I am not sure about the year 2007, but in 2026, they need to be under your monetary authority somehow. That's why most crypto exchanges do not offer service in Europe. Your monetary authority might have a form or an email for complaint

Is it really that expensive? Many poor places are now having optic fiber for even remote areas. Algeria is having its speed boom ( https://www.speedtest.net/global-index/algeria#fixed ). I have been through some remote p

I rarely use it (you need an account, so I need to add cancel to the url) but last time I had a "guest" account was two years ago and it was pretty much all bots. That being said, some (important) people or companies still use i

GDP should be retired. It has become a very polluted metric. The average american is not making $100k of wealth per year, not even close.

> they expect global war Based on the recent performance of the US and Russia, there is likely no "global" war. China might take out Taiwan and that will be that. Everyone else will just go/stay home.

I think his point is, if LLMs are the future (like computing is the future in the 90s), you should be an LLM-expert (equivalent of becoming a software developer). I can see the point. It's unlikely that a 2.4T LLM will be integrated in

china has something like 50million homeless people. You are seeing the Arasaka quarters. There are much dodgier areas in all of the big Chinese cities (though surprisingly safe as the Chinese are quite docile)

They decided to “nation-state”. The border theory doesn’t hold since colonial nations border each other pretty much everywhere else. The reality is, a nation state (a la french model) is much more powerful than the primitive kingdom structu

Not really. I never had this less issues on Linux with hardware. I remember 15 years back when I wanted to install it on a Desktop/Laptop, many things simply didn't work. Now you can install Linux on a self-assembled box and 99%

People migrate at a different cadence but they eventually do. It happened to me before. You are busy with other stuff and just accept the $xx/month cost until you have free time to do the migration.

It’s not habit. Some people build complex workflows on these and hold substantial data. Moving requires re-building these workflows which is both time and money consuming. Not everyone will have the proper time and capacity to move at a mom

In my opinion, the bubble is very close to burst and they need to move quickly. I have subscribed to Claude today as I wanted to work on some amateurish CLI and then realized how much Opus 5 sucks. Surprised, I checked reddit and found that

You know you could declare your app screen sensitive and then a screenshot requires a face id? Whatsapp also does this shit. You can’t screenshot a conversation (it comes back black). I am going Chinese for my next phone.

There should be some kind of moratorium on new accounts. HN's always had waves of newcomers, but their impact was always limited. The wave passes and people either get filtered out or adapt. That doesn't seem to be happening anymo

The car industry is also a trillion $$ market in the US. I don't see why that would go any differently from the Chinese cars ban.

Do you have even an example of this (one should ask for measurable data openness) or are you just making stuff up? Everything around has/is becoming more closed and I have one example: Reddit. It is not impossible to read without an ac
