    What do we do for a commercial stunt. We had 720p for 720x1280 We had 1080p fir 1080x1920 And now "5K" for 5120x2880? Is the screen supposed to be used in a "portrait" setting? It'…

    Wow, OK, weird. Aren't a and h supposed to be constant here too, just unresolved ones?

    Well, looking at the video, 11mn in, i see a weird system simplification: * 6 = 6a + 7h + i * 4 = 4a + 5h + i get "reduced" to: * 1 = a + 1.16h + i * 1 = a + 1.25h + i I wonder why…

    I won't have a problem thinking it's due to a bad actor. I will doubt it's the one the US are pointing at, though.

    Using page-down instead of scrolling help. Still horriblue UX/design, though.

    Job market isn't great here either (France, so not as bad as Italy), and I perfectly understand one taking a shitty job to support one's family. Still, getting a job where you are …

    Ah, the famous "Only doing its job" excuse. Yes, their job is shitty, but when your job is to bully people (by phone or otherwise), don't expect rainbows and unicorns.

    If it come to that, I suspect Duckduckgo will be kind enough to point me in the right direction. Since ebooks are zip with a well-defined file hierarchy, I may even be able to hack…

    From an user perspective, those walled garden for ebooks are a real problem. Since I like to have a paper copy of my books, I have a working solution, not perfect though: * If ther…

    Would be nice to add a full-offline option. Don't take it wrong, but I'm getting wary of services offering to store my data online for free, especially when I don't know how / if i…

    Saying that "It's easy to solve, so if the restaurants haven't yet, it's probably not a problem" is pretty bad as excuses go. The point isn't that it can't be solved, the point is …

    No way it's there, the Stasi did have file on most citizens, but it wasn't as well indexed, comprehensive, and easily searchable as what current government 'security' agencies have…

    There is a market, or should I say: there are markets: * people who often broke their screens (my current boss is at 3 screens in 2 years, and counting) * enthusiast, early adopter…

    Wow, I was quite taken aback, expecting to read about al-quaida, got robin hood instead. Still, it is only one source, but having this version of this story of those so-called pira…

    The objective of basic income is not to increase everyone's wealth, but to increase overall quality of life. Restaurants wouldn't disappear, but it would be a bit more expensive. A…

    As an European from the Shengen Area, I never really considered the UK a part of EU. London is 2H30 from my home (Paris), but I found going to Roma or Barcelona more easy, since I …

    For the 'not fluent' part, you are being harsh (and kind of rude). Not everybody can be fluent on Californian tech-community english. The post is in english, easy to understand and…

    Just to get your numbers straight: EU => 507 million people. Also, when you look graph ², you can wonder how much of that is due to recession. (found at random via google search, s…

    Shorter distances is a good argument, but there also others differences which aren't advantage. Most of my observations are from France, since it's where I live, but it should be c…
