They don't really explain what the digital yuan is here. If you have "smart contracts" to pay on delivery rather than paying in advance with a bank loan. How does this work? Won't companies still need to generate revenue

Sublime is what I moved from Notepad++ from. It has good extensions and is very fast. These days I use Visual Studio Code. It's separate to Visual Studio. Code is open source and runs on Linux and OSX as well. There's a ton of ex

There needs to be two lists of contacts. One which I allow to be shared with apps And another which are my contacts I use with my dialer. People don't need their messenger apps knowing the phone number of their doctor

It can make a significant impact. My healthiest was when I lived in a small town of 30k people. Everything was walkable. So I walked 30 minutes to work and back every day. Went to the town centre for shopping and carried it back. Put on a p

I remember reading on HN someone saying that China had banned trading and mining of crypto. Is that true? With a lot of crypto activity happening in China, would a crackdown there cause a fall in the market?

Anyone know what happened to Winamp? They got bought by a company who said they were working on another version, and then nothing.

I presume the Facebook perspective is that they feel they have no responsibility except for the lightest touch. You can see that depending on the country they either are quick to remove or very slow(100+ days plus) or not at all when it com

There's an option to report an incompatible site in Firefox. They have a list of sites which user agent sniff for Chrome but work perfectly fine in Firefox. For those sites they add a rule to pretend to be chrome.

Lol. Today it seems people who use the phrase "far left" refer to people pointing out racism/sexism. Seems like there's people even calling The New York Times far left these days. Whilst 40 years ago it was workers strik

But you think that's not a problem? That fake accounts that signal boost support for political figures is fine election campaigning?

It's an article about governments creating fake facebook pages posing as people to influence political debate on facebook. Detailing how it works and as well as how slow facebook are to respond. What is sensational about that? Unless y

What is illegal between nations? Countries may be part of the UN but they're not regions of a global government. What you're describing are acts of war.

No DeX still exists. What Samsung had was a a beta of running a Linux distro in a kind of isolated container on Android. This also let you boot into Ubuntu 16.04 with external display and use things like VS Code. Google changed something in

I'm not familiar with Java programming. Does this mean that Oracle has decided that Java 8 is the last consumer version of Java? Or like you've said that applications shouldn't use the OS level java installation?

Sometimes people think you need to be the best to succeed. Sony likely made millions off MiniDisc even if it didn't win in the end.

They don't need to be separate. It's just that Apple and Mozilla are not the majority steerers of the development of the Web. Chrome have stated that they won't do anything to prevent fingerprinting for example.

So you're having a different debate to what the article is about. Do you think it's wrong for twitch to ban people for: "terrorist activities, child sexual exploitation, violent extremism, credible threats of mass violence, c

Are there any anti virus for Linux that does that heuristic type scanning that you see on windows? Like monitoring for an unknown application doing esoteric things? I presume there's some sort of security software in this space for ser

Right. So the EU is not allowed to create a site to inform their ministers to correct these lies. Because the EU have to play by some rules you've made up.

"Pubs, darts – Commission plans to outlaws darts in Pubs, Jun 1993" Ah right. So this isn't a true/false statement. But a statement of values. Thanks for clearing that up
