> This leaves the question: why does work start so early? If children benefit from sleeping longer, so should adults. If you work 7-15h (3pm american), you still have some daylight…

Tetra is the "mobile phone" that our emergency services (well, police and firefighters atleast, not sure about ambulances) use. It offers "normal" calls and messages, ut it also of…

Nah, usually it works, just the calls don't get through. Even after the Boston bombing, the people there couldnt get/take calls, because the network was flooded with other people c…

> Perhaps other than tracking concerns, I'm totally not convinced with the reasoning. Tracking is not an issue, if you keep your phone in airplane mode (wifi and bluetooth can be e…

5G works perfectly fine on same long distances as 2G/3G/4G did. But it adds a dedicated frequency range for emergency services, so when shit hits the fan, and everybody is calling …

Nah... it's just that we've got flashy new devices to communicate with, and "noone" cares about the old ones. The same thing is happening to every other tech, from IRC to SMS.

Neither does hackernews* (the threads are readable by the public). *yes, yes, https, username, passwords... i know.. but you write a block of text, post it, and it's shown here... …

What about communicating during a disaster? ..as in the article?

> 410 > This account is under investigation or was found in violation of the Medium Rules. Hmm...

We might be laughing now, but this kind of things bring us new laws, limitations and regulations. Drones are a great tool, even in the hands of a total amateur. Some regulation is …

Honestly, knowing how much taxes you pay is important (and as i said in a comment above, problematic, if people don't know). But this can be solved by autofiling taxes, and then se…

> is that if paying taxes gets too easy the average American will be less likely to push their representatives to lower taxes or to oppose new taxes that get proposed. This is prob…

Googles algorithms should penalize them hard for that... but they probably wont. Random users clicking a reddit link in search results, and coming back after two seconds and clicki…

Problem here is, if person #1 can do something, and gets away with it, then person #2 does that, and gets away with it, many more people will do the same. Spending more on the crim…

There should be only once choice, either you're a platform or a publisher. A platform should be open, and only illegal stuff should be removed. No preferences, no nothing. A publis…

This! You can put a mmwave basestation in a factory (a couple of cells near the ceiling) and controll everything (machines, "robots", transporters, forklifts, inventory,...) via LT…

And mobile phones have existed for 40 years, gsm for almost 30. Considering the most radiation is outputed during the phone conversations, and most people hold their phone always o…

I agree with this. A 'happy ending massage' worker "has to" give a 'happy ending' to a customer, and a vet "has to" shove his hand elbow deep up a cows orifice. Somehow we treat th…

https://jobs.aldi-hofer.com/hofer-kariera-si/job/1000-Ljublj... They're offering 1.2*minimum wage for 30h/week. For someone without any other qualifications, that's not bad. I dont…

I do not have any real numbers, and this is just anecdotal, but in Slovenia (small EU country), a lot of our larger retailers have replaced some posters (basically ads) in their st…

They do that with cigarettes but kids still get them (atleast in my country). Banning a device is useless, beceause the same vaporizer could be used to other stuff, and it'd be sti…

But what if they don't want to? Or are unable to (too stupid, not too poor)? Why work a 9-5 job, when you can spread your legs every now and then get Louboutin shoes for a present,…

When you reach a certain level of education and class, those "gold digger girlfriends" become "a wife", that others call "a trophy wife". I think MIT had many of those there.

Vaping is great! Take someone who smokes two packs a day, give him a niccotine vape, and he gets all the 'high' he needs to fuel his addiciton, with (by some sources) only 10% of t…

> Sorry, but a 60-something "finance" guy with an entourage of teen models doesn't add up. The only problematic thing here is the age of those models. Otherwise, rich people like t…
