Competition in the Danish market isn't actually health. It's good for the consumers, but the providers are running on extremely low margins compared to pretty much anywhere else.

It's basically the world's toughest market for mobile telephony.
Well yeah, there was a battle, and they added single window mode like 6 years ago. Solved the floating bars.
Yes guys that do have a lot of commits (and those who don't think through the problem long enough) end up with commits like:

"Fix the fix because of fix"

Then you know you don't want those on your team.
It really bites on tight deadlines when you have to put something to production but poor dude needs to push that really, really last fix.

Ahah, I see. It's quite hard to see what's going on through the contract language!
It's reporting requirements, not making it illegal to have money.

If you've ever bought a car or house, or really made any purchase over $10,000, your bank filed a report to the government with every detail they know about you and every detail about the transaction made. That's not paranoid delusions, that's publicly known law.

Rust is based on LLVM so it can only support the architectures that are supported there (save maybe a reimplementation like sibling comment mentioned).

What I don't understand is this whole thing about bootstrapping a new arch by building a whole new compiler on it, then compiling the source of an existing compiler on it (twice). Bytes of machine code don't have color, it's just a regular pile of bytes like everything else. Why does the compiler even have to run on the new arch? Just build a new backend for an existing compiler, then cross compile. It makes no sense to me why the machine code of a system must be assembled on that system.

I don't mean to sound adversarial, I'm just very confused.

"Fern says the animals talk to each other. Dr Dorian, do you believe animals talk?"

I never heard one say anything," he replied. "But that proves nothing. It is quite possible that an animal has spoken to me and that I didn't catch the remark because I wasn't paying attention. Children pay better attention than grown-ups... Perhaps if people talked less, animals would talk more."

Clojure Linear Algebra Refresher (4) – Linear Transformations
Actually, they are one and the same. Paid shills doing the bidding of their customers, either way. And no, this fact does not only lead to the path you prescribe. You can't find the truth by averaging lies, half truths and omissions together. You have to actually think for yourself, be aware of your own assumptions (and always be willing to challenge them) and source information from outside of any news source.

You and I may believe the world is round, but until we get into orbit and observe it for ourselves, we are relying on something we have been told by others, and choosing, typically at a sub-conscious level, to accept that as the truth.
I mean, I think it's self-evident as a general point...but in this specific case they don't have any satellite data driving their weather analysis because the government bureaucracy is mired in an ongoing process to upgrade. Anyone who has done gov't software contracting has probably seen cases like this.
Thank you. That helps.
From reading this thread it seems that telecoms companies and the EU need to make it much more clear what is actually happening. Half the people commenting here have one experience and the other half have the complete opposite. It's probably difficult to know how this will all shake out for a couple of years considering most of us are locked into multi-year contracts.
This document seems to imply it, but it's not explicit: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/faq/frequently...

Every existing or new contract that includes roaming services will change to "roam like at home" contract.

That does seem to exclude contracts that don't include roaming services.

Nearly the entire Lone Wolf saga (20+ books) was donated and made freely available on https://www.projectaon.org, along two other minor series by the same author (one "Mad Max"-style postapocalyptic, and the other military-themed).

Lone Wolf was one of the best series in this genre back in the 1980's, and doesn't get nearly enough mention in comparison to the CYOA or Steve Jackson stuff.

They are long out of print, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for the GrailQuest series... a very loosely King Authur-themed series with a much more whimsical and campy style. I remember mailing the author a fan letter when I was about 10 years old, and receiving a very nice handwritten reply from Ireland (which I probably still have tucked in an old photo album somewhere). In the age of email, social media, and $50 autograph lines at cosplay conventions, younger people will probably never know the magic of contacting a favorite author and unexpectedly receiving a tangible reply later on.

We usually dockerize outputs of our Syberia projects as well. We have several dozen internal packages consumed by the root projects. With many contributors working on constituent packages daily, we've found frequent changes to packages can slow down a docker-only workflow. So far, using a base docker image with lockbox catching us up to the most recent daily and hourly changes has been working well.
There is nothing unusual about 1x11 these days.

