There's also Linux Vserver (2001), which used to be included in Debian, but is still in use today.

I'm curious, do you translate the multiple dimensions to a fully normalized relational structure, or do you also use complex structures like JSON inside the backend database?

Looks nice. Does it support update and insert operations on views (using INSTEAD OF triggers)? That's a feature that led me to DBeaver, which I'm liking a lot.

QGIS could be interesting. It contains tons of functionality, and interfaces with multiple other geospatial projects.

The protests are related to regulations for nitrogen emissions, not greenhouse gases. So it's not related to this "demise" nonsense. And if there should be a demise -- well, the Dutch contribution to global GHG emissions is a

btw, maybe Mechanical Turk could help with the captcha part?

Just solved a bunch of captchas, but Chrome crashed a few times during. Due to the addon?

Also, absence of a counterfeit notice does not mean the product is necessarily genuine. It seems to me that actively preventing counterfeits would entail much more than responding to notices.

Of course if whistleblowers weren't routinely completely destroyed by the state he might have chosen that path instead.

Wait, I thought Blendle recently switched from pay-per-article to a subscription model (in which you only get to read selected articles)?

I second Hetzner. Their smallest VPS has been reliable for me and is even a bit cheaper than OVH. More importantly, should something go wrong or you have a question, you can expect a quite fast reply.

That's exactly what I was saying with "and is currently trying to arrange for exceptions." The EC could allow exceptions, but they haven't yet actually allowed for them.

My fundamental concern is the scale mismatch. If you notice the problem locally, it can be very hard and potentially impossible to address it locally, because EU-wide regulations increasingly take precedence.

But that's not quite the problem we appear to have here in NL. There's a law whose basic intent is that you cannot use volunteer workers for what should actually be paid work. Here volunteers do almost exactly the same work as pro

The problem is that this exception is not currently in place, and that it is still uncertain if it will be possible to implement. The fact that the European Commission has previously disregarded this specific concern despite attempts to hav

I will admit I did not read all 212 pages of the regulation. I doubt you did. I'm trusting here that the Dutch minister of agriculture is being accurate in her letter to parliament describing ongoing issues [0]. 0: https://z

There's plenty of generalizations and simplifications of issues, and in a few newspapers the tone is generally more critical of the EU. But most mainstream newspapers are actually quite pro-EU in general.

Yes it's due to laws and regulations. It's all part of EU labour law. See my other comment.

Speaking as a Dutchman. The news that was reported here was accurate. My reply on another comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21124780 : 1. I should have said "impossible" rather than illegal (althoug

But small numbers are judged to be low risk, the main health problems have to do with concentrated commercial chicken farming.

1. I should have said "impossible" rather than illegal (although the consequence is still that it would be, well, illegal under EU law). That's the implication of what was reported in the Netherlands. For those who read Dutch

Thanks for the background regarding the firefighters. As for the chickens: you are linking to what look like current regulations in Germany. At issue is the Animal Health Regulation ( https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content&#

I read about it in Dutch news, which also mentioned that other countries also have volunteer firefighting forces, but I didn't look up their numbers. Various officials here said it would have big implications and keeping the system as

It's because there is a strong tendency for EU overregulation. This one sounds good to me in principle (I don't know about the implementation). Recent examples: it will be illegal to have voluntary firefighters. In the Netherlands

If there's one vendor I'd trust over any others it's Nootropics Depot. They do all their testing in-house, because it is much more reliable than 3rd party lab testing. The owner frequently gives extensive insight into how the

Yeah, a phone for emergencies is sensible. I mean they don't get to take their smartphone with GPS.

Of course in a proper dropping you're not allowed to have a cell phone. There's got to be some challenge in it.
