Do you mean 'O&O shut up 10 ++'? I only found that. It's not open source though. How come you 'trust it with your life'?

> educated criminals work within the law

payment can be done anonymously through cash in the mail. Lot of services offer that. Nevertheless, it would be foolish to think a commercial VPN provider is enough to keep the three letter boys and girls away - or other sophisticated actors. I just hope it's enough to watch movies online...

Chicken Incubator

by 'spare' I think he/she meant something like "ah, whatever, I don't care"

'not spare' would be: "50€ ? I could buy xy for that!"

would be interesting to hear from a foreign how '9 euro ticket' sounds to you. Any opinions on that?

that's a comprehensible explanation. Thanks for taking the time and hopefully things are going better in the future :)

maybe I misunderstand your point, but this doesn't sound like something a team player would say. Everyone can learn something and better. The better your team, the better your managing results will be. As easy as that.

If it's really that bad, then I wonder how someone ended up in such a place.

it doesn't. that's the point. the comment I was replying to was down-voted and I suspected people misread exactly that.

reminds me of the language of a rather important person from recent years..

It's quite common that crypto currencies have an almost religious following nowadays, but she was one of the first. Where bitcoin was propagated by tech savvy people, One Coin collected money from average Joes. They took the term 'crypto-queen' to the 'real-world'.

For those who didn't click: It's a BBC podcast. So not only is the content/ information well researched, but it's of very high production quality as well. With the influx of uncountable new podcasts every week, I think that's something to note here. It's a very well done podcast, not only content-wise - that's what I wanted to say.

Maybe take the opportunity and grow (qualitatively) your team with those challenges. In the end you're just as good as your team. So it's in your best interest to teach them everything you can offer.

'noticing something' is neutral. 'bothered' is indeed not the way.

What's the longest time you kept them occupied?

> Descartes was attempting to "prove" logically that the world exists [...].

Was he? I thought he wanted to prove that god exists. Pretty early in his meditations he gets the physical world out of the way.

Generally speaking, I agree with you.

But I don't imagine it as straight forward (easy) as you describe it.

> quitting the religion is always the Plan B

No. Quitting the religion is 'quitting Plan A'.'Quitting Plan A' is not plan B - it's having no plan at all.

They put their life (probably decades) into a highly ideological field. Leaving that is not easy, I suppose. It's more than giving up convenience

> There are websites out there dedicated to religious clergy

I'd be interested in reading that. Have a link?

Although it might be difficult to prove if those sites are legit...

"HN [...] degenerate[s] into what I'd expect on reddit" is a no no ;)

I suppose I'm a supporter of the "right to repair" and curious. Do you have something (more on the general side) that one has to be aware about this topic when discussing?

It's a catastrophe with windows. Make two windows snap to the borders, so together they're fullscreen? 2 pixel gap between the windows; 1 pixel gap at the right, left and upper side; 2 pixel gap to the windows bar at the bottom. How can this be so hard? And even if it's hard, this is so obvious you really want to fix it.

Depends on how you'd define 'immortality' in your though experiment.

I'd actually disagree with you - under the premise, you'd be able to end your life as you will.

In that case, hell yes, I'm in for that. I'm in my mid 20s and the past years have been filled with burn-out, depression and literal still stand career-/ education- wise. I can now really grasp how short life actually is. It's so easy (I did it!) to actually waste a notable portion of your life span.We're talking more than half a decade. It gives me shivers. I have so many interests and I'm never bored. I can find interesting topics in any domain and if I could, I'd stay in university my whole life. So, to make this short, I'd be the ultimate dream of mine to not have to care about what to fill my life with. It steamrolls me and I get a lot of fear out of it. But not the fear that drives you, the fear that paralyzes.

I'm always wondering what's the rules for using pictures/ art/ etc. for inspiration. Specifically where the border is between inspiration and heavily inspired (almost copied).

Edit: Like, to what point it is accepted by the 'community', but also legal boundaries.

I think I know how you feel. I'm not a native speaker too, and for a long time I was not confident on how to properly communicate what I wanted.

Regarding HN, I think, you want to cut the fluff (contrary to what others said in the comments). You ask a question to get an answer. Here are two aspects of it:

- If you ask something, I expect you to have put at least some time and thought into your question beforehand. This could be a quick google search or go to Algolia [1] and see if someone asked a similar question before you. If you find something, but the question remains, attach it to your post. Others then don't have to start over again and can give you a better answer (or follow-up question).

- If you want to show good will (without clustering your post with disclaimers), actively avoid absolutisms. See what I did in my fist sentence in this comment: I can not possibly know how you feel. But I can tell you that I think I know it. I'm taking a step back and communicate that I might be wrong, but this is how I feel/ observe/ think/ reason/ etc. - you get it.

Edit: For example [1] https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

You know that they're doing exactly that, don't you?

Dude, really?

The problem being that every 3 month there is a mass shooting with about 20 casualties. Including schools.

How about you also read the first part of the sentence you cited me on:

> I'm not in for a political discussion about a solution

I explicitly stated that I am not in for that. For the exact reason you want to blame me for. Maybe read more careful next time or put up a little more good will. Especially on a delicate topic like this.

Are you assuming that only those who have it worst can truly suffer?

Or are you in possession of the true meaning of the word 'suffer' and stand above us all to decide whether someone is suffering or not?

Without being actually affected by all this (not a US citizen), I can say that your comment is flawed either way.

I don't have social media (the big ones). I rarely read news papers. Nevertheless I don't miss bigger events. This is actually not about a specific event. You must have misunderstood me.

What's tiring (and turns people cynic) is, that even though a problem is visible for everyone to see, nothing ever (seemingly) changes. That seems like a universal behavior that can not only be seen in the US, but everywhere humans are involved.

There is so much to be tired from. Lots of stuff repeats itself over and over again and nothing (seemingly) ever changes. Only yesterday the mass shooting in Texas. I'm not a US citizen, but every time I wonder how many times more do US people need to suffer before finally changing 'something'. I'm not in for a political discussion about a solution, but it should be obvious that there is a problem. No other country has this problem (on that scale). How many times more?

Oh ok, my bad. Thanks

> shows Zuck's [...] business genius

> I think 99% of executives on earth wouldn't have made that decision.

We conclude, 99% of executives are geniuses. I just feel like the term 'genius' gets thrown around inflationary. Being successful != being a genius. There is more to it (it actually isn't even a requirement) . At least I want to believe that.
