Into and Beyond the Spiderverse are flawless movies.

Consoles mostly died with the PlayStation 3. Consoles (At least Sony and Microsoft's offering) have become repackaged PCs for a while now this will be especially apparent with the Steamboxes going up on the same shelves as Playstations in the future.

I will concede it's hard to reason or discuss about these things without getting lost in a Ship of Theseus definition of what 'console' and 'PC' is and where the lines are. The PlayStation 3 had the cell processor and was fundamentally different to PCs imo.

Nintendo has always seemed to manage stay as a console and seems to come out of the console wars stronger than either Sony or Microsoft, so they seem to be the exception here.

Even Horizon is a Warhammer 40k film that has nothing to do with Warhammer 40k.

I would imagine this is the exact problem they are trying to stop:

Civil servant accused of leaking Govt information to foreign intelligence service in Ireland

That E1M1 song is iconic. That will be played 00s of years from now, it will stand the test of time.

The solution is obvious:

Remove commuting by encouraging remote work, incentivise dumb phone use or penalise smart phone use, create affordable property prices and secure future pensions, incentivise no televisions and create an environment where men and women can co-mingle naturally. You're right tens of thousands isn't going to cut it.

Basically apartment complexes with plenty of facilities like cafes, libraries, parks, restaurants and sports facilities and micro mobility solutions for transport surrounded by nature. Effectively reversing some of the trends we've established over the past few decades.

The reason this isn't done is because it wouldn't grow the economy, it would shrink the economy. You're effectively telling people to work less, have more leisure time and spend less.

Apparently that greeting is to discourage shoplifting not to put you at ease.

Retail theft is becoming a huge problem, police generally won't respond to it so many of those who do it know they can act with impunity and retailers are left with few options to deter theft.

It's sort like how everything being priced at 6.99 is actually to prevent employee theft (customer expects change from their $5 + $2). It's not a psychological trick to make things seem cheaper which is to actually just display 7, a single digit number.

$3.6 billion (€3.1 billion), making it one of the biggest ever deals for an Irish-founded tech firm.

EU CloudFlare

What limitations does bunny.net have?

Install Windows IoT. It's for internet of things devices and has more strict updating procedures than conventional Windows.

Functionally it's the same and have heard good things. In any case I will be switching to Linux for my gaming Desktop soon. I will still have Windows for the odd multiplayer game that isn't well supported by Proton.

This is exactly the same as the ""If you didn't take the time to write something, I'm not going to the take the time to read it" mantra that was floating about HN a few months ago.

Every time we do so, we are able to build bigger, better things more quickly.

Jervons Paradox

There is a lot of truth to this but things are changing e.g. those houses without planning permission getting torn down. That simply would not have happened two decades ago.

Joe Biden says ‘oligarchy’ emerging in US in final White House address

https://www.ft.com/content/262f2980-a380-45b0-bcaf-1d7d68918...

Average American is suffering and it's them who's coping with the idea that a small percentage of Americans are at least getting extremely wealthy.

US is threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, this sort of rhetoric is beyond unhinged. The US under Trump has literally been downgraded as a 'liberal democracy' and is now an 'electoral democracy' the same category as Hungary under Orban. https://www.v-dem.net/documents/75/V-Dem_Institute_Democracy...

The EU has no giants, what you listed are large companies:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_public_corporations_by...

The US has these issues as well as still has a strong tech sector, you also have to keep in mind a successful outcome for the EU won't be what the US has right now either. You get charts like this floating around the internet: https://postimg.cc/Yh8TPs8g

Nearly always presented as a 'dick swinging' look how great we are chart in a EU vs US vs China stand off. However it reveals flaws in the US as well. A successful tech sector in the EU will be lots of small bubbles where the combined area is somewhat approximates what is in the US and China.

A handful of giants is not desired here in the EU, you can see the issues this presents in the US as well, chiefly: it's distorting the political system to becoming like Russia. Oligarchy.

That's not even getting in to the chart is deeply flawed but that's not the point I'm making.

Trump's actions are pushing Europeans towards federalisation as a broader trend.

More specifically things like this are happening quietly in the background:

https://commission.europa.eu/news-and-media/news/eu-inc-maki...

This mandates a few things:

Countries must do certain things in English to ensure a common language.

Simple liquidation for bankruptcies, register once and operate across the EU.

Places like Germany have loads of talent but are cumbersome to setup a startup etc. This reduces that.

Things won't change overnight but a decade from now things will look a bit different, capital markets won't match the US by then but I expect the dependence trend will start to have reversed. There is no crystal ball for these things.

Does Uruky pay Yandex like Kagi does?

It's relevant to those of us boycotting Russian products and influence due to the Ukraine war.

First off, this is shit position for you to be in.

I perused your comment history as I often do with HNers.

Some guy was predicting this exact situation in 2009 and your comment was that this would all sort itself out due to market forces. The market forces have spoken and the market lacks empathy.

Hope you get your account back and then when you do you hop on to the the other side of the fence. We can all stand to learn from your experience here and 2009 was a long time ago.

If you are in the EU or an EU citizen you will have options (you can email them from the email associated with your account asking for all your data). If you are in the US (assumption) you will be stuck with their ToS and hope some guy in Meta with leverage reads this who simply wants to help.

For reference I proudly do not use any Meta products exactly for these reasons. This is an absurd and dystopian position to find yourself in.

Usually when I've submitted something myself.

The user isn't arguing in good faith here is one of his other comments

Wikipedia could shut down permanently tomorrow and the world will be a better place.

Wikipedia is a vital resource for the internet and one of humanities supreme achievements. He can certainly have whatever opinion he likes but when has opinions like this he can't be trusted.

As an aside the Daft Punk soundtrack that accompanies this film is an absolute masterpiece. I think it's their best work.

It's such a shame the film doesn't live up to it's own soundtrack.

The US and China have standards as well and bodies to regulate them. Regulation vs Free Market debate isn't a binary issue and is a spectrum.

The fine is the application of the law. Would be like getting arrested and demanding to know why the authorities aren't getting involved.

Account age is a legit parameter when evaluating the worthiness comments especially how easy it is for bots to make comments now.

To clarify I'm not commenting on what you've done but how you've phrased it. I really don't mind about pirating movies I don't even see it as wrong.

Appreciate the context, however if I was to follow up on my own comment. You were sentenced to prison, I went to the grocery store yesterday. It's the casualness of the phrasing that is jarring.

I went to prison for 18 months, my digital and physical life was stolen from me

This is wild phrasing.

Google as a search engine peaked in 2005. Since then they've become far more profitable, increased revenue by orders of magnitude, brought search to many more areas, increased headcount massively, improved their share price massively, diversified, serve far more paying customers, become more efficient per query, built data centres, devices and chips with more vertical integration etc. But as a consumer product for simple internet search where I type words and get a list of relevant results it has only gotten slightly worse since then.

This is pure observation/anecdotal. I have no measurements to back this up but I think others will share this view.

So "Microsoft chooses to eat its own dogfood" is a more accurate title?
