I think your argument falls short when we consider the compulsion that drives most onto these metaphorical cattle trucks at rush hour in the first place. The employment industry in our prevailing economic structure demands punctuality, ofte

I think it's due to many power banks being so shitty that the chance of them catching fire in normal operation is not insignificant. From the EASA guidelines on lithium batteries ( https://www.easa.europa.eu/sites/d

You shouldn’t and, at least in Europe, any kind of spare battery is forbidden in checked luggage. You also shouldn’t use power banks at all during flight.

Well, Paypal has been around for longer and works across the world, which explains some of it. But I question the accuracy of these stats - I would expect to see SEPA wires and direct debit being significant everywhere, Multibanco and MBWay

It's paywalled for me. Are UK customers' funds SAFU?

What customer information did you store with that provider? Just names and emails, or was there anything else that attackers may have been able to access?

Capital gains tax in Sweden is 30% and property tax is around 0.75% IIRC. I don't think they are that low - they're higher than most of Europe in fact. And VAT is a double-edged sword... It's the only tax that essentially nob

I use G Suite nowadays, but I used to self-host up until a couple years ago. Mailcow is (or at least was) pretty nice and reliable: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized

On a similar note, temperatures in ºC would also be useful. Great website though!

I'm Portuguese and can confirm this works pretty well overall. It's still too strict though - I got convicted of essentially "possession with intent to distribute" just for having ~15g of hashish when I was young and a r

> virginity jokes Is that about the "virgin of EMACS" joke from, what, 15 years ago now? Sure, it was silly and I personally wouldn't have said something like that, but come on... This doesn't make someone an asshole.

Yeah, but it's much worse in Portugal, especially Lisbon. Here are some median home price to median income ratios for various cities (from Numbeo: https://www.numbeo.com/property-investment/in/Lisbon and corr

While you raise some good points this a very politically biased opinion, and in some points also completely deceptive - e.g. our infant mortality is 8x lower than in 1982: https://www.pordata.pt/en/Portugal/Crude+d

We already tax vacant property up to 12 times the regular tax when located in high demand areas[1] which includes all of Lisbon municipality. It's definitely had some effect as you see a lot less vacant property, but it unfortunately d

> over 60% of Lisbon's real estate owned by the city I'm from Lisboa and this can't be true unless you're using some very strange definition of real estate. What's your source for this?

Does anyone have any recommendations for legit companies that provide proxies from ASNs not marked as datacenter/proxy? I need some for web scraping, but all the ones I've found so far seem super shady...

Almost everyone on this earth likes boobs - those who have them and those who don't - so I reckon they (like me) just hate that the company uses sex and other scummy tactics to sell a crappy service to unsuspecting people, instead of m

Should people who wouldn't like to work for e.g. George Bush have pressured their companies to stop operating in the US? After all, they were effectively accepting and complying with things like secret courts that issued broad warrants

Cool article! The Golden Gate is so iconic that Portugal contracted American companies to build a similar one in Lisbon and painted it the same color: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_de_Abril_Bridge Originally it had

Interesting. What's the point in differentiating between pedestrians and cyclists? Is it an attempt at preventing suicide for non-bikers?

Yeah I remember being a junior and feeling like blunt comments were kind of rude. So I make an effort to be nicer to new developers - sometimes simply adding “what do you think?”/“do you agree?” is enough to make those command style se

Metals are also recyclable as many times as you want. Recycling is not perfect but I don’t understand the negativity. Do you really think it would be preferable to just send everything straight to landfills instead of trying to recycle what

If the war is seen as something distant that has no impact at all on the average Russian's life will they actually care about it or will they just ignore it? To be clear I don't wish anything bad for the general Russian population

I just woke up to this news and I'm wondering if it's possible for Apple and Google to brick all Russian phones? This would probably be more effective on their population at large than any form of sanctions.

Does it burn in the early morning and late afternoon too? Those are probably the only times light skinned people should get extended sun exposure during the summer.
