He didn't buy Twitter to make money. He is buying power, and especially political power. He is already the richest guy on Earth and will stay among the top 10 whatever happens. He has nothing to prove as an entrepreneur and CEO. Being

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll consider it. I have to try if the my bank web site works good enough in a browser.

After hesitation, I opted to go full on the "privacy above all" path - out of curiosity if it was possible and bearable. So no root, no GFS or substitute at all. Only tracer free apps (except my bank) and using browsers. I use a s

Reddit is likely your friend on this. I got many answers to my Lineage questions on reddit. All were already answered in fact.

How do you manage the battery? I would be afraid of a fire after x years being on all the time. Note that I have no specific knowledge on the subject ; it's quite possibly a fear without any reasonable ground. But I had a cheap speaker

Try FIP radio. "In September 2017, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey said that he regularly listens to FIP and that he considers it to be the best radio in the world." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIP_(radio_station)

The rule of law applies to a government as well as any other body, organization, firm or person. That's the most fundamental difference between a democratic country and authoritarian & tyrannical regimes. You can sue the US governm

"forced"? You are forced if you are tortured to do so or at the minimum risking long time in jail. Were Binance founders, executives or employees subjected to such unbearable pressure?

Being a binational, I can't help noticing that, once again, as long as "nudity" is censored or "under control" - then the children are supposedly safe. Not that pornography is not a true problem. I really think it d

I'm not sure to get your reply right, but just in case: we don't vote electronically in France. Some companies are lobbying for it, of course, but they propose "solutions" for a non-existing issue. Some very few cases of

Depression goes hand to hand with self-help as major themes on HN: two faces of the same phenomenon. As already mentioned but worth it repeating, most self-help advice, in posts or books, are without ground. Only experimental psychology can

Yes, NATO of course, I often get lost between my languages. I had no idea of the water dimension of the Crimean issue. Btw, just to be clear, I'm not at all at ease with the very idea of leaving Crimea to Putin: it's an Ukrainian

Yields are factually decreasing. As just mentioned, because natural disasters are broader, more intense and more frequent as the result of climate warming; that's why I pay attention to say "climate dereliction that the IPCC sci

You're missing... time. Like us all. The required transition requires time. But the kind of transition you mention is by far too slow to stop climate dereliction and loss of biodiversity. In 2025, the amount of greenhouses emitted will

The EU just told Zelensky not to touch the pipelines, otherwise Ukraine would loose support of many European countries. Since the start of Putin's criminal invasion of Ukraine, the EU has paid 35 billion euros to Russia and send about

I almost agree with you but North Vietnamese as liberators... It's a bit much. The Vietnamese wanted independence and the refusal of France and later the the intervention of the US into the Vietnamese internal politics led the Vietname

Elon, is that you ?!? The space programs are not annual programs. Let's check with Wikepedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_of_NASA In the recent years, the NASA budget is around 0.5% of the Federal Budget.

Yes, I meant we as human beings, but in some places, the pronouns really points to us on HN who appreciate the value of science and technologies. About coming to an agreement on the global stage, I admit this is almost impossible. However,

In my understanding, oceanographers complain of the huge lack of data and therefore knowledge of the oceans. They are surveying, but at a scale far too limited to be able to model that complex ecosystem. My point is not to stop the current

My point is to not build new nuclear centrals. France should maintain its current centrals so that no coal is used and as little natural gas as possible. Recycling solar panels (and other stuff used to produce renewable energies) is a real

It's indeed backfiring. However, Poland and Hungary are on a dangerous path towards authoritarian regimes. Hungary's government is Putin's puppet. It's Prime Minister agreed to pay Russian's oil and gas in roubles.

I'd love it. Far-right conservative minds should be all for it: let's get back to the climate of the good o'd times of slavery! Yiiihhaa! Trolling apart, let's not forget biodiversity. Climate warming is one of the main

I agree but I think it is important to proclaim officially that we are about miss the +1.5ºC. The effects are global warming, e.g. climate dereliction and loss of biodiversity are becoming more and more obvious. We need people to make the c

The good thing is that there is an independent Authority which decides if it is safe or not to extend the lives. For once, it is truly acting as supposed, forcing the nuclear operator to make the current maintenance. I really think that ANR

It may be a depression. But an existential crisis is possible without a depression. We change over time. Our ideas evolve. At some point, what we have been doing may seem pointless. Time to take another path to find purpose, meaning and&#x2
