Re:Ask HN: Ultrawide monitors, what's your experience been like?

I had the option at work to do either two monitors or one ultrawide. I took the ultrawide, and have never regretted it. You have to use window organization software to use it effectively. I use Spectacle for Mac, it does the job.

The point was to show the difference in rate of increase. Sure, he could have used two scales. I think the graph still gets the point across.

To your point, I noticed that chocolate milk cartons have decreased from 1L to 750ML, yet they kept the same price. Further, the 750ML option was not offered before, and the 1L option is not offered now, which adds to the deception.

Right, and Facebook is arguing that it’s because they have to fulfill a contract. However, GDPR may block them from collecting the data they need to serve personalized ads. This would mean they wouldn’t be able to fulfill the contract.
To phrase my question in another way, would that contract still need to be fulfilled, if they are blocked by GDPR from collecting the data they would need to fulfill it?

If they lose this case, do you think it would it leave Facebook a liability for no longer being able to fulfill that contract? I.e. you can’t share my data, now where are my personalized ads that you promised?

Maybe that’s ok.

Interestingly, backcuntry.com redirects to their website. If they don’t have a trademark on that, they at least exemplify the sentiment.

I don't think I will look at welds on an airplane the same after reading this. Very interesting, thanks for posting!

I don’t have extensive knowledge of how crypto works, but for 1), most, if not all large-scale applications like FB operate with distributed systems somewhere in the chain (ex. image and video processing), which is the core of how ledgers work, and how mining works.
Their website tech is impressive, I’ll give them that. I still wouldn’t trust them with my money.

This gives me a lot of confidence in their crypto currency.

No guns. Just lies and selling people out.
