I find it fascinating how scientists still haven't definitively figured out how magnetoreception in birds works. Humans have utilized homing pigeons for thousands of years [1], but it is still a mystery as to how it works. To quote a p

I recommend visiting said countries first, as you are very likely to have a warped understanding of the country, its' people and culture before visiting it. Also, aside from very specific cities, learning the local language is a must i

Curious to know, have you ever lived in a walkable European city, like Amsterdam? If not, then on what are you basing your assumptions on?

It happens in EU countries, where it's not unusual for a right-leaning President to elect a left-leaning Prime Minister. Worth noting that a Prime Minister in the EU often has more power than the VP in the US.

This video is politics-free and has been requested for years of fans of the "Linux sucks" series. Regarding his politics I do agree that he fell down the rabbit hole of hate.

Nuclear option? Looks more like a fart to me. Most people in Europe use Whatsapp or FB Messenger, so they don't need Facetime or Apple Messages - major selling points of the Apple ecosystem. Alongside that, only 6% of people in the EU

Glancing at your comment history I can't help but notice that most of your comments are related to defending Apple, even at points where the consensus on HN is that Apple is obviously in the wrong. I applaud you, sir.

Or if you don't mind the larger size and you just need a home server, you can get a used NUC.

I wonder what the impact would be to us (consumers) if there would be pressure from shareholders to increase profits. Will future Raspberry Pies be completely bare-bones unless you pay a hefty premium?

You are stating that languages must evolve "naturally" without explaining why that would be necessary or better. Esperanto was created to erase communication barriers between different groups of people. How is such a goal wrong or

I would instead jokingly say that you would have to pay me to use 1Password. KeepassXC does have collaborative features and online sync if you just drop the Keepass file in a shared cloud - I use it this way and it's easy to set up. Al

Those are some insane generalizations about a population that is 1.5x larger than that of the US. Hard-working people are everywhere, and there are plenty of top-talent people working in the EU and Asia. Also it's worth mentioning that

Someone is salty as hell, chill bro. Also, calling Microsoft a company that complies with EU law is kind of funny. I guess they must be constantly fined due to some prejudice?

> there are no real good reasons why cannabis should be prohibited. Is there any good reason why alcohol should be prohibited? Regulating the quality of the cannabis on the market is a large win for public health among users of cannabis.
