I am sorry you feel it was a tired and pedantic retort, I might just have misunderstood what OP was trying to say. I was not trying to be pedantic, just to point out that some people (in this case, also OP) think we somehow get healthcare t

The German system is interestingly (but not surprisingly fucked up). In Switzerland there is a mandatory health insurance (which provides for most healthcare needs), but insurances are private companies which charge different prices for the

Absolutely, but OP made it sound that he was baffled that people had to pay for an ambulance. But then again maybe there is an European country I don’t know of where ambulances are provided for free by some car company, fueled through the g

Because you think you don’t pay for your healthcare? As an European, I have probably paid upwards of 150k for healthcare and probably got about 10k worth of it (at what might consider unreasonable prices, mind you). Even in countries with u

I do not have the leisure of digging into Nikon’s financial statements, but I have a hunch that the article linked here is as well researched and grounded as the one you mention. At least that makes them.. consistent?

I see a lot of “technical” reasons being given here, but my gut feeling is that it would also clash with the image Apple is trying to project through its products: tools that are used by individuals to “be creative” and connect to their lov

Really curious to see what turns up. A lot of stuff like geo-data and tools [1], as well as meteorological tools and models [2] were already partly public. Having worked for the federal administration and using their IT at least a few weeks

This looks very cool! I’ll have to patently wait for the HN crowd to thin out before being able to play tho. Considered spinning this off into a service where user can create their own murder mysteries for others to play?

I am starting to wonder if I’m the only one that just types “brew install NameOfThatThingTheyWantMeToPipeInFromCurl” into my terminal as a reflex. It’s already available: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/rye#default

I would argue that it is, but then we are in a typical « he said, she said » territory. I also believe that some of the burden is on the customer when considering a purchase. Nobody ever bought a tractor and then complained it didn’t do 150

I had never heard about the Librem and PureOS, interesting. Microsoft also famously makes tablets that run a desktop OS. I guess my point is that Apple makes it pretty clear from their marketing material that you are getting a tailor made O

Author buys a tablet, complains it’s too expensive, too powerful, and not a laptop. This makes author angry and complain about a whole other range of tangentially related issues. Author should have done their research and bought a laptop in

Viagra was approved in the 90’s and Cialis in 2003, so I’m guessing none of them..

I’m intrigued how it would have made a difference, wouldn’t it be extremely trivial to “clean up” the dataset by just doing a regex and removing all the “+*”. Or are scammers that lazy? Maybe I’m missing something?

I unfortunately live in a small and « complicated » (3 languages for less than 9 million inhabitants) country landlocked in the EU. So in theory I shouldn’t be affected, but in reality either companies don’t care enough to make the distinct

Oh thanks for the correction, I completely misread that phrase the first time around… Morning coffee hasn’t kicked in yet it seems!

For better or worse, that’s exactly what’s going to happen mostly. And as a non EU European citizen, thank you for saying « Europeans » and not « EU Citizens »! We get most of the downsides, but none of the upsides..

To me it seems like « not enough » somehow. €35 million is peanuts to a trillion dollar company. They are just going to end up doing a risk-cost analysis and decide to take their chance not obeying the framework. GDPR fines scale up way mor

I fail to see how this is not a slippery slope argument. A feature was added to a GPL’d open-source project, and said feature relies on a third party (OpenAI) in order to work.

Yes, this version would have been so much more positive and I can picture someone pitching it during a meeting and just being shutdown because « you have to end with the product, not start with it. »

It’s a “get off my lawn” take from someone who has worked in video and film for well over a decade. I have almost never watched a video tutorial an any subject and thought “that was informative and a good use of my time”. As others have poi

One of my worst nightmares, using videos to convey information. It was bad enough with this wave of YouTube “guides” that take eight minutes to explain something which could have been done in a paragraph. Videos are also the worst searchabl

Did exactly the same, moving everything over to Cloudflare took me less than 15 minutes. “We’ll forgive those cases, pinky swear” is not a valid excuse when putting (even opt-in) hard limits in place is technically viable.
