Before gloating over the planned law, check the background and recent record of those promoting it.

Bad plan. The problem is not have someone pay for the disposal, but delay disposal for as long as possible. And the ones who make the decision for the disposal are the consumers. Having the manufacturer pay a tax in advance puts little pres

Is there any unbiased analysis of the implications of the WhatsApp change of policy? The most popular HN story on the subject [1] tells us little about that. As far as I can tell, the TL;DR of the change is that your WhatsApp identifier wil

Huge bummer. It would be nice though if the FAQ included a short technical explanation for this limitation, similar to how it explains "Why does Unclack need Accessibility access?".

You've also missed passive erosion. Obviously, specific numbers can't be given because the effect varies with the specifics of each beach. But it's not really rocket science, at least if you have ever lived close to a beach.

Do you know if/how GOG.com copes with the different bugs in SC4? If they haven't implemented those fixes, you may even have a better chance talking with them rather than directly with EA.

Build 20-30m further inlands. Perhaps also plant some trees or bushes at the end of the beach. But no, that won't do. The rich folks need to have the sea at pissing distance.

The beach erosion is accelerated by the presence of walls [1]. In general the regulation of seaside buildings is extremely lax in the US, and this takes a toll on the beaches. As a counter-example, in Greece seaside houses must be built at

I'm afraid the initial decision may as well be a staged attempt by the UK to save face, so they don't appear to the rest of the world as a spineless lackey of the US. The US is really in no hurry to get their hands on Assange. The

Third-party exFAT support did exist before 2019, but vendors had to pay a licence fee to Microsoft. Apple apparently paid the fee. Regarding Linux, exfat-utils only provided limited functionality. The kernel mainline lacked a native exFAT d

Yes, drown somewhere in the text, and apparently not important enough to mention in the TL;DR.

TIL: In 2019, Microsoft released the exFAT [1] specs to a large group of vendors [2], including prominent Linux vendors. I.e. exFAT should now be preferred over FAT/NTFS for media used across different operating systems. [1] https:&#x

Buku is great, but the browser extension still feels barebones (unless I've missed anything). I'm particularly bugged by the complete lack of auto-completion. E.g. when I tag a new bookmark as #devel, I would like to be offered su

That's probably the source of the continuing use of generic she in crypto. But e.g. in crypto papers, the use often extends beyond the examples involving Alice, Eve and Mallory.

That's a generic she [1]. In recent years the generic she is becoming more rare, with people usually preferring the singular they [2]. Still, somehow the generic she seems to remain popular when discussing crypto-related topics. [1] h

Do you have any references of English actually being phased-out in EU? The Politico article was written just a few days after the Brexit referendum, and 4 years later I can only take it for empty sabre-rattling.

Practically, not choosing China at this moment is impractical, to say the least. But I would applaud sites doing teardowns if they started cataloging the provenance of the major components used in each product. This would be a first step to
