I see a lot of local effort in FinTech and in Health/MedTech. I think it's because both markets usually have a massive amount of local (i.e. national) legislation and bureaucratic red tape, making international solutions less app

Not sure why you felt the need to disagree here. https://i.imgur.com/KHl2ko6.jpg That's how it looks to me in desktop mode. Code textsize like half of normal textsize and linebreaks after sometimes just 1 word. That&#x

Probably a bug. It's centered on mobile, but not on desktop. The code block textsize is also matching the regular textsize on mobile, while it's much too small on desktop. The mobile reading experience is smooth. (tested with Chro

While I would appreciate that, this would be political suicide for the Green party involved in the coalition. While they want a lot less co2 they are also very much anti-fission.

A combined amount of about 500 nuclear warheads sounds like enough for mutual assured destruction or even nuclear winter, no? That's enough to send two warheads to every single city with over 100k population in Russia and then there wo

> Nuclear waste is not actually that dangerous that long. Everyone (including the planners) like to hype it up for their own reasons. Can you elaborate? E.g. Plutonium-239 has a half life of 24000 years. That hardly sounds like "not

Search for Schrems here on HN. There were a couple of articles recently that in effect have this implication. I was surprised too.

So the difference is that the movement of water (i.e. waves) is implied in a Hurricane and that the atmosphere is expanding isn't implied in a geomagnetic storm? So your whole argument is based on our (meaning the general population) l

Sounds like the compiler didn't correctly adhere to calling conventions without an explicit return statement. Wouldn't that even be a compiler bug allowing no return statements, but then incorrectly handling scope?

I found Keychain quite horrible. Everything is or at least felt just too abstracted away so that I don't feel in control of my secrets. Might have been just the UI though. And then it's obviously not crossplatform by default. Sync

As I understood the engineering of the JWST requires it to be at L2 so it's in permanent shadow of the sun and can keep the very low temperatures necessary for good infrared image quality.
