   Iirc at least they claim copyright - whether it would actually be valid I don't know.

   I don't know how to describe it, sorry. Like as if they are all printed on recycling paper, perhaps? They have a touch of grayness? Or perhaps it is "all pastels", as the other comment said? Sorry I am not artist enough to be

   I love the approach, however, the palettes all seem to be in the same style. A bit more diversity would be cool. Any other sites HN could recommend for picking colors? I suck at that. Colourlovers is a classic I know about, but iirc it is c

   Do users really care about being able to customize the design (themes or more fine grained)? I did that when I had my first Amiga. For a while, when I bought a new Computer, I configured Windows back to "classic mode". After the u

   Why would insurance companies prefer higher prices?

   Difficult to find reliable numbers. This one claims about 43% taxes in Sweden vs about 26% in the US https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/briefing-book/how-do-us-taxe... Another question perhaps is who pays taxes - another

   " So the average taxpayer has to buy their own health insurance in addition." How the money is collected is pretty irrelevant (indirectly via taxes or directly by the insurance company or physician). What matters is the overall co

   I have to google for that later. Might also be difficult to compare because of different forms of taxes (income, wealth, VAT, energy...).

    That may be so, but doesn't necessarily imply that health care is more expensive in the US. It's possible that in the US they simply spend more money on useless things, or do more screenings with better technology, for example. Ma

    I find such figures difficult to interpret, though (like here: https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-... ) It could be that richer countries simply have more money to spend on health care, so why w

    But taxes are much lower in the US. Is healthcare even cheaper in Sweden, if you figure in taxes?

    Why wouldn't it be the responsibility of the students to not take out loans for stupid degrees? And also the responsibility of the banks for giving out the loans only for useful studies? I don't see any party here that needs rescu

    Building on garbage dumps might not be the worst strategy, if it can be made safe? Garbage has to be dumped somewhere anyway?

    Thanks - I just wanted to say such services exist or used to exist, didn't remember the name.

    "No, average woman is not attracted to safety of imprisoned males nor to he badness." Nobody claimed it's "average women" who are attracted to prisoners. As for speculations, it seems to be a fact that some prisoner

    Thanks! Wikipedia still mentions Yahoo! - I thought they gave up and switched to Bing years ago?

    How many real alternatives exist, though? DuckDuckGo is based on Bing, afaik. So there are Google and Bing - any others?

    Ever since they injected 70kb of JavaScript into my site, I don't trust Cloudflare anymore. I just checked, and other CDNs seem to be very expensive. I wonder if there are any other ways to defend against DDoS? Maybe looking for a host

    There may be something else at play in that case, not simply "there is somebody to date for everyone". Would actually be interesting to learn more about it. Could be women attracted to bad boys. Or many they like the safety of the
