Whenever I heard “Delphi”, I thought it was an ancient programming language that older colleagues used to mention (“... <anecdote> ... many moons ago, back when I used to program Delphi.”). But so Delphi really is/was a GUI edito

The problem with unjustified bans due to some algorithm is also: These cases might not even be a close calls like: “oh yeah this person did something that is in the grey area of what our policies state. I will ban him but he might interpre

I’m not sure you “want” to understand me. I treat them as __headphones__ and simply stated that it was a shame that (esp. expensive) headphones which used to hold up for a long time are now worthless after a few years. That’s it.

It is such a shame that nowadays even these high priced devices are contributing to the enormous e-waste we are all piling up. It used to be like this: You spend A LOT of money for really nice headphones and use them (potentially) your life

True. I think there are categories where I take their word for gospel, like electric tooth brushes, mixers and other electric household items, food, cosmetics, etc. But for some products they had/have really weird metrics. E.g. an earl

For example in my country you go to work, eat lunch but you mostly work. In the US what I have experienced is a lot more “living” at the company and everyone stays long but people are not often actually getting work done. But staying late m

Americans are not the only ones being critical of America. Quite the opposite: My perception is rather that Americans have very high tendency to assume they are the greatest country in the world. And because of mostly learning about their

What I don’t get is: Now the stock is clearly overvalued. Doesn’t this make shorting it now so much more attractive?

Interesting point. But I have never experienced this with other newspapers who publish the traditional articles online. And the NYT should have a higher quality than most.

by ruph123 6y ago
Honestly the pacing and structure of NYT articles is so weird. Sometimes I read an article and after a few well structured paragraphs it seems that they just add random additional info, go down rabbit holes and just end abruptly. As if your

I recently bought the Onyx Boox Note Air for writing and reading and I am really liking it. Syncs with my server, has a front light, allows to install apps like kindle or pocket and is just super well build. The default pen is crap but the

Oh for sure! I just cannot set it up where I am right now. I am sure that NetGuard may also somehow be able to block domains but I have not been able to find out how.
