I thought only the domain name was seized though ? Couldn't one make a backup now bu connecting using ip address, or an alternatie DNS server

Wait you mean those "checkmarks" are free?

Might require changing some parameters of the browser / tweaking it a little or getting an older version, because nowadays browsers have a flag that says "hey, I'm being automated!" But other than that, I don't see

But there are sites that explivitely ask for a "local" phone number. Maybe their automated sms system can't send to foreign numbers ? I' pretty sure that's how banks in the us operate Anyway in that case, the front-

1. I took it as a comparison 2. No, that’s not the argument I’m making. If someone steals the money on your bank account, you still lose a quantifiable amount of that money. Your private property is being taken. If someone infringes on your

That's not a metaphor. Copyright infringement/ ip violation is not theft. When an item is stolen, you lose it. When your copyright is infringed, you may not even know it happens. A lot of defenders of copyright often liken ip vi

Newpipe is another good alternative client. Bypasses ads, plays audio in the background, allows downloading videos and even subscribing to channels without an account (the app simply monitors updates on that channel)

This is weird though: if Google news delisted every newspaper from Spain, wouldn't that lead to Spanish users ditching Google news (and finding an alternative)? It's not like they're interested in non-spanish news

Not sure this would significantly bring housing prices down, it may simply bring homeownership down (in favor of rental), because only investors would be able to buy.

Doesn't pulseaudio solve that though ?

In defense of portion sizes, in the US it is a cultural thing to not finish your portion at restaurant and get the rest packed up for the next day. That explains the double portions

Regional TLDs like .us .uk .fr .ru etc. do make sense though

Um no loops, just `map`? Does it expect us to write algorithms in recursive style?

> Doesn’t Europe also have coal, nuclear and renewables; and import of oil from Middle Eastern countries? The European electricity market is regulated in such a way that all energy is priced at the production price of the most expensive
228.
by nephanth 4y ago
Doesn't fully answer the question. Increases in monetary mass inflate the prices mostly uniformly. European markets have seen prices of energy rise way more than the others. Also, you are calling the covid policies "reckless"

This piece isn't really anti-China in the usual sense (denunciation of China's "treatment" of its muslim population, of its neocolnialistic policies, or basic infringements on human rights). It feels more like a pro-glo

That's interesting, you'd think the bigger number hits harder

They raised the price earlier this year. I cancelled immediately upon receiving the email about that raise, but I hear they didn't lose a lot of clients that way

I had simply assumed it would be the same, but after a bit of research, on the phone, the legal limit is way higher (300€). It does require a pin code above 50€ though
235.
by nephanth 4y ago
Can you demonstrate that claim ?

by nephanth 4y ago
In France, contactless has a legal limit of 50€. (It used to be 25€ before covid, but they tried to incentivize contactless to reduce well... contacts) There's also generally a limit over the volume and the amount of consecutive pay

Note that, at least in France, you can't do a SEPA direct debit with only the account number. You need a SEPA dd "mandate" which is a (paper or electronic) document account owner asks their bank for, containing a unique ident

In Burgundy (where Dijon is) at least, growing grapes for wine is probably way more profitable than mustard seeds
