I don't know about the US but in Europe small farmers are often passionate, and you have to be because you are a business owner earning little money while having a lot to handle and nearly no holiday and leaving far away from everythin

It is actually a problem with the language as well because it is still missing a lot of important things, so releases actually change your productivity and you use the shiny new features because they solve real pains. And this is far from o

The ECB is working on something like that actually.

Your comment is funny because in many countries all people that talk in a national assembly need to disclose their stakes. So yes I can imagine it, because a lot of parliaments work exactly like that. And I am not sure what "both ways&

If you have a reasonably high income, I think the tradeof is actually never worth it, because the marginal happiness from money gets so low. Sure I could buy a yacht but that's not going to make me much happier. Buying a mansion by the

That is only true because targeted ads are possible. In a world where there is no targeted ads, companies still need to get clients and compete. The marketing budgets of companies would not miraculously go down if targeted ads ceased to exi

Libya wanted nukes. They were convinced not to. Now see where they are and compare with North Korea. This is why Iran wants nukes and it is very logical.

Market cap = whatever the market decided at that time, and is determined by offer and demand. The whole book value + discounted future cash flow does not reflect the real stock exchange at all. If that was the case no investor would want sh

I don't get this opinion. Cars are inefficient in space, slow and uncomfortable. How does that replace a high speed train in any way? If anything autonomous cars would be great for train travel as a last mile solution to replace taxis.

Snowplows don't remove all the snow usually because it would damage the road a lot, so you are left with packed snow which is fine to ride on. You can also use studs tires if you worry. I ride my bike in Sweden frequently even with a l

That would be true if income was proportional to your added value to blowback wellbeing. I would welcome a citation on that but to me it does not seem like that would hold at all. The greatest minds of the past centuries and the ones who co

There is no civil forfeiture as such in Europe. The UK and Ireland have a weaker version of the US situation but no other member of the European Union has it. What you are talking about (crossing a border with over a certain amount of money

Email tracking works perfectly with Gmail users. You get get the precise time for when the mail is opened, even for repeated opening. Tested with regular accounts and google workspace. No idea where this rumor came.
164.
by mijamo 6y ago
Gmail does not. And even those who do are not warning you about the tracking part, only about loading resources. Most users will just think that they want to see the nice images and accept and have no idea that it means they are tracked.

It is fundamentally different because when I track and email I know who I'm tracking and I will look at the data on and individual basis. For instance "great, that client has opened my contract email 5 times. Means they are intere

"In Europe" is not really accurate here. In some countries it is actually illegal to do any background check at all apart from the ones provided by the state (you can still check if a diploma is real of course). In some other ther

I don't think you know many people from Latin America. A lot of them will absolutely not like American to refer to the USA only. Especially as the USA imperialism has done so much damage in many places there. It is not as strong as say

But it doesn't solve at all the problem described here. Service API will be just like Ingress in that regard, and no implementation will be shipped by default as far as I'm aware.

What parts of the world are you referring to? In general if you have people with automatic weapons attacking the police, you are basically in a civil war and the army takes over. The police is supposed to be a numerous local presence, not a

Not everything is an asset. You do not legally own the credit card numbers. At most you own the right to use them to fulfill a contract. Just like if I share my screen with an IT support company that does not give them the right to suddenly

Esperanto is not a romance language. It incorporates elements from most european languages families (balto-slavic, germanic, romance), and the grammar is most particularly inspired by slavic languages. And it was pretty much a goal of its c

All games on computer are piratable. On mobile they are not as easy to pirate as you noticed. Do you think the gaming environment is better on mobile? Are dev better paid on mobile? From what I have seen I could answer no to both, and would

It is not the same thing at all. The US copyright is very different from the French droit d'auteur. The Berne convention merely fixes some common ground and minimum protection. For instance copyright can be fully transferred. The droit

Anarchism does not mean no leader. It means no authority. Hence why it is fundamentally different than democracy because democracy implies an authority somehow attributed to the people (directly or indirectly).

Apple must have a better deal than that with Visa, big actors with have a much better deal than what you commonly see, with no fixed fee. I think they must pay less than 1. 5% transaction fee with no lower limit or fixed addition.

Why not? By definition the output does not depend on runtime property so you should be able to compute it at compile time right?

That is the whole purpose of a free economy. It's a race to the bottom only as long as the customer needs are satisfied with the product, which is exactly what's good for society. Sure you might have several stores, so what? It&#x