> The two Chinese ransom notes differ substantially from other notes in content, format, and tone. Google Translate fails in both Chinese-English and English-Chinese tests, producing inaccurate results that suggests the Chinese text was likely not have been similarly generated by the English text.

Really? Did Flashpoint even compare English to Chinese samples from the many professional human-based translation services online or was Google Translate their sole source of testing?

> Perhaps most compelling, the Chinese note contains substantial content not present in any other version of the note, is lengthier, and differs slightly in format.

Hmm. That again suggests it may have been interpreted by a human. Although why immediately assume it's one of the authors? A human-based translation service could yield the same results...

So now people can't stand being "stressed" by a simple dialog asking them if they wish to mark themselves safe? I'd understand if it's some business app and you're in the middle of something important, but c'mon you're already wasting your time looking at newsfeed? Is it really that hard and time consuming to answer or just ignore that dialog? Or is it about emotions, you don't like being reminded of the bad things happening in the real world around you?!
C is not only better for performance, but also because you simply can not do some things in most other languages. Rust lacks bitfields, for one. But the bigger thing are pointers. AFAIK you can not do type punning in rust, and i don't know if you can do other pointer plays. (note that pointers are barely even mentioned in this blog post)

IMO rust is a replacement for C++, not for C. C is much closer to assembly then most all other languages, especially those that deal with memory allocation natively.
Same with EE in the UK. I did previously pay for an EU roaming addon which cost £3/day in the EU, they've said that that's removed from the account, and charges in the EU will be the same as at home, no extra charges.
As this is Hacker News - Anyone seen any good tutorials on how to set this up without a 3rd party broker?

Lets say I have an IPv6 on/availableTo a server - how do I go about handing out those IPs to my local clients and all the routing/setup inbetween
So even if I use a VPN, my ISP can still see that I connected to https://vpn.com around the same time https://vpn.com connected to https://embarrasingNSFWsite.ru.

Your ISP is very unlikely to have access to any traffic logging from your VPN endpoint, unless you are using the same ISP for both.

My solution to this has been to spin up a VPN server on Digital Ocean and just route all traffic through that. Bonus: native IPv6 over the VPN.
I bought a Lyca mobile SIM in Germany last year, no photo ID. I got a Meteor SIM here in Ireland, also no ID required.

My current operator is Virgin, and that didn't require ID etiher, although since I already had a home internet account with them, that may have been why (no idea if new customers need ID). I did not need ID to setup the original home broadband account though. They obviously have my address and billing details, but they never had any proof that I'm who I saw I am. My previous phone provider was Three Ireland and they didn't require any ID either.

All of these except my Virgin SIM are/were prepaid. It seems that prepaids don't always require ID (and having postpaid/bill phones require ID does make sense).

There are free markets and then there are free markets.

There are commodity markets with many producers, many consumers and product uniformity. These can be modeled very effectively using economic theories. Barley, pork bellies, silver.

There are more “normal” markets with many (or at least enough) producers & consumers and nonuniform products with sufficient substitution options. Supermarkets, building supplies, spoons, shoes… These tend to be efficient and broadly explainable via economic theories.

Some markets are highly regulated. Some markets are oligopolistic or have an monopolistic component in the “value chain” (e.g. last mile infrastructure). Some are highly financialized (e.g. health insurance markets) or have weird standardisation/compatibility issues. Some have high fixed/marginal cost structures. Lock-in, licensing issues, externalities, inflexible supply side (e.g. housing), property rights aggregation issues (e.g. regional US radio bands), bundling…

The ability of a market to be dynamic, efficient, innovative and all the other emergent properties of a free market is limited by all these things.

Telcom markets have a lot of these issues. That’s why highly interventionist policies have performed well relative to more “free” market setups.
I'm so happy to see where desktop linux is at this point. Ubuntu never has failed on me for the last 5 years. Tools like LibreOffice are good enough and they're bad only because WYSIWYG document editing itself is bad.

