On top of that Krakow is in a valley, so the air just hangs around.

Or they called your mum because she's your mum and top of the list to call? No creepy additional surveillance required there.

Re:How ChatGPT spoiled my semester (2024) on Thursday August 07, 2025 @03:41AM (#44821674)
Might be worthwile to have an actual conversation with your peers instead of just deleting and running over it. Maybe they thought your level of work was lower than that produced by GPT? Maybe they thought it useful to have filler draft instead of starting from a blank sheet? Maybe they have a sick parent at home and needed to fill it in just to move on? Complaining externally and not communicating is just a very tiny step up from what your classmates are doing.

Also having your entire semester spoiled by some incidents induced by random passersby? Come on, university is for growing up, start.

This stuff is panel-tested out of the wazoo. There's a reason bitterness, hoppiness, alcohol levels, differ market by market, even on brands of the same brand/line extension.

Beer also does not require refrigeration throughout the entire supply chain, they happily sit in a warm warehouse waiting to be picked up by an unrefrigerated truck, only to be cooled at the outlet or consumer.

Re:EU fines Apple €500M and Meta €200M on Wednesday April 23, 2025 @08:37AM (#43771380)
> Fines imposed on undertakings found in breach of EU antitrust rules are paid into the general EU budget. This money is not earmarked for particular expenses, but Member States' contributions to the EU budget for the following year are reduced accordingly. The fines therefore help to finance the EU and reduce the burden for taxpayers.

The sides were cut to fit a place in the old city hall (now palace) on Dam square in 1715.
It is for the passengers.
Which things? Based on what data? You're asking for data to substantiate your statement -- maybe first have the data?
Re:The largest climatized reading space on Tuesday March 05, 2024 @03:59AM (#39600975)
I gather it's a way of saying it's climate controlled, i.e. heated or cooled depending on the season. I suppose as a contrast to calling any semi-random outside space the largest reading space.

Their commercial offering is advertisement, which seems to be liked.

Some great suggestions, but even the cheapest alternative is 100% more expensive than a Blue Yeti. The recommended one is 400% more expensive. Meh.
Main value is the chat still.

It's not just money, it is also how you spend a limited quantity of organisational focus. You cannot do it all, this is actually even more important when you are that big of a company.
Looking at the family picture at the bottom of the page it puts the iPad Pro 11" not in a weird spot at all, just completely out of it.

The modern ones don't anymore, we have a couple of Microsoft Surfaces at the office and they're quite snappy.

The major differentiator of Apple hardware is the software that runs on it. iOS and MacOS are basically unmatched by other offerings.
From Schiphol on Schengen flights frequently (~50% of the time) no one checks anything in my experience outside of scanning the QR to get into security, and into the plance.
Re:Reeder 2 for iOS on Thursday September 12, 2013 @10:13AM (#6374093)
I'm still pretty happy with the first version on my iPhone combined with Feedbin. Are there compelling reasons to upgrade aside from the fact that it's an iPad version as well?
