Flash light has very high uv content which can fade the pigments. The effect is similar to a picture that fades because it’s been exposed to sunlight.

I doubt that a day of journalists making pics would have any measurable effect. It’s more a problem if hordes of tourists take pics every day.

Well I don’t know about tech, but multiple swiss banks have had internal advisories against visit to the US, as some of their employees have been arrested.

Well they're french, so M stands for Mille (one thousand). MM is just a thousand squared, and MMM is a thousand qubed.

Once you understand this system you might also understand why the long system makes more sense.

  1000                 = Mille     M
  1000 000             = Million   MM
  1000 000 000         = Milliard  MM M
  1000 000 000 000     = Billion   MM MM 
  1000 000 000 000 000 = Billiard  MM MM M

in the short system the billion (nine zeros) has nothing to do with two. while in the long system it represents double as many zeros as the million. a trillion has three times the Zeros. -ard suffix? add 3 zeros

>what do you mean, no one will do anything?

>>Every time I hear politicians say how they know what needs to be done, but they will get voted out if they try. I don't believe this is true.

I meant we all know that no one will do anything about climate change, because whenever anyone proposes something with an actual effect people come out "rioting, killing, and dying to protest what they see as unfair".

No, I didn't miss it. The problem is that no one actually seems to accept any reduction in quality of life for the commons. Saying that someone else should bear the load is just deflecting responsibility (and incidently what everyone does as soon as a measure hits them specifically).

We all know that no one will do anything.

> Every time I hear politicians say how they know what needs to be done, but they will get voted out if they try. I don't believe this is true.

Imagine people rioting in the streets because you put a carbon tax on gas.

That’s what we had Gawker for.

Have you seen all the kids around? Let’s just say there has always been a lot of sex. What changes is the discussion around it.

Tumblr being just for porn is mostly a meme. I have used Tumblr for many years, not for porn, but for art and lifestyle content, and memes. It actually took me a few years to find out that Tumbler had tons of extremly high quality free porn.

Thr hugh amouts of porn give creatives a certain security that their works won‘t be deleted for nudity and such.

I’m pretty sure Uber has terrible margins :)

sell it short now, cover with the vested shares :)

So for 859 I can buy an XR that doesn’t even include 3D-Touch (A feature standard since the 6S). For 450 I can buy an iPhone 7 with 3D-touch. Doesn’t rly impress me.

Damn bro I‘m rly sorry. I thought Bitcoin was a decentralized system free of government influence. That was the USP, right?

> Uber's new "cheap" pool option forces you to walk up to 5 blocks (!!)

Uber is disrupting the bus service.

Initially IIRC it was a 99 Cent App on the App Store without an annual fee, as there were no in-app purchases on iOS yet

Pretty sure that 4bn gap is more than compensated by the fact that smokers die earlier.

Oil is brought in via the Rhine river and processed at the refinery in Cressier. It would of course be possible to ship seawater instead and desalinate it. I doubt it’s an economical enterprise.

There is very little saltwater supply in Switzerland.

Except that System76 or who ever would need to be capable of building iPad-like hardware. I really don‘t see that, at least not a a competitive price point.

In the past the Twitter “Like” feature had a star instad of a heart and was called “favorite”

No 3D-Touch realy makes this a non-starter. Really sad how Apple can‘t decide on a unified UX paradigm.

The thing about this 10Gbps Salt Fiber Deal is that it's only available in very few places. I have 1Gbps Fiber Internet via Swisscom[0] at my Residence, but Salt Fiber is apparently not availible to me, even though the Fiber Infrastructure is shared between all Internet Providers.

Maybe just setting Windows into one of it’s High Contrast Settings would help[0]. I’m sure MacOS offers a similar feature.

It is deemed a legit source on the matter because the info in the article is correct.

There are actually two phones called iphone se. It was updated from iphone6 hardware to iphone6s hardware partway through it’s life cycle withou a change to the name. The updated SE is also availible in rose gold while the original was not.

> The only purpose these masses can serve is acting as genetic pool for picking the best and uplift them through education.

This is just social darwinism. Not rly a recipe for sucess I can tell ya.

> Even with odd hours, people will gladly do the job if the pay is good.

Definitly true. However good pay costs a lot of money, so less care workers can be hired with the current budget. Either you have to spend more money or accept a reduction in the level of care.

Kids don‘t ask to be born, they don’t choose poor parents.

Ask Brits who their MPs are, see if they know. And this isn’t a brittish problem. Ask Americans who their Representatives are, see if they know.

Not rly an MEP problem I think. Most people don’t care that much.

If I’m not allowed to use your service you won’t get any of my money though. Unlike kids under the age of 13 I have disposable income.
