- fdgjgbdfhgb parentWorks for me without an extension, you just need to click play again after leaving the YouTube tab/locking the phone
- This truly sucks, since in this day and age we need unmodified phones for banking apps (and I think for oncall my company requires Android/iOS as well). I guess this will be the final push for me to change to iOS, since I already have a bunch of Apple stuff otherwise, and I was holding out on the phone side for this exact feature.
- The only time I've seen this feature be used is when my grandma accidentally turns it on in the family groupchat - I just don't wanna hang out with my friends in WhatsApp
- While Mexico is certainly very linguistically diverse, it doesn't even come close to Papua New Guinea's over 800 languages [1]

- There is a difference between business owners (who don't want to spend money unless they have to) ans managers (who want career growth and are not necessarily worried about the company 's bottom line wrt headcount)
- You use your bank's phone app. You can scan a QR code or you can send money to someone if you know their "id string", like a phone number, an email or a random string of numbers - you choose the "id string" format you want, and you can have different "ids" linked to different bank accounts. There are no physical cards.
- I've seen them at trade shows and heard good things. I had also heard that Google tried buying them last year but it didn't go through, I'm curious about how/why they did it now
- Did you ever read Roma Aeterna? Or did you go straight into literature?
- Oh, Radio Free Skaro uses this version on their podcasts!
- The "Mother Theresa withheld painkillers" thing is a myth [1]

- The VPN part was almost immediately overturned, but it is concerning that it was included in the first place
- It really depends on where in the city you live - I live in the north of Paris and so far this has not affected me in any way. In fact, I already went to a couple of Olympic matches (a bunch of sports have started already), and I'm enjoying it immensely.
The city center had restricted access for about a week and is completely inaccessible for 2-3 days, which sucks for the people that live and work there, but it's a far cry from the `several weeks` you mentioned. I think folks are blowing the impact of the opening ceremony way out of proportion.
- Mercedes offers it in Germany
- Sorry, you think it's better to drown your own child than to google it? You can just search "how to spot a drowning person" and you'll find loads of articles and videos
- It's one of those things - they are totally in their right to do it, but I still think it sucks.
At the end of the day, both parties benefit: Youtube won't have to serve me videos for free and I'll gain back a bunch of free time.
- I was there too! It was such a nice vibe :^D
- I didn't interpret the parent comment as saying that religion can be used to/is effective at combating excess, but that the only existing efforts to combat this kind of excess come from religious groups (i.e. there aren't any secular groups lobbying against gambling). I don't know if that is true and I don't necessarily agree with the comment btw.
- All street lamps in Paris turned off at midnight :)

- > however, a big part of the compensation is through labor protection - something that is not worth a lot to a software developer
Maybe that was true in previous years, but I have found it very comforting to know that I'm almost unfirable (specially compared to my US peers), and even if I do get laid off I still have a ~12 month runway provided by the government.
- This is very cool, congrats OP!
I wish it would let me select some other cities the bus passes through, since as another commenter said it just uses the quickest way by car - though I guess that would not impact the seat selection too much, since the general direction of travel is still the same!
- Prokofiev, nice! I recently realised that his music was still under copyright, same for Shostakovich... Death + 70 years is a really long time
- It's a one page document that deals with a very specific situation - if a human were to write it, I'm sure they would come up with pretty much the same thing. I actually have no problems with this particular case
- Of course it's Porto Alegre lol. I was curious to see the text of the law [1], and it obviously looks fine - it's short and shows good command of "legalease". I'd love to see the prompt...

- Anecdotally, I mostly stopped using it, except for sport news and live threads.
The subreddit I moderate (100k subs) saw no lasting impact on traffic. We participated in the blackout for 2 or 3 days and then carried on as normal.
To be fair, it is a sub for a TV show, so the traffic is very seasonal. The blackout happened in the off-season, and now that the show is back we have a lot of traffic again.
- If it's not a life or death situation (like a self-driving truck slamming into a van full of children or whatever), I don't think people will care much. Non-tech people (i.e. managers, PMs) don't necessarily understand/care if the code is not perfect and the barrier for "good enough" is much lower. I think we will see a faster adoption of this tech...
- Sadly this article is misleading - John Franklin has issued a statement saying that he was misquoted [1] and there is actually an amnesty when handing over missing episodes.

- Aaj, I love this series! I just started the last book :^) it's quite a journey
If anyone wants to pick it up, my main advice is to keep a cheat sheet of naval terms with you
- Started following Rugby during the world cup - got a bit obsessed, went to a couple of matches, joined a club, started following the national championship (Top 14)...
It's been great so far! It has a lot of complexity and physicality, which I enjoy.
