Good, that the usage of antibiotics is rising in cattle-breeding. The blind usage of the fruits of progress is one of our biggest problems in a world, where many problems of human beings have relieved by the same.

The problem is, in a world, where profits are the most important thing and everything else is secondary, human life does not count -- even when human health is destroyed, it can be good -- to increase the profit margins of some corporations

I did not say, that cf is an atomic bomb. I just wanted to use a picture to make it more clear, that the end does not justify all means. I don't know, if cf can be reformed, so that it stays useful and has not such by-effects. The us

Even when it was successful for some things ... when it hurts innocent people, the state has to find other tools to hunt down criminals. You can't simply drop an atomic bomb on NYC -- and justify it, by saying you killed at least 100,0

And still, Ronald Reagan is one of the most popular presidents of the US in the last 100 years.

The Prohibition of the state grabbing the possession of innocent people dates back to the Magna Carta and thus to the foundations of the legal systems of our civilization. This practice simply is breaking the civil pact that holds together

When all the academics say the same, than maybe some should start listening. But it is of course easier to denunciate other opinions. <Irony>Also many academics in Europe say, that climate change is happening -- shame on Europe! What

To denunciate researchers as having a "political agenda", because their opinion does not fit into the own political agenda, does not sound very honest to me.

This should be normal routine -- it is called "defensive programming".

TPP, TTIP and the others are just and plainly the fairgrounds of the big corporations. They are those that shape the rules -- and the result is a global eroding of democracies and of peoples rights. They are bad for environments, for health

Sounds really a bit weird to me. I hope, that they really think hard, which modules really must be removed. I would only consider security reasons to really remove a library module. Or at least mark it deprecated for a long while until it i

The reason, I still did not port to Python 3: (and yes, Unicode in Py2 is a mess ...) They just broke to many things (unnecessarily!) internally. Particularly they changed many C APIs for enhancement modules, so that all of them had to be p

I used to program C++ a lot, several years ago. My way, today, to avoid complexity in C++: Avoid C++! C++ is at least three languages and the complexity is at least that of three languages. If you really want to be faster at programming and

Correct. My observation is: The good people that come into politics either stay small numbers in the back-row ... or they get corrupted by the system and the money and maybe end up as top politician, some even as president -- but they are

While a cashless society might reduce crime (for a little while), it will definitively bring an Orwellian system onto us. Also, we have seen, that there are enough corrupt banks and bankers around, so crime will go on ... (money laundering

They are already planning it (I think, I heard it already from Sweden). But to ban cash will be much more difficult than Bitcoin, since so many people will shout up -- with Bitcoin, who cares, when a few hackers who are probably already inv

Problem only is, that many today only believe (and follow) in Mammon and not in God any more! You can believe in God or not, but what is better to believe in, when it comes to build and uphold communities?

To argue, that forfeiture does not harm your defense, since in theory, the wealth of a person should not change your chances at court (where in practice it is!), is absolutely not helpful. To defend an unjust system by a theory that is not

Some day, everything will belong to only a few people and the rest of us will be their slaves. But maybe at this time or some day before, some might recognize, that living on profits alone is not possible.

I think, that having (idealistic) principles and regard them as being above of money, is very important. Today, it seems, that many people just have one principle that holds above anything else: Money. I think, this way, we ultimately sell

> Agile doesn't mean "every engineer working on whatever they wanted." I totally agree. In my experience, it is very dependent on the group. When you are unlucky, you are in a group where for example one person always grab

As I experienced Scrum in practice, it is said that people should be "empowered". In reality, something totally different is happening: People are not empowered, but the management just delegates the responsibilities for the proje

I think, the freemium model works best, when the resources needed for one additional customer (including computing-power, storage and support) are relatively negligible. Many companies operate the freemium model with much less than 11% conv

Thanks to you and all others! Unfortunately, the computer I am about to buy has only one bank (smaller size computer). I also was thinking about using the dual channel mode -- but as the speedup would not be that great, I could do without.

One question on behalf of this: Has anybody experiences with mixing RAM types today? My problem is, that new computers most of the time come with 4GB pre-installed (1 module), but I want to have 8GB. Get the same RAM (DDR3) is rather unlike

Not to mention, when you manage to get a "BadUSB" -- in this case you might be doomed ... you might even don't recognize, that a strange force have taken control of your computer and internet connect.
