albert180··on German credit agency earns millions through unlawful customer manipulation
Uhm no, even the richest households are worse off than the poorest in UK https://www.ft.com/content/653bbb26-8a22-4db3-b43d-c34a0b774...

If Access to Health Care in the US is so great, why is infant mortality worse than in Cuba and they score dead last in every Health or Life Expectancy Metric among the G7?

Also if your primary doctor determines that you need an urgent appointment, they can give you a priority code, which gives you a quick appointment, since those visits are paid on top of the regular budget for the specialist
albert180··on German credit agency earns millions through unlawful customer manipulation
You know, I'm a med student, so I have a bit more experience :) The Head/Experienced Doctor is still letting the Learning Doctor doing everything and pops in only for the visit. Also the "standard" Patients get also checked by a Oberarzt regularly. The difference is miniscule. The Rooms are sometimes nicer I agree, but the care you get is still 100% the same. The Hospital also doesn't get extra money for the treatment besides the Fee for the "Chefarzt" and the nicer room. Otherwise they'll only get the same DRG payout as for a "public patient"

That's utter bullshit. Your quality of care in the hospital is exactly the same as with public health insurance. Also sometimes private insurance is even worse when it comes to addiction and psychological treatments
albert180··on I hacked a train toilet
That's not how this works in most of the world. And it's good like that. Train travel doesn't need to suck as much as flying
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
None, there is a decent emulator included with Android Studio
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
South Korea already forced Apple to allow other payment processors, I guess China will follow surely suit if the EU is successful. If that happens, it doesn't matter that much anymore if the US follows or not
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
App Development for Android is much easier. No Bullshit recurring Fees, no need to buy specific Google Hardware etc...
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
Well if Safari wouldn't intentionally suck, more people would choose to use Progressive WebApps instead of going through all the hassle of creating a dedicated iOS App
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
I don't see how they don't discriminate Netflix or Spotify with this rules against Apple Music or TV+
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
Well if the EU manages to hold a hard line against Apple, other big markets will surely follow.
albert180··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
Well they need to wait a few more months before Apple will get their teeth kicked in, for this Bullshit Compliance by the EU Commission, and cry about handing over a sizeable chunk of their global turnover to them. Maximum fine under DSA is 10% of Global Turnover
albert180··on No car company has taken up Tesla's offer to license FSD
I wonder why no one wants to license a L2 ADAS when everyone else already has moved on to L3 systems? It's a mystery
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Because you did work to localize it, do GDPR Compliance and stuff?
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
I never said that Apple's Lawyers are idiots. They are probably testing the boundaries. If they get fined, they will comply, if they get away with this, they will make more money every year
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Yes that's it's purpose facepalm
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Widespread malware isn't a thing on Android. But you lost me already at "iPhones are by far the best Smartphones" They are so crippled, I couldn't imagine using one
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Well considering this is HackerNews, you will certainly find a Bootlicker who would defend this, if some company tried this
albert180··on Ask HN: Any legal way against forced software upgrades and feature removal
I run it on a ThinkPad T470, I guess the Overlap between People Run Linux on a Laptop and it's a ThinkPad is pretty big
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Don't forget Sponsorblock for YouTube. It makes the experience so much nicer
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
It's all doom bullshit from Apple Fanboys. It's like they never touched an Android Phone in their live
albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
It's so pathetic right? Please, please Apple, charge me for everything through the nose. I'm not worthy of deciding for myself and using my own brain.

I also don't know anyone outside my Techbubble who has sideloaded Apps, neither someone who has gotten a virus so far. Also the Bullshit about 5 different App Stores has never materialized.

albert180··on Apple announces changes to iOS, Safari, and the App Store in the European Union
Yes it's so hard to cancel Netflix on the Website, and resubscribing is even harder. Lol
albert180··on Chrome experimental AI features
Another reason to use Firefox
albert180··on Boeing whistleblower: MAX 9 production line has "enormous volume of defects"
The awful software they intentionally made not redundant so they wouldn't have to retrain and inform the pilots about it, as it would have then be classified as Security Critical (which it obviously was)?

Also first blaming bad maintenance then poor training, when they knew they fucked up?

albert180··on United Airlines CEO says the airline will consider alternatives to Boeing
They don't need to comply as other countries have then the right to implement punitive import dutys and they already did so with regards of Airbus/Boeing
albert180··on Ask HN: Any legal way against forced software upgrades and feature removal
I've needed 0 Seconds of hacking since using Fedora for 2 years. Linux has evolved in the last 14 Years
albert180··on Kayak's new flight filter allows you to exclude aircraft models
Here in Germany "surprising" clauses in T&C's are void in contracts with end customers as the legislators know that nobody bothers to read them
albert180··on United Airlines CEO says the airline will consider alternatives to Boeing
Yes, this will never happen. Look at all the disputes between USA and Europe at the WTO because of Airbus/Boeing over lesser things
