Are Matrix clients reliable and fast enough to use them? I am looking forwards to install them to my family but last time I tried they were a little bit unresponsive.

There is already a well known expression for this in European languages "Voting with their feet":

I had. Algebra and analysis are still considered by some people harder and "purer" than let's say combinatorics, applied or statistical mathematics.

I am getting $1.2M. What it would make more sense. Ibiza in the 60s was dirty cheap compared to what it is today.

I have a friend that worked developing Internet in Equatorial Guinea around 2014. He told me that in a couple of occasions, Chinese teams came there to install surveillance systems.

So this is already happening.

Loading an entire mainframe on your small boat to store in a punched card some comments about a random Polaroid selfie.

It seems painful. I feel that in Romance languages is easier to identify the roots.

Now that I think about it, I have never read Romance text written before the XIII century: Cantigas, Dante, etc.

English is not a Romance language. It is Germanic.

> there is a substantial, but not huge amount of luck

Luck in turn based games make some playstyles impossible. Being aggressive is hard. You may only have to be extremely unlucky in one attack to get completely exposed the next turn. In Wesnoth is even worse because you have to grind your units to death.

I know that the game is that way on purpose but I feel that it makes it a niche game. For me, it has all the bad parts of a card game and a an RPG.

Take the system that you are most comfortable with and tone it down. Start incorporating rules if you feel that your kids can handle them.

Dice and systems should not get in the way. Just teach them the very basic (what is passing/failing a dice roll) and add nuance from there.

I had to upload a a national id or passport when I registered.

I completely agree with you.

Some channels get some money before they get closed though.

Look, (ethnic) Russian, (ethnic) Caucasians and Tatars do not look alike. Same in Congo with the Bantu, Pygmy and Nilotic. You are not even choosing good examples for your arguments. Most ethnics conflicts in the world might not even skin colour related because they occur between neighbors. Pakistan/India, the Balkans, Azerbaijan/Armenia etc.

But hey, whatever fits your narrative.

Copyright infringement is still big in Youtube. It is flooded with stolen content. Big things The Simpson or Family guy or even full films. But also compilation channels from other Youtubers:

Decentralization of power is not always better. It is one of the reasons that China could improve its economy faster than India, for example. Projects like Galileo are impossible without centralization. If the EU did not exist Trump could bully his way in Europe. And so on.

> You are a prime example of this - you just asserted that most people in the UK are racist because they were concerned about the volume of immigration, although the UK is in fact the most ethnically diverse nation in Europe. [...] Polish isn't even a race, Polish people are white!

Ethnicity is much more than looking alike. Not in Europe, nor in Asia, nor in Africa, nor in America (N or S). And a good % of people with Polish ancestry can be easily recognized in UK. They are not that similar.

And by the way, UK is not the most ethnically diverse country in Europe, the EU, or Western Europe:

That is like one Lord of The Rings or six 1984 every two years. A month and change for Animal Farm. Two months for "man bash".

It sounds like a full time job.

That is not what I see in my Firefox:

It is probably some kind of weird configuration in my computer though.

I have tried to scroll, and move around but the contrast does not change.

I cannot read the article unless I turn on Reader View in Firefox. The text is almost white.

The EU Parliament President is Antonio Tajani. Verhofstadt is just a regular MEP, though he is also chair of an European party that commands 7-8% of the MEPs.

Yes, it is. In mice we even know some enzymes responsible for this:

What does it mean "oriented to old people"? Old people can play anything, they just have slower reflexes. Silver Snipers are 60-80 years old and play Counter Strike:

It depends where you live in the UK. In Cambridge (just next to London) is extremely common.

I am not sure if losing Facebook access counts as losing any kind of "technology". They cannot block the use of their FOSS code in Europe, isn't?

I am not sure the impact of closing their offices in Europe, though I am sure their the most interesting work is done in USA.

z and autojump are great, but if you want a full fledged file manager you should try ranger:

For news, newsboat is quite nice:

https://newsboat.org/

For parsing and select actions over url links you can use urlview (it works perfectly with pdftotext, newsboat, mutt, vim, w3m, etc.):

https://github.com/sigpipe/urlview

You can download webpages with httrack:

http://www.httrack.com/

rsync is a fundamental tool to move files between computers or do backups, forget about scp:

https://rsync.samba.org/

You can work with most pdf and ps (those that are not scanned images) using your usual text tools,

http://www.xpdfreader.com/

There are even ready to go pdf + grep commands:

https://pdfgrep.org/

Somewhat meta, when you live in the terminal you need to be sure that you are a bit POSIX compliant. shellcheck is a good tool for that:

https://www.shellcheck.net/

Finally, there are a two packages that should be in any distributions (include commands like vidir, parallel, watch, etc.):

Besides that, isn't hip hop like 40 years old? To put this into context to the HN audience, Unix is from around the same time.

I always wondered if non-EU students are going to keep coming in the long term too. Only Chinese for example, there are 60k undergrads coming every year. That should be about $1.2B/yr for three years only in tuition fees.

It is not that much money at the end of the day but it has to be important because universities are building campus overseas to capture all those students.

And at some point Indian, Chinese, etc. universities will become more attractive and that money flow will stop too.

I completely misunderstood what he said.

I agree with him, I consume most of my news using RSS and even in pages that do not have RSS (like soundcloud) there is a RSS server somewhere serving the feed.

Here is the RSS feed of Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/rss

Edit:

Every single of those webpages have an RSS feed.

You can get into the EU through Spain but you need some savings (~30.000€). More info here:
