Debit cards is more common in quite a few places. My impression has always been that paying everything with a credit card is a U.S. thing. Here in Finland, It's not uncommon to have no debt apart from the mortage on one's home.

Let's hope not. They're deliberately trying to get people to take on debt rather than just do card payments, and even simple things like buying a book through a web site requires declining several offers for paying with credit. Un

According to an auto-translation of the report[1], it was aimed at "federal executive authorities": [1] https://rt-solar.ru/analytics/reports/2203/

This proposal (which I find hilarious) is from local politicians in Bucharest and not from the EU. There are already _a lot_ of economic sanctions aimed at Belarus and each time new ones are imposed, it'll be successively harder to do

If compared to DVB-T with far to low bitrates, or streaming over crappy Internet connections, DVD's are far better in comparison. Blu-ray is obviously the better option, but they're more expansive and not always available, especia

Just to add some international perspective to that: were talking multiple capitals, and entire countries being rendered uninhabitable. If ALL of the ice on Greenland melts (which luckily isn't likely here an now, but we're talking

It's not about the survival of Humanity, but rather about global trade disruptions, mass-migrations, and massive property damage on a scale we've never seen. Humanity will be fine, but if it goes really bad then it will cause a lo

Not to mention TV post-digitalization. Nowadays one can't watch TV or streamed videos without getting annoyed over how poor trees, bodies of water or audiences in arenas look due to the compression artefacts. Ironically, I prefer buyin

Great. I was feeling good about myself for managing to pick the uncompressed one, and now I keep wondering if I just got lucky. :D

There's something about the really low tones that simply... changes at lower bit-rates. High-frequency tones are somehow clearer when uncompressed. It feels like the tones are right, but the waveforms distorted. Your rippling lake MPEG

Yeah, I'm always amazed when I end up looking at the Arch wiki for a Debian issue, simply because the Arch wiki is more relevant and up to date.

Yeah, there's been a lot of talk about mail admins simply dropping all packets from Sendgrid's range. At least one of my customers assign a higher spam score to mails simply because they're from Sendgrid.

Isn't Sendgrid still blocked by half the Internet because of all the spam from them?

Luxembourg is also a tax haven, AND extremely small compared to France. The costs of free public transport in Luxembourg is tiny both in actual numbers, and as a fraction of their GDP.

For many U.S. businesses I'm sure it's pretty much irrelevant. For others, not so much. That's why you see some U.S. businesses complying with EU directives, while others simply block visitors from the EU.

As for the scale of replacement, I think there are many who don't realise how major the shift from ICE to electrical will be. We're talking about large changes in everything from critical national infrastructure, the job market, l

Well, it does indeed look like an elegant solution to the problem. Why don't you sum it up nicely in a blog post and submit it to HN?

If Long Pepper is anything like Black Pepper, then quality will vary greatly depending on where you get it from. Great, now I need to order at least two bags...

I'm not sure why this is surprising. International businesses are accountable for their operations in different countries when operating internationally. I can't see why that wouldn't apply to social platforms.

Oh, being completely alone would raise far more questions than I'd like to think about. Terrifying? Perhaps, but definitely mind-blowing.

This. The foremost example being EULA's and warranties in countries where the law gives consumers far more rights than the copy/paste legalese texts that everyone accepts at installation/purchase.

Amigans. It's a small but very tenacious community.

There were about 10k hard-core users left a few years ago, and many have multiple Amigas. There's probably at least as many (probably many more) enthusiasts with working hardware, and a ton of people running UAE and the like.
