Prepare to have to deal with their "Customer success team", I had to email a few times back and forth before they actually closed and removed my account. There is/was no way to do this in the web interface itself. This was ov

The normal way to do it is to conduct a long term study with control and test subjects. Carrots have been studied for a long time, as long as you consume them in moderate amounts they are safe but in large amounts you can get all sorts of i

5G has been paused in Brussels [1] already due to the companies inability to prove it is safe. The energy output of 5G antennas is apparently higher than 4G and higher than their current laws allow. [1] https://www.brusselstimes.

Is the view of a garden from 20 meters up in the air considered "public filming"? Can I fly a drone over the house of whomever I want and record all they're doing?

I'm more worried about having thousands of airborne google cameras flying about filming without peoples consent than the noise. Fossil trucks and cars are very noisy already.

Wouldn't SMS fit the bill? Everyone has it and it's quick to send out if you have the system set up for it.

Yep, I have a user in the 12000 uid series there and it has not been the same since Rob (CmdrTaco) left. HN is the closest I can get to a replacement.

If you label it weed sales of course, but if you label it gift or whatever there is no such proof. I'm not in this business myself but I suspect they don't write these things down in the transaction but I've been wrong before

Won't they have to prove in court that the payment was indeed for the purchase of weed and not payment for something legal? It could be a loan/gift or whatever made to the individual by someone who is not knowledgeable about their

We should just have stayed with NNTP and usenet in general but it had a big flaw. It could not be controlled by corporations. It's a miracle that email has survived to this day using open protocols, but they're desperately trying

It was a generalised statement of how they now have too much power to decide what can and can not be put on our devices. And before the "android can sideload" argument, how many normal people are going to do that with all the dark

You should tell HR that would be great, one seat at the office costs a lot. They have a huge savings potential :)

I wonder what would happen if you link your your home page and you have a donation link there. How deep does it have to be before they cut you off? Can you link to a page that is only linking to another page where the donation happens? How

It highly depends on which Toyota you pick. RAV4 for instance is plagued with faults while my 2013 Avensis ran quite ok the first 90000 kilometres I drove it before getting a tesla. It did have to change brakes, a spring in one of the keys

I'm pretty stuffed after eating two slices of bread with "pålegg". The bread is not a sugary white bread but it has whole grains and much more fiber. In general I don't think I'm a big eater though, most food servin

Who tests this, the FDA or the ones with their income dependent on these test being negative? Also the websites only talk about maintaining a database over this not that you need to discard the milk if positive.

I often think that tidbits like this should be kept local or private. I can imagine some jackass trying to chop this one down now, but it seems like it might survive it as long as they don't kill the roots. Still awesome stuff.

The problem with peertube is that it leaks your IP to everyone else watching the video. I've been looking at the same thing.

Can one still buy leaded petrol in the states? In any case, I agree you can't do this properly with humans. And lead is definitely a factor in many deceases including mental ones so it could well be one of the causes of increased viole

Or that low income areas with higher crime in general have less money to buy new and efficient/clean cars so the pollution rises. I think it would be very hard to isolate these factors into a "clean" study.

Does that mean that a Chinese citizen can register their account in the US or buy a US account and avoid having their data handed to the Chinese government? I personally think it's a bit more complicated than that.

Strange, we have four switches in my family and I charge them on anything from phone chargers to 12v usb-c car chargers to 65 watts lenovo laptop chargers. I guess if there is a possibility for that it is very low or I am very lucky.
