> you might get 3x the sunlight in summer than winter

In the darker parts of Europe, at least, this is broadly balanced out by an increase in wind. But there are dark and still days every year.

I don't know how much storage is needed, but it's a hell of a lot more than four hours.

Apple isn't Sony. They make an arm and a leg on their hardware.

When they switched to x86, it didn't take long for them to release Boot Camp, so they could take Windows users' money, too.

How does someone end up knowing an extra language they don't need anymore?

> how do we know the Spanish was translated perfectly, without a massive detail review

You can't. I think that's a large part of why LLMs have caught on much better with programmers: they have ways of making the computer check its own work.

Checking a document is still a laborious manual task. And completely unfulfilling.

> the pretense posed by the article that the club has no blame.

Remember that these clubs are mostly small, local businesses. Their owners just don't have the technical sophistication to evaluate software security. Or the clout to demand an audit.

Not really, no. The current kerfuffle is primarily over illegal streaming of live sports. The blocks need to be in place very rapidly to have any effect.

Some governments have given rightsholders the ability to order IPs blocked at short notice, and they've caused a lot of collateral damage, making thousands of unrelated sites unreachable.

Are you kidding? There was a large swing to Trump amongst Latinos in your last election.

I have no idea why people assume immigrants are pro-immigration. They're pro-themselves.

> GP ties negative properties to entire groups without differenciation, this is by definition racist.

Only if they're racial groups, and you're literally the only one trying to box people up by their skin colour.

> largely been workers for jobs the Dutch won't do.

The Dutch were happy to do those jobs 50 years ago.

After every single "jobs the natives won't do", there's an unspoken "for the dogshit pay we offer."

This sort of casual dismissal is precisely why the relationship won't be repaired.

We deployed troops to Greenland after his comments. Does that sound unserious to you?

> not contributing to musk's empire

You are if you've got a 401(k), just not voluntarily.

The SpaceX IPO is basically a scam designed to force pension funds to buy in before the stock price falls to where it should be.

Islamists fight to be the oppressors, not to help the oppressed.

What allies?

You threatened to invade Canada and Greenland.

You surely don't think you're coming back from that?

> all this in-app tracking must be a violation of the GDPR, no?

Probably, but we're gonna have to wait for the courts to weigh in for a definitive answer.

Same with the very popular pay-or-accept-tracking model. An Austrian court found it illegal, but we'll probably have to wait for a case to make it all the way to the ECJ.

I'm not an Android user. What's a profile? Is that a user thing or a developer thing?
