Nice try, LLM!

It seems like it’s only a proposal at this point?

Generics were also controversial and it took multiple iterations and years to get them done.

I wouldn’t call it “suddenly”.

Also, why do they need the data “suddenly”? What do you suggest?

Because they take notes, and they may come for the OP one day?

Looks like they are not going out of their way for their users:

> which absolute genious had the idea to block a working travel app for your forced clown update?! for people on the road. in a foreign country. on roaming. needing their travel info but your 155MB name and look update is of course a priority

Imho a terrible name. TripActions is informative. Navan? Can’t even write it without autocorrect kicking in. Also I’m sure I forget the name on my next trip in 6 months.

Thank you for taking time to write the detailed answer. Not my subject, but I enjoy reading such takes on HN.

In Poland also:

- Blik: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blik (similar to payconiq in Lux, and I assume there are similar systems in the other countries)

- Pay by link: was very popular since forever in Poland. Seems quite safe, and lower fees than CC/paypall (I don't have a good wikipedia link in English, maybe it's called differently in different countries. The payment gateway asks you to log it to the bank—it redirects to the bank webpage, it's not scraping—and bank then asks you to confirm via app/sms and issues an instantaneous transfer). PayU is quite a popular gateway for that https://corporate.payu.com

WTF!!! Same here, the playlists are now public

I wonder if he’d change his mind if this was someone else’s incident.

++ for fielmann, I’ve used them in Poland a couple of times (so possibly they are in more countries as well). Good quality and a decent price. Note they have a lot of options, also including more “designer” frames, which are getting expensive. Their brand frames are good quality though if you can find some that you like.

Can you point me where specifically did he do it?

What should they charge for then?

I think this is aimed to reduce the number of cars in a household, say from 2 -> 1. Not necessarily from 1 to 0.

> This is because they don’t like money that is independent from state control.

Who is “they”?

Seriously, you equate banning TikTok to being a racist or an antisemite?

Interesting, looks like they try to emulate Amazon. Wonder how their current culture compares to these new principles:

1. Make individuals responsible for making timely decisions

2. “Give product leaders visibility into their P&L”

3. Teams publish APIs

4. Teams <10 ppl

5. Demos and 1 pagers instead of slide decks

6. Something about shared services

I read this advice as more from a perspective of the person who emails someone inbox-unorganized.

So if person A is unorganized with their emails and I need or want something from them I'd better followup (for my own sake, to get the message across no matter the org skills of person A).

I think it's a bit cultural though. My grandmother would say that if someone didn't reply to her, call her back, etc. then it is "pushy" to ping them again and it's good manners not to. I'm Polish, she was Polish. I think the level of acceptable "pushyness" raised between her and my generation and I'd be OK being more aggressive.

Thanks for the honesty. And Estonia had a cheaper gas when they were part of the USSR. Any actual freedoms they might or might not have back then are only _bs political slogans_.

I don’t know if like the spoiled grain analogy.

If my stock portfolio was worth $1000 yesterday and is only $800 we don’t say the $200 was destroyed. I have the same number of stock. It may go down further, but it can also go up to say $1100 tomorrow. Is this a new being value created, or only capricious market pricing things differently?

Until I sell, there is no real gain or loss. And for the farmer, if the grain goes bad it’s not temporarily, it will never recover. This might have been a better analogy if the underlying real estate was destroyed (uninsured and fire, etc).

Thanks, I wasn’t aware it is not a “global” convention and wasn’t sure what does the parent make fun of.

One learns every day :) I will be more careful about this when writing centuries in English the next time.

Also this poster on quora have a detailed list https://www.quora.com/Why-do-we-write-century-numbers-with-I...

I enjoyed reading The Verge by P. Wyman https://www.amazon.com/Verge-Reformation-Renaissance-Forty-Y...

It describes changes that happened in war, mining, shipping, trade in (mostly western) Europe in the last decades of XV century. The common theme is finance and it includes a chapter on how bank houses became bigger and could secure much bigger loans (which allowed bigger states to wage wars, or rich individuals to bid for top titles ;)).

Fun read.

Most (all?) restrictions where imposed by the governments. Can you give us more details or some example on that “total control” the European Commission actually exercised.

I think if the corporations/foreigners but to rent, this is OK--the house is on the rental market and doesn't sit empty.

The problem arises if ppl park money in the real estate and the units are empty: - This is often "luxury" housing which prevents a more regular buyer/renter-friendly housing units to be built.

Another problem is that some units are converted to airbnbs, and they start to compete on the hotel/business/vacation short-term rental market instead of being rent out for long term for people who live/work in the area.

I'm based in the EU, and this is what I've seen in some of the cities/neighborhoods here. I know very little about Canada's real estate market.

In Poland another phenomenon (not sure how widespread outside of PL) is that ppl buy large-ish apartments and split them into multiple rooms or studios and rent them out to students or ppl early in their career. This inflates prices (as the capital that would have been invested in the stock market goes to housing), but otherwise the number of units increases, so probably less of an issue in the grand scheme of things.

What I don't understand looking at the article is how

> “signals” of potential fraud

turned into 100k EUR fines. Shouldn't the "signal" only flag suspect transfers and start in-person investigation?

Or did they just slap the fines without any human due-process?

I guess this is only possible because it's an administrative fine, and not a criminal case, right?

Have you tired to raise specific US abuses here on HN? What was the response?

Nice post, I like how it addresses only a chunk of the problem and walks the reader through it.

What’s a bit unclear to me, is why do we need the Java version of the _types_ library. Looks like the humbleui already depends on clojure.

Of course I must have had a bad day… Thanks!

I’d say the opposite, there needs to be a delta between values and actual behavior.

I want to be a good husband, dedicated employee, etc. Am I? I’d like to think more often than not. But we all err, and I value the transparency/courage to ack that we are not perfect on our values and still have a long way to go.

For me the a flag would be if a person/company is not willing to acknowledge they are not as good as they public values are. (Because how can they improve if they can’t even ack it).

+1 as well. Not a lot of usage, but sometimes you want to add multiline notes (there’s a notes field, I know, every others field type can be added).

3 * A --> Alphabet, Apple and what's the third A?

I honestly don’t know (I’m not US-based), but the article reads like both candidates are pro-bitcoin.
