I doubt it. They are protecting against variations of "crowdstrike"...Not every variation of domains with the word "strike" in it. That would go beyond reasonable.
> "Or maybe reset your phone before giving it to others (for any purpose)?"
Yeah that's not a nice thing to say as well. But I don't sense any sexist aspect in there. Personal shots can be ignored instead of adding more fuel to the fire.
> Not sure why you are trying to detract of the alleged incident by trying to claim the victim is being "toxic".
I don't think I was, just pointing out a couple of odd aspects of people going off on Twitter without proof. I did say we should take this seriously but also expect hard proof to back up their claims.
I believe tweets like this gets put on Twitter for several reasons:
1) Victim receives unsatisfactory response from Google (or no meaningful response from Google which I have personally experienced). They seek public attention to get Google to acknowledge the issue.
The parent never said "criminal" charges against Google.
Thats not just bad service. If the third party is an official agent of Google, then Google can be liable (monetary penalties). Now, proving that in practice is a question for the civil courts.
Now, if I was looking for a new Android device and I saw all these reports, I would definitely think twice before purchasing a Google Pixel.
I had a similar experience during school. One real life troll told a substitute teacher I was accessing porn sites. Teaching sub only looked at the website url before kicking me off the computer. Unfortunately there was no follow-up for me to call them out on being lazy/ignorant. Funny thing was the "troll" did get banned later for accessing porn sites on the school network.
Exactly this. Now they recommend “protein foods”.
Not related to this story but even the glass of juice is recommended to be replaced with a glass of water (and eating whole fruits and vegetables).
Maple Leaf is doing the right thing to prepare to adapt quickly.
Governments that do this in Europe fail horribly and just increase prices by huge multiples, nothing else. Last year a whole division of a capital city (Prague) got pretty seriously sick because of government failure. Today in the morning the water did not run at all. Thanks, government.
I know HN is very leftist, so I expect downvotes. It'd be nice to have a discussion though.
Last time I checked, we had very decent municipal water in France. In many cities it actually tastes better than bottled water. Water sources are quite well protected as well. It's not perfect, but honestly much better than the swimming pool water I drank in the US.
I think it's weird that whenever the subject of safe drinking water comes up, people immediately talk about how it tastes. As if that matters. I mean, lead is pretty tasty, too.
Once you sampled enough public water in your month around the world, you tend to associate bad taste with bad quality. Water that doesn't make you sick has a very subtle one, or taste like a swimming pool. But you won't drink the second one so...
There are places where it's better or even very good in the Czech Rep. as well. The point is that sometimes, government fails horribly and there is no way out because well, it's the government, its whole job is to enforce its rule. BTW the USA as a whole is comparable to the EU as a whole in terms of corruption and competency.
One occurrence l of failure in one city in one European country is not an indication of ongoing issues in all European countries.
Would love to hear about systematic issues in Sweden, Germany, Norway, France, Belgium, Switzerland etc. All have strong government role in regulation and municipal water supplies.
Your comment implying political bias for everyone who disagrees with you is cheap rhetoric. And, the US is so far right on the political spectrum that anyone “leftist” there is likely to the right of the center in the EU.
In Bergen, Norway a few years ago there was a problem with water contamination. Basically city negleted to upgrade the filtering system and after few atipically mild winters and/or population growth near watter sources some microorganisms managed to grow in sufficient quantities to pass through the old very basic filters. People in affected districts were advised to drink bottled water as even boiling watter was not enough to kill all microorganisms.
>"Governments that do this in Europe fail horribly and just increase prices by huge multiples, nothing else."
That's a very strong statement to make based on one example. That would like saying that the US has no quality control, look at Flint. As an argument for less government, this just isn't very strong. It would help to show a systematic failure instead of a singular event. But, I could imagine if that were to happen where I live, I would be pretty angry at whoever caused it as well.
That is not a proof that governments cannot regulate water quality. The water quality in the Netherlands is really good, tap water is better than most bottled waters.
All you have shown is that Czech government needs to improve.
Maybe it's your implementation of government, not the concept itself that's at fault. Having lived in Germany for 30 years, I never experienced anything like that nor met anyone who has.
Austria here and I am very satisfied with my "socialist water" experience. Exposing basic requirements for survival to free market forces seems like a recipe for failure.
Maybe this is different in Eastern Europe (you know, the old Warsaw pact countries), but in Western Europe tap water is of very reliable quality, and consistently delivered.
I'm comparing the EU as a whole to the USA as a whole because it's pretty much the same in terms of competence and corruption. BTW Czech Republic is the most successful out one of Warsaw Pact countries and is on basically the same level as some of the western ones.
The EU as a whole is very comparable to the USA as a whole in terms of competence and corruption. This was my point - somewhere it'd be OK or even very good, but somewhere it's going to be horrible and there is going to be no way out.
