No worries, me too. And I agree with you as well.

Good point.

OTOH, in that sense, internet (or more specifically, WWW) is technically built in Europe, so can we say WWW is a European product? :D

Not OP, but my experience was most of the malware-like apps on App Store were top ads of apps with names similar to the original ones: such as Whatsapp or Office.

I geniunely wonder if Windows G's start menu also use React and if the start menu, right click or Windows Search still sucks in Windows G or not :)

Not op, and I generally agree with your assumption but not for Microsoft, as I don't think it's limited to Windows:

Teams, Office (especially online), One Drive, SharePoint, Azure, GitHub, LinkedIn, all became very shitty and partially unusable with increasing number of weird bugs or problems lately.

> Then invest in and attract people to build it. I'd move to Europe if the salary was competitive.

True that. Also in many countries in Europe, IT jobs are not "special" anymore and salaries are similar to the median.

Apple, do you want to lose customers? Because that's how you lose customers.

But seriously, one of the reasons why I got iPhone for my parents to replace their Androids is it's relatively safer environment. But this change increases potential spam and attack surface.

Oh, thank you very much. That was very helpful.

I asked ChatGPT again for the source of 147, with that quote, which replied me:

> I don’t know the full list of those 147 countries because the publicly available World Bank summary statistics provide only the total number, not a ready-made list of all partners. The detailed underlying data (e.g., from UN Comtrade or the World Bank’s WITS interface) would be required to extract the complete set of partner names.

So I went to the World Bank WITS for Iran's oil exports and the latest data shows 65 partner countries: https://wits.worldbank.org/CountryProfile/en/Country/IRN/Yea...

These are just for the oil. Probably the number of countries with any active trade with Iran is higher.

( PS: Also don't get me wrong; I didn't ask the question or did the research to try to prove you wrong; I am just curious to learn more about it. I was primarily curious how is still a trade with Iran, and if the sanctions against Iran has ever changed since 2022 - especially after Russian invasion of Ukraine )

> 147 countries import oil from Iran

Could you please provide source to this claim? I asked ChatGPT but it didn't know :( Sorry...

This reminds me of the definiton by Lionel Robbins:

   > Economics is the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.

Or the simpler version I remember:

   > Economics is about allocating limited natural resources to unlimited human desire.

I was just browsing this website and found that the jobs are actually listed at https://www.usajobs.gov I think.

The latter website, job search, job details and help center look actually nice. Unfortunately I'm living in EU and not an American citizen, but I wish EU did something similar.

(There is https://eures.europa.eu but just like almost any other EU website, the design is very confusing and cluttered)

A movie theater in my city (northern europe) shown both Kiki's Delivery Service and Howl's Moving Castle. It was just pure joy to watch them in big screen.

I wish they were remastered in 4K, though.

Isn't "number of old men who die from heart attacks while doing anything is non zero"?

Maybe let's not program them to feel pain then? </bigbrain>

Thank you, Brussels effect.

Here's the actual list from the article for anyone like me (404media has paywall and archive.is doesn't work from Baltics):

As a long-time Estonian resident and engineer, how can I help? (My email is in my profile)

FYI: NextDNS is free up to 300,000 queries a month.

I also wrote here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46191045

DNS level ad-blocking usually doesn't break websites. (I use NextDNS)

The ad domains straight up don't resolve at all and never get loaded. I don't have any adblock/ublock, so the websites almost never could detect if I block ads or not.

Wdym by custom filters?

Maybe that's what you ask: NextDNS has:

- 50+ blocklists ready to use (including Easylist, Adguard, HaGeZi, Energized). You enable the ones you wish to use

- Many privacy options you can enable, including Disguised Third-Party Trackers (TIP), CNAME flattening

- Many security options you can enable, including Cryptojacking, Google Safe Browsing, IDN Homograph attacks, Typosquatting, dynamic hostnames

- Ready-to-use application-based and category-based allowing/blocking

- Custom blocking options such as allowlists, denylists, blocking certain TLDs, custom rewrites

It also has:

- Option to "Bypass Age Verification"

- Option to keep logs (in EU, Swiss or US) or not

- Free to use up to 300,000 queries / month

- Multiple profiles for different clients

- Supports virtually all browsers and all OS, desktop and mobile, either via its official app, configuration profile (iOS), or IPv4, IPv6, DNS-over-TLS/QUIC, DNS-over-HTTPS

Very similarly, I use NextDNS, with all the filters enabled except few exceptions that I manually add.

It's basically like a Raspberry Pi hole; but on cloud, very easy to configure and with so many options and ready-to-use blocklists. It's free up to 3 million queries a month.

Right. In fact, AFAIK only a handful of countries have a jury, which are mainly ex british colonies. Almost everywhere else there is constitution and so.

Forgive me if I'm working but I thought all the socialist/communist/marxist country leaders and their friends were left oligarchs by definition?

I believe that "rando" here is Gergely Orosz, famous creator of https://www.pragmaticengineer.com and ex-team lead at Uber.

How would they compare to NextDNS?

I apologize but weren't we all one of those normies when we first started using Linux or any other computer?

I was just going to ask, why not use SecureDrop [0] instead, but then I realized Truthwave also uses SecureDrop [1].

I feel like in the past, the furnitures have more color and soul and just furniture itself is enough to decorate homes, while newer furnitures are usually white and you need smaller and colorful things and more stuff to complete it - otherwise feels bland.

I'm new to Sora. Which step are we in at the moment?

I used the web version last month for an inside town hall meeting with ~1k participants and it was as smooth as it could be.
