"drops" is unclear here - it could mean either "publishes" or "retracts"

Yes but not to the same extent. Professional, paid moderators following a centrally-defined set of rules are going to act differently to terminally-online volunteer mods.

Good luck actually getting them to do something. Also "Europe" is an entire continent with many different countries and laws, you might want to be more specific.

I've flown on half a dozen different airlines this year and all have had exactly the same stance: no power banks in checked luggage, and if they're in hand luggage you must be able to see them at all times (not in overhead storage).

You're also not allowed to use them even if you do have them with you. This is all very strictly enforced with reminders at the check-in desk and several announcements before take-off.

You can't vote for your own country so Australian bedtime is irrelevant.

Using it while flying will be complicated by the fact that all airlines have banned the use of power banks. If the onboard USB socket isn't very powerful then you'll only get an hours' use.

> It's a missed opportunity for the digital soverignty the EU says it so badly needs. The code for a government backed WhatsApp competitor is there, in multiple instances even. Launch a WhatsApp clone and put all governement communication through it so everyone has to have it installed, and you have an instant EU-wide userbase. From there, people will naturally start to use it between themselves.

I think you have completely misjudged how much the majority of people would not want to use an EU-controlled chat app.

> Those are both hilarious to me.

Why is it hilarious to believe that the industry leader might be better at something than doing it yourself?

I never had dry eyes until I got laser eye surgery. Some mornings I wake up with a very sore dry left eye.

One thing that helps with fatigue was to get some very weak glasses that I use when I'm working at a computer. They just make my eyes much more relaxed.

I'm not asking for guesses thank you (especially if they turn out to be incorrect).

What does "LCOE" stand for?

>But it is amusing to see how humanity continues to oppose tech and the tech buldozes anyway, like a evil monster.

So you're saying the UK should never have built a railway system? It sounds like tech is right.

The way compound interest works then the impact of taking months off mid-career can have a huge impact on retirement age. I'd personally rather just work continuously and retire younger.

Switzerland is in Europe

> Qatar was manifestly unsuitable

Every stadium was within a 30 mile radius and fans reported a clean, safe experience. Sounds like a good place for a tournament to me.

CONCACAF almost always share opinions with UEFA, that really wasn't a surprise or anything new.

CONCACAF and UEFA almost always vote together, but they are far outnumbered by every other region and FIFA only needs a majority vote for a rule to pass. You're excluding about half of the planet by only mentioning Africa.

The new Chromecasts and Apple TVs are really pretty good. I connect my LG TV to the wifi every few months to run updates, then disconnect it after. I control my TV through the Chromecast remote, so I never see any LG dashboards/apps.

Another advantage of the "it's on your phone" aspect is Consistency. You get into a new car, all you need to figure out is how to open CarPlay, no need to learning a completely different and often complicated infotainment system.

This has been the standard for most/all major tourist attractions for years now.

15 years ago a FAANG flew me from England to the US for a grad interview. The HR recruiter met me for a coffee before the tech interviews started and said she'd ask me some gentle questions to ease me into the day.

She opened with "do you believe in god?" Not knowing laws or workers' rights in a foreign country then I had to give a very stunted, mumbled response. I complained after I got back home and was told she should not have asked that question.

A 30 min 1-1 per week per report would be a full working day. Never mind that if you're an IC then you'll also be expected to support other people using your code, as well as analysing and approving decisions for your reports.

> For whatever reason, I forwarded this email to my parents, brother, and then-fiancee Dana.

A very strange action to take for someone who claims to have no recollection of the meeting.

Is there a way to get rid of the text box overlay or does it just disappear when you print it?

In my experience many of them do feel like they're doing something important, and some seem principally motivated to do the job by the promise of being able to bully travellers.

I asked a novel question, well-written and clear, and a "subject matter expert" decided it was too similar to another question (it wasn't), so they defaced it, downvoted it and closed it.

Stack Overflow is dying, it's extremely difficult to get new questions through. Even if they survive moderation then they're unlikely to get answers.

If I have a question for SO these days then I ask Claude instead and tell it to use SO where possible. It's preferable to actually asking it on SO which often results in the question being edited, downvoted and closed by someone with an anime child profile picture.

It's become a lot more difficult to win online since online poker was banned in the USA. The USA sat at a huge net loss online and every other country profited.

They hold students back if they don't pass a basic reading literacy test in third grade.

Nando's chips are cooked fresh when the delivery driver arrives so that they're as fresh as possible. The probelm here is that chips travel horribly.
