In terms of law enforcement: I disagree. It's like 97% national still. In terms of civil disputes between citizens from different member countries - well, we don't have any phone/internet/post police.

The US justice system seems very odd to this European. Then I realize that if the EU project ever were to reach its presumed goals (by some), we'd probably end up with something pretty similar in terms of "oddness complexity"

I cancelled too, btw. I found myself only listening to stuff pushed via their ML playlists and not much else. At the moment I'm back to listening to my 80s/90s/00s CDs (but ripped to FLAC).

Ah, that's what you're upset about. They probably paid more to the Obamas and those british royalties, in case that's any consolation.

Shocker, creating music costs money. Which one is it? 1) Spotify isn't paying copyright holders enough. 2) The free Spotify version is too limited.

They also have a problem with older noisy 1080p sources. Badly upscaled to 4k and then bandwidth-limited it sometimes looks comically bad. When I tried out the 4k Netflix option in early 2023 I found myself wanting an option to downgrade to

If he had used e.g. the USPS mail service, would it then have been mail fraud instead? Similar sentencing?

(Not that I'm aware of.) Web pages don't really work without in-page/dynamic javascript any longer. On the other hand it's now cheaper than ever to just have a full-blown webkit instance in the cloud and just sync/s

Stage Manager is surprisingly great, IMO. Frustrating at times, but mostly great.

There's a '/snip-story?id=...' request sent to HN when you do it. The response is the metadata about the story that is slipped in at the end of the page. So maybe?

My personal progression: 1. Hmm, I guess I can use this to hide posts that I would just get really angry about and just want to get out of my sight. I suppose it must be a mental health feature, the Californians are really into that that th

Is there a single major redundant aspect in a (single-rotor) helicopter's ability to stay airborne? I thought helicopters were so expensive because every part had to work and last, or else.

I both loved and hated J2ME. It kinda had what you needed though, apart from the often "openly" idiotic device implementations that were kind of the norm. Only Sony Ericsson had a great one (fast, high code quality, sane security
