> If companies want to know why they can't regain trust and aren't given the benefit of the doubt, it's because they cannot be honest in situations like this. PR in the 21st century is about communicating how you have in f

Oh and then there's also czernina, which basically is a soup made of duck blood.

Barszcz is one of the most traditional Polish foods as well. I guess it's a slavic thing.

In Poland we have zupa (soup), barszcz (borscht) and flaki (which is similar to your ciorba I think).

I can't believe it hasn't listed the Polish "żur" (or "żurek"). It is a soup made of soured rye flour, served in a bread bowl. Utterly delicious. For me it is, by far, the best traditional Polish dish (and soup

It is great news for Berlin (and Brandenburg) as it will bring (big) money and attract talent. It might even attract people from Poland which is only an hour drive away and has a large pool of very talented and experienced engineers. So far

Does it work with spoken word as well? My use case: improve podcast quality by extracting the vocals only, and leaving out all background and accidental noise.

It goes both ways. If you can afford to spend this (crazy) amount of money, you can pay for Apple Care as well.

Yes, really.

It's a shame they sold out so quickly to US investors (I think they are even officially incorporated in the US now?). They could have become Europe's largest software company, instead they chose to follow the money. To be fair, I

Wrong decision. Nobody wants to update their browser this frequently, and the release overhead is a constant factor. So you're basically having a lot less productive time where you actually produce value. But hey, not my call I guess.

Nope. Only after our software reached a certain amount of features (compared to our competition, mainly) did we start to experience real growth. Our customers would not accept not having some features because the fewer features are so great

I wonder if in some jurisdiction Google shouldn't pay money for forcing people to train their AI. I imagine it could be possible to do that in Germany, or under some EU laws.

No, new buildings are desirable because they're new and will always find buyers, especially if built in a nice neighborhood.

I was going to make a snarky, sarcastic comment about this by writing: "yeah, what could possibly go wrong?". Now that I think about it, it's a genuinely interesting question: what could possibly go wrong?

Spanish bars truly are a perfect example of a race to the bottom, when it comes to prices. Sure, the financial crisis hit the country really hard, but trying to attract customers by lowering prices is not the best strategy in the long term.

Question for the HN crowd: is your company using, or have you used Salesforce? On what scale? What kind of business? Was it worth it? Did you enjoy the experience? Does it make sense for smaller businesses? I have considered it for my compa

I have to agree with this. One thing I miss the most after realizing I didn't believe in God and after I stopped going to church (= being part of the community) is that I had a lot harder time to find a group that I truly belonged to.

In a way, it is less evil. It has not been caught selling user data the same way FB has. It does not have the same reach / social control, since it's never managed to create a social network with enough traction. Still, some contr

Everything exists by now. Every single idea that you might have has been tried already. Your next startup is not going to be the first doing what it does. Believe me: it’s not the idea that makes a great project / company. It’s the exe

Wasn't there a study that demonstrated that most males would imagine a person always being male first - unless the opposite would be proven?

It doesn't matter! I could be doing anything, ANYTHING, and it'd still count as working hours. If the company doesn't want you to waste time traveling, you shouldn't be traveling.
