That's interesting. Why won't the Taliban just license it, like other places do? I don't need to go to Tuvalu to buy a .tv domain. I'm guessing embargoes may play a minor role, but China still trades with them.

You must be talking about poor people's perspective. US has the best healthcare in the World for those that can afford it. Canadians already travel south of the border to seek care. The alternative for them is to wait in line for sever

There are two separate continents: "North America" and "South America", which are more separate than Asia is to Europe. Sometimes people refer to them as "The Americas", in plural.

The worst side of Canada is what people have done to real estate. This is going to bite back the country eventually, it's really just a giant Ponzi scheme now. They kind of forget that most well educated Canadians can easily go south o

Problem is that, compared to US,Canada is not very self-sufficient. The average Canadian imports a lot of stuff. Kind of limited what you can grow in this frozen wasteland.

Can someone enlighten me? Why would they resign instead forcing the employer to fire them? Like by not going to work or just doing a shitty job. If you quit, you're giving up on severance or unemployment insurance benefits.

There must me Tesla employees that visit HN regularly. If you still work there, even after such an announcement, you have no self-respect.

Let's just remind ourselves that we're not born with attached cellphones. These things get broken, lost, stolen, etc. Besides, some people do not own one. How will they solve the problem of folks getting locked out? And if anyone

Of course they are the inflation-protected bonds. I guessed that given our currrent economic situation. A bit of a clickbaiting title though. 9% return is nominal. This is inflation-adjusted after all, the expect real return is still the sa

Why are these cases civil, and not criminal? If I make a false report to the police, in sure I'll get criminal charges against me. Why is it different of its a company?

My brother worked in a medium-sized fintech not long ago. This example is shown in their onboarding process. I guess the same goes for other companies out there.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Not trying to guess your height, but it seems you got personally attacked by the fact that society in general looks down on short guys. Different from skin colour, there's an evolutionary trait

If you are bad enough to need ECMO, you may as well wish you were dead. Not sure what is better. Little is talked about the life of these people after they are "saved", whatever that word means. Besides sequelae from Covid itself,

Credit on environmental issues? Greenpeace has a very different opinion about it. Japanese are very sketchy about their whale hunting practices.

If it's hard enough for to tech companies to hire skilled developers, I can only imagine what the bar is for public work. They might even resort to hire some brain damaged people.

Exact same story with publicly financed research going behind paywalled journals. If we're paying for it, we should have access. Maybe time to have an equivalent of SciHub for code as well, although it will probably be harder to source

I know Ontario all too well. The same people that depend on nurses won't do more than needlessly beat pots and pans for their "heros". They do not even support them with their votes, which put in power the nefarious Conservat

Nurses complain about their work conditions, but I don't understand them. They had this massive leverage during the pandemic to discuss improvements. Some people may say "Oh but it is illegal for nurses to strike in country X&quot

Ouch, they are valued at $11 billion, that's insane. I smell a lot of bag holders. How do they explain this valuation in a market where payment processors are a dime a dozen? I purchase a lot of stuff online, and have yet to find a mer

I feel for people that were born there. This is just a Western journalist that has willingly decided to go to China. There were never guaranteed civil liberties, even before he decided to move there. It's just that now it is an inconve

I disagree. SimCity 4 was a game created for the masses, not just HN. It used to have the same nonsense loading screens, like "Creating Llama oxygenation". These are honestly more common than we imagine. Never seen anyone confused

The Twitter's CEO will get booted for sure. Otherwise he will have to admit he is a hypocrite, as he made clear he had a very different vision than Musk.

Considering we're in the middle of a pandemic, and that there's no vaccine approved for infants, there's not much mystery there. Of course they will avoid like plague having to make that connection. Just like they tried to co

Not a money problem. I have a Netflix subscription, and yet end up going to pirate websites more and more often these days. I'll probably just cancel my Netflix subscription. It's so frustrating to see that 90%of the shows I want
