Sure, my point is: if EU-membership was a deciding factor in availability of high speed broadband, as the OP implied, you'd see high speeds in Germany (and you would've seen a large drop in broadband speeds when the UK exited). It's obviously not, it's a national policy decision that countries make but has nothing to do with being a member of the EU or not.
There are quite a few people in the comments here trying to hint that this woman is mistaken somehow. This casual sexism is quite unfortunate.

Here is the actual list of myths with some text on each one. [1] This gets posted on HN a lot, but sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who actually clicks through and reads the debunking? Only about a 30 - 40% are actually false (eg. "No EU plan to ban Union Flag from British meat packs"), the majority are true, and the "debunking" takes the form of explaining why it's a good thing (eg. "EC plan to ban noisy toys", " EU to ban powerful vaccuum cleaners"), or there are no facts involved at all
and they try to debunk someones opinion ("EU does not favour criminals over victims").

Also popular is distinction without a difference. The classic banana myth is one of these - No they don't ban vegetables with the wrong dimensions, they just put them in a lower quality class that no supermarkets will buy.

You're being silly. To take an extreme scenario, if the KGB is financing entities spouting non-sense in various publications, you expect the US/CIA to just take it lying down? :-)

It's part of intelligence/counter-intelligence, you have to control the narrative because the average citizen isn't well informed enough and will just end up believing what the other party tells them... because they're the only ones saying anything.

Private individuals can do this, but governments have been doing this too, since the beginning of time (and of governments).

The entire show is a jewel.

Highly recommended.
> That was a painful read, sorry.

For me too, but for different reasons.

> I tried to drum up support in niche subreddits only to have people tell me it was basically useless that they wanted a desktop version, not a mobile app.

This is valuable feedback - why did author not take the advice and give the people what they said they wanted (a desktop app)?

I mean, this is literally the first thing you should know as a salesman - sell the people what they are asking for!

It gets worse. Here's what happened on the second attempt:

> It was a summary of the review and it was bad. I forget the exact wording but basically, it was like “This app does not work as intended 0 stars.” It hit like a crash dummy flying into a brick wall at a crash site test. I was furious, despondent, and sad. I tried everything to get in contact with the user, I sent maybe 4 follow-up emails begging for me to help him or her fix their problem and to remove their review.

His user engagement was partially to fix the product and partially to get the user to change their mind about the review. The feedback of "This app does not work as intended" seems extremely clear to me - the product does not what the advertising said it did.

But he learned this lesson, right? Apparently not. On the third attempt:

> Soon I started getting feedback on forums along the lines of “The product looks interesting but I don’t really want to sign up for it without seeing the product first.” Again this was a free product at the time and all the user had to do was click the Google or Facebook OAuth button to log in, or enter their email but they refused to do so.

Users apparently did not want to sign up with their main email or facebook account details. His response?

> at this time I would learn and do anything to get more users to my site, to the point where I was getting banned from multiple forums for posting after people told me to get lost for promoting content.

Three times in a row he ignored what his users were telling him; he's lucky he got as far as he did on third third attempt.

> No matter how you disprove the selected "euromyths". This action itself just directly prove the broader point: EU has an overarching government.

The EU can only do what its member state government delegate to it, and the same EU also has a fraction of the employees a regular state government has.
France has about 65 million citizens and about 2 million state employees.

The entire EU has something like 50k employees, for the whole group of 450 million people.
Lease agreements can’t simply waive away criminal liability. You can’t commit crimes or fraud against someone just by getting them to sign a waiver.

I would guess that the real issue is that it would be difficult to prove that the leasing company was aware of the issues, or even that the environmental issues are the cause of this person’s problems.

The topic of what has come to be known as “sick building syndrome” is a thorny legal issue because many times it’s not easy to prove that the building is causing the person’s problem. Most commonly, the issue is that the building is only triggering issues for a single person, while others in the same building are fine. It’s also difficult to separate out the psychosomatic complaints from people who believe their issues are from the building when they might actually be from something else. Doubting these patients publicly is very taboo, but medically it’s actually not uncommon for this to happen.

