister knew about that and so did chancellor Merkel and they will get away with that treason.

No, old does not imply stupid. Look all the stupid racists, classists and chauvinists running around today in various countries.

The title states languages and tech. This includes platforms, frameworks, libraries etc. And I do not see where the problem is with wordpress if it is used as a blog.

Yes, the new and shiny is most popular. How could that happen?

By the way, it might be interesting to see this "most loved" thing filtered for "full time employee" and "full time freelancer". I assume that then other languages might appear in the list on top. But anyway, the stack overflow statistics are interesting.
