  • This is next level. I wonder if this is really possible. Like, do they have control on these things? I am thinking of a mass resistance where people make barcodes and go to these places to stick their own fair prices and pay. But may be we are not there yet.

    Why is Facebook still so insanely popular?
  • Now, consider how powerful Reddit is/used to be, especially in quality human generated resources (jokes, answers, commentary etc) and realize networks exert power in different ways from just numbers. Numbers matter, but in very different ways.

    you have to subscribe to the dictionary now
  • Here is an alternative that aggregates from multiple sources: https://www.thefreedictionary.com/

    While I do not oppose paying for definitions, there is someone confusing about collectively generated meaning being aggregated and packaged by one company for profit. A publicly maintained dictionary is a much much better alternative. I guarantee it would be more versatile and rigorous than this Oxford stuff.

    Tunnels once connected Egypt and Gaza. Here's what they looked like 10 years ago
  • I wonder how tough or easy it was for Egypt to destroy the tunnels. Or how fast they started breathing again. How do the people create anti-flooding systems in there? Complex but very interesting topic.

    Immigrants explain why they're leaving Canada
  • I wonder who is expected to fix the country if everyone hops from whatever place they are for the next one as long as their personal income gets a little more money. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for personal progress and it’s pursuit. But I also realize personal progress is anchored on collective stability. There is something off with someone who hops and ditches a place based on assumed better outcomes round the bend.

    Young, female voters were the key to defeating populists in Poland's election – providing a blueprint to reverse democracy's decline
  • Interesting.

    OP, do you have the numbers on how men’s vote changed relative to 2019? From the article, 75% of women voted v 73% of men voted. This reflected a 12% increase for women but didn’t go into percentages for men.

    Anon on credit scores
  • If you don’t take credit facilities but pay for your expenses in cash, you are considered a risk. Credit scoring based on credit card purchases is akin to being required to be spied on every step of the way just so you can access what you practically can without the credit in the first place. I don’t have a problem with people who are fine with that kind of behavior. But there should be a way of fair assessment even if you pay in cash.

    As an owner of children, I approve this message
  • Not a seasoned parent but have been through this process. Try to get enough sleep yourself so you can give the necessary attention while traveling.

    2 hours in the plane also means like another 3 hours in the car + airport queues. Don’t forget that bit.

    Sleep deprivation is a great reason why parents are angry with kids and can’t focus even for a minute due to irritability.

    As an owner of children, I approve this message
  • When you realize most of those judgemental passengers were those kids like 20 years ago (2003’sh). 😀

    As long as there is effort from the parent’s side to help the baby adjust, then people should be more human and acknowledge this is how humans grow up!

    All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU
  • Don’t forget how new Bluetooth headphones require that you download an app to set up the headphone. So a whole new data harvesting broker forces itself right where an audiojack used to be.

    Check on the AppStore’s the kind of personal data one has to handover to tune the headphones. Total fuckery!
