I can understand that deleting posts is not nice for the people who posted an for the integrity of the information and context, but the link I am referring to is of a different nature, that is the /user?id=me could be deleted without breaking any thread. To add that feature seems a reasonable and sensible compromise between privacity and integrity of information.
Hacker News is an American site run by an American company, probably hosted on an American server.
It might be nice, as a courtesy, for them to add this for their considerable European userbase, but the web is global, and not everyone has to care about what Europeans consider to be their rights.
Knowing nothing about this person I thought It was a woman:
"I want to spend some real time with my parents, while I still have them, with my husband ...".
He/She wants to write a book and has time for his family and take care of his health.
The writer seems to be very good: A world of mass intimacy
with their reader, he loves them, he cares and that is the reason I find so hard to go away.
The Mayor of Manilva, Urieta Diego and director of the South Territory of Telefónica Spain, María Jesús Almazor, held a meeting to present the expansion plans the company has planned for the town. Thus, they have confirmed that it has begun the deployment of Fiber to the Home (FTTH) and that citizens already have 4G technology.
According highlighted the mayor, Manilva, later this year will be the first municipality in Andalusia to have installed fiber optic network in the hundred percent of the town.
It appears that my karma level don't allow me to downvote you (at 240 I only see the uparrow). I live in Spain and Telefonica is a very good company with an excellent service but a little expensive (you have to pay to have good quality). The appropriate word your post is FUD. I hope and wish that such a great company continues its expansion and growth. By the way, I am not affiliated with this company in any way but I recognize the value of great companies like telefonica.
Personal experience is not FUD. I'm not a user, but all I've heard about Telefonica is complaints and grievances. They were also the ISP which forced a caching proxy on its ADSL users, breaking a lot of sites. Granted that was a few years ago.
I and most of my friends and family in Spain have at some point spent hours trying to solve problems with our Telefónica phone and internet connections. Popularly it's known as Timofónica (Scam-ofonica).
When I hear the company's president mumbling [1] about how Google owes them money because Telefónica provides the networks, but Google makes the money thanks to their networks, I wonder how has the company grown so large, and how can a director be so incapable of coherent expression.
Edit: I leave this comment because I like Mozilla and enjoy Firefox, but I was dismayed to discover a few weeks ago that Telefónica was involved with Hello.
"Lack of service for hours every day", is that a personal experience?
Telefonica was providing services in villages and small towns with very difficult geography (mountains, roads, ...). Now there is a big competition in Spain, for example Jazztel is offering 200Gigabit/s up-down for 36 euros/moth and phone tax included. Our country is getting better in the IT sector and telefonica was the pioneer. It is easy to critique but in the old times there was no other option, and for many to have the opportunity to be connected is much better than to be out of the web.
"Lack of service for hours every day", is that a personal experience?
Yes, it's clear from the post that it is from personal experience. Why would you think otherwise?
Telefonica was providing services in villages and small towns with very difficult geography
Yes, back when it was a public company; that was just their responsibility.
It is easy to critique but in the old times there was no other option
Yes, but neither BSousa nor I were talking about dial-up times. Nor was the EU when they fined Telefonica for anti-trust violations, multiple times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telefónica#Monopoly
BSousa is commenting in another post down that in Manilva (a town in Spain) the service went down for two days ? (that's all). I posted a link in which Manilva is going to be the first town in Andalusia with 100% optic fiber (only telefonica) and now has 4G. There is one comment in that page from one people living there, and he says: At last we are going out of the prehistoric time.
There is a headline: Peter Thiel: Google Is A Monopoly - Business Insider
Living in Spain, I haven't noticed much to differentiate ISP's on compared to the UK. Telefonica seem very average to me, and their service was pretty reliable when we had it.
I live in Barcelona, is it likely that bigger cities get better service than other places?
What I see and makes me to reflect is that we allow ourselves to be rewarded (go home) when we are on the way to success. But what happens when we are in the worse part of a start-up? Harsh, very harsh.
In my country, with loads of unemployment (23%) and people struggling to meet ends, some people don't divorce because they can't afford it. Harsh but true.
Just a litte question, why using divorse and not divorce, just spelling or any other reason?
People in racket are using typep racket, clojure has annotation, in lisp you can declare types and sbcl infers them. Haskell also is fond of types. Perhaps in erlang types are not so important because you try to decompose the problem in small parts and hence is not so important to declare types?
I know persistence is great virtue, but I was wondering if there is any way to get real work experience (team, communication, real job conditions) and at the same time getting a good salary, that seems highly unlikely now. Only way to get it if you are able to, in same way, show something outstanding of a great value for your employer, what doesn't seem easy to achieve.
Thanks, sounds like a very good advice. But perhaps documentation is a no so appealing endeavor.
Another weakness of mine is that whatever I do I want to be paid in advance. I just don't see a quick ROI from working on documentation but I may be wrong.
