Thank you for this! I agree, but I still don't see the difference between a ledger and a relational DB when both write "Bob withdrew $20". Maybe I'm a bit thick.

You're right that I assumed there would only be one database or one ledger.

The system is a $25k custom build with 8 video cards (4x RTX PRO 4000, 2x RTX 4090, 2x RTX 3090). That price was only valid for early 2026.

I'm surprised there's HN folk without ad blockers, what gives?

I don't see the difference between a ledger (possibly with a unique sequence enforcement) which would take the balance to a negative number, and a mutable row in a relational database with optimistic locking (same unique sequence enforcing). Would you mind helping me out, how would a ledger work better to prevent a negative balance, given that the enforcement isn't specific to ledgers and can be used in relational DBs? After all, both can go to negative balance by applying atomic subtractions, and both can prevent writes with the wrong sequence.

Dacia Spring is also made in China.

Fanboys, including management, push macs down our throats and there's little you can do when apple fanboys are also decision makers, since they don't listen to reason.

It's so annoying that more than half of the videos on there show up as "private" to users from my country.

Name and shame them.

Actually GDPR is exactly what they're asking to. Possession of personal data that is not required for a service's functionality is illegal under GDPR.

I'm surprised they can get past the CF captcha, I still can't. Ever since the beginning: https://imgur.com/a/AzNSreV

I'd like you to familiarise yourself with a legal and societal principle we use in civil law countries:

> de minimis non curat praetor

Which basically means judges are not interested in minor disputes. When you add the USA to the mix, China's actions pale in comparison to the point of being negligible, no point in discussing them given the scale of USA's warmongering, overseas and local crimes. "They never interfered in [...]" is an exaggeration which shows the lack of importance of China's crimes when compared to the USA's, that's all.

The "whataboutism" here isn't a deflection strategy, it shows the hypocrisy and correctly minimises the scale of China's actions in comparison to the hypocrites'.

Clear legal guidelines for which country? Or, better yet, for which subdivision within said country?

That's still the default in my localhost, but I get a warning that it'll change.

They don't do that, but they do force endless loops of checkbox ticking onto users from unwanted countries https://imgur.com/a/AzNSreV

Nice way to paywall a comment on HN.

Shouldn't you spell it Tuerkiyesh government, then?

I stopped using facebook around 2015-ish, when they stopped allowing sorting by date. Prior to this, hi5 and the likes also allwoed sorting by date. So no, not every online platform ever.

Everything other than sorting the list of entities by a standard measurement unit (time, length, mass, temperature, amount) needs to be covered by this law.

The moment you add other entities to the list (e.g. ads inbetween posts), then it's also subject to the same restrictions.

Crimping implies RJ45, so 1Gbps. You can't crimp SFP+.

I can install 1Gbps using copper cables + RJ45 and household tools. I can't install 10Gbps using a $10 crimper.

Therefore, I have 1Gbps all through my house and 10Gbps between equipment next to the access point.

I have a really simple algorithm to reporting something as spam:

> Was this email solicited by me?

The author describes unsolicited emails and somehow misses the point that spam is a term for unsolicited emails.

The reminder email in your list sounds unsolicited, so I'd probably report that one as spam as well. I wasn't aware it was mandatory, probably because it's not where I live.

My transactional inboxes are mostly clean as a result. My "spam" inbox, however, is full of crap (the email I use to sign up to freemium services).

Americans sure love their war crimes! Indiscriminately killing civilians is how they've gotten past, present and future terrorist attacks. I can't imagine the parents of the children they keep on killing (or maiming, or otherwise) standing by and watching. People wouldn't necessarily need to wait for their country's army to do something when they've got nothing significant left to lose.

I find the sum of all 3d printing tools and consumables required to build something useful (i.e. drawer inserts) a lot cheaper than the sum of all wood tools and consumables.

Sounds a lot like nagging [0] with some trick wording [1] in the nag.

I think the website is missing a dark pattern here, spray-and-pray, which is throwing as many reincarnations of the same thing as possible, hoping one eventually sticks.

The commenter you replied to seems to be oblivious to the fact that this act, described in the article, is merely a consequence of the war they started.

Most people would get a "Making sure you're not a bot" anime girl with that link.

Quid pro quo? Whoever requests that of others must do the same.
