That is the big 'if' for the majority of population in European cities. Pretty convenient for suburbs though.

Even when the word is being used in its european sense, meaning more or less the same as 'libertarian' in the US.

Judging from my experience - restaurants are not. We have started cooking more since the beginning of the lockdown being able to cook during the time that would have otherwise been spent on commute. And we have saved a surprisingly large amount of money in the process.

Food isn't a right. Let's produce only organic super healthy food for 3x the price and save the planet from the global warming, pollution and everything. Everyone would win, right?

Who's going to decide which trip is useless and which is not? The market has clearly decided that it is more profitable (hence useful) to offer cheap flights in not-so-great conditions for mere mortals than elite service for few. And those with money can get better service if they need it anyway. Mass killings of useless people would help stop global warming as well. Why don't do that and leave only those worthy of living. Great idea, isn't it?

What you say sounds more like "to hell with those beggars who can barely afford current fees. Air travel should become a luxury as it used to be in the past". Go buy a ticket in business class if you want a better service and leg room. It also goes with that warm "I'm better than the tramps several rows behind" feeling.

I have burnt myself once with perl: numbers that are printed the same are not necessarily equal.

... because most people could not afford cars back then, could they?

They were reusing bottles not because they were so conscious of the environment but because the country was dirt poor and could not afford producing enough new bottles. And believe me, Warsaw's buses and trams are much more comfortable and less overcrowded than they used to be ever before.

Same for me. I delete old notes every now and then, just to keep them manageable. Who cares how many notes I have if I don't even remember about them.

For me, a simple alert "Hey, this update can break things, do you know what you're doing?" in case of a risky update would be enough.

To name a few: when systemd was introduced; when there were changes made to the file structure (moving everything to /usr); when kde4 was replaced with kde5. And there were more issues, I just don't remember all of them. Reading the news before the update could have helped sometimes but I don't do that every time I execute `pacman -Syu` for various reasons; and sometimes problems are unexpected or just bugs fixed on the next update.

And he didn't mention that in Arch a routine upgrade can break everything which rather doesn't happen in the release-based distros. It has happened to me more that once over the last 8 years. I still use it nevertheless, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Don't confuse migrant workers and refugees. Poland has profited greatly from the ukrainian workers.

Ukraine's IT industry is rather developed with still relatively cheap workforce. And there have been a few successful startups recently: http://www.uadn.net/2017/01/09/top-10-ukrainian-startups-in-...

Not for Gastarbeiter. You're supposed to work, pay all taxes and GTFO before you can legally claim any benefits, while still being despised by unemployed locals for "stealing" their jobs.

Well, this risk is the price you have pay to work in a better country. And anyway, most probably they would have some time (in my case, up to 45 days) after the contract termination to find a new job, so it's not that tragic.

Indeed, a true hero who wrecked his country and resigned.
