I’m not sure what is common in super high wealth folks like this but it seems to me that 0.25% fee to be told to invest in “index funds and high cap tech companies” is probably not worth it. That’s not to say the guy wasn’t defrauded, just

The GDPR does not care about the specifics of tech. The GDPR does not care if FB has a database column for “sexuality” or if FB never gathers that information directly. All it cares about is the fact that Facebook process personal data, and

For what it’s worth, although this is often considered an Americanism, a lot of regions of the UK (particularly in the North) have consistently used “pants” to mean trousers. https://www.ourdialects.uk/maps/clothing&#x2

I’m just saying, the vast majority of human creative endeavours are not exceptional. The bar for AI is not Tolkien or Dickens, it’s Grisham and Clancy.

As a father with two cats, there are only really two things that have been an issue: food and litter trays. We solved both by putting them into commode-type things (the litter trays were more complex than the food, we had them made speciall

I’m not sure. The bestsellers lists are full of average-or-slightly-above-average wordsmiths with a good idea, the time and stamina to write a novel and risk it failing, someone who was willing to take a chance on them, and a bit of luck.

You can borrow e-books from libraries, but they come with DRM which means that they can manage “loans” and “returns” so they have a nominal number of books to lend out. Quite a good service actually, called Libby. There are obviously ways t

I was considering getting one but your comment worries me. Do you have an older device? I thought the device itself could do the DRM if you threw an acsm file at it?

No. But the bar for “personal data” is very low, and any data that could conceivably be linked to an individual is personal data. I’m not familiar with how this function works, but Mozilla would almost certainly have to work quite hard to a

Good decision.

Gummy worms? In all seriousness though, those “sweet shops” and “Thai massage parlours” and the like are clearly fronts for money laundering. I doubt they’re being ignored, but as you say, there’s probably some reason no one’s dealt with th

There are lots of companies with questionable practices in Hungary. One scam I am aware of is companies that are registered in the names of homeless people whose sole function is to churn out receipts that other companies buy at fractions o

Theoretically, a slashed zero should not have the slash extending beyond the main body of the character, but in practice, especially in sloppy writing (when the slashed zero is more common) it often does. Also when designing a font for some

Think so. It's also (sort of) true where I work (Hungary) if you are a parent of a child under the age of 7. It's not so much an automatic right as the right to request alternative work arrangements (home office, flexitime, etc.),

FWIW, there are lots of comments here calling you a sucker (or saying words to that effect without the name calling), and I'm here to say the opposite. I think it's good that you have an independent sense of what's 'righ

Easily missed, as far as I can tell, the only indication of this is the 'Best of IFA 2024' SVG and a small hashtag at the bottom saying 'IFA 2024'. There are also incorrect implications it seems, that you can order this

Huh? Uber are providing an estimate that taxi drivers won’t. Kind of the whole point of the comment.

On the capital L for litre, that’s a suggested rule (second table), not mandatory. I also agree though, there are things there which are decidedly not mistakes (e.g. “mcg”, which is most commonly used to avoid confusion between a sloppily w

For those in Europe who have a Flying Tiger Copenhagen nearby, their 'Bullet Journal' is a great, cheap notebook (seriously, 5 EUR, compared to 3-4x that for a Moleskine). Dotted, numbered pages. Paper quality is fine, I use a fou

Handwriting recognition is still very hit-or-miss. The best results I've had so far are by running the handwriting through the Google Cloud Vision API, and then asking ChatGPT to fix transcription mistakes. The problem with that is tha

That’s a bit complicated. The difference between синий and голубой is not really a difference in hue, it’s a difference in brightness. It tends to be true that hues tending towards green are perceived more brightly than hues tending towards

I think there's also an element of herd mentality. People I know who use Reddit also have reduced the quality of their comments to similarly inane one-liners and throwaway jokes of a dubious standard. While I have no doubt that there a

It is hard to tell if you are joking here or not, but in case you are not: if the cost of mining is low, the value of mining is also low. The reason for having 'mining' in Bitcoin is to artificially create scarcity in order to sim