Not only this but ancient agriculture supported fewer humans with a lot more work. This romanticized idea of growing food the old fashioned way and forget today’s busy way of life omits the part of doing nothing but growing food from not figuratively dawn to dusk. I spent some time in my youth farming the old fashioned way: hand tools only, carrying water from somewhere else, removing pests and weeds by hand. It is a terribly labor intensive process that managed to supplement my family’s food needs but not eliminate the need for purchased food by any means. We managed to do literally nothing else. We certainly couldn’t have fed anyone else since we didn’t have any kind of excess.

I don’t like industrial food. It is killing the planet abs pretty quickly. But it’s not doing it because farmers are evil. It’s because it the cheapest way to produce food. If we as a society want to go to a place where food costs 10-100x as much while availability goes down by about the same amount, let’s figure out how we will prevent mass starvation and population decline. But if the GP expects that farmers will switch to compost abs hand tools, they should probably expect to pay a lot more for a lot less food.
I knew a Psyc. nurse years ago, and she said they prevent certain depressed patients from sleeping. I knew her 17 years ago, and she was a nurse since the 80’s.

She said it was for the patients whom were brought in because they just tried to kill themself’s, or told admittance they wanted to die.

I had the idiotic idea I could cure my dysthymia (Minor depression) by sleep deprivation, and it didn’t work at all.

Phosphate ores contain uranium. The gypsum picks up the decay product radium, which is an alkaline earth element like calcium. Radium emits gamma rays and alpha particles, and also produces radon.
She also had asthma, so if that unrecovered tank of chemicals was just affecting her unit, and no one else in that unit had asthma, they might not have sufficiently severe symptoms to notice. It seems quite possible.
The owners of Chernobyl (the government) didn't declare bankruptcy and piss off, they spent massive moneys containing the problem. So, socialize profits, socialize losses.

Trying to stop catastrophes from happening needs regulation and incentives, both of these things are broken in capitalism by its nature. But its not impossible to have regulation and incentives in either capitalist or socialist projects.
At least be fair about it. It's counter propaganda.

The garbage thrown about by those British publications is propaganda. Day in, day out, from many-many more publications, not just a puny web page.
> (a) it sucks and is dangerous, (b) therefore, people who do it, or whose families have done it, feel a lot of pride about it

We really need to get rid of that “proud to kill myself to make my employer richer” trait.

It’s only fair.
Those are serious and cogent argument (although I don't like the "safe space" terminology).

Having said that - the issue at hand right now is whether RMS should or should not be on the GCC steering committee, not managing the FSF. And "leadership" is an even more diffuse term.

Also, one should bear in mind that Stallman has (AFAICT) Asperger's syndrome or High-Functioning Autism (a.k.a. neuro-diversity). That does not excuse much in itself - and in fact, is an argument against making him a powerful singular boss of people - but should be taken into consideration when you think about how this sort of situation develops.

It's not terrible advice because beginners tend to overwrite. This is why you'll find fantasy novels where the first page is scene setting, usually with a twist of the picturesque which is supposed to awe the reader.

But nothing much happens until paragraph 5, by which time no one cares, because they want a novel, not a tour guide. ("And on our left we have the Unicorn Park of Alkkl'Blah. Built by the Morgon Autarchy to commemorate their triumph in the Zoonac Wars of the third century, its thousand foot crystal spires are legendary for...")

You can do a lot with a single telling detail. Instead of describing everything, describe one thing that sums up everything else. Leave the rest to the reader's imagination.
The closest thing we have to coal creation is biochar, so you plant the trees and then anaerobically pyrolyze the material and put it underground.

I work hard to discount “personal experience,” even mine, when actual data is available.
>Behind the scenes, they're very likely using metric.

This isn't true at all, lol. Aerospace in the US has used 'english' measurement from the start. My take on the matter is that all units are arbitrarily defined and flip flopping the units that we already use is a silly idea of progress.
I’ll add to this that Fahrenheit is human-centric by design. Granted he didn’t get it quite right, but 100 degrees F was meant to be average human body temperature.

