   My telco is most definitely not able to determine which particular restaurant, shop or highrise apartment I visited (I know because I have direct experience with requesting this data from telcos via courts and how precise it actually is). T

   I don't expect anything, I just find the notion of selling without wanting to sell funny.

   But then it's the same people who wanted to "own their town" who are raising the prices for their neighbors, not some alien invaders pushing the poor locals away.

   English is one of only two recognized official languages (in addition to Hindi) of the Republic of India [the federation]. It is widely used when native languages can't bridge the gap between two Indians. edit: s/Indian state&#x

   Prices went up because real estate prices went up because people sold - not the other way around.

   So if they would've rather kept their town, why the hell did they sell ?

   You're just picking something to hate and it's not even correct. It's not true that OS==kernel. The kernel is Linux, and this is replacing the GNU stuff around it with something else. The result is a new kind of OS. But nobod

   I lived through the beginning and was early adopter of laptops as well as smartphones. I had a laptop when others had a 386 PC, and I had a smartphone when others had monochromatic Nokias. I also saw desktops happen - not from the beginning

    You're right it's cheaper than I said. I didn't check for a few years.

    No, we're talking about actual user data. My position is only very small part of the whole story. While my telco can triangulate me, that's not as useful (precise) as you'd think, especially in vertically built-up areas and&#

    Isn't graph theory a very general (and generally used) math concept that is useful in CS, not the other way around?

    Yes, calling any other EU country from the EU costs a lot. 1 dollar/minute and more. The most expensive plans (50+ dollars a month) usually include 100 EU minutes or so, but not many people have these plans. Data costs vary a lot acros

    Yeah they don't bother, but that's illegal and the state is trying its best to force them to scan it.

    That's alright - because that request goes through courts. When the state owns the server being requested, they just read the logs without having to consult a judge .

    Not true. I just spent half an hour googling and otherwise looking for the source code, and it's not published anywhere (Czech version - apps named "čTečka" and "Tečka").

    And the paper has a QR code and the checking application makes a request to a state-run server with its data (including owner ID).

    Well it certainly did not happen in way other technologies happened - smartphones, social networks, laptops, desktops... VR is definitely slower and smaller market right now than these other devices were after similar number of years.

    Asking Google or Apple means asking a foreign corporation, likely through legal means and definitely targeted to individuals, not population-wide. Checking logs of a state-run server is way easier.

    Sorry but this is not pedantic at all. You're saying performance speedup is irrelevant because most time is spent waiting for external services... But that is simply not true if you're beyond just a few servers. Output of external

    You reminded me of my father showing up home one time (around 2005, I was 7-8) proudly showing a random CD. Then after few hours he called to show off a virtual Windows 98 PC running in a window on our Windows XP computer. I was fascinated,

    I don't think they had a gun to their head literally, or that the threat was voiced - but IMHO not many of them would defy the order and definitely would not try to make the project slow down or fail, due to the implied threat of &quot

    At the very least, western educators are coming to them - there were articles about that on HN. https://www.vice.com/en/article/z4m8qx/how-to-teach-computer...
