in the future no sign-up will be required for misguided adventurism in the middle east and beyond!

Yep. Tricky for those that have childcare costs that they now cannot meet. Some in similar positions are forced out of work.

>True but generally speaking American companies usually have much better customer service and better refund policies than European ones. The issues usually stem when a company corners the market or has no viable alternatives.

this does not track with my experience

I'm trying to be charitable but I really don't understand your line of reasoning. To me it seems like their hand is being forced by the UK Government. They don't want to introduce a backdoor for global users by complying so they are simply disabling the feature for users in the UK. If the feature does not exist then there is no need to comply. That seems... reasonable?

The blame squarely lies with the government in the UK and that is correctly where it seems like most of the anger is being directed.

paying up front when offered an interest free loan, especially in a high interest rate environment is not really rational though. i have excellent credit but klarna doesn't offer its services to me, i suspect because they expect i will make the payments on time and become unprofitable.

i believe cppfront is more of a way to try out and demonstrate ideas in the hopes that they are adopted by the cpp standard

i think to expect a multi-billion dollar organisation to make consequential decisions like this based on anything other than cold calculation is naive at best and enormously stupid at the very worst.

i'd recommend a rowing machine. targets a lot of muscles, allows high/low intensity cardio, and is low impact to help reduce the probability of injury

suggest you read the article.

The sea change in chicken production demonstrated it was possible to quickly scale down antibiotics in farming, but it didn’t do much to reduce overall use, as the chicken industry only used 6 percent of antibiotics in agriculture in 2016. And the momentum didn’t spread to other parts of the meat business, like beef and pork, which together account for over 80 percent of medically important antibiotics fed to farmed animals.

consider that the goal of facebook is not to build a 'good product for the world'. facebook exists to 1) keep your attention 2) extract as much data as it can 3) make inferences where necessary/possible 4) sell targeted ads.

facebook is an ad business. to that end, they do try to improve the user experience wherever necessary to advance the goals stated above, but that's it.

one piece of advice for anyone about to read war and peace: the number of chracters are vast and you'll find that the names used to refer to each can often change with no warning. different names can be used interchangeably, even in the same piece of dialogue. it can get very confusing. best to have a map of character names before you start.

> As a market, it's not worth the risk until it's worth the legal advice.

i think that is a calculation only op can make. the european union covers over 400 million people. making some early design decisions in what data you collect, how you store it, for a lot of people is an acceptable cost to open up to such a large quantity of people.

in fact, it think advising a founder that is bootstrapping their business that the only "reasonable" course of action is to exclude large swathes of the developed world is frankly, misguided.

i'd like the answer to this too. let me know if you ever figure it out
