Re:The Internet in Greece on Wednesday June 26, 2024 @03:29AM (#40797293)
As a regular tourist visiting Greece the slow internet in tourist areas is "a feature, not a bug" for me. It allows me to stay connected, download during the night some podcast shows and stream music. Video is painfully slow which motivates me to hang out with people or read books. Lovely.

There's a rule of thumb saying "Discard everything written or said before 'but'". Why would I trust you, especially that you haven't commented on HN?

I read 99% percent accuracy in a given time. For 1% the algorithm could ask the user for patience and perform a "deeper" search increasing its overall accuracy.
There are cheap bluetooth dongles with female audio port that a pair of headphones could be plugged turning them into bluetooth headphones. Calls will most probably not work, though.
It's on the expensive side, I know, but have you considered using bitrise.io?

It would be interesting to see the ration between the Arab Israelis wishing to marry an Arab from WB/Gaza and Jewish Israelis wishing to marry a Jewish from WB/Gaza. Laws make sense in a context of a society.
in the first case he's on the hook in Serbia, not in Australia

in the second case, these documents resolve to an official Serbian covid certificate web page and it's the country of Serbia responsibility to explain to other countries in the world how that was possible to happen and to find out who did it

now, the fact that Novak visited Spain and his agency "forgot" to mention it in the PLF that's a leverage that could be used

Pimsleur is great to improve your pronunciation and learn until B1. From there on I would recommend using Memrise and ClozeMaster. Memrise has a great collection of community based courses that will push up to C1
Fine, then use Matomo (https://matomo.org/) which even offers a free tier.

That's the argument Solzhenitsin used in his Archipelag Goulag to explain the strand between the Tchetchens and Russians in the labor camps. Vendetta among Thecthens gave them super powers when confronted with Russians knowing they would go unpunished for inflicting fear

Re:How we invented new ways to teach Japanese on Friday May 19, 2017 @03:34AM (#14373624)
I've been learning French for years. After having finished the course on Duolingo you have no reason to come back to the application. Memrise, for example, offers numerous courses for French, other languages, and other areas of knowledge. The repetition algorithm is superb and the ability to add your own courses as community contribution is killing.

Is this a problem with wikipedia.org? Imagine both of these sets of questions tagged as `religion` and you have a common source for all people interested generally in any religion.
Anti-virus software vendors, for example.
Re:Why we should fear a cashless world on Monday March 21, 2016 @10:35AM (#11328318)
There will always be ways to evade taxes and the problem with Italy, Greece and other southern societies is not technical but a weak government which can't impose the already existing laws to their citizens, public workers and politicians themselves. Going cashless is not an excuse for an incompetent tax office and Ministry of Finance.
You're doing exactly the thing that you're accusing of -- labeling. Just because you disagree with left parties' policies you're labeling them they were running towards Stalin and USSR, which is also not very logical since Stalin died in 1952.
