More vulnerable, probably yes. Phones are very locked down and secured (unless you root or install custom firmware).

But, they are still worse for privacy due to how they’re used. The phone (and thus Google and Apple and Facebook and others) has access to your location all the time - your computer doesn’t. The computer is only vulnerable when on - the phone is always on.

The threats are different and from different sources. Random hackers mining shitcoins on your computer, big companies knowing what you’re doing when you carry your phone.

This is about light rail though, which is usually built in cities (or, at least between a city and its suburbs). So I wonder how much of the cost (for both rail and road) is for land rights.

That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

No we’re not, you’re just in the blue zone. Us greens are quite happy.

Ok, thanks. I totally get the massive debts and his name being a liability (at least to the people who have enough money to buy what he’s selling).

NY real estate, which is struggling

Sorry, what did I miss? Isn’t NY real estate the place where a 200sqft apartment costs millions of dollars?

That’s still my favorite EU legislation. The price that is displayed must be equal (or higher, discounts are still allowed) to the price that you pay. Taxes, tips, fees, everything must be included in the price.

34, Slovenia, same story.

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

Yeah me too, I thought he was like Jim Crow, or Tom Cotton.

There’s nothing “inexpensive” about that though.

On the other hand, I recently started doing the other kind of magic with cards. That sounds really cheap, all you need is a $5 deck of Bicycle cards, some YouTube tutorials, and you’re all set. Turns out, that can be a money sink as well if you decide to go deep (or wide) enough. Still far less than MTG though.

Most people are rational actors

Have you met any people?

It is great because it allows you to eliminate bad candidates very quickly. It can’t be the only test, but it’s very useful as the first one.

I think they meant 3/7/21 instead of the standard 3/5/15.

Um … Tankies and Nazis often disagree with each other. Are they both doing something right?

A Windows version becomes considered “good” the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

No Niles?

I was a pretty big fan of Frasier so I’ll probably try to see at least one episode (when I can get it in Europe), but I don’t have hopes up. It seems nobody else does either.

On the other hand, Rodney Trotter? This just seems weird.

The wealth will finally trickle down!

There’s a great test for programmers called FizzBuzz. It’s an extremely easy task - print some numbers (maybe 1 to 100), but replace them with Fizz if they’re divisible by 3, by Buzz if they’re divisible by 5, or by FizzBuzz if they’re both.

Many reasonable people consider it way too easy - if you can write this, it doesn’t mean that you can write complex programs, or that you know the applicable languages, or that you know anything about the business domain.

But interviewers know that it’s a great test because a lot of so-called programmers still fail it.

They didn’t say “be” Scandinavia, but “do”.
