This is really AI slop - so I don’t really know if it makes any sense for comments given that there is no real way to validate the crap that was put out.

It seems somebody bought the domain due to its rating. All the authors share the same type of image for their profile pics…

It’s sad that this content now come to the top of HN so often

Not only that - everything from this website seems to be posted in the past 3 months by 3 different accounts.

AI misinformation and slop - should be moderated and not top of HN

Isn’t this a ban on it being used by the state, rather than people/civilians?

Negatives to end user: unknown pesticides or banned pesticides.

No propaganda - lack of validation, evidence and trust

What war? Also should laws not be followed during wars? I assume suing is a legal action in this case as oppose to something else?

Yes, let take morality out of our daily lives as much as possible... That seems like a great categorical imperative and a recipe for social success

Can I use Docusign to provide my identity in Estonia online via my phone when I move there to buy a SIM card or open a bank account or file a document with the local authority?

Can I also send the Docusign document via Signal without Docusign knowing the person who signs it?

Because that is what the eIDAS is supposed to deliver on top of cryptographic validation of signatures.

Oh no… god forbid - adult content lol. Yes regardless of the content if the business is legal and they only changed an address that’s not a reason to have this level of shit support and no way to escalate and contact a human…

Any source for this comparison? Also did the EU buy it or said they will?

It never said it will stop right away. It put a target and the process is called phasing out. The same way you migrate away from AWS. You don’t just stop your platform you move over while still using some AWS services.

I don’t record my conversations and if some lawyer tells me that they have a recording of me saying something I’d be more inclined to believe them. “Maybe I actually said that? Maybe I made a mistake? Maybe I don’t remember it now correctly?”

So I’d take it with a pinch of salt but the lawyers might be absolutely correct as well. I’m just saying I can see it as a tactic but maybe I’m a bit paranoid. Wondering if just I jumped to this conclusion?

It absolutely is a problem to be dealt with. I understand what you are implying but it actually is a problem

Hey,

I'm the PM of LiveSync at Ably. We started working on this quite recently after we established a partnership with Mongo and they deprecated Realm. I'm looking to expand the product to mainly cover the sync functionality of Realm but the roadmap is not set in stone yet

It would kinda be funny if they did as they probably not want Apple to get fined as now they’d be shareholders

But that’s how they decided to fund other areas like having iOS free. I still don’t understand the logic behind the complaint. If the developers don’t want to pay, why not just drop support for iOS? If the answer is because customers are on iOS then… idk respect that this is the decision of the user. Don’t force me to install another App Store or give you my card data so you can charge me the same amount and keep more profit while compromising my privacy and security

Any evidence for this? Which big domestic company is a gatekeeper and not being targeted by the EU?

I like seatbelts but that doesn’t mean I’ll drive into a truck… I still use critical thinking when I buy stuff. But when I forget to cancel a subscription I can ask for a refund and 99% I get it back from Apple. Like 20-30% when I haven’t used the App Store and went directly to the merchant.
