One of the last drops in the bucket for him was his story about a town that voted for Trump: https://medium.com/@micheleanderson/der-spiegel-journalist-m... What made all this worse was the fact that Der Spiegel was lo

Similar issue in my country (Portugal). On our largest second-hand market (OLX.pt) the laptops in the 60-80 EUR range are pretty much all described as "for parts", and their specs are not comparable to this RPi model. The snide co

Good for them, lets see how long that takes and how effectively that works at a pre-epidemic scale, and over the long term.

Jim Browning is another great channel related to this, in that he does his best to infiltrate the callcenters he gets calls from and find the info needed to alert (or even refund!) the victims: https://www.youtube.com/channe

I'll never set foot on a MAX series out of principle. Not much else one can do as a consumer other than vote with one's wallet.

Around the time just before the MAX was grounded, I remember there being lots of unfounded speculations (here on HN as well!) that Lion Air's and Ethiopian's pilots were somehow substandard and lacking the training of their first

I've already done this on my phone with Blokada. Don't have to worry about any ads regardless of the app, couldn't be happier with it.

I can't see how you think there's absolutely no connection here. The Chinese government has demonstrated very clearly it will coerce their citizens' compliance - they're not going to be immune to this just by not being a

That you find this scenario so fantastical is naive...and yes, the Chinese government openly threatening its own citizens abroad is documented. What do you think of the following article, is it cause for concern for you, or do you believe i

Chinese and Russians living outside of China and Russia will not be affected by the ban. You keep calling it xenophobia even after you've been proven wrong when you claimed this is targetted at green-card holders. You are absolutely di

The other much less painful maxim is to take a pass on Go, and use a language that's not stuck in the early 70s and with a rabid fanbase to boot.
