I was thinking something similar earlier. I am huge fan of youtube and the incredible content and creators on the platform. If it was not owned by Google, I would probably happily pay 50 bucks a month for an ad-free and tracking-free experi

I've driven in a lot of counties and I can confirm NL is easily one of the best.

> Beeper Mini made communication between Android and iPhone users more secure. That is a fact. It seemed like it would make spam and scamming over iMessage worse. At least it requires an Apple Id now.

To be fair, getting all those scientific library binaries compiled and installed was a huge pain even before python came around. Python's toolchain made it better, but only marginally in some cases.

Within the python ecosystem, I find httpx to be more similar to curl, and requests to be more like wget. For example, when following redirects or handling connection issues.

My favorite use of uBlock Origin is opting-in to allow javascript per site. I miss this functionality on moble.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for autonomous vehicles, but to be fair, there are many things that could be done to improve road safety without self-driving tech. Personally I love the independence and self-determination that comes with drivi

There are still a few, e.g. https://halide.cam/ But if you are successful, there is a chance of getting sherlocked, so its a risky business model.

Your reply comes right out of ECON 101, and is broadly speaking correct. Still, you've missed the point. Let's use your example, Microsoft. Companies have different incentives than communities or countries, but I think we can make

Taking into account the most economical outcome in the short/medium term also can make your country or community poor in the long term. If you care about the future of where you live, its important to cultivate and support local indust

Yes, it's definitely more than 1:10 overall. But those reasons to leave the US (unhealthy work load, less social safety, higher violence) are at the top of many people's minds when they move to Europe.

Some dutch people peer-pressured me into trying Rivella ;) Dutch children love their bottles of apple juice and dutch teens love a can of chocolate milk, but I have to agree that the portion sizes of these are less than half of what you wou

On the other hand, I know dozens of people that left their life and higher salaries in the US behind to come to the EU for those stated reasons.

I tried removing sugar from my diet at one point. My sense of taste changed, some varieties of apples became too overpoweringly sweet to enjoy.

I'm sure they won't make it easy. There will be many warnings and scary prompts about external apps being untrusted. Definitely not installable with a stray click.

Not GP, and fully agree that having the option for side-loading would be a largely positive thing for users and the software community. But one counterargument goes like this: When you relax the rules, larger players will be able to leverag

Haha you are right that I typically am working within 30 feet of an outlet. But not usually seated within 6 feet of an outlet. Maybe we can invent wireless power to go along with the wireless ethernet? Personally I would prefer to just use
