Sure, and that takes 24 hours to be processed (business days only). And IBANs are not very user friendly. In the US, this is solved by PayPal. Not sure what's taking so long for europe to launch a competitor.

Sure, because any attempt to be morally right instead of pleasing the shareholders is struck down by management. You might even risk to penalize your future career. Most engineers are engineers, not company politicians. That doesn’t mean th

Still, imho it is somewhat cruel that society has simply decided that extroverts can and should force introverts into socializing. "You need to attend this meeting in person because I insist" ist perfectly acceptable, while "

I'm not sure I understand, the APIs are opaque HANDLEs, nothing prevents me from passing a file handle to ShowWindow(), just as nothing prevents me from passing a timerfd to write(), of which neither makes any sense. PowerShell is .NET

In Linux, everything is a file / a file descriptor. In Windows, everything is a handle (except sockets, which are copied from BSD). In Linux, configuration is done via plain text files. In Windows, there is the registry. In Linux, ther

In what way does GCC play any role in cross platform GUIs whatsoever? It’s a very small niche on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Visual C++, respectively LLVM/clang are much more dominant on those, and even then they are barely the r

The legal explanation clearly states it is applicable to highways only. I'm sure 25mph / 40kmh is not the intended way of driving there. So yeah, I still don't believe you that I'd be fined for driving 25mph in an area,

But it won’t if you go over the speed limit? I’m not sure what a self driving car is supposed to do here. Hell, as a foreigner, I myself wouldn’t know what to do.

> It absolutely refuses to drive faster than the speed limits, going 25 on two lane main streets where everyone expects you to go 40. This is not an issue with self driving but rather law enforcement.

True, but no matter the terminal, you still have to deal with either cmd or PowerShell (and its horrendous startup time), "active code pages", and the fact that you cannot write UTF-8 to stdout without it getting messy - you need

Why bother commenting instead of clicking the link and in the main navigation bar pressing the very clearly visible "ABOUT" button?

If you had typed half your comment into a search machine instead of the HN comment box, you would've gotten an answer.

Well, judging by how incredibly many EU citizens emigrate to Switzerland, which is directly caused by the bilateral treaties, there's certainly interest from both parties to negotiate. Switzerland also pays raw cash to the EU as part o

I don't know what point you are trying to make with your snark, but bilateral treaties are much easier to alter or cancel if one party so desires, and public opinion in Switzerland is that they were definitely the right choice and the

Really not trying to be devil's advocate here, but the company is based in Switzerland, and neither Switzerland nor UK are in the EU.

Which is not in itself a natural phenomenon - Spotify for example did not get wiped out by Apple Music or Google Play/YouTube Music. Europe's local Facebooks and Twitters just weren't that good.
