Could you bring up a source for your first statement?

Obama stopped the refugee programm for Iraqi citizens for 6 months - it never affected people with valid green cards or dual passports.

As KeePass uses a single (encrypted) file, you can use any hosting service that you want. Just make sure you save the new version back into your storage when you edit entries. You can use Owncloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, ...

Don't assume that everyone owns a car. Especially people who are looking for cheap trips might not have one or prefer travelling by train (which works well in western europe).

Had to do the same thing but had a different experience. It was hard to dive in and took some time but now I understand and appreciate the core concepts. There are many abstraction layers ("[...] schemes") and IMO that is a good thing. When you customize workflows etc. you can do that without leaving supported areas. Creating and changing a workflow is very easy. Plus, JIRA has a good pricing.

With ~350 employees and many mixed teams using only Trello would be chaos. In key areas we need fixed workflows (-> JIRA).

Right now we are planning to add Wekan (FOSS trello clone) to our toolchain for workflows which are more dynamic (less "C follows B follow A" + smaller teams - e.g. innovation and some planning).

Have to agree. I'm wearing a Pebble Time Steele and a lot of people like it but don't notice it to be a smartwatch at first sight (depending on the watch face of course).

However, it did not receive good reviews. I guess in part because it is widely accepted that smartwatches do not last more than a day or two and are not well readable outside. Customers and reviewers are blinded by super-high-resolution displays - although you won't watch YouTube on your wrist.

Pebble is functional, the world wants bling-bling.

use.fontawesome.com blocks loading of your website if it's not reachable. Can you move it from <head> to the end of <body>?

And TOS and privacy policy should not require a login ;)

Too bad, Deutsche Telekom is blocking fiber built-up for customers in Germany by pushing VDSL vectoring.

>when there's transience and anonymity, there's a high incentive for people to behave poorly

Sometimes people tend to behave even more poorly if there is no anonymity. This happens when they think that they are morally right in an important area although they are totally wrong. Many racist "this needs to be said" comments are written using real names.

Right now western societies could easily go on with 30 hour workweeks. It would reduce unemployment and people who are working would have more time for their families or to do voluntary stuff. Another idea is a basic income which allows a simple and good life. White old men in suits are part of the problem why there's no real progress on these ideas and education is part of the solution.

This could be great for office users who are mostly using desktop applications. Acceptance for web apps is sometimes still hard to get.

However, I haven't seen anything electron-based with proxy support. Any ideas on that?

How is the public web content different from the public app content?

It's nearly the same in Europe / Germany. However, sports betting isn't really under control here.

The reasoning is like this: Participation in the progress of playing makes a difference. In one case you are just placing money on things other people are doing. In the other case you are placing money on your own actions. For the risk of gambling addiction this is relevant. And it has a lesser (indirect) potential for fraud.
