Can't you buy and import from Spain? Or there may be little stores with stock in cities.

Anyone can do a passable jamón. Try an authentic 5J and you will understand the worship.

GPON done properly is much cheaper to operate than DSL or COAX, it's just longer cables, less equipment, less real state, less electricity consumption. Digging cables is what's expensive. You can use telephone poles for fiber too,

Don't you have unlimited data plans in the US? Or local Wimax ISPs?

Well, I can only give a bit of my perception about how I see it and how some people around me sees it in northern Spain (which is not Germany, meaning salaries tend to be lower). Tesla is expensive, and the Model 3 screen in the middle is s

I have an thinkpad x220 with some core-duo on it and 4GB Ram, can't remember, and it really was struggling with VMs. Didn't really cared much to check the specs. Just tried some debian VMs and it was less than satisfying.

2.5 SSD for frequent stuff and USB HDD, you have no more options.

But it's ARM and that poses some problems. For example, you can't put windows into it, and some of my apps are Windows. Also, RDP. I still hope for something so smooth in Linux, using console meanwhile.

Well, but that's not that old. If you have that lying around then definitely.

If you want a poors man home server just repurpose old laptops. I do with a bunch of them and it's fine. I know laptops are not for that, but they wouldn't have any other use anyway, and it's like a server with an UPS built i

So why isn't ACH used widespread?

by iagovar 6y ago
Why don't just copy what's in use in other countries? For example, sending and receiving money in the EU is pretty simple, you only need their IBAN, and maybe their name (AFAIK some countries require it). I'm not even aware o

It isn't rude? How not? I guess we're having a cultural clash here, otherwise I don't understand. When I'm frustrated I try to collect myself and be mannered. It's not an excuse. Communicating properly not only make

I think it's a combination of never having contact with customer support or public-facing jobs and this american thing of expecting employees to be on top of customers. It's also a culture thing. Since you are Greek I guess you ha

I'm with you. It doesn't matter it's a business, if you can't have even the most basic level of courtesy they don't deserve much. I guess most people here in HN never worked in customer support, or as cashier and su

Trying to explain inequality or arguing about the performance of current practices are by no mean justification of anything. Also, it's important to remember that he was fired. And this is central to the whole thing. IDK, that may be v

It wasn't a mysoginist memo, don't be so low effort. He isn't a scientist but he actually bring up stuff that was already being discussed when I studied sociology and AFAIK it's far from being settled.

Probably, but Solidworks is quite well regarded.

by iagovar 6y ago
This has been a common theme. Dassault owns CATIA and Solidworks tough, and they've been used a lot in Europe.

Just for being that guy: AFAIK Netflix has some caching devices that were pretty much home baked with FreeBSD and some other goodies. Can't remember the name, but I know they sit them in exchanges directly to ISPs. IIRC they were only

Don't know much of that. The ISP I work for just buys stuff from vendors and puts interface layers on top of it, which what I work with. I've seen some ground work and people just works with modules. I don't deny the value of

I'm sorry, but what's this? Am Open Hardware RF initiative? Is it just antennas? I'm sorry but the info is all over the place and I'm a bit confused. I'm not native english speaker but I work on the ISP space. It wo

As longs this storm of 'good intentions' it's walled inside the US, I won't care much. I won't comment much on the idea, because well, anyone who's capable of thinking one step ahead can come with some conseque

That's only for subtitles, and somehow if you go into another video, you have to do it again.

Because either you have to pay some native a decent money to make a translation or because some strings are embedded in code?

by iagovar 6y ago
If you speak multiple languages (which isn't uncommon out of the anglosphere) it becomes very annoying to have YT putting subtitles and translating stuff for you. If I want subtitles or translation I should be the one deciding, or at l

There was no option to disable them, and if you are multilingual it's a PITA. Sometimes I became so annoyed that I closed YT. It's not the same effort for my brain to keep up listening to spanish, english, french or portuguese. An
