I think it's the opposite, there are so many trackers because each time they sell it their user's data parmys so little .

I disagree. Don't need to force yourself to stick to one specific material if you don't like it. All my life I've benefitted from being a horizontal person - having always dabbled in everything I found interesting at the time

I don't see this ad. But honestly you come across as rather entitled if you think the web should conform exactly to your preferehnces. The web and millions of people working on it are paid through ads. Many of the sites you use would n

Maybe it's just that if you're from one of those places you likely have no formal credentials and no relevant local employment options, not at you recruitable abroad. So they do what they can, and a small fraction are successful i

The comparison of bitcoin Vs AV energy usage is a bit ridiculous. No one of buying hundreds of GPUs to mine AV. That said, both are wasteful and ultimately neither should exist.

First of all why does every nation state have to see other nations as adversarial? They could just share those insights and everyone gains. We're all in the same game of life.

I had Google authenticator as 2FA. Phone broke and I must have typo while doing a regular password change - now I have no way to again log into my account as i can't provide the 2FA and none of the other options work (providing old con

I saw migadu in a recent thread on HN and am now a paying customer. But even the free tier is impressive (unlimited domains!) and support is human & very quick so it won't delete your account for non-payment (looking at you mailbox

But if your domain is through GoDaddy you can just change the DNS info there and it won't point to Google anymore.

Actually I'm wondering if you can use the GDPR for this. It gives you the right to ask for a copy of your data. This counts for places where you don't have an explicit account so presumably o could get a copy of all data from my a

Hi! This is really great. Quick feedback for.minor improvements: General: * Maybe 1-2 sentences more at the beginning for what appears at the end ("web app that runs in your browser") and what is the use case (for where your serve

And try any small German town and it will be cheaper. Zurich being in Switzerland which has one of the highest costs of living in the world is not really a good comparison. It's like saying "beer in X is cheaper than in Norway&quo

Very nice little article. While my kind might not be the target audience would you mind adding a short ELI'mNotAnEconomist explanation?

Of course not.

So in a way this also only works when there are few people following the strategy, right? Not everyone can have puts on the same thing as someone had to be on the other end of the deal.

Why even have this as a private thing. In other countries this works fine as a public loan offer by the state (which also helps to keep fees reasonable).

by notechback 6y ago
Or just fix the incredibly high fees. In many European countries (not the UK) public education is incredibly affordable, in some like Germany and Denmark even free. It's a choice to make fees so high, it's not really necessary for

In what ways is it ahead? I'm quite satisfied with the touchpad on Linux, so really wondering what I'm missing. On the other hand touchscreen is really disappointing on Linux (Ubuntu), just not a smooth experience at all for me.

Why would you not have a problem with the anti-vax movement spreading disinfo and getting kids killed of diseases that had been eradicated in the country?

There is a difference between silencing dissenters in a scientific discussion and silencing dissenters trying to push a viewpoint to the masses that may or may not result in tens of thousands of deaths if it gets sufficient traction. This i

But they are not the carriers spreading it - it's the asymptomatic people - and once they have it it's probably too late.

I think the key difference is that Jitsi doesn't have breakout rooms nor a desktop app. Otherwise user experience is rather similar and from my pov the Jitsi meet style with room name is much more friendly than random numbers on zoom.

Let's look at climate science: there was a study that 99% of researchers on the topic are convinced it's real, 1% have some doubts. Should we give the 1% a voice? Yes Should we consider the view of the 1% as equal to the 99%? No.

Marvellous! Another product with non-replaceable batteries. Hostile to both consumers and the environment. Really sad to see that all these big companies don't care even to the smallest degree about all their own environmental pledges.

Maybe you're a bit negative because you've seen it more than once or since you were going. For me the stones were a lot bigger than I had pictured them. Can only recommend it.

by notechback 6y ago
Even with all that, on the most crowded day, it still is a marvel and worth going. You'll miss out if you have the chance and don't go. With that said, I did find Avebury much nicer as you can touch the stones there!

That's something you might be able to get away with as a blogger out journalist, but I'd not put that on my institutional website as marketing material - and then charge for it.
