Make a product which meets a person's needs, is easy to use, works reliably, lasts longer than you need it to, and can be easily serviced - for an acceptable price.

That is your advertising.

I did too.

We had a whole house full of people (20-30) gather around and watched each episode when they were broadcast. We all laugh, gasped, and watched together, cheered when the new Enterprise cut down the Klingon ship in the final STTNG episode, and shared our freshly-fried frozen fries with friends...

It was amazing!

Don't get me wrong: I do this a bunch of the time. Primarily it is because either:
a) I'm re-playing something in the background I enjoy while doing something on a second screen or in the kitchen
b) I've gotten less interested in what's on the primary screen and didn't realize it (ie. The Expanse's season 4)

However I did just get out of a relationship where I was trying to share some of the shows I've loved, like Farscape, and was baffled and annoyed that she just kept on playing her little game on her phone rather than being and experiencing the fascination, depth, and amazement I had when first watching that series.

I do still watch most new things without a second screen - Carnival Row, Dark Crystal, Good Omens... because I want to catch all the details and experience those worlds. Even the couple episodes I've seen of the Madalorian make me appreciate Star Wars again like the original trilogy, with more of that style of storytelling.

But really isn't that it? The newest Star Wars movie is the perfect example of what young forced-ADD people have to have, with every microsecond filled with a new detail to keep their attention.

Instead of an actual story in a world worth inhabiting.

Apple has had shitty documentation at least as early as I wrote code on a Powerbook in 1995:
Even though they advocated using C, there was practically nothing documented - not only that, but most functionality wasn't written in C! I could barely find the list of Pascal function names, let alone their parameters, let alone how you were meant to call them from C.

My god, when I started programming C++ in BeOS I was in heaven!!

> recipients of the UBI were no less likely to work...

One problem with that is that this was (as they always are) for a limited duration and for a limited number/type of people within the context of the rest of the world running "normally."

If I suddenly became part of a UBI program, I wouldn't just give up working both because of that gap on my resume once I had to find a job again, but hopefully also because I liked my job and the people there and wouldn't want to abandon them.

However if the circumstances were correct, I may start job hunting for something better or more seriously consider starting my own business. Neither of those would necessarily mean I would work less, just differently.

Of course I live in the U.S.A., so just the health insurance costs discourage many possible routes to working.

> Does any one really think that we are going to sit by and let major cities flood?

Not that this represents the whole world in any way, but the Mayor of Miami is on YouTube stating that the governor of Florida disbelieves climate change enough that he doesn't believe the state highway was underwater in Miami and refused any money to raise and repair the highway.

So the city had to pay to make it usable again.

Dogma seems to overrule your faith in humanity (YMMV).

"If you can" being the critical question: can you float _over_ the surge when your "island" is chained to the sea floor?

Seems like you'd be praying to float _through_ the surge(s), especially when it is a 4 acre surface: what's the waveform length of a typical hurricane ocean surge?

Can we finally de-socialize the prisons and military then?!

> The only reason we haven't switched from fossil fuels to nuclear power is because of opposition by environmentalists.

And politicians. And everyone refusing to having the nuclear waste transported near them. Or put into long-term storage near them. Or be near a Chernobyl/3-Mile Island/Fukushima/whatever-who-cares.

There are plenty of fearful people out there - you don't have to go blaming environmentalists for everything.

And I for one am waiting for estimates as to when the Pacific Ocean will lose the rest of its new radioactive glow so people in Hawaii can once again eat their local seafood. Or, y'know, go swimming safely.

Correlation is not causation/curative treatment.

> "flexible and easy to work with" ... is in the eye of the beholder. You're thinking wrt programmers: I'm betting Yann is thinking wrt researchers and/or reporters.

Stricter type checking, etc. in the language means they avoid all the errors which would require them to spend more time being programmers and less time doing their higher-level jobs.

As I remember it, Trump ran to Hillary's left, right, center, North, South, East and West during the campaign: anything and everything to get someone to vote for him.

It is worse than that: HOSPITALS DO NOT HAVE TO LIST FEES - in part BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THEM.

I went to the ER a year ago. 3 months later I got bills from 3 different companies, covering different services, and paid them. A full YEAR after the procedure I got AN ADDITIONAL BILL. WTF!

Walker revised it to allow 93% of workers to only get paid $30k - a far cry from $53k.

Besides all the environmental impacts - which Walker had to gut WI department(s) to get through.

Why doesn't the article or the .de site list which breaches are included?
