Yep. You can take it one step further: imagine you live in a smallish country (10 million people). If your market share is 10% of the population and they make 1 request per day, that is just 10 requests per second. 10% is a large market sha

The easy part of a smartphone to create for EU is the part that is done in the US. The difficult part is the hardware. That is also why the iPhone is produced in Asia. Replacing TSMC is much more difficult than the software.

e-boks sends a text message to the phone, so I see it much faster than a paper mail. e-boks is like gmail (and others) in that it keeps your old mail. So you can easily find old stuff, a great improvement on paper mail. I don't even ch

Have you ever heard of the "sendmail worm", aka Morris Worm ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_worm You can definitely have failure correlation without having centralized services.

plus report servers and others that run on obsolete versions of Windows/unix/IBM OS plus obsolete software versions. and you just look at this and thinks: one day, all of this is going to crash and it will never, ever boot again.

I think the main question is: do your app get unknown input (i.e. controlled by other people). Browsers get a lot of unknown input, so they have to update often. A Weather app is likely to only get input from one specific site (controlled b

1) Get rid of all the margins. I'm not here to look at postcards, I'm here to read text. old.reddit is good. 2) Font is too small and light. Make subject font much bigger. The 2nd line is not nearly as important as the title, s

When a video is loaded on a Cobalt browser, why can't they redirect to something like youtube.com/cobalt/player/123456 This way they could keep an old html/css/js implementation running alongside the upgraded o

I feel too many humanities teachers are like your brother. Why use 10 words when you could do 1000. Why use headings or lists, when the whole story could be written in a single paragraph spanning 3 pages.

I agree that for tables there can be a difference in use but when IKEA has a dresser series named "HEMNES bedroom series" then that argument kind of goes out of the window.

I didn't see the filter because it is only shown for wide windows (over 1250px wide) or when clicking the "All filters" button and is then at the bottom of the list. The list even isn't sorted and looks like a SELECT wit

We already have this in Denmark as we have a lot of wind mills: when the wind is blowing a lot, the electricity prices goes negative! 5th October was one such day. From midnight to 17:00 the spot price was negative or zero. Taxes and distri

Also: why can't they show all sizes of a product jusst like when choosing t-shirt size on a normal shop? e.g. this dresser is available in many sizes but you wouldn't know from the product page: https://www.ikea.com&#x2

Same in Denmark with cash: anybody below 60 using cash in a supermarket is very likely having dirty money. Cash is simply not used anymore by normal people. Electronic payment (including between friends) just works here. It is easier and

Now you have code stored in your database which you don't know what will do when you execute it. Sounds very much like the security pain from macros in Excel and Microsoft Word that could do anything. This is why most PDF readers will

"multi-year residency" in medicine is part of the education. We don't have that for software development. I'd say that the problem is that the diplomas (degree certificate, ...) are useless when hiring software develope

A more important factor is that socialized healthcare often acts like a single buyer instead of each hospital being a buyer. This can make even small countries into relatively large buyers which can make better and more long term deals.

Denmark went 2 steps further: we no longer have area codes and all phone numbers can be mobile or landline. In old days the numbers were distinct but these days the overview just says "mostly mobile" or "mostly landline"
