In every language the word for tea is similar to either "tea" or "cha". If tea first came to the country by sea, they adopted the Fujianese word "ti". If it came by land, they adopted the word "cha" used in northern China and along the Silk Road. The only exception is Japanese which uses "cha" despite tea first arriving by sea.
Ha, then explain why in Polish it's called "herbata":->
Here in Poland we have EMV and 99% of cards issued by banks operating in Poland have magstripe and chip, and all transactions are authorized by a PIN.
The only popular scam I've heard of here was to record the magstripe & PIN using a rigged ATM (with skimmer and camera over the pinpad), send the magstripe & PIN data to some other country (ie. in South America), and then try to grab cash using a cloned card there.
The only time I have ever had to sign my card payment was when using my employer-issued lunch card, that had no chip and was magstripe&signature-only.
Banking technology in Poland is way ahead of the one in US because we have skipped a lot of now-dead technologies, like cheques, pagers, etc.
Also, nowadays most points of sales accept contactless card payments, which, while they have their own problems (easy low-value PIN-less transactions after stealing the card, limited to some low numbers), at least are safe from skimmers, because the card doesn't need to touch the point of sale.
Honest question from one of the 0.01%: How do you people parse news across the web? Does everybody only read aggregators? Do you visit all of your sources websites individually? How is that not driving people insane? I just don't understand.
I'm using Google News.
I used to use Google Reader, later moved to InoReader. The amount of news to read was overwhelming. Google News seems to be doing some deduplication.
Maybe you got lucky, but paying you very well is not the Scandinavian model. They pay everyone moderately well, try to make it a nice place to work and give you a good work-life balance and hope you don't throw it all away chasing a few more dollars. If you really want to maximize your salary you probably need to do some job hopping here too but it doesn't have nearly the same benefit, like the CEO is often paid 2-5x that of a regular employee and everyone else is somewhere in between.
I didn't write that it was a top salary in my profession. But it's above average. I could easily get 20% more somewhere else. But the work quality would be twice worse, so it's not worth it for me.
Your knowledge of America is lacking of course. We get paid far better than you Eurotrash, but we don't get two months off a year like you to fuck off instead of working. It's why America is competitive and strong, and the rest of the world a bunch of whiners and losers. But please do keep your illusions. It makes kicking your asses so much more satisfying.
Yeah, America is so strong that it has the biggest demand for antidepressants and psychotherapists in the whole world. That really shows a thing about american way of life - rat race, fake smile, fake quality of life. Please do keep _your_ illusions.
And don't get me wrong, I don't want to change your way of life if you like it so much. The problem with it will solve itself when you work yourself to death.
Well, why is that surprising?
American companies are known for exploiting their employees, treating them like shit, paying them as low as they can, and firing them as soon as they can.
I, for a change, have job that I'm unlikely to leave any time soon. Why? Because they're paying me a very good salary, and they're treating me very well. They see the human part in their employees, unlike Americans who see their employees as disposable machines. I don't work in the USA, but I used to work for 2 American companies. Now I work for a Scandinavian company, and I love it.
How is this possible that anything other than government-issues metal license plates is legal to use?
How is it possible that an electronic screen prone to damage has been allowed to display license plate data?
Is this e-plate clearly visible during nights?
Does it work when the car battery runs off?
Can it survive minor bumper collisions?
Instead, he emphasizes quality service, low prices, and acts (horrors!) as if customers are people and not simply cows to be milked.
Pity that the same can't be said about his treatment of his employees. (hint: read about the working conditions in Amazon warehouses, TLDR: they're like slave camps)
The OLPC XO-2 did have two identical displays, maybe having one be OLED makes it novel enough to call their own...
Probably has more rounded corners too!
That was just a concept, never made into a real thing.
Lenovo has made a similar thing a reality: Yoga Book.
I've tried to type on it's touchscreen keyboard in a shop where it was displayed as a demo. It was horrible.
Try one of these:
- HP x2 (also known as HP Pavilion x2) - 10-inch laptop-tablet hybrid with eMMC flash (not SSD)
- Lenovo Miix 320
- Asus Transformer
- Acer Switch One
I've recently bought a HP Pavilion x2 10-n140nw (V2H20EA) for about 300$, and it's fine as a secondary device (checking web and email while on the trips, video conferencing, instant messaging). It can also run some less CPU/GPU-heavy games.
I'm pretty sure this detector would be making lots of false positive detections when scanning black/death metal fans. Death and suicide are a hot topic in this kind of music. Horror books/movies fans might be affected too.

Oh yeah. Updates. You mean those Debian updates that come every 3 years or the Ubuntu ones that come every 12 months?
WTF? I guess you've never used them. Security and minor feature updates are available in the repo every few days.
And don't forget also this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
611 for suicide, 911 for extroverted suicide. 311 for a really delicious guacamole recipe.
How about an easier to remember number, like: 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3.
Next solution: suicide (prevention!) booths.

"Isis == Saudi Arabia without oil"
Not really. ISIS funded most of their operations by _selling oil_ from the lands they've controlled. Iran was buying some of it.

Searching for "alien life" is probably one of the most useless human activities ever invented.
Yeah, right, because computing hashes of transactions of essentially worthless virtual money (or money-wannabe) is so much better.
Pretty sure there is an I in TlCK.

People who annoy governments tend to kill themselves, isn't that strange?

The godking of 3D would solve this in 3 months. I'd feel a lot better if thr creator of quake did the autonomous driving.
Yeah, and the bunnyhopping cars would get rid of all traffic jams.
So install a Ukranian bitcoin mining program I guess? That has nothing at all to do with root. Do you even know how any of this works?
These days it only requires browsing a specific web page. No need to install any app.
