Things are getting so bad that in Western Europe being employed doesn't mean you can get all of that either. Inequality is getting unbearable even on first world countries.
Dedicating 40 hours a week to some company should be enough to earn minimum wage. Doing something useful should be the reason you earn more than that.
There is no better metaphor for diversity than a multiverse.
Dogecoin, which started as a joke, is the living proof that everything crypto is a crappy joke gone bad. That some CEOs might think it is funny or take it seriously spells real trouble.
Pues no sé, pero todo el voto prestado de Bildu, ERC y similares que suele tener Podemos en generales veo claro que a Podemos no va a ir. Y el voto de izquierdas al que le dan igual las siglas (que, al final, es la mayor parte) me huelo que tampoco.
La emoción dominante no es la duda. Es el cabreo. Creciente.
Easiest and cheapest: connect only one, use remote desktop for the other. Zero cost, minimum hassle, minimum space woes (the remote one doesn't even have to be in the same city!). Scalability is unbeatable, too.
El error estratégico de Podemos en este momento es equivalente al de Ciudadanos cuando se echó en brazos del PP. Convertir mayo en un referéndum "Podemos o Yolanda" llevará a un masivo voto de castigo contra Podemos, especialmente donde haya candidaturas de partidos que ya están en Sumar.
Y el error de base es de Iglesias. ¿Qué se creía Iglesias que iba a hacer Díaz? ¿Convertirse en una marioneta? ¿Afiliarse a Podemos y defender sus siglas por encima de las demás? El precedente de Carmena sólo le dejaba una opción: montarse lo suyo, y los demás que se sumen. El dilema actual de Podemos no es culpa de ella, es de él. Y, acérrimos de Iglesias aparte, pocos votantes de Podemos van a verlo de otra forma.
Entiendo el cabreo interno de gente que ha puesto horas, ilusión y hasta comprometido su vida laboral por las siglas de Podemos. Espero que sean capaces de sobreponerse antes de pasar a la larga lista de siglas de izquierdas que pasaron a la historia.
Which leads to a deep philosophical point: what makes us have rights? Being human (so, no animal rights)? Being intelligent (so, no rights for less intelligent people)? Having feelings (how do you know if something have feelings)? Qualia?
Free speech is for people, not for machines. Even if AI regulation were AI censorship (which is really ludicrous), there is no way this would be a violation of anyone's rights.
I really, really love it.

It was a huge pleasure to work on this, and I’m very excited for it to go public today! Check it out and read about the process on the minisite:

It would be a good time to create a NGO to donate ebook readers and tablets to low income families.
I can understand them. Most of the most important aspects of web design are lost in a screenshot.
I agree, this is a problem.
Contracting someone is mainly guided by fear, so people usually is looking for your flaws. Showing unfinished work tends to give them the impression that you are unable to finish things, and everything that is not polished is the best you can do.
Only the most knowledgeable people is going to be able to evaluate your work otherwise.
Looks great! But there is something in it that makes me think you are planning more than one book...
This diagram is a very strong reason not to use the == operator. Ever.
Which is a terrible thought, because I use it constantly. Maybe I should change that. Fast.
Es el problema de vivir en un libre mercado cuando deja de serlo porque alguien lo convierte en un oligopolio, y ningún regulador actúa para evitarlo. Que tienes todas las desventajas de un libre mercado y de uno que no lo es, y ninguna de las ventajas. El peor de los mundos posibles. Salvo para el oligopolista, claro.
Which is funny, because one of the most frequent tropes of superhero genre is the infighting between the heroes (a clear example is Civil War, or most of first encounters between heroes) or the friends gone bad because serious mental issues (two X-Men films, latest Dr. Strange). In the comics, there has been space for comedy, helping misguided teenagers, benevolent aliens unable to understand humans... Or stories where the main character is the villain.
The problem with films is they spend so much money, they need every movie to be the greatest, most spectacular and dramatic story ever. Which doesn't make sense for most of superheroes, which usually work better as very long soap operas. That was originally the main reason of Marvel Comics success, specially Spider-Man (which was really a coming-of-age romantic comedy with mad scientists) and the X-Men (which was about friendship and racial issues, where Luther King and Malcolm X served as inspiration for Charles Xavier and Magneto).
Mastodon filters are great for that kind of avoidance.
