Uh, what about the yearly production of nuclear waste by the French energy sector? Do they have a long term solution for that? And what about decommissioning old power plants? They’re currently deciding whether to run them another 10 years

One thing that bothers me and is only tangentially mentioned is code formatting. I don’t have particular favorites but I do appreciate consistency but most importantly: when introducing or changing a formatting rule apply it to all the pr

Well it’s a security shitshow and a fav for hackers looking for an easy exploit vector: just compromise it once and voila! All website consumers are at risk. Just a shame there’s no liability for negligently causing users to get infected.

Its not a matter of Private Enterprise vs. Government. Government. As anyone that has worked in Big Corp or Too big to Fail Bank can attest - such a as yours truly - or any Cyberpunk novel about a world run by Megacorps at war, it’s the siz

I’m surprised by your answer. You’re literally reacting but ignoring the rhetorical aspects of my question and its implications. I guess it’s a way to drop the discussion

Most CEOs will read from a PR script at opening ceremonies for events and conferences. Apparently - as mentioned in the article and clarified in other comments here - it was a PR moment in a charitable event he’s been doing for a while. No

Well, seamless... on iOS they just lean on iCloud and dump/backup everything with no way of historicizing. It’s easy only until you’ve hit the iCloud free tier limit

I have a couple sets of cotton t-shirts, about 5-8. Have had them for 5 years already, wear them daily and normally for 1, 2 Max before going back to the wash basket. Cost me perhaps 3€ a piece. I don’t see the need for these wonderfully ex

Well anyone can do the same and you’d be none the wiser. Unless of course you go on and install LittleSnitch or the Windows equivalent, which is something I’m not sure even the all of the HN does bother to do anymore. And then you’re left o

Yeah, I guess we’re just a chimera colony of related organisms. My IMHO, is that the only real cure to this disease(s) will be learning how to disrupt its immune response evasion tricks.

Yeah,and they crumble to bits like Signal is doing right now, breaking the wave of mass adoption. Cynical, profit driven and well funded operations have enough capital to weather these downpours, indeed they’re actually planning for them.

I dunno, but this time I managed to flip 3 of my most active chat groups to Signal. I’m not letting this one go to waste... it’s the chance of a lifetime.

That’a what I meant with “besides boilerplate corporate facade”. Listen, civil rights and social justice are something to be discussed and struggled in the public sphere , which is not corporate life. You US folks have this Corporatism s

Well, two wrongs don’t make a right. :/ I’m an outsider, have no clue about the fine details, just watching the quarrel degenerate from across the Atlantic. Usually this is when adults come in to break the fight, drag the screaming par

Yeah, they’re cowards - a bit - but let’s be honest they’re in the business of making money, not political activism (besides boilerplate corporate facade.) Had they acted earlier they would have been punished heavily by the Trump clique, an

Free speech is about protecting the tolerant from an abusive and intolerant state, not to allow the intolerant to insult and attack the tolerant. A much smarter thinker called Popper came up with an eponymous paradox about this

Well no. I’m stupidly in love with my male son and I assume homo-sexuality is just a behavioral generalization into sexuality of same-sex “aggression de-triggers” and “attachment triggers”. It’s underpinnings are built into successful paren

These features came over time, and there was a time when people lived without. The real deal is the network effect, and managing to mobilize enough friend networks.

Many comments are about how people would love to jump ship and switch to whatever other service. Well, there’s an IM service already deployed to all mobile systems and it’s called SMS. All that’s needed is some sanity in the pricing, some m

I wonder if this has to do with the kind of workforce that infests these big corporations. In my freelancing stints in mega-corps, I often bump into a kind of incompetent and fearful employee, often replaceable contractors processing low va

Some defects can be tolerated and DIY’d away, but roofing, plumbing and foundations are something you really don’t want to discover later.

Well, no. This reaction is what people refer to when they say "loss of privilege" causes reactionary behavior. If you think of it, even when you're not at the top of the food chain in your social order, being part of a domina

No. There’s significant evidence that sudden overnight market manipulation (e.g. setting exchange parity to the eastern and western Deutsche Mark destroyed all eastern consumer goods industries, which were bought for symbolic sums and then