I’m personally comfortable with both. I prefer customary in the USA and metric in Europe. This is no more uncomfortable for me than speaking English in the USA and one of the other languages I know when in Europe. This might be because I’m native bilingual. I think and dream in both languages.

Edit: Interestingly Americans are quite willing to use metric on a syncretic basis in a way somewhat analogous to how polytheistic religions incorporate foreign beliefs. For example Americans are quite comfortable with the liter as a beverage volume. And certain American subcultures actually use the gram as a subunit of the ounce for small masses.

Everything is susceptible to backdoors depending on your level of paranoia. You can have an open source architecture, like RISC-V, and yet the people at the fab can insert backdoors into the silicon. Building trusted hardware is an area of active research:

* https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/design/stopping-har...

Then you have to worry about trusting software. Even if you compile it from scratch, the compiler itself can be a threat (as outlined by Thompson1984):

Show HN: I'm making a platform for teaching Spanish through Comprehensible Input
Yes, perhaps my comment was too dramatic.
From that point of view, without judging anything about enkiTS and playing devil's advocate, there are lots of software proving their value in production, without having one single line of code subjected to the all best practices that are discussed here or in conferences.

So we should put aside all those YAGNI, TDD, endless review processes, and just focus on delivering actual product value.
There's not much that can be done with it because essentially (not basically) it is acid. Phosphate mining uses sulfuric acid to extract the phosphates. These are large scale operations and produce a lot of water with a pH of 1.5-2. There's no comparable industrial process that can consume it as input. So it sits.

The gypsum stacks are the other waste byproduct. But it's less problematic because it doesn't flow, it just sits. The low level radiation prevents it's incorporation into commodity products such as gypsum wall board.

The byproducts get conflated because for convenience the radioactive gypsum waste from phosphate mining is used to contain the acidic sludge from phosphate mining. But it's the acidic sludge that is the fast acting ecological disaster. The gypsum will give you cancer of course, but as Joe Jackson sings everything gives you cancer. [1]

That seems unlikely to me. I voted remain, but it's a done deal and the EU vaccine situation makes Johnson look good. In spite of everything, Johnson still polls way ahead of Starmer. Unless he does something disastrous (alway a possibility), the Tories will win the next general election. It'll be a decade at least before rejoining is even a remote possibility.

Following up on this... https://xkcd.com/radiation/

Eating a banana is slightly more radiation than living within 50 miles of a nuclear power plant (and 1/3 the amount from living within 50 miles of a coal plant).
Wouldn't say there's plenty, and for sure accusing the poster of "pure gaslighting" is way overboard: VOCs are a broad category, off the shelf monitoring equipment, and surveying the environmental remidiation plan, do not a full tale make. Hence, why OP wrote the post...they still don't have answers or help...
Very rarely do you see the gender of someone driving incompetently. So, most of this ‘personal experience’ is simply conjecture which can self reinforce.
I should note that I often spend my days working construction and regularly average 3 hours of exercise per day. Doesn't help me that much. Big exception made for the first day spent surfing if I haven't surfed in a while, that knocks me out cold.

It makes sense to me that if we stimulate ourselves through sugar, caffeine, artificial light, information, worry etc that we can benefit from a mild depressive to balance the stimulus. The other option is a monk-like existence that I haven't been able to keep going for more than a few months at a time and wouldn't want to go back to.
My point is that some types of radiation carriers are easier to ingest (or breathe in) than others.

This seems like mostly schadenfreude. What does it matter to you if they pay or we all do, assuming that we have more than enough as a society to pay for it, i.e. the benefits of capitalism outweigh the losses.

> Lease agreements can’t simply waive away criminal liability. You can’t commit crimes or fraud against someone just by getting them to sign a waiver.

I think it's specifically problematic that these terms are being put into all sorts of legal documents (lease agreements, employment agreements, etc.) as standard boilerplate.

What you stated is correct, but it almost doesn't matter when the terms end up achieving the goals of the more powerful party, which is to discourage litigation, even in cases where it might be warranted.

You shouldn't be allowed to pretend, in a legal document, that your counterparty isn't allowed to sue you for wrongdoing. That's basically fraud.
