So pretty much any other country.

As far as I can tell, Kagi also requires you to create an account before you can try it out. You can of course disagree with that practice, but it is not like Uruky is requiring something far out of the ordinary.

Interesting! All the license stuff aside, there's definitely a desire for more EU-first services like this.

> [...] Since I had been cleared physically, getting out of the psychiatric hospital quickly to see a neurologist proved difficult. This was the single point, in retrospect, where our health care system let me down. It took a lucky connection with someone who happened to be a doctor to get me out of the psychiatric facility and into the neurology department at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

That sounds scary. As someone without any experience with psychiatric institutions or the US health system, I'm curious what people's views are on this.

The terminology in Erlang predates green threads by a decade or so.

Not necessarily that specific lamp, but GULLSUDARE from IKEA is the same kind.

New comment by Munksgaard in "Consider the Sister"

For people reading the comments first: This is an article about David Foster Wallace (DFW) and her sister, Amy. The title is a rewording of the title of one of DFW's essays "Consider the Lobster"[0], which is an interesting read if you haven't read it.

Having taken a license in both Denmark and the states, the test in the states was laughable in comparison. In Denmark, there are like 20 mandatory lessons, wet-surface practice, a theoretical exam and a practical exam, both of which people routinely fail (because they're hard). In the US, I paid 20 bucks, drove around the block, parked and received my license.
