I've always defended mozilla after every dumb mistake, but I'm over it.

They're pretty much just cooked at this point.

Study part time, alongside employment.

Yeah, no one wants to live with people like this?

I think that something that lasts more than 10 years is by definition, not a bubble - or at least not in the early part of that period.

As you said, there needs to be something that keeps investment going. I think profit or at least lots of revenue and uptake is the only thing that could keep it going for 10 years.

Nonsense. "Only after" is a common phrase or sentence structure, amongst native or non-native speakers.

Sure, but again there's no magical solution to the problem of buying land and building dwellings.

Basically, if you already have free land and buildings then you could start a co-op.

If you need th government to provide the free land and buildings then its comparable to other government housing projects.

Can you buy in for 10k and pay a quarter of the rent of a comparable dwelling?

Edit: for goolawah, you have to buy a share from a member who is selling a share, at a negotiated price. So basically, you buy the land or house at market value.

I remember reading about these once before. What countries are they popular in?

How is the deposit and the rent so low? Like someone needs to pay for the land and the build.

IIRC when you really get down to it it's the same as any condominium but there's a prohibition against renting to third parties, so

He is half German and thinks he can hate Jewish people and act like a Nazi but because he speaks German at home

All the German's I've known are the opposite of this. They're very quick to stamp out nazism and anti-semitism. I think that generally they would respond more harshly than most non-germans. That said, my experience might not be representative and it seems like the far right is gaining popularity in Germany.

I think it's more likely that he acts that way because someone at home acts that way.

actually speak German and say rude things without people knowing.

Pretty pathetic really.

You've correctly identified that this kid is a douche. Sure he might know a foreign language, but that doesn't make up for wanting to exterminate you if you were born to the wrong family.

I dont think the main stream will ever meaningfully turn against advertising. We've collectively demonstrated that we're willing to accept advertising and trade our privacy in exchange for free content and services.

That said, the worse the main stream web gets the better the "side web" gets. The good parts of the web will always exist, even if they're not as popular as they once were.

No, I've never thought about this in any meaningful way and I couldn't answer without significant consideration.
