Vienna, Austria - Friday around noon, multiple supermarkets, urban Water: didn't notice (tap water is perfectly fine here), but pallets of canned beer, soft drinks or energy drinks (???) in nearly every shopping cart. Food: no "pa

I think I know the pomodoro technique quite well, but as others have mentioned I am as well at a total loss how I could use this calendar/template to improve my workflow. It seems just a habit tracker and the only Pomodoro specific par

Thanks for the explanation. I understand that there are other legal reasons allowing storage and processing of (some) PII in (some) cases without given user consent. But does that fit for "scraped PII"? I'd be very sceptic gi

Could someone downvoting bilekas comment please eli15 why his comment is wrong? I'm under the impression that this is exactly the GDPR position: You are not allowed to store and process PII if you don't have the consent of the per

No, its only public if you choose to disclose it. Phone numbers are PII (personal identifying information) in regards to the GDPR.

The criticism is that the iPad isn't better than a PC? Neither is a hammer or a saw ... but both are used professionally every minute. The iPad is a tool. Would someone argue that a hammer is flawed because it only can be used in some

Slightly off topic, but I often wonder why there is no backlash on print media regarding the environmental aspect of this whole publishing industry. Most books are mass-printed, shipped to warehouses, then shipped to local sellers (or e.g.

I seem to miss something here? If RDS went from $0,465 to $0,342 per hour as shown in the table, that’s roughly a decrease by one third in cost for me. Where does the „suddenly doubling the cost“ part come from? Isn’t it that the total cost

Most computer users aren’t hardcore users. Of course not scientific, but I know a lot of users that are intimidated by strange FN keys and are glad the touchbar clearly labels the current function of the virtual keys. We as HN crowd and har

If you could run an old Adobe offering for 6 years, why do you feel forced by Apple right now to upgrade your OS (and hence SW)? Couldn’t you easily stick to Mojave for two more years - or run Mojave and your old SW in a VM? I don‘t see how

Recommending Hetzner Cloud as well. They had some connectivity problems 6-12 months ago, but seem very stable in the last months. They provide backup and snapshot features, floating IPs, internal networking and mountable volumes as well - w

IIRC, at least the Amazon EC2 free tier is limited to the first 12 months. There was a point at which I got billed for the instance that was free before.

Why would an actor use Apple as a target vector? It is much easier to get location tracking thru the mobile service providers. They have the location data in real time and can’t deny that. It’s done thousands of times a day all over the wor

Nice work. But I would suggest to add a feature to report wrong tags. Perhaps that could even lead to optimize the classification AI or you could at least review the suggestions and delete wrong tags manually?

Wouldn't the slowness of the courts and the lengths of processing lead to virtually no protection at all? If going through the courts takes sometimes 3+ years but parents expire after 1 year, every final court ruling would be retroacti

Honest question: If Apple would integrate an AI-based speech-to-text feature in the next iPhone as an accessibility feature that works for all audio captured by microphone or generated by apps, would that be seen as copyright infringing? Wo

To give another perspective: I bought a used iPhone SE about a month ago and was worried about battery health because many sellers didn‘t mention it. After passing some more shady offers I found an SE for cheap (around 100€) that claimed 95

To be honest, I prefer the "sharp" edges over the slippy rounded ones of the newer models because it gives a better grip. Your mileage may vary but I don't feel that old design uncomfortable.

If you‘re Apple and only want to buy businesses that make „a lot of money“, you‘re pretty limited. Most oh so successful and profitable companies are only making nickel and dime in regards to Apple. Why pay top dollars for that?

Citation? As far as I know, there is no limit for paying cash in Germany. To fight crime, you have to show an ID if the amount is 10.000€ or more. In some other European countries, there are limits for paying with cash, but I don‘t think it

Companies want proven systems with a lot of available support/know-how. Employers want systems that don't need much training for new employees (at least on the OS level). Most private customers don't care about user-serviceab

Simple question: Why? In detail: Why should I pay for someone redirected ramdomly to my site when visiting another homepage? Why would a visitor of startuptwister want to be rediected randomly? Why the need for Ethereum? Seems to me as an o

Why do you think terrorists use (algorithmic) encryption in common communication channels at all? There are so many ways to transport a hidden message in plain sight that using encryption itself might give intelligence a hint that terrorist

You could try a browser called iCab Mobile. This app has an option "Increase text size" for web pages that works with HN (just tested it myself).

It seems to me that not Apple is forcing you to go wireless, you just don't want change. If I look around me in the streets, I see more wireless earpieces (not only from Apple) than wired ones in use. Looks like the mainstream loves go

Funny you mention that. Because my experience is different: I often have to wade through shady marketplace offers with hundreds of fake reviews and paid ads. I have to dig deeper or explicitly search for AmazonBasics products to even find t
