Hey, your tool is not working great with german articles. It can't pronounce Umlauts and also has trouble with some pretty standard simple words.

I used this article as a test: https://www.saarbruecker-zeitung.de/saarland/landespolitik/s...

I will look at why the charactere that Umlauts are not well pronounced. Do you have examples of other words? I will investigate :)

Danke für dein Feedback, das hilft mir wirklich weiter .

On the same topic, in Latvian all the characters with diacritics are stripped out completely. For example, "iedzīšana" is pronounced as "iedzana", making the audio pretty funny, though hard to understand.

I'm working on solving these pronunciation problems for the special characters if I unlock one everything else will follow. Don't hesitate to sign up to be kept informed!

Why would European countries extradite american criminals to the US? Because we established a trust in each other and want to keep it that way for both sides benefits.

> treaties [...] not based on trust

How are these treaties enforced? All international treaties are ultimately based on trust. There is no higher authority, only elective councils of and voluntary commitment to procedures (a.k.a. promises) by sovereign states.

Specifically not even these formal promises have been given by e.g. the United States of America which to this day has signed but never ratified either the VCLT[1] or the VCLTIO[2], so is figuratively giving a lukewarm "let's see about the convenience of that when it comes up".

If the company doesn't do any business in Europe it has no users in Europe, therefore it doesn't have to comply with the GDRP at all.

GDPR is extra-territorial and its rights apply to EU citizens wherever they are in the world

if a EU user is in the US ON HOLIDAY! and they're using your service, you're subject to the GDPR

(in theory)

No. GDPR isn't tied to citizenship. EU citizens & residents are not covered by GDPR when they are outside of EU unless member state's law applies by virtue of public international law (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/).

A bit more unclear situation is if non-resident is visiting EU and uses services from their home country.

like most EU law it's badly written, but it states "to such data subjects in the Union"

given "within the Union" is used separately in the next sub-article to mean physically located within, it's arguable that "in the Union" could mean citizen of

You don't have to have a presence established in the EU to be under EU jurisdiction. Any european user makes you responsible to ensure GDPR rules for that user.

So even if Discord had no presence in the entire EU, no office, no worker, no nothing, it doesn't absolve the company from staying within GDPR rules for their european users.

Only way to get out of that problem is to block any user with a european IP, although even then you could have users using a VPN, not sure how this would handle before the law.

> You don't have to have a presence established in the EU to be under EU jurisdiction. Any european user makes you responsible to ensure GDPR rules for that user.

That argument has always seemed recursive to me. The law that says "having an EU user means you are under EU jurisdiction" is an EU law, so for it to apply to you, you have to be under EU jurisdiction. What's the base case?

What you're describing is more like dictation. What you'd probably say is "export the button component", and it would determine the syntax.

Which will probably, outside of small, perfectly planned experiments, work similarly well

You're free to speculate, but I would respectfully disagree. Extrapolating from how effective GPT3/Copilot are at interpreting text and generating code, I think it has more of a chance of working well than any other tech has ever had. I definitely hope it succeeds, anyhow!

Yeah the result is pretty much "Never stop moving, always do sports." as if nobody knew that that is something we should probably all do.

One small thing: You let me preview the cool bookshelf wallpaper, but then I can't click on it to immediately get that one. I scrolled through the first two pages of wallpapers, not able to find it. Would be a cool addition to just be able to click the wallpaper that is currently on preview at the top.

That's a very valid report, thanks! I'll look into adding a search option to the wallpaper picker. This particular picture is called Library and is quite old :-)

The stock component is missing an error message, when it can't find a stock. I entered "MSCI World" and it just kept loading and loading.

Fixed!

My last fews doctors visits at my German GP doctor have taken me 25 calls or more to get to a person. This is a practice of two doctors, not a huge house. I think Covid has done a number to those telephone systems, especially since you can only get vaccinated and PCR-tested through gp's now for the most part.

I'd love to know if they are aware how bad it really is. You're sick and want to just stay in bed, but need to see them to check up on you. And then you lie there and call them 25 times on repeat until finally, maybe, someone picks up.

This is like the definition of "old man yells at cloud".
