Thanks for correcting me; I accept that CPF can be used for both the cases you have mentioned. My comment came from two observations: 1. The majority of Singapore citizens live in HDB. 2. The vast majority of non-landed residential properti

The "gotcha" here is that the home is, legally and technically, on a 99-year lease from the government. So, the government is free to take it back once the lease expires. This happened a couple of years back with an old enclave -

This European perspective is one of the reasons that many developing countries outside of Europe didn't condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As India's External Affairs Minister had remarked, "Europe has to grow out of

I agree with the stance that companies like Google, Meta, et al are taking. Politics, like religion, should be strictly a personal matter and not be used to push a personal belief onto a larger group. As the GP noted, one is free to leave t

The EFF raises valid concerns regarding the abuse of security backdoors. As far as I remember, they and other privacy advocate have been doing so for the longest period of time. Unfortunately, the real world will always fall short of the id

That last sentence is an interesting sentiment. I can understand that it could be from the perspective of patriotism, supporting local manufacturing, quality perception, etc. However, you would also appreciate that a large number of migrant

Not siding with either Matt or WPE, but I think just sponsoring community events should not be giving back enough. If I remember clearly, companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. spend substantial (to the community) monetary and non-monetary

I guess we are in agreement here. As far as I understand, the word shocking is used, in this context, at the unexpected happening of the event; not that the event happened. If I remember the sequence of events correctly, he was admitted to

As the study highlights, these effects were observed in patients who caught the infection before the vaccines were developed. The researchers didn’t look at the effects of the vaccination, but suspect that it would be protective. The study

Isn't tenure at your current place of employment also a function of career growth, both monetary and non-monetary? IMHO, there is no point staying at a company if it "takes you for granted" even if you are performing well. I&

You are right. For me, I always see a blue-colored "Unsubscribe" link on the right-end of the From header in mails that are in Promotions or Social categories.

The parent, SiteOne, seems to be a well-established IT company in The Czech Republic. Hopefully, they will gain more traction in the near future.

Maybe, the newcomers have learnt the lessons from the travails of the old open source projects? That doesn't mean that the oldies should just suck it and keep quiet.

I believe that we should give a shit, and it does matter. The "balkanization" of open-source licensing into more restrictive versions is ultimately going to adversely impact all of us. And, if Matt had not chosen to be an asshole,

I have, often, come across comments on HN threads that corporations that are driven only by money are evil. For example, many threads with Google, Facebook, et al have expressed such sentiments. If we agree that to be true, then WPE should

I had a similar experience with my young son. One of our best memories together was telling a long bus ride in pouring rain, just watching the scenery roll by. He is 21 now, and still finally remembered that trip.

The general consensus of commentators seems to be that Matt is wrong in the way he approached this matter. Going by the wisdom of the crowds, maybe that's true. However, my question is this: has WPE given a factual rebuttal to Matt&#x2

I guess the fundamental issue is who is moderating whom. We can't have it both ways - applaud some people/websites/companies when they moderate/censor/cancel content that we don't agree with and then cry hoarse

Interesting devices. One thing that I've noticed with many of the cheaper devices is the lack of regular security updates. The phone claims to offer 2 OS updates and 3 years of security updates, which is good IMHO. And, of course, the

I wonder if similar findings would also have been found in a large number of humans, after the initial shock and the high mortality levels were brought under control.

The deeps have continued to hold, my fascination since childhood and is only increasing with each new discovery. As Dr. Ian Malcolm famously said, "Life, uh, finds a way."
