When the EU inevitably collapses because of this undemocratic behaviour, let’s see what’s sensible.

How is a majority vote (of both states and represented population) and a parliamentary vote undemocratic?

Looks pretty! But how is this any different from claude.ai/code (web)?

I would like to see something similar for my browser tabs which are always a mess. Unsure what UX considerations are needed. Thoughts?
philippgerard · 2 years ago
Arc Browser does that already, also for downloaded files. Looks neat.

I guess it's good to join forces on this. However, I really hope the Texts app on Mac will survive this merge as it is lightyears ahead of the UI insult that Beeper is. I migrated away from Beeper to get rid of the ugly interface and in order to not depend on bridges on some server somewhere (yes, I can host them myself, but who wants to?) anymore.

Most published research is wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q

I usually check the UK NHS website for general information that has been reproduced consistently, and talk to a doctor for anything more specific.

This about how poorly technology and law news is reported. Health news is _even worse_.

I quite like examine.com for a seemingly independent “audit” of health- and supplement-related data. It’s not perfect but the database of knowledge is growing and their business model seems more aligned with my interests than with those groups often funding biased research.

Yes, this is probably what's going to happen. After all they'll want to stay in business: as they'll sell less and less gas they'll have to sell more and more electricity. I wonder if they'll buy some thick line or if they'll use gas or diesel generators to charge a big battery, plus solar panels.
philippgerard · 3 years ago
It’s very hard to get the permission to run diesel generators for anything else than backup power here. And even then, it needs to be timed very precisely to be in line with regulations.

> But stability deteriorated elsewhere. Striking workers in Greece, pension protests in France and deadly clashes in Israel and Peru reduced scores in those countries.

???

Who is this list meant for? Seems kind of odd to penalize France because of pension protests

Am an American so might be lacking details, but my understanding is that Macron decided to raise the retirement age which was highly unpopular, and people were pissed off because of it? How do those protests make France "less livable"? If anything, it makes it more livable by my book.

Seems like Economist is just airing political grievances. Usually whenever I see these lists (e.g. "livability index", "democracy index", etc), the list maker shuffles around the top 10-20 countries in order to grind some political axe

Burning cars on the street would sure affect the livability in my neighborhood. The French are passionate people when protesting. And they protest a lot. Makes sense to me to me to mention it. It’s not about the right to assemble, otherwise I’m sure Hong Kong would be on the first spot on the list.
philippgerard commented on Show HN: Software Developer salaries in Germany by technology and city   germantechjobs.de/en/sala... · Posted by u/Varqu
philippgerard · 3 years ago
Having hired dozens of developers in Berlin over the last 10 years, I can confirm that these numbers look awfully low, at least for any major city in Germany. Munich should be even higher, Hamburg comparable to Berlin. 80k max is maybe for a mid level dev, surely not for anyone considered senior. Or I always overpaid, but then salaries should be related to the contribution to the overall success, not on the average of whatever other companies, so no hard feelings here.

> it can't work in the background

I could care less about that, I just want it to appear in Files.app

... but it's not available in the iOS FR app store (is it available anywhere but in the US app store?), so, deal breaker.

Available in Germany