Recently I evaluated Lightroom, an industry standard for photo post processing for a damn good reason, against Darktable and found preferring Darktable's take on picture manipulation. And I was ready to throw $1000 for a Windows PC just to be able to run lightroom if it proved to be so much better.

I suppose (but I am just a layman) that animals do not really have any sense of time.

They can express "I am hungry" or "I am extremely hungry" but they cannot express "I have told you I am hungry for the last 20 minutes" because they have no conceptual model for "things as they were 20 minutes ago".

This does not mean that they have no ability to learn (including learning to recognize humans) but for them I suppose it is just a bunch of "state" which classify me as "nice guy who feeds me" or even just "I know I can trust him not to be a menace" but they have no way to reminisce about when we met for the first time, etc.

("Future state" is probably even more inscrutable to them - they have strategies to cope with the present, some ingrained as instinct, some learned "by experience" but I sincerely doubt that they can contemplate something like "tomorrow I will try doing this").
I am convinced there was an erroneous dead end in Creature of Havoc - even with cheating it was impossible to win!
If there is a regulation about this, it’s ridiculous. A great example of government overreach.

Udemy isn’t regulated as a school. Duolingo isn’t regulated as a school. Considering this product as something that ought to be regulated is madness.

Rust's raw pointers have equivalent power to C's pointers.
No, as the law is written for Customs, the 10k value is specifically about money going through the border to be declared. A credit card isn't an actual asset, and hence doesn't need to be declared.

As for the undeclared accounts, theoretically this should be covered by the FBAR form that US citizens are supposed to file if they keep money in foreign banks. I'm not quite sure how involved the IRS gets in investigating undeclared accounts, but as of right now it looks to be on the honor system. When I filed my FBAR, it didn't even ask for any real verification of the assets I claimed in a foreign account, it just asked for the total value and to plug in the calculations to see if I owed anything.

As for using this as a weapon, highly doubtful. The bill mostly modifies existing law to either modernize it or to add punctuation for clarity purposes, and the counterfitting/laundering claims are pretty straight forward. For example, for counterfitting, they want to add the clause:

“ Whoever, with intent to defraud, has custody, control, or possession of any material, tool, machinery, or other equipment that can be used to make, alter, forge, or counterfeit any obligation or other security of any foreign government, bank, or corporation; or”.

Basically, unless they were already doing some pretty suspect stuff, you'd have to go through a lot of work to set up a condition where you could attack an opponent with it. Same with the "funding terrorism" sections; the burden of proof it looks for is pretty high to use this as a political weapon, when shitposting on twitter and facebook would probably be just as effective.
It's like comparing Word to TeX. Word presentation is usually content. In TeX they're separate. From that point of view you could reasonably argue that powershell is superior.
Because it has taken them a ridiculously long time. Note that these regulations have been phased in for the last 10 years after the Commission first gave the industry about two years warning that they were unhappy about the situation. In those 10 years, the limits have steadily been dropped, yet most providers have avoid to the last day to drop their rates ahead of the regulation.

These regulations have been reviewed several times, with the intent of seeing if the industry had changed behaviour enough to justify letting the rules expire. Time limits were extended several times. Each time the providers under-delivered on what the Commission was looking for.

In other words: They've had 12 years. They've consistently dragged their feet, because they know that while it is a material issue when getting a subscription for a small portion of frequent travellers, most people do not keep close track of large portion of their yearly cost is down to that vacation (on average) many months ago when it comes time to renew.

Secondly because the EU sees this as a barrier to effective competition between businesses in different member states, and eliminating those barriers is a major portion of the justification for its existence.

That's not true - you're ISP can't see the onward connection.

VPN's like PIA do provide a layer of abstraction; you could save a small amount of money running your VPN NAT on a VPS.
What you're describing is not a vpn. A real vpn establishes an encrypted tunnel that obscures all IP metadata except the connection to the vpn provider itself.

You may be describing a reverse proxy, which is not the same thing as a vpn but if it's set up properly it still should mask the metadata of what it connects to.
Right, because when it comes to your data, giving access to yet another third-party, this time from Singapore, is always a good idea.
