Question is more like "why wouldn't this be possible"

>If you need an employee to produce a continuous task log, they aren't producing value

Uh? This is not some kind of engineering job. An employee of mcdonalds who's not flipping burgers is indeed not producing any value.

>You don't need cookie banners; they're only mandatory when you want to track your users

So they are mandatory, since all websites NEED advertising revenue and analytics to function.

No it's not... Program files and settings are stored in two completely different folders... Even uninstalling a program shouldn't remove your settings unless it asks you first.

Or they could, you know, not destroy your settings when you update by hand.

It's probably one of the most widely known jokes in Spain.

Ramón and Cajal, two great thinkers.

I've yet to see a legit unicode domain, and my country doesn't speak English as a first language.

To tell you the truth IDN domains feel like a failure, a gimmick. Their biggest market probably was meant to be countries that don't use the Latin alphabet, and they've failed spectacularly.

If you use Firefox, for your own security, set network.IDN_show_punycode to true.

Don't have an iphone handy but I think so. There are lots of options there to explore, there's also one to increase contrast and another to make buttons more evident. There's some cool stuff there in accessibility options

You can completely disable animations in accessibility settings.

The default browser on Windows sucks and when you get online and go to Google you get an ad to download Chrome. That sorta makes it the default.

Until I read cwkoss' comment right now I had always assumed someone came to the pizza joint and started firing rounds at people. I admit I'm not American so I never cared enough to look up what "opened fire" meant here, but I think it's evident what people will think of when they read that expression. Hint: not someone shooting a closet's lock once to open it.

I assume they will just block the domain.

That's what it sounds like sometimes. "Fires caused by climate change".

How could they enforce that? By barring EU residents from dealing with Travelex?

>I absolutely love this feature and the fact that I don't have to use a 3rd party extension is even better.

If we went by this argument then browsers would have every single feature ever. Which they kinda do...

I don't understand that thing with the scary clown jumping and screaming, or any other shocking content like that. What do they earn with those videos? Or are they just psychopaths?

It's not fake praise vs harassment, it's fake praise vs fake criticism.

In any case this will make for an excellent marketing campaign. I don't even know what the book is about (I assume something politically charged because of this campaign) but now I know the book!

>Market forces would work in this situation, if only the situation were different

That can be said every time the market fails to adjust itself.

"don't pirate our software" can hardly be called bullying, no?

Are userland spinlocks the reason most games use 100% of one or several cores even when they are minimised and doing nothing?

If you took a newspaper "of record" like the NYT and judged it for what they published the last 10 years, I wonder if you could consider it a newspaper "of record" anymore

:)

I must live in Star Trek because I can assure you I do all of that electronically and with no fees. If you give someone here a cheque chances are they won't even know what it is. I'd say literally nobody under 30 here has seen a cheque in their entire life. (Spain)

Seems like a joke, to think that people still use cheques somewhere... like what the fuck

Climate change is not a hoax. Man-made climate change, on the other hand…

That is actually fucking great. I don't know if that Necasek guy reads HN, but thanks!

Does it matter when there's prior art?

Okay, you've shot down my example, but that was not the point.
