On the other hand, I also have a hard time trusting the government with the health data. I would actually prefer a federation of foundations under public law.

Is the hackernews process broken? I currently see three comments being downvoted without any apparent reason: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23507041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23506992 htt

Indeed. And I really don't get why this has been downvoted. Yes, the OP wrote he didn't like a command driven approach. But thats on windows, which comes with its own problems, see e.g., https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2

Only last week, it was announced by Zoom's CEO that free accounts are unencrypted, to enable law enforcement agencies. Now we read that PAID accounts are suspended for their contents. Hence, the encryption is obviously a farce.

Sorry, I cant replicate your result even with your link above. Is Google Trends showing the same results for you and me? There is actually a recent study that finds deviations in the Trends' results depending on the date of request. So

According to google trends, it started only after Dec 29 2019. Before that, there seems to be no particular interest, not more than usual.

Well, I think that you can't predict if the driver of the other car will brake (or accelerate). And even if: are its breaks strong enough to prevent it from crossing your way? (Or the other way round: What is likely its maximum acceler

Using the grounded extension cord finally connects the HiFi USB sound card without static noise! Wow, this is so great, I have totally overlooked this!

Not that easy, let's say there is a car coming from the side. Will it cross your own trajectory or not?

The iPhone keyboard seems not to be the original one. Is this really calling Apple’s transcription service? And does it maybe even add some latency?

Now this a valid reason to give your kid the surname of a brand. To get rich quick. Too bad that this also limits employment options in the long run (can you imagine Google to work for Amazon?)

On a): I agree that the article should have clearly stated that the verdict is from 2019. As I knew this a priori from reading the news somewhere else first, I didn't notice this vagueness in the article before you wrote about it. Henc

Well, what do you find sketchy about it? a) Of course, a decision from 2019 is not related to the coronavirus lockdown b) the "different language" is German, which is one of the official languages in Switzerland. If you want more

The whole issue is easily circumvented by correctly setting the accepted inputs, which is clearly the responsibility of the webpage owners. Next time, someone uploads JPEG2000 and runs into the same problem. I guess then it’s again someone

Hope you will be alright. Sadly, you wouldn't be the first to be assaulted with SARS-CoV2 at work. See for example the tragic story of a train ticket worker who died two weeks after being spat at in London Victoria station. https:&#x2

Same with combustion engines, called "engine breaking effect". More so, if one drives anticipatively instead of driving ternary (100% acceleration, 100% deceleration, or keeping the velocity). By the way: changing the velocity gen

Of course, people hesitate to go to the doctor. But I see a second factor: Maybe it’s because of a slowing down in many regards. Hence, less stress, and less heart attacks?

Generally it will be difficult for older people to find work that is not doable from isolation. Except with an immunity sticker. Because no company would like to take the risk of sending an employee to death. Then, older unemployed might st

May I ask for the reason of taking a NO map instead of, say, a NOx map?
