No. The way we have built our healthcare system on top of private actors (at least here in Finland) has very little to do with capitalism. Successful lobbying, if not straight corr…

To me this Windows hate feels like a form of a group think. But I find myself on the sidelines on many other issues, too.

> For video or text chat or both? To keep things simple, I would like to use Teams for both. I do not recall any issues on using Teams on Windows. On Mac neither, but most of my wo…

I wonder if those who complain about Teams actually use it. They might not. My company forces us to use Google Chat. I would take Teams any day.

I have a feeling that singular events are more often picked in favor of climate change? Same goes with the scientific evidence too: some time series are used while others are dropp…

> The problem with USB-C is that you can't just pick up a device cable and power brick and expect them to work together. We clearly need more regulation.

...and language!

Logic…

I have had a flu the last year twice, both times tested negative.

In Finland Covid can be diagnosed just by flu like symptoms, even with a negative test result for Covid. Not sure how much this affects rhe stats. Practically no cases of influenza…

But still, the action happened on political basis. This feels something I used see happening in Eastern Block or USSR some 40 years ago.

What if his claims were true and this happened? Wouldn't that be a tricky situation too? I mean, really tricky? At the same time I think Youtube has the right to do this (and whate…

Well, a crisis situation (be it real or manufactured) is a perfect vehicle for driving all kinds of agendas. It is natural there is some opposition.

Yes. Check the Yamal Peninsula in Google Maps and you realize this kind of cratering is a process that has been going on for thousands of years (since the ice age really!).

I agree. I also have a hunch that you are in a very different bubble than I am, and the worldview that I convey from your bubble does not make sense to me at all. I think I used to…

A fun fact: ”Kamala” is Finnish for ”Horrible”.

Last year I have regularly had calls with participants from US, Italy, Finland and Australia. Never had any issues so go figure...

So it is not really an alternative! :)

The problem is, the "protection" and "regulation" quickly become tools to eliminate your political enemies. In some ways this is already happening in the western world. We are beco…

English might not be his first language. Not mine either, so I did not notice the bad grammar! I have noticed in my own use of English language that after getting into a level wher…

Are you sure? The motivation for this could be interpreted as pro-Islamic too, in the sense that old religious symbols (in this case Christian) are removed from public places as th…

To me the most voiced people in Hacker News represent a strange mix of logic (engineering) and delusion (group think regarding the climate change). Yes, you can count me as a denia…

No, it’s not all of Europe. In Northern Finland we’we had even snow in the last few days and typical day temperatures hang around ten degrees Celcius (EDIT: which is actually typic…

Many times the consensus has provided scientific evidence (e.g. geocentric model) and has still been wrong. For some reason, I feel that something similar is going on with the clim…

The money would be taxed away, of course.
