Looks like you missed a decimal. 0.9% of 10.00 is 0.09 so the fee is 0.19 euro on a 10 euro purchase.

The author is technical, but apparently the parents are not. “It works for me” turns into “just spy on my family members”.

The point is that you have to turn off preferences and uninstall apps that come with the phone. (Samsung apps and OneDrive are mentioned.) So you don’t have to do this, but if you don’t, you are under even more surveillance and experience

I’m not wasting my time accusing. Downvote, flag, move on. Maybe that’s why you didn’t see any.

You have to connect this to the market or the article. I certainly don’t believe Jane Street is keeping crypto down somehow. What kind of non-conspiracy theory are you proposing?

This argument doesn’t mesh with what I experience in my daily life. Busses go places I care about: two blocks from my work, and to the airport. My US city is dense. Not like Europe, but unless the argument is that major metropolitan areas i

Kind of hard to see how they make restitution, though. (Step 8, willingness to make amends.)

Possibly there should not be a front page article on the topic, though. With a title alleging worse than the facts substantiate.

Look, to make something productive out of it: a job seeker who has high level skills using LLM assistance will be much more valuable than one without the experience. Never mind your current company mangement's policies.

Making the laws apply to the police the same as other citizens is, at least in the US, unlikely. To be this brings in another question when the discussion should be focused on to what extent general records should be open.

A lot of comments here dismiss the study for having a small N. Exploratory research uses small N at the start. This kind of research can have value even if it is not conclusive. Imagine the expense (and dominance of Big Research) if every s

Now it’s not just the government. The commercial data aggregation has also reached eyebrow-raising levels. When private data sources are being used to drive government enforcement actions (ICE), I think the reality has gone beyond Snowden.

This argument justifies CCTV surveillance of all public places. Is that what you intend to be arguing for? In any case, there needs to be more nuance in the discussion than a one-liner. I think the quantity of surveillance matters. When it’

That’s what this ENTIRE conversation is about… the (ostensible) trade off between surveillance and security. In the case of an attack, I’d wish for a gendarme not a recording that would let me relive the experience.

The only error in the whole post. I think it's more productive to ignore that and focus on the important stuff... which is about why this kind of market interference isn't going to work out the way a naive optimist would hope.

Too little, too late. AI scrapers are better and better at acting human. AI scrapers already have a massive corpus; the marginal value of today’s need is low and will remain so long after access is cut off. When they manage to block arch

This kind of nihilistic comment doesn’t do anything for me. There’s always a possibility of problems along the chain. You are reducing your risk not eliminating it.

You forgot the /s I suppose the assumption is that every HN reader follows headline hacking news, which is valid but still I did a double-take at the comment.
