That happens when you google idioms in other languages ... you have no clue about the actual usage. And they are usually not one-to-one.

German "das ist mir Wurst" is also a lot weaker than "zero fucks given", at least use something stronger like "das interessiert keinen Arsch" (no asshole cares). Also "zero fucks given" in the sense of "irresponsible, he just does it and doesn't care who gets hurt" doesn't really have an equivalent idiom. Maybe "als druff" (just go full power straight ahead) or something.

Das interessiert keine Sau.

No (female) pig cares about it / No sow cares about it

> more than 60 percent of Americans looking to buy something online start their product search on Amazon

I’d say it’s worse in other countries. The US probably has the most developed non-Amazon e-commerce market out there.

In Canada, doing an eBay search too is usually a non-starter, and there we have fewer niche online retailers in the first place.

Other countries without an e-commerce market right now risk becoming 100% dependent on Amazon.

To give you some insight about the situation in France: > It is very difficult to maintain diversity. Challengers can hardly face the leader head on. Amazon's dominance in e-commerce can always be put into perspective, as it only represents 13% of commerce in France today. Its position is much less dominant in France than in the United States. Except that e-commerce is far from having reached its saturation point.

simonke commented on Apple proposes adding "model" element to HTML that displays 3D content   github.com/WebKit/explain... · Posted by u/Jyaif
simonke · 4 years ago
A new element like canvas, except that model should be allowed to only draw 3d scenes? At this point they should just implement the w3c X3D specificiation into the browser with an integrated renderer (like SVG), so that we do not have to rely on x3dom anymore. Since SVG is not blocked, I do not see why X3D would be blocked.

How does one know a site like this is not just an other data harvesting site?
simonke · 4 years ago
They are in the EU, which means that you are protected by the GDPR. And the websites clearly states that no data is being harvested. I believe that two italian teenagers would not want to get sued to bankruptcy :)

Now of course, if only banks implemented some kind of OAuth instead of relying on a third-party logging into your account as you...

Banks are already doing that with openid. See partners of https://yes.com/ (European)

Really? People censoring themselves is the problem? Whenever I take a peek at social feeds I see people saying crazy things, insults, conspiracy theories, hate, etc. Usually I end up the feeling that the larger the audience and concurrency of engagement, the less people censor the them selves, it usually even make them see extra things that normally they won't say.

This is explained by Foucault: if you think that you are being watched, you will censor yourself. He uses the panopticon as metaphor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon. Bauman later called our situation "Post-Panopticism".
simonke commented on Chinese scientists destroyed proof of virus in December?   thetimes.co.uk/article/ch... · Posted by u/zeveb

I just searched the version in Chinese. This is the google translated version :

"“” When the severity of the virus is unknown, many companies have been commissioned by different hospitals to perform sequencing. After the National Centers for Disease Control received the report, they ordered all units without safety qualifications to destroy all virus samples. Less than two weeks later, the full virus sequencing results were made available to the world. "“”

I found that it's deplorable that so many white politicians and media practitioners lack professionalism and wisdom that caused so much severe spread around the world. Look at South Korean, it should be served as manual for pandemic crisis resolutions.
