Not true. Making C-level executives of software companies criminally liable with the chance to go to jail did change their behaviour in some recent lawmaking situation (forgot which, sorry).

It just seems more logical for the OS to do that, rather than the application. Basically every application that uses microphone input will want to do this, and will want to compensate for all audio output of the device, not just its own. Wh

At least they still highlight the cancel button, if I interpret the image correctly. I wonder how long that will last.

I guess it's the game of tag ("tag, you're it!"). In Dutch it is called tikkertje ("tikkie, je bent 'm!"); as Old English and Old Dutch were very similar, this may explain the -i- in tig, or at least it ma

The solution is obviously to have a leap second every half year, even when the difference with solar time is too small. Just alternative positive and negative leap seconds, and for additional fun, don't have a leap second when the di

I'm not sure exactly which former ticket they meant, but such an approx. 150€ ticket was probably not just restricted to regional transport just like the Deutschlandticket, but also only valid in a small part of the country. Prices wou

It depends on expectation; in ten years, people may see this as normal.

EDR = Endpoint Detection and Response, EPP = Endpoint Protection Platform. The main difference, I gather from Wikipedia, is that EDR mainly alerts, and EPP actually stops the attack.

Long wave is a frequency band just like medium wave. Amplitude modulation is used on both; it's the same technology, LW needs much larger antennas though. FM is often used to refer to a frequency band, but that is actually called ultra

Most European countries have switched off all their major transmitters, or are preparing to switch off the last few that are left. E.g., in the Netherlands, there are now only low-power hobbyist stations, which will remain I think, but have

How so? It's not encrypted or anything similar.

AM is even simpler and even more robust. I think we never should have switched it off.

That looks like a good way to solve the problem of taking a holiday on state expenses between jobs. One year is a bit on the short side though.

The system in the Netherlands (never been communist) is very similar, although you get 70% for up to two years, and you have to apply for jobs.

So, how has this been resolved? Has the bug been fixed now?

80% of people who can read the article are unfamiliar with Fahrenheit. There is no need for anyone outside the USA and Canada to use Fahrenheit, ever.

Maybe it is, but HN has a broader audience and the title loses context when used here. (Also, I think Fastco should realize that they're being read by English readers all over the world who only know Celsius, but I guess they do measur

When Linux was written BSD was still encumbered by non-BSD-licensed AT&T code. That changed a year or so later.

Good point. The EU was barely a factor in that, if at all.

Okay, so not the device but the Signal app, as I already understood.
