uhh well no i'd say the "American version" is much closer to actually free speech. it implies things like freedom to hate and freedom to lie that y'all don't have.

and yes it can, because the internet reaches pretty much everywhere. as long as there is no server or physical office what can brussels do but scream into the wind about it?

aren't we doing the same thing with iran, belarus, china, other places where we support "American's version" of free speech despite local laws?

idk, i think it would be really cool if more companies started closing any remaining eu servers and just telling these regulators to go pound sand. DSA is anti-free-speech so no American company should in good conscience comply.

always funny how the same people who support working towards open communications in e.g. iran and china by ignoring their laws get mad when somebody suggests this.

uhh tbh no. i have had problems with that stupid little center piece in a usb c port weakening because it's still a stupid design.

yeah the nasty thing is the private company loophole works. like the TSA puts in these stupid ass measures everybody hates then is like "oh well you can get clear if you don't like it!"

it's supposed to be illegal for the feds to use private companies to do what they can't but for some reason this hasn't gotten killed in court. literally the agency shouldn't exist nor should airport security like it does now.

i mean there's not actually that much $ in a commodified streaming service. royalties eat most of it and artists still aren't paid that much. so branching out is spotify's only hope of finding a high-margin area of business.

no you're not. sturdier, clicks in better and doesn't wear down the same way. and im not even a apple fan/user.

i know we zoomers have come of age now that older generations star making fun of our slang :)

i mean that by itself is not conclusive. in Texas it's almost all private hunting land but it's plenty egalitarian.

yeah facts and this is to say nothing of how overpopulation has spread chronic wasting disease (nasty ass prion) around a lot.

and if you think deer are bad try feral hogs... nasty, can kill you, aggressive, tear up anything and everything.

i guess? i find most people knock like normal though. i have a good few guns though so i'm fully capable of defending myself. i never figured a residential grade lock was much good against someone anyway and if i'm right there it's not like someone can sneak in. i might be more worried if i was a small guy or a woman but i've never had a problem.

for what its worth im in America (where crime is way way higher) and i don't consider that normal. probably a cultural thing.

because its not always accidental. look at abortion laws before there was reason to challenge them, or many blue state gun laws. they're giant "fuck you"s to getting told to stop doing smth stupid. like NY gets its gun law overturned so its like "fuck you we're gonna make super invasive requirements for testing (which you cant even do in state) and turning over social media handles (hella chilling effect)." or almost all the lockdown orders that got overturned, but after 1-2 years of being in effect.

really grinds my gears cuz they KNOW these laws will get killed in court but it will take 3-4 years so in the mean time stfu and deal with it.

not trying to be rude but... this is a really really bad looking employment history. if i see people quit soon after joining once or twice i get that, if i see someone fired once or twice understandable, but anything where someone spends 4 years being employed for less than a month, lots of gaps, many of those just 1-2 months that looks bad. you might want to consider taking it down. (again i don't know what happened but just trying to be helpful)

aren't people who are strong negotiators generally more valuable anyway?

forget debugging, just configuring PAM is a freaking nightmare. oh and make a mistake? can't log in to fix it lmao. i got really good about keeping a root shell open after i made that mistake a few times.

same thing nintendo did on old consoles: the "DRM" was requiring the cartridge to display a nintendo logo at start-up. so if you included that, you could get sued.

my guess is because it's "X-Elastic-Product" you'd be falsely "saying" your product is made by Elastic, the company so they could sue over it.

wow, that article mentions controversy over the smell of leaf mulch... kinda reflective of how sterile those cities must be for someone who has never visited, so much less surprising they have fewer bugs. Heaven help them if someone ever puts in manure or fish compost :)

taking an oral exam is different from being able to discuss something. you know as well as i do there's a difference between a regurgitation paper and one that requires you apply knowledge to analyze something else.

the kind of questions i'm talking about are application. like for a programming course you might ask what features of a particular language one might explore for solving some vague problem and why. for history pick some current event and ask about its parallels to and lessons for something happening today.

harmonic analysis is probably one of the worse use cases for this. and yeah i agree with open notes exams.

can you elaborate on the bad data from IBKR? a few people mentioned looking at them for data sources but didn't bring up any quality issues.

never used their data myself so can't say but i'm curious.

no i'm saying there should be a basic level of fluency in the material beyond regurgitation. saying every course should have people able to write a paper on some assigned part of it, or to prepare a presentation, or to take an oral exam with a previous idea of what the material will be is reasonable and essential.

i think you're making this out to be way harder than it actually is, before almost any exam i can discuss pretty well the material behind it. half the time i end up explaining something to a friend who is wondering about something. it's really not that hard.

the only thing that would make it hard is if somebody was bad at speaking and communicating effectively. but just like being unable to write well will hurt your grade in a non-writing course, being unable to speak well should significantly reduce your grade or make you unable to pass.

yeah to at least some restaurants. but it's ok to say that not every restaurant has to be accessible. we should minimize the extent to which someone's disability is everyone else's problem. same reason a lot of these new tech laws affect companies with over 2 million users or whatever, small companies don't have the resources to deal with it. so should a big chain restaurant have ramps? yeah. should a small mom and pop shop have to close cause it cant afford it? nahh screw that.

no. every course should incorporate significant written and oral components because if you cannot adequately synthesize and communicate the information you're meant to be learning, that course is functionally useless. one of the important things i have learned is nobody cares what you know unless you can communicate it well.

you are looking at 2 different things we both call education but should have separated a long time ago. the cost of learning is almost unbeleivably lower than just 20, 10 years ago. the cost of credentialing might go up.

why do you need a tool? if its crap writing give it a crap grade and move on.

good. youre right i got through a lot of presentations easier than other classmates but thats cause learning to present really well is an essential skill. students should be skilled at using rhetoric so i see that as a feature not a bug.

everything else in life will reward being well spoken and outgoing, why shouldnt school as well?

well Apple's an American company and we have one of the few relatively strong currencies in the world. so anything we export is going to get very expensive for y'all very quick. don't be so fast to blame Apple.

Apple's cost of business in europe is also going up from fines and requirements to e.g. migrate charging. so it's not surprising that is passed through to european customers.

also there are plenty of good substitutes and Apple has always been more of a premium brand so i don't think the "financial vulnerability" argument holds water here.

i know its hard to believe but https://gothamist.com/news/nyc-orders-4-million-mckinsey-stu...

similarly, NYC decided to pay McKinsey $4mm to answer the question of whether large, stinky festering piles of trashbags would be better in containers.

then you realize you'd just be wasting paper printing

* blackrock

* vanguard

* fidelity

* state street

* t. rowe price

* most major banks

* some random asset managers

on like 90% of products? why tf bother? that doesn't actually mean anything to most people and nobody really cares.

we have a few krogers near where i live but i didn't even realize albertsons was a big chain until recently since i'd never actually seen one irl. but yeah everybody around here knows kroger is shit and literally any of the other many stores is better. overpriced, bad selection, the worst quality produce and meat, employees aren't very helpful. thankfully there's a ton of other selection.
