lccarrasco··on Cloudflare threatens Italy exit over €14M fine
If you ignore the fact that the requests that these companies have made previously show incompetence, like when they randomly blocked google drive due to it being used to host copyrighted content. Do you want them randomly disabling CDNs or other sites globally if any user happens to use them for piracy?

lccarrasco··on Cloudflare threatens Italy exit over €14M fine

lccarrasco··on A Japanese company cut 80% of the time needed to manually count pearls
The picture in the bottom of the article shows that varying sizes of pearls need to be counted at the same time, making using weight very unreliable.

Even if only similar size pearls are allowed, small variations multiplied by a large amount of pearls can cause issues, such as distinguishing 100 pearls of 99 grams each from 99 pearls of 100 grams each.

lccarrasco··on Ask HN: What tech job would let me get away with the least real work possible?

lccarrasco··on John Gray: 'What can we learn from cats? Don't live in an imagined future'
I believe that the cure for death would not be distributed evenly at first, and by the time everyone has access to it, there are two options:

1.- We haven't solved the problems caused by overpopulation, and in that case standards of living will drop and people will either have less children or choose to end their lives voluntarily.

2.- We have solved them and there is no longer any issue.

lccarrasco··on Developer Survey Results 2019
I started programming at 15 after getting into custom WarCraft III maps, went from a GUI Interface to JASS (WC3's scripting language) and finally started using C to make my own small mini-games, I imagine it's not an uncommon path among young people that want to be game developers.
lccarrasco··on Patreon ups its revenue cut, but grandfathers in old creators
Yeah you can, but what's more likely, PayPal closing your small account due to many chargebacks in a little time, or them closing a big account with close to average number of chargebacks due to volume?
lccarrasco··on Remembering the Murder You Didn’t Commit (2017)
If you did pass out from drinking, even if you realized that it was a bad idea before anything happened, you deserve the DUI and don't deserve to use a car, I would hope the police don't just let you go free because you were carjacked.
