Does Japan have those values, though? Last I heard, Japanese mostly don't travel (not abroad at least); strongly promote monogomy / long-term relationships; abhor the notion of adult children living with their parents; mostly don

“There is, however, more evidence for a health risk from eating too few vegetables. That is really the risk of a high-meat diet, those meat calories are displacing vegetable calories.” Isn't a calorie just a calorie though? Or is this

Honest question: why did TypeScript succeed while ActionScript 3.0, another ECMAScript-superset language with typing and OOP (and predates TS by a few years), is all but a distant memory? Is it more than just Adobe being a terrible steward

Matrix doesn't (yet), but Jitsi does, even without accounts for joined users. All you need to start a Jitsi chat with any number of people is a URL. _Integration_ with Jitsi is a separate matter, however. Hosting it can be a pain too.
