0·1 day agoTechnology investment bubbles have existed since at least the industrial revolution kicked off. Tons of airlines went bankrupt in the early days of air travel, for example. I don’t know anything about it but I assume the same thing happened with trains and a gazillion other technologies that actually are pretty cool.
Marx pointed out that capitalism needs periodic cycles of capital destruction, and here we are…
2·2 days agoI think that you have to do quite a bit more setup on email than most other services. There’s SPF and DKIM and DMARC and so on. Plus spam filtering, setting up accounts and authentication, …
Plus email is arguably more important than anything else, since it’s kind of the lowest common denominator of the Internet; your dentist will probably send you an email to remind you of appointments, job offers will arrive via email, password resets arrive via email, and so on.
So it is a bit scary.
Having said that, as long as you’re not hosting from a residential IP addresses it is definitely achievable. You can start with one domain and use it for low-value purposes (or for accounts that allow multiple email addresses, like GitHub).

When I was in the US last it was a bit crap. I couldn’t remove an item, which was annoying because I accidentally scanned something twice, then picked the wrong thing in either fruit or baked goods (I can’t remember which). 🙈
Self-checkout works well in the Netherlands.
Imagine checkout is like rail. In the UK and Germany a disaster, but in Holland it mostly is pretty good. 😉
The thing is, where I live the system works well. It doesn’t make UX choices that make it hard to use, assuming that people are stealing all the time. It’s fast and easy, although so are the human manned checkouts, which also exist and are fine.
It depends on the technology. In Holland it’s great. In Belgium it sucks ass. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think a bit later. When Bush Jr. declared the “Axis of Evil” as Iraq, Iran, and North Korea (for some reason).
Iraq was flattened. Iran… well that’s ongoing. North Korea? Proceeds with impunity.
The difference is that North Korea got nukes, IMHO.
The article was literally about how everyone in the world is terrified of the US military and economy. It contrasts the muted reaction against Trump literally saying that he is considering genocide, versus the more robust reactions against Israel the next day.
Except the very legitimate concerns of the students are obscured by teenagers who just like to burn things and break shit.
Discipline in any movement is hard, and these are young people like 17 years old. 😔
Indeed. Every share owned is a very real conflict of interest.
This also provides a disincentive for the wealthy to run for office, which is good.
As opposed to the Iranians who were also attacked?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER.
In Holland we have government workers (not police thank fuck) who will handle noise complaints and issue warnings and then fines.
Sometimes? 😬

It’s just a joke until it isn’t.
