I’m from Denmark. Most people here are middle class.

It is common to own a vacation house here, if that is your interest.

Owning a business is also very common here, you gotta make a living somehow. And sure, if you manufacture something, why not export.

I don’t know how common it is to go on 5 star hotels here. I don’t really look at the stars. But if the cheapest available hotel that fit my needs happens to be 5 star, then that’s where I go.

I’m definitely not rich here.

I haven’t read it, but it could be to demonstrate how easy it was to identify it as a fake, without the ressources of BBC.

You still can’t blame the word.

You lost me at “bailiff”. You are overthinking the analogy.

I see why you want to avoid the word at YOUR workplace. But the problem is your workplace, not the word.

I like to call it “debt”, because it’s a problem that grows while you ignore it. Worst case, it becomes easier to start over than fixing it. But getting 100% rid of it isn’t good business either.

Like all other analogies, don’t overthink it. I don’t now what “involuntary liquidation” would mean for tech debt. Unless you mean the product won’t run for a significant amount of time due to overwhelming tech debt, which can absolutely happen.

Who does? What kind of objects?

“Share economy” seems bigger than ever to me. Just a few years ago it wasn’t even a thing.

This is such an odd post. So many details that are highly debatable, not many important details.

For example, is the egg refrigerated or room temperature? That changes the timing a lot. Talking about accurate timing is pointless without at least some idea of the initial temperature.

I don’t use a ice bath, or any kind of cooling down for hardboiled eggs. I don’t really have a problem peeling them, unless they are very fresh.

What is the odds that court is where you go?

There’s so many other outcomes I keep hearing about in your news, but I don’t know the odds.

Then represent the person like that, but not worse.

Plenty of people in history is presented as pure bad, but reality is more complex.

For example, we know Adolf Hitler as one of the worst people in history (at least here where I live). But he did a lot of good for Germany. At the time, this is what he was known for, and that is why he was popular enough to be democratically elected.

But if we only know him as a purely bad person, we will not recognize the next Hitler before it’s too late. We will see a person doing good stuff, but with signs that too many people will ignore.

There’s also the idea that when you do good, you deserve to be recognized for that, no matter what else you’ve done. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but also to encourage more of that.

If I want to call MY doctor, a specific person, then no I can’t.

If I want A doctor, then yes, I can just call. Any time 24/7, I can talk to someone. Worst case, it’s a nurse.

And I don’t have to be rich, it’s free.

Argh, that sucks.

So why can’t I read them for free too?

I can. Don’t you have libraries in your country?

Someone knocked on my door, asking if I had seen a missing person. I hadn’t. I asked if I could join the search, they told me where to go to volunteer.

Long story short: They handed me a high-visibility vest with their logo on to wear. I had to return it.

Yep, all my smart thermostats are zugbee. No phoning home by design, so I don’t have to worry about missing functionality by not giving them internet connection.

And that goes for almost all my smart home. I only have wifi things when I couldn’t find a realistic zigbee option.

I do NOT want my thermostats to phone home. I don’t see any value of that.

But they are connected to MY smart home system (Hone Assistant), and THAT is accessible from the internet.

I get the remote monitoring and control that I want, and they don’t get any of my data. Perfect!

You’re not getting the point.

A: You csn shop there without an account. It’s your own choice. An account has pros and cons, and it’s your choice.

B: I don’t know how it works in US, but in my country a McDonald’s account is a fair deal to me. They pay me a fair price for some personal info. And if I go to McDonald’s and I for any reason feel like they shouldn’t register that particular visit, I just don’t use my account.

C: I want to use Windows, but logging into a Microsoft account does not give me any benefits worth the cons. So I use Windows without a Microsoft account. And it will be annoying to keep track of a “fake” account just for that.

I don’t like to say it to anyone but my partner and my kids.

I like to show it though. And let’s be honest, does saying it really mean that much, if you don’t show it?

Yep, that’s basically what I have.

I’m ready to buy a factory new car, when I find one where the data is mine.

Yes, but this is not one of those times.

Imagine someone poops on your doorstep, and then removes half of it.

You can say it’s good that they removed some of it, but that’s probably not the point you would want to make.
