I'm a U.S. citizen and veteran working for a company with many customers the U.S. and friends working in every reach of the country. I didn't realize I'm not part of the tech scene because of my location. Alas, I have paid an

I don't believe they need to comply, either. Just stop saying people living in Europe are important. They obviously are not.

Three years was long enough to figure out that they do not actually find Europeans (or Americans residing in Europe) important. Change the text.

Thanks for the advice. To load one of the Google News links took more than 30 seconds on archive.is but eventually worked. Outline did not work with the links as-is. In short, this is not a comfortable workaround, but it is a working altern

Words are free. Stop saying banned customers are great. This is my argument.

I mean, data transfer is not totally without costs. At a few thousand reads per day, a MB or so per read... this is costing up to FIFTY DOLLARS PER YEAR to just... give our content away for free?!

Read the thread. They can keep their news, but it's _pushed_ to me by Big Tech. Then, the news sources have the nerve to say, "Thanks for coming. Get out!" It's the 0% APR that virtually nobody qualifies for at the dea

Coincidentally, the more I think about publishing to HN, the more nervous I get about my own data trail.

I'd love to know how much an American user's data is worth and what percentage of clicks belong to European domains. I know the pervasiveness of the phrase no such thing as a free lunch , but is there really so much revenue lost

Amen. If a court in the EU fines the Bozeman Daily Chronicle, what is stopping the Chronicle from replying, "lol ok." and continuing to not care?

You missed the McDonald's analogy. A burger in every shop in the U.S. will taste the same as any other. It follows the rules of the franchise, just as every site I linked is a cookie cutter website for local news. Each "local&quot

There is a newer SICP (2004) at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7BcsI5ueSNFPCEisbaoQ... The architecture course is 6.004, although it is a bit different than Abelson/Sussman. Abelson focuses heavily on software

It still takes time and money to record videos or collect assignments and ensure legal compliance, privacy, accessibility, etc. which often utilizes student labor, where there's an opportunity cost. That is, students, professors, and e

True, but incomplete. Filtering just EE/CS, there are 30 or 35 courses with full video lectures on ocw.mit.edu (which are all hosted on Youtube AFAIK). OLL seems to have four. Sometimes lectures are linked on a class website e.g. the m

If you are comparing the match to the wanted string, it defeats the purpose of the capture group. if "tarzan" == re.search(r'"tarzan"|tarzan', myvar)[0]: ... Am I missing something?

I live in a German community considering building wind turbines in our nearby forest. The installations in our region usually use Siemens Gamesa turbines and are part of a coalition between industry and academia, and it ain't their fir

No. For whatever reason, basically all political parties in Germany are anti-nuclear, and the country is phasing out their last working reactors next year.

This project has been around nearly ten years. They've sold hundreds (or possibly thousands) and raised well over a million dollars. Looking through their forum, I'd guess they continually identify faulty parts (O-rings, moisture

My boss got me hooked on Markforged. (Caveat, my next home printer is probably a Prusa.) They are ridiculously expensive compared to alternatives, but the printed parts are on a whole other level, as they are a carbon-reinforced Nylon: They

Two simple criticisms or potential misunderstandings: The three nulls in the load segment (between the code and data) are included in both the code and the data highlights as well as its own highlight, which is a bit unintuitive, as the sta

The difference between German's Gift (poison) and the English gift (a present) amuses me. Evidently, they both derive from something being given e.g. a lethal dosage, in the German case. Related: Be mindful when your Denglish tempts yo

I transitioned from Ubuntu to Mac for work. As others here stated, there are often keystroke and click combinations that do perform many tasks a user might want, and it's clear this isn't the main problem. In almost every case, my

Sure. Choose a glue that has the appropriate material properties in all expected conditions, longevity, resistance to all the various stresses, compatibility with both mating surfaces... Then put it in exactly the right place e.g. where the
