Πόσο πιο τίμιο θα ήτανε αν αυτό το μήνυμα το έστελνε τον Οκτώβριο του 22 ο τότε Υπουργός Μεταφορών ο Καραμανλής και έλεγε αν αγαπάτε την οικογένεια σας προσοχή στα τρένα και μην τα χρησιμοποιείτε γιατί είναι ακατάλληλα, για να μας προστατέψει.
Αντίθετα φώναζε ότι είναι ότι πιο ασφαλές υπάρχει .

Greece |> Elixir is more than a gathering. I have stopped using the word meetup. Cause that's a small part of what we do as a community. This month we're having fun in Thessaloniki.

I can't stop thinking about this exchange.

What is with people dog piling on someone who has made outstanding amounts of money and pays his employees super well and provides an amazing balanced Life for people to pursue leisurely activities of their choice?

What is wrong with these people? Literally creates a dream job, talks about how much he enjoys it, gets told he's a failure... Wut?

Bro runs an 8 figure (assumed) yearly business, has a family and loves them, and won the LeMans 24-hour race... I would call that winning

Έχω κουραστεί να διαβάζω για παραλίγο "νέα Τέμπη" σε γραμμές που έχουν συστήματα ασφαλείας (ανθρωποτεχνικά ή αυτόματα) που λειτουργούν ώστε να σταματάει ένα τρένο όταν στο επόμενο τμήμα γραμμής υπάρχει άλλο.

ΑΥΤΟ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΤΟ ΑΚΡΙΒΩΣ ΑΝΑΠΟΔΟ ΑΠΟ ΤΑ ΤΕΜΠΗ ΚΑΙ ΔΕΝ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΙ ΕΙΔΗΣΗ.

Μετά το κανονικό φιάσκο που αποδεικνύεται ως προς τα ευρήματα του πορίσματος του ΕΟΔΑΣΑΑΜ για το «άγνωστο φορτίο», προκύπτει κάτι σαφές: σχεδόν κανείς δεν ασχολείται με την ουσία της τραγωδίας-πώς μπήκαν δύο τρένα στην ίδια γραμμή και σκοτώθηκαν 57 άνθρωποι-ώστε να μην ξανασυμβεί

90% of the Ruby code I’ve written the past few years has been class methods without shared state. The code has clearer dependencies and is easier to read, test and maintain. OOP has its place, but I don’t think it fits the majority of web-app logic.

I don't know why so many Americans have this idea that Germans all feel guilty about WWII. I don't know anyone my generation or even my parents' generation who feels this way. I think this is a story that Americans are telling themselves.

What is true is that at least the Germans I know feel a responsibility to make sure what happened in Nazi Germany doesn't happen again, not here, and not anywhere else. I certainly do.

This is why we are scared by what we see happening in the United States. The concentration of power, the streamlining of opinions, the normalization of evil, and the populism to excuse it. These are all warning signs we were taught to recognize.

Americans have this idea that the Holocaust happened in Germany because something is especially wrong with Germans. We're just somehow especially evil. This is why the bad guys in Hollywood movies are always Germans. This is why they make jokes about our supposedly military sounding language.

I strongly disagree. What happened in Germany could have happened anywhere. It's just that Hitler was the first to exploit this weakness. He was a master of mass manipulation (probably strongly influenced by Le Bon's "The Crowd" -- worth a read if you don't know it).

Now we have new masters of mass manipulation. And of course Germans worry about it.

Don't confuse what we feel is our responsibility with guilt.

Yes, ugh, "responsibility". That sounds terribly German, doesn't it. I'm sure you read this wiz a Schermen eksent.

No, I'm not proud to be German. Why would I? I didn't do anything for it, I just happen to have been born to two Germans. But I am glad I am German because all things considered it's a good country.

But if it was possible to just identify as Earthling and not belong to any country, that's what I'd want to be.

@st_stavropoulos Το αν η γλώσσα είναι μια ή όχι, είναι πολιτική απόφαση. Δες τα σερβοκροατικα, μία γλώσσα που έγιναν 4, τα κινέζικα, πολλές γλώσσες που θεωρούνται μία. Εμείς θεωρούμε μία και ενιαία γλώσσα τα ελληνικά κι ας μην καταλαβαίνουμε Χριστό από ένα αρχαίο κείμενο. Επειδή έτσι θέλουμε.

stop comparing the value of a house against S&P to say that renting is financially superior.

you aren't choosing between renting, mortgage, and S&P

unless you plan on investing your income and living homeless, you have to live somewhere

@ProkopisDoukas Δεν έγραψα κάτι τέτοιο. Ας το πω ξανά. Επειδή δεν υπάρχουν υποδομές για ποδηλάτες και είναι επικίνδυνοι οι δρόμοι, πολλοί που το παίρνουν είναι άνθρωποι παράτολμοι χωρίς φόβο και έγνοια για την ασφάλεια. Αν υπήρχαν υποδομές θα το έπαιρναν κ άνθρωποι που νοιάζονται για ασφάλεια.

Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.
