Orbán looks up to Putin, he uses his methods against the opposition in Hungary and wishes having power like him, but of course Hungary is a tiny country, so his leeway is much more limited.

Yet, he wants to show Putin he's not against him, not even in this situation.

How did they hack you? Did you click on a link in a message which installed some keylogger on your computer? Or did you have an easy to guess password? Did you have two factor authentication?

One can even envision an extension which fetches the caching dates automatically and shows them right beside the search results.

I use ditto too and set it so it has everyting I copied in the last 2 weeks. It's really nice to be able to instantly retrieve some text which I copied 4 days ago, for example.

If you copy your password then use it and then delete the item from the clipboard manager manually.

You can use emacs with vim-keys or any other config you like.

I never used the built in keys for cursor movement (I use the arrow keys), buffer switching (I define my own more efficient key), etc.

Let's say Clearview says they are deleting the data. How could France make sure the data is actually deleted? Is it possible without perusing Clearview's source code and accessing its servers?

Why don't they sue them in a Russian court? There are laws against cybercrime there too.

I've used Wokrave for many years which forces me to take regular breaks. Sometimes it can be annoying when it interrupts your flow, but as far as I'm concerned my eyes are worth a bit of annoyance.

> info might be better for dedicated reading of documentation (and I like using it in emacs for that), but perceived as less so when you quickly, say, want to look up a flag for ls.

You can search and navigate with info very efficiently. In your case searching for 'flags' should quickly show the relevant info.

According to emacswiki anything.el (which was the predecessor of Helm) started in 2007. Compared to that Sublime v2 which had the command palette according to the article, came out in 2013.

Emacs should also have been mentioned, because M-x is a simple command palette and it's there for 30-40 years or so.

I guess a hiker stops from time to time to rest, so surely he has time to check the texts.

He didn't read the texts either? It takes a second, they are right on the phone's notification screen, assuming he had a smartphone.

Dirty cars would be reported, so the previous user has to pay for the cleaning and the current user could get a free ride for the inconvenience. If people have to pay for cleaning then they will pay attention to keep the car clean.

Of course, the service is only a real alternative if a car is there within 5 minutes for you. People wouldn't tolerate more waiting.

It will be a gradual process and some people will still prefer to own a car, but in the long run owning a car could be a luxury if the driverless taxi really matures and it becomes much cheaper.

> refusing to drive you ever again because that one time you puked when drunk at 2am

Don't think it would happen, the fleet company will simply charge you for the cleaning and refuse service for you only if you refuse to pay the cleaning bill. People will be very careful to keep the car clean if they pay for the cleaning.

Also, it's unlikely only one company will have full self driving cars, so there will be competing fleets.

If using this taxi fleet is cheaper than owning a car and you can have a car outside your house in at most, say, 5 minutes then most consumer will be happy to take it.

Choosing no car maintenance, no other hassle and cheaper is a no brainer.

Obviuosly, some people prefer that (and I guess high end car users like going fast and doing the switching up manually), but others don't. Most people who use their cars mostly in the city where the traffic is often slow, you drive in stop-and-go traffic would prefer automatic to constantly switching up and down.

> Look at the European market: manual gears everywhere

Automatic is more expensive. If they had the same price tag then most people would buy automatic in Europe too, because it's more convenient.

> Order a smart phone, return a faulty/old one of the same model, sell the new one. Profit.

Don't sellers there record the serial number of phones? I thought it was routine everywhere.

If the serial number is recorded for the transaction then they can't just send back any other phone with a different serial number.

What are the other options? Surely, none if them is trivially feasible, otherwise we'd see sites using them instead of the current monetization model?

Untargeted ads means less revenue, so if we go that way prepare for free sites going away or having to pay for some features.

E.g. basic Gmail will be free, but if you want something like Undo Send, etc. then you'll have to pay a monthly fee for it.

And these fees from the various sites will add up quickly.

Most people want things for free. If you asked them if they want free access with ads or paid access without ads I guess most of them would choose the first option.

> Most people need some trainings to be able to get into something new. If they have not been taught REPL driven programming, I don't think they can discover it by themselves, despite maybe hearing others talking about it constantly.

Does Emacs count? I don't know Clojure, but I learned elisp for programming emacs and I discovered myself the power of evaluating any part of the code I write on the fly, experimenting with it. It's really useful in practice.

> Once you got twitter and instagram and reddit

Yep, that's why I have none of these installed on my phone. I read reddit only when I'm sitting at my laptop.

The no smart phone part seems unnecessary. I have a smartphone for maps, photos, notes, calendar and that's about it. Sometimes looking up info on the net.

The smartphone itself is not the problem. The problem is you if you can't stop browsing on it.

> Problem with phone calls is that they are synchronous, yet quite often things callers want to resolve can be resolved asynchronously (= via text messages & emails), but you can handle those when it's convenient.

Very true. The OP doesn't understand phone calls interrupt people most of the time unnecessarily. I like texts and emails, because I can process them whenever it's convenient for me, not when it's convenient for the other person.

Emacs has built in documentation. Learning emacs lisp is a good start:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/eintr/in...

This manual is also the part of the emacs distribution.
