I remember back in the day when I made the mistake to use Facebook and iPhones that a) Facebook never actually deleted anything and b) iMessage was also not deleting (but both were merely hiding). This is why in this part of the world we ha

In those good old days my Uni was giving away those bulky Unix "manuals" (after every major upgrade they were refreshing the documentation/dossiers) and they would leave on a table a few dozens of the 'outdated' one

Well we did this for the bags (put a high price on them) and banned some others (e.g. straws). My fear is that taxing plastic items more (let's say of VAT is 20%, plastics could get 35%). Then our dear politicians on Year4 will pass a

I too am a Ramsey 'fan' and I appreciate his methods. And seen the title I wanted to write the very same, Yes!!! I've also worked in many banks in my life and feel that giving 1% and taking 25% interest is insane. Pay every l

US has never been "good". Listening to Sachs and Measrheimer they keep saying (in these or other words) that "you know a US president is lying because their mouth is moving". Microsoft is just one more cog in the power-h

It is there, it is online, it can scale 'in seconds', it can be reached by many (if necessary) and it is easy to update (with great care and testing so it doesn't break 50% of the customers business/game/etc). So, w

I was just checking the combo he is using [0] (River 2 Pro + 220W solar generator) and it's currently at USD 619. In the post, the author sums it at USD 780. I assume price dropped because of newer models, etc. [0]: https://

You are preaching to the choir here :) My point is not for "us, the techies" and privacy-oriented people. My point is clearly for the 50%-60% that think that "we are trying to take their precious WhatsApp from them" and

Whataboutism is a great hobby, right? To the point of Altman, I keep writing in HN that 'where money can be made, money will be made'. Of course he will lie. And of course he will tell the truth. He will pick the right thing to sa
