Either you want to be a customer or you won't. Using a friend's paypal will get you banned for sure. Why not just provide the passport if you want to use their service, jf that's t…

Yes, it is exactly that.

It says here that fraud happened on german side. The chinese company reported that documents have been modified on the german controlling side without their approval, and that pote…

Hi, It's marked in the thread you referenced that Marcus only excepts US based customers. I assume it is best to close your account with them and let them transfer the remaining ba…

They explicitly added an exception later on for newspapers (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38114111 )

I had a similar bug more than 10 years ago, also while building a search index through Lucene. It would crash after hours of running with an impossible nullpointer exception. It al…

Common sense

There is no fair use for copyright in Europe. That's the reason why we don't have any google here, and won't have any AI company here.

I called for homelander to help and he incinerated the puppies with his laser vision while sporting an evil grin I survived too, even though it was a desperate attempt :)

Newspapers in europe are allowed to do so too, why shouldn't facebook?

Pay or to be tracked is only allowed for newspapers...

I don't understand why this only applies for Facebook then. 2 1/2 years, ago they opened up a loop hole for newspapers that they are explicitly allowed to do it (Either you pay, or…

I'm no expert, but I think this was accepted 2 1/2 years ago and is already implemented? https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2021... Look here (referenced pdf i…

Newspapers weaseled already an exeption out 2 years ago, see https://www.heise.de/news/E-Privacy-Verordnung-EU-Rat-fuer-V...

There is a german artcile about this here: https://www.heise.de/news/E-Privacy-Verordnung-EU-Rat-fuer-V... Read the part about cookie walls for newspapers: Cookie-Wall soll bleiben…

It's a double standart again. Newspapers lobbied the EU that it s allowed for them (not sure if it was changed at the end). But if you go to a large european newspaper site (eg spi…

That's a classic move. We also had once an office admin stealing stuff. When we revoked his access cards and fire him, he came back the night with a different acces scard and stole…

You are completely mistaken That fee only covers general piracy. It does not give you the right to copy copyrighted works. In fact, european copyright is much stricter than US copy…

Your wikipedia reference doea not mention Luxembourg. The median salary is more than 20 percent higher than danmark https://today.rtl.lu/news/luxembourg/a/2007306.html and taxes ar…

For dedicated servers: - deploy from source repo? Terraform? * local build server, which rsyncs to application servers (e.g. files), or through docker registry * scripts to start/s…

I can only recommend hetzner. At my former company, we started with 8 servers with them nearly 15 years ago and now have more than 6000 servers with them. https://www.hetzner.com/c…

And meanwhile, all the big newspapers in germany ask you to consent to individual tracking (and sharing to third parties) whenever you access their websites. Since they are not Met…
