Wow, I had no idea American was still flying these.
Back in 2013, SAS retired their last MD-80. The last flight was a special "museum flight" with the cabin filled with flight enthusiasts. They flow quite low-height over beautiful places in the Nordics during this flight.
I kinda feel like organizing a program blocking journalists at these american newspapers that are blocking europeans.. from accessing european newspapers/sites. Just because. I'm sure there's a way of figuring out the public IPs for their NATs etc.
There wouldn't be any supposedly unbounded liability if they disabled the ads for that region they aren't really targetting anyway.
Also: GDPR hygiene works in the US as well. You've got some way to catch up though; you even allow a lot of really bad food substances that are banned in the EU (and most of the civilized world), just because... profits. It's all kind of a sad states of affairs for a supposedly first world country.
"Unfortunately, our website is currently unavailable in most European countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to the EU market. We continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will provide all readers with our award-winning journalism."
How about just disabling the third-party ads along with their invasive tracking until you've figured out a way to monetize the long tail of traffic from EU?
That has never happened (as far as I know, in modern history). Of course that's not a reason it can't happen, but I feel like you owe us at least a plausible decade downturn scenario.
Index funds have become successful since they've performed well compared to active investment funds. Why would the active investors suddenly get better at guessing the future?
Not an economist, but it's obvious to anyone used to thinking in terms of systems that index funds can't work after a certain amount of the money poured into the system is managed by index funds.
Really? I've never been as hung over as the day after I was drinking vodka with my polish counterpart software developers. Granted, they were still living in Poland, so not really immigrants, but they were probably amongst the 5-10% highest paid people in the country.
Hey.. so based on my experience from the two previous HN articles this was mentioned in, in the previous hours, this submission will be flagged off the front page shortly. (Like in 5-10 minutes from now.)
This story was flagged by longtime members to YN (those are the people who get to flag stories) - I have little doubt that many of those are also loyal to mainland china and the CCP. The story reached the #2 spot on HN before the mass flagging.
(I wonder how many minutes this comment will last before being mass-flagged in a coordinated manner by a particular cohort?)
I really call on YC/HN to remove/rework this flagging system. It's a tool that gangs can use to delete dissent. It's unworthy of civilized discourse.
Edit: Ah, there we go, now this entire story is [flagged] and off the main page.
At first I suspected the HN moderators, but now that I see that the story is flagged, I suspect.. that it was just that.. flagged by chinese HN users mostly in SV, patriotic to their motherland.
