All good, after the initial surprise and when they found out that I am neither armed nor a criminal they were quite friendly actually. Still wouldn't want to experience something like this ever again.

I accidentally (e.g. I didn't know) bought a stolen laptop some time ago. The police came at 05:00am, raided my home with guns drawn and took the laptop. So yes, it does happen in Europe as well.

Anyone who thinks that this is really about protecting children should look into how the catholic church, who has a long long [0] history of abusing children in Europe, is treated. If governments wanted to fight child abuse they could easil

Slightly off-topic - while I know that there are these lists of “crazy long German words” to make fun of each one of your examples besides the “Donau..” I actually used normally in conversations in the past. Even just a couple days ago I ca

I had ReLex SMILE done 4 years ago. Total costs were around $5k. Easily one of the best decisions of my life. I score the absolute maximum on the tests, there were no complications and it only took a couple days to heal. I actually took the

Immigration is an interesting topic. I’d love to move from Europe to the US to work on new ideas and companies, however while countries like Australia try to attract people like me ( https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas&#x2F

I wish I could upvote you 10x. I have a middle name and it is extremely annoying that it pops up everywhere and I always have to remember to fill it out. Even worse is that where I am from there is no legal way to get rid of it (and believe

Totally agree, Creative Cloud by now is really one of the worst pieces of software ever created. Because we are on this topic - what is a great alternative to Photoshop that uses mostly similar concepts? I’ve tried Affinity Photo but simply

That usually depends on which country you are from. Germany, for instance, follows a residence based taxation. So if you spend a substantial amount of time outside Germany, cut all ties (no spouse, apartments, cars in Germany) and don’t hav

Compare what Craig Federighi is saying with what Tim Cook is talking about in this interview: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28177382 It doesn’t add up.

What Tim Cook is saying in this interview makes so much sense - I wonder what caused them to do a 180 degree turn. I mean, he literally says “You can’t have a back door only for the good guys, it will be exploited by other people as well.”

I have a hard time trying to understand why governments don’t address these scams more proactively. There is a related issue when you register a new company here in Germany: As soon as the new entity is added to the company house (called “H

Looks like BetterTouchTool would solve it: https://community.folivora.ai/t/mouse-invert-scroll/1847 It is an amazing tool in general. Together with Alfred these are the two main apps that I use all the time.

I am actually not convinced about your assumption that it wouldn’t make them any money in the long-term. My theory is: people that are quite tech savvy (like the HN crowd) would look at such an effort quite favourably and these folks are of

That’s of course another option. I am just surprised because there are so many problems in tech where throwing money at it is not going to improve things. However in this case, shouldn’t they be able to attract the best in the world just by

What I don’t understand is: Apple sits on this giant stack of unused money [1]. Why don’t they get the best security researchers in the world, pay each of them north of $1M / year in salary and create the ultimate red team where their

Oh, based on your comment I was also expecting more or less a place in QLD. What were your main reasons for Tassy? Climate? House prices?
