So, are you for eliminating prisons? If I kill somebody, that person isn't there anymore, you don't think deterring other from killing other people isn't reasonable?

I thought the same thing, but I was corrected here on HN: if you read the same exact like you posted, it says "a fine up to €20 million or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year in case of an enterpri

I use Kdenlive and it uses proxy files. Final Cut also uses the same technique, then when you render the final file it substitutes proxy files with actual raw files. How would you handle uploading gigabytes of stuff, though..? Cameras are s

Jesus, I really hope you're not American (like you imply) and English is not your first language.

I have a really crappy computer ATM, and I was wondering if something like this existed. Even with a fast connection though, uploading the source files would take forever.

Definitely. Here is an example: https://www.insideprivacy.com/data-privacy/portuguese-hospit... . There are also many, many more examples for smaller companies that get fined 5000-20000.

In Europe you have GDPR, there are huge fines for stuff like this.

Assuming you're in Europe, we go by decades. Ex., we say "in the 60s", "in the 90s", etc. In the States they use "baby boomers", "generation x", "millennials" more, but it's the sa

I read this: https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116#issue... , which might seem controversial, but what was he supposed to do? I guess just let it rot and tell people to fork.

Absolutely. Besides the keyboard incident which is hardly debatable since keyboards should be able to be used to type, everything is subjective. Like it always happen, although power users (developers, graphic designers) have historically s

I'm very much against the myth of Steve Jobs--e.g. I'm completely aware that he wasn't him inventing everything like the media (and himself) often claim, but I think you're completely right. We would need an Apple inside

I think the more they build, the more they'll screw up. I've yet to see anything good coming out of Apple in the last few years. - force-touch touchpads are so useless than not even them use the technology to any meaningful extent

Microsoft is doing a much, much better job with hardware compared to Apple. Microsoft's Surface Book is absolutely stunning--although a little pricey for me--and unlike Apple's stuff it doesn't break after a month of normal u

You don't have to swear because of a typo, English is not my first language. You look much dumber than the person you're correcting by acting like that.

That's kind of obvious. Car makers might have a bigger responsibility, but the amount of negligence is the same IMO. Many people recycle passwords, so having a company storing yours in plain text has the potential to ruin someone'

The maximum penalty is a small percentage of earnings of 1 year. I doubt this will bankrupt any company. There are other laws that can do a lot more damage. In this case, storing passwords in plain text is equivalent to building cars with d

I know many people that spend more time browsing Facebook at the office than at home. Perhaps office is Facebook + optimized for solitaire, then. :-D

Not at all a reason to keeping being an Apple customer after their failures in the last few years, but one thing that I miss from using Apple is their minimalist, easy-to-understand product line. Right after selling my Late-2016 MBP in a hu

I'm well aware of what the EU does. I live in Poland and I see the signs. However, all they're good at is redistributing funds. It's not the EU that does it, it's the local governments that do it. Next!

What's even worse, every time I went to the Apple store in Italy there were customers complaining about their phone being slower, and the "genius" would always say something like "well, if you'd like to consider a n

by nkkollaw 8y ago
True, but not anymore I guess. It's not uncommon for governments to start out well and be clouded by power grabs later on, which is I think what's happening (unless it was the plan since the beginning, which we'll never know)
