CNN is still here. That's the worst of both worlds: you lose free local press but you still get CNN.

How can mere continuity be worth millions of dollars? Or did you skip a particularly lucrative opportunity? You're right about travelling. Unless you're travelling with a reason or at least knowing people at your destination, it&#

There is a disadvantage for me, because the privacy laws in Europe are stronger than Asia, I lose some privacy protection. Is this a coincidence? Maybe not but some of my accounts have been associated with European Google entities so it w

It seems like all update/stores suffer from that. How can apt update; apt dist-upgrade be so snappy and pleasant to use, whereas graphical frontends seem to hang, spin the fans, return little to no information about what is h

You're trying to mock my comment but schizoid posters on twitter pushing their supplements often do have better dietary advice than USDA. The bar set by credentialed experts is so low, people who likely belong in an institution can cle

We place similar expectations on legal and medical advice We do and received terrible medical advice during the latest pandemic while people trying to correct it were getting banned from social media. We are also reaping results of decade

Needing a license to talk about anything is really stupid. We have seen credentialed experts trip time and again, succumb to industry pressure, form outright lobbies hostile to public interest. While there is some value in credentials for q

There's nothing stopping people from taking a day off individually but it's still a coordination problem. You might want to spend time with other people. Much like setting a market day in medieval towns.

It's being introduced to countries where such measures are new and it's being used within borders. The idea is that venue operators for concerts and other events will be checking your vaccination status. I find that Black Mirror l

That's ridiculous. We don't expect people to get flu vaccines before extending medical care. We don't even expect basic sexual hygiene and extend extremely expensive HIV treatments to people who have tempted fate much, much m

An NGO redeveloping an island and making 650k wires (ok, in three tranches) is not "poor" by any reasonable standard.

Trust with whom? To me acting like an automaton lowers trust. The suggestion to invalidate millions of certs over a second longer validity sounds like terrible judgement.

I use the same certificate for http and smtp on my small personal server since they have the same hostname and it's easier to generate with Let's Encrypt through http.

people and most of all business owners, don't like to be coerced to accept higher market price like that, if the work efficiency and quality of work did not improve This is a very good observation. And smaller business owners often r

The built-in browser password manager is the only one that ever made sense for me. You want the machine to verify the domain for you so you don't enter your credentials into some other site (no copying and pasting) and all third-party

Convenience has been killing fertility for decades. At present rates only Africa is heading for anything like overpopulation and I doubt they'll hold.

Freenode has always been convenient in that you can just join a channel for virtually any open source project and expect it to be there.

> Job postings appear on job boards, but not on the companies’ websites. This is very common for legitimate job offers. And probably makes sense since many companies see almost no traffic from potential hires.

Sure but mass production has made it true for virtually all mass produced goods.

It's not true though, not any more at least. A supermarket pair of shoes is much, much less than even resoling of quality shoes. It's definitely cheaper to just wear them for a season or two instead of buying shoes that might last

Coinbase is down for me. Gotta give it to BTC: it's a great store of value. You cannot sell it in panic, the technology is protecting you from your own psychology.

At this point, I think it's correct. Maybe it's a dark pattern but one so widespread that a link below is where I would look for "skip" and a full skip button would throw me off.

I don't have an issue. In fact, I have over 200 filters for my own email. But it's still interesting why since it underpins the whole post and isn't really explained.

You start lifting to look better, to attract women. You keep lifting for yourself, to get these numbers up. Finally, you lift for no reason whatsoever, because you cannot imagine not doing it. Every one of these steps is great.

Better food, more exercise, more relaxation... but I also wonder if it would have made any difference. Yes. I'm only half OP's age but working out and eating well (well for me means much more) has made all the little aches I sta
