I am very happy that the web has no more APIs. I'm already tired enough of telling my browser that I don't want any website to send me notifications, to access my location, to access my camera, my microphone. And God knows what g

There's a shortage of flats, so there's no need to undercut the competition.

Of course, but in any case, someone who lives off welfare doesn't have the money to start a business. The only option is to ask a bank for money, and they won't give you shit if you're living off welfare.

First you are assuming that there really are needs to be filled. For example in the case of fishing there are limits to how much you can fish, set by the EU, which maybe we've hit already. Second, jobs don't exist until they are c

The problem with Spain is that there literally are no jobs, and those courses are a charade.

My bet, based on what my heart says, is that if everybody could receive UBI, almost all people will do absolutely nothing; levels of depression and mental illness will go over the roof, which could very well end in violence. Introducing UBI

The New York Times justifying intervention in foreign countries? Can't be.

As an end user I am happy PayPal treats merchants like crap. Just think about it: unless you drink the libertarian kool-aid, you know in any given business transaction there's a minimum of 1 (one) sucker. I'd rather the merchant b

I think it's normal. We now live in a world were liberalism is being shoved down our throats at all levels (mass media, education, ...). Young people are rebels by nature, so now, young people are moving to the right, especially in Eur

Unless you're worrying that they will be shipping without a modem... what's the problem?

Firefox is faster than Chrome on Android? For me, even scrolling HN (i.e. no JS at all) was jittery and laggy.

Firefox is being sabotaged from the executive level, I'm 100 % sure of this. Tech-wise, solid. Administration, a complete disaster.

Of course they paid for it... Do you really think the Mozilla Corporation has sent an ad to millions of users for free? Whether that money went to the corporation or to the pocket of an executive, that's another matter.

A question regarding the advertisements they show on the home page: https://www.neowin.net/news/firefox-640-is-now-showing-a-boo... Are these ads introduced with these updates, or does Firefox include a backdoor so the

I agree with you. Maybe this is not the proper place to express this view because it looks like a personal attack, but the engineering team of reddit seems to be very, very subpar. Downtime almost every day, extremely long page generation t

You are right, I completely misunderstood what he meant.

Yes of course. Especially when it's the SDK of a router, or drivers for an Android mobile so you can make a ROM for them! (Those are the examples I had originally in mind)

Having to micromanage what you do so you don't burn in the screen seems like an endless source of anxiety for someone like me. No thank you.

I've found many "weird" repos in github with full codebases that should be secret (like SDKs, linux device drivers, etc) that were posted by Chinese people. I never understood the reason. I wonder if it's related to this

It's not like there's a big divide in generations... you go to a high school, there's people in an age range, and you can very well teach someone who is one year younger than you how to use something. Rinse and repeat.

That's done on purpose, to avoid what happened to Facebook: swarmed by old people, and then deemed uncool. Snapchat is teen territory.
