Most admins blocking regions aren't so selective; rather than blocking North Korea - they'll block everything not USA. As an American living abroad, it's not uncommon for me to not be able to access a website I need (or want)

Amazing! While I come from a tech background (DevOps) I no longer work in tech (Operate my own companies - completely unrelated). Point being: This still fits my needs perfectly well as a general scratchpad! I usually have dozens of separat

My biggest gripe is trying to read road names. So many times I'll see a road name, and I start to zoom in - only to have it now disappear - to then zoom out again and it doesn't show at all - to zoom in again and then 50/50 I

Didn't sound like they refused. The police officers said it themselves: It's the day before Thanksgiving. Yeah - I get it, law says "immediately", but the journalist needs to chill and just try again Monday. It's a

Watching the videos on the article, and this journalist is coming off pretty arrogant. Okay, I understand that you have a right to request those documents - but it's the day before Thanksgiving, and the right people aren't availab

Skimmed the initial review. Doesn't even look remotely bad. Sure, some negativity - but nothing terrible. Never heard of Devon before, his stuff looks good, but sounds like the artist and the fans need their ego checked. Hardly news wo

Because Apple. The mass market are shills for Apple products. Don't get me wrong - I love my MacBook; but I don't buy it because Apple - I just happen to love MacOS and the hardware. But I hate their phones and headphones. In my c

The US is fairly unique in that everyone still texts. The rest of the world use apps that need data, like WhatsApp. While SMS would be great for low-bandwidth use cases like this, most people don't use it to the point where having cont

1. Taxes can change quickly, and it's a pain in the ass to keep up with. If you're now needing to deal with changing the printed price on tens, hundreds, thousands of items - I can't even imagine. 2. Online sales you won&#x27

My payment processors (Shopify, PayPal, Klarna, etc.) don't treat debit cards any differently than a credit card. Those are all huge payment processors; so it's not like a special snowflake here. Since we're on HN, I'll

What drives me nuts is using the "Search this area" feature once I zoom in. Especially if there's an add anywhere in a 20mi radius. Google Maps usually shows far too much stuff, so I zoom into the area where I am and want to

Eh, living in an area that has far too many astrology-nuts - it's less about flirting and more about forcing their ideology on you. I'd say less akin to racism, and more akin to religion.
