Yes, but that also means he both goes too far (for people like me who might sympathize with him) and loses the connection with the original issue, creating his own communication problem. Yes, it is good and necessary to show politicians wha

How do I know it's secure against recent security breaches? Apparently the code base has diverged a lot from current Firefox and Gecko, so they can't just apply patches from there. Do they fuzz it, do static analysis, etc.? I gues

On the add-ons page there is "h264ify for Legacy Firefox", so I guess it is.

It may be of the same order, but it is a different thing. No one, not even techies like here on HN, are going to see his actions as valid.

I think it would increase their trust in the phone system if they could, even if they don't use it in practice.

True, but then I wonder how other cities get that high without essentially being a park with a few buildings dotted here and there.

Chinese trains must be quite heavily subsidized. In general, I don't like having to book a particular train instead of a route, just because of the extra mental planning overhead, but with the free rebooking it may be bearable. > i

It's not just influence: French descended from Vulgar Latin, with a lot of influence first from the Gaulish (Celtic) substrate and then from the Frankish (Germanic) conquerors.

Modern PHP, while not great, is mostly okay really. Old PHP I'd rate as worse than English.

That depends on when and how they entered English. A lot of scientific vocab was taken directly from Latin and Greek.

Some of the most obscure English words are essentially Dutch though. There was a test online at some point (see my other comment) that was quite hard for me but got easier at the very highest levels.

78.000 (-2 advanced, -3 grandmaster), pretty good for a second language; the test's maximum appears to be 85.000. The alternatives to choose between appear to be LLM-generated, you can see several patterns ("now" and "fo

Still, apparently Amsterdam somehow doesn't satisfy the 30% criterion at all. Can anyone find detailed numbers? I live there and my street is lined with large trees.

To be pedantic: neither is Switzerland because of Liechtenstein...

Only valid during the two summer months. It's a rather weak simile of the German Deutschlandticket (now 58 euro/month but valid all day on bus/tram/metro and local/regional trains, but not on long distance trains, i

While the finding is interesting, I don't like it that the researchers have postponed publication until just before the solstice, probably to increase public interest.

It's mostly boring. About 50% of comments of HN are about this at the moment, drowning out actual discussion. If someone writes an interesting article using LLM, I don't mind.

Correct. At least, not that I know of. On the other hand, when you move, you must deregister with your old municipality and register with your new one. The exact system differs a bit per country.

Self-reported though; that throws a huge spanner in the works.

I suppose this is about Ayn Rand. I haven't read her books, but from what I hear they aren't very nuanced though.

Interesting, earlier today the page didn't truncate the paragraphs, a minute a go it did, and now it doesn't again, all in the same browser. I haven't found a pattern yet. Edit: looks like the author just fixed it while I was

I would suggest changing the title to the actual title of the article: Adaptive PDFs. Assuming the program works, the PDF will not actually look different to me than to anyone else looking at it, so there is nothing that "changes based
