Your diverse group isn't very diverse.
I thinks the main problem isn't the platform itself, but the form itself. Twitter is toxic, Parler as well, but perhaps to other people. What's the point?
Re:Ask HN: How do you manage your plain text notes on Saturday November 14, 2020 @04:14PM (#25095681)
That's nice, but it would be awesome to be able to synchronize plain text files using rclone/syncthing - without using dedicated server.
Re:Ask HN: What is the most Pythonic spoken language? on Saturday November 14, 2020 @03:54PM (#25095534)
German, grammar is extremely regular, sometimes it sounds strange "baletttanzerin". Polish would be Perl5 - TIMTOWTDI grammar is extremely flexible, that even the experts have trouble understanding perfectly correct sentences. English would be js, seems regular but it is not. But that's just my (eastern) eurocentric perspective.

No, as long as humans are involved.
Last time I checked there wasn't a google photos api for expiring photos and metadata.
Re:Google Widevine Content Decryption Module DMCA on Friday November 13, 2020 @05:21AM (#25080883)
Recent events have shown that even simple google cypher may be effective. Even more effective is modifying your product to fit customers by NOT region locking your content, by not splitting it over multiple platforms. Using law to pretend that the global network does not exist is simply dumb and leads to piracy. DRM won't save backwards digital rights owners.

Czech Hussites did just that. Using primitive firearms and a clever strategy.
Modern day slavery.
You are a real problem solver.

German transfers from wind farms at the north to factories in the south and Austria often caused problems in Polish and Czech networks. https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-austria-energy-europ...

A package is made of ham?

On YouTube there is a show called Japanology that discussed such things. Very interesting, even the episode about moss.

Common market, hell yeah! And when they are "exporting" goods outside of Poland they get their VAT back(0% VAT). Really cute.

What is scary is that american gender stereotypes are becoming popular. In my school times I never heard "girls have problem with math", on the contrary, the majority of math and science teachers were women. Eastern Europe is unique because we never really had our own petty bourgeois being effectively colonized, so farmers became workers and workers became bankers. Someone really should write a monograph about Eastern European Cooperative Banking, it's quite amazing.

That would provide masks effectiveness quite well. I hope we(or our governments) all may learn on others experiences.

Where?

Poland took some early actions but there are no covid free areas. Infections rates have plateaued but remain on a more or less constant levels. And people are getting upset. It will be really hard to keep them homes during the second wave... Same seems to be true for Czech Ostrava region.
