> Were they effective?

They absolutely are effective at reducing the risk of death or serious illness.

> Offshore is very expensive because of moving ice.

Huh? Ice? There isn’t any sea ice to contend with in the UK.

I strongly doubt that, due to the utterly immense scale of offshore turbines and better wind resource.

Unions aren’t really something which is polarizing in the Netherlands.

If you lived in a city where something like Gorrillas or Getir have a presence, then it’d be impossible not to know of them. They advertise like crazy and you see their delivery drivers and dark stores all over.

>A lot of companies in the Netherlands will be open to that.

It's part of employment law. So long as you fulfill the criteria & there isn't a very compelling reason for your employer to say no, you're allowed to reduce hours.

You're wrong for the case of the Netherlands and Belgium.

I'm a bit puzzled by the methodology. I didn't notice any mention in the paper if the exposed EMF was meant to be similar to a surface-laid cable, or one that is buried.

In any case, it is certainly the case that subsea power cables for offshore wind farms are buried (up to meters deep) or otherwise overlaid by rock or other materials to protect them from damage, scour, anchor strikes, etc.

> passports are essentially a national ID system

Not very helpful as a national ID if they are a relative rarity

One can be happy for the creator’s individual (and deserved) success, while at the same time begrudge the fundamental change brought about by its acquisition.

Simply saying “everyone shits on this guy” is not really helpful, or accurate.

Or living in countries north of northern US states. They should come visit a higher latitude in winter

It is a strong incentive for the US to sell and ship LNG to the EU.

> There are too many dollars in the economy. Because people have money, they want to buy cars

At least wrt cars, isn’t the knock-on pandemic effect by far driving the shortages? (Chips, disruptions in just-in-time, etc) rather than people have more money to spend on them?

At least in Europe (some?) Hulu content is on the Star section of Disney+, including Futurama.

It’s interesting how this differs so much! I think I’ve never been on a work-related Zoom call, and only extremely rarely something like webex. Almost always Teams.

Perhaps I'm misremembering, but wasn't there actually quite significant backlash towards their security flaws in the early days, causing them to rectify the problems?

> It would have cost them that much in developer time to build it

I’m not really into the backstory but isn’t this game a quick project of one software engineer in his free time?

Does any airline on the planet accept a quick test done at home without so,e sort of validation? Highly doubtful.

They’re covered by insurance…try being a visitor to the US then an antigen test will cost you $150+.

Please don’t post like this on HN…you’re just assuming bad faith and you’re spamming this comment or a variation repeatedly.

That's an absurd hypothetical. A human being isn't an object...do you also mirror their consciousness?

>Top forgeries are so similar that it often takes a team of experts independently examining a piece until the fake is detected.

And even if it might be difficult to tell apart, it isn't literally the same thing.

>Are you seriously trying to claim that the reason the original Mona Lisa has value (vis-a-vis a high quality forgery) is because of the minute tangible composition of the paint?

I'm not sure how you concluded that is what I said. I never made any statement as to why it is valued the way that it is.

The creator of the lossless one can also just decide to distribute that lossless version after selling an NFT of it.

Doesn't that defeat the point of only the NFT owner having control of it?

>If the Louvre offered the opportunity for someone to be called the owner of the Mona Lisa but they could never take it out of the Louvre or any way control it what would that sell for? I suspect many, many millions of dollars.

I thought that was a fairly normal thing? That is, someone buys or owns a work of art but it's left in a museum in perpetuity.

>You could have a tangible copy of the Mona Lisa that is physically indistinguishable from the real one.

It certainly would not be. It might look very very similar, but in no way indistinguishable to the degree that one digital file is literally the same as a copy of itself.

> Yes, you can screenshot the Mona Lisa or print out a signed Mickey Mantle rookie card, but it's not the same thing is it?

Obviously not, because those are tangible things. That’s not a valid comparison.

> one of those things that are part truth, part myth

Yeah perhaps true. But then I’d say that it’s essentially a meaningless conclusion to hold as some universal truth.

> as a European, i have always associated American made with low quality, cheaply made, bad taste and expensive. American products are to be avoided at all times.

What informs that viewpoint? It’s really foreign to any perception I’ve ever heard from anyone or experienced myself.

No, it really isn’t. Everyone has taxes and paperwork, some easier than others. Not everyone has the same restrictions on normal financial activities.

None of this impacts a foreign employer’s employment of an American.
