I simply thought jurisdiction would be relevant here. The EU can make whatever rules it wants to cover its own citizens, and beyond that - they can't enforce them.

IANAL, but can't they just word a disclaimer and checkbox? Something like: "Our European visitors are important to us... but the cost of GDPR-compliance for a US-focused site is high. For your own GDPR protection, we advise you no

The "norm" is also... shit. Just because it's what's "always" happened before, doesn't mean we can't do better. This being the case is the very driving force of any innovation. Your statement seems li

Maybe, it depends on your opinion of the established safety profile of Ivermectin prior to its attempted maligning. It's a fair comparison to this commenter.

by argvargc 5y ago
Huh? Ivermectin has been in use for decades and administered in the billions of doses and had only a handful of associated deaths in that time. How to safely dose it is extremely well-known and established. If you look at any vaccine adve

Exactly. Just because someone doesn't dose something correctly, doesn't mean there is necessarily anything wrong with it. Shall we ban water? Sometimes people don't dose that correctly either, and drown. What a dangerous subs

That a widely-disputed "leader" is "promoting" a treatment in a country as diverse and with as many systemic issues as Brazil, has no necessary bearing nor indication of that treatments actual use or resultant efficacy.

You don't seem to know what you're talking about. The mechanism by which Ivermectin works does make sense, and has been well-established. Look up any of the many binding studies on pubmed for example. Regardless of this, the resul

Yes. And as is often the case, those unaffected or unaware have difficulty empathising with sufferers. (And so on it goes with anyone disadvantaged for any reason in society.) Most major purveyors of UI have somehow recognised the importanc

I find it offensive there's no dark mode. It's discrimination against people with a vision disability. It's a small and insignificant change on their part, could be made in 5 mins.

Big tech Co. deletes/censors half its users then scrambles to update to a freemium model to try and stay afloat. That'll be $2.99 well-refused.

I'll do you a deal: Put 5% of that 2 million into a spread of the top 10 crypto by market cap. After a few years, and despite some of those coins going to zero, you'll likely have done way better than just the 50% you'd have

Normally when a project with such goals is posted on HN, it's usefully torn apart, security & privacy-wise. While in-depth details seem light, is the absence of such criticism a positive indication regarding the integrity of its ba

Yes. And I'd add the "hype" around speculation works both ways, coming from mainly from two camps: - those who care only about making money - those who care only about seeing crypto fail OTOH, the excitement and bustling acti

Politicians have also shown again and again they don't understand what they are voting for, and/or don't care. Caring about the outcome is at least an improvement.
