It's only X language to English, or is there a way to have X language to Y language? Such as listening to a podcast in Spanish, and having the translation in German? I couldn't find the latter if that exists

At the moment it is only English, but adding more languages to translations/definitions is on my plans.

I hate newsletters, but in this case: Can i subscribe something to get an update when you've more languages available?

E.g. I'd love to use it for Norwegian -> German


I don't have a mailing list at the moment, but I will create one and send product updates to the people that have accounts, so if you create an account with your email I will send updates that way.

it's not "now", it's 2024 price. "Grid synchronization" doesn't mean, subsidized by Russia, it just meant that Russia provides energy if Estonia didn't produce enough energy, and the other way around (though it likely never happened). It's clear though that Russia was not selling at inland price.


According to Wikipedia, Estonia did sometimes export energy to Russia.

I don't know why this should be surprising.

You're mixing up a bit everything. Bitcoin is totally different from Ethereum or Solana and these 2 networks are different from all the NFTs and meme coins launched on these Ethereum and Solana.

By the way, if you thought that Trump was doing something illegal, which certainly sounds suspicious, well it isn't. This guy gives a good overview of the why https://x.com/wassielawyer/status/1881995797245600248


It’s not illegal for a celebrity to launch a meme coin or collectible. It’s not as clear if the President and his direct family can do the same.

Anti-bribery/corruption is the concern with the coins (just as it was with his hotels in the first administration). Not the legality of the coin.

But it’s moot, this admin has decided that norms don’t constrain it and it will not allow investigations into itself. So it’s de facto legal.


it's a ... memecoin - a category of crypto assets.


It’s a funnel for foreign bribes. That’s literally the only utility of these Trump coins.


It's hard to believe how Google could mess up their network so badly. Apple network shall be totally dwarfed.

As a nomad-traveler, the Apple network is not particularly relevant to me, I don't travel to the wealthiest cities with a lot of Apple phones, but to the "rest of the world" where Android market share is close to 90% dominance. But even there, it still seems that Apple is doing better than Google (...)


I suppose security and privacy have a cost - 2k USD for a phone with old specs ...


Depends. That's the U.S. made version. So you're paying for U.S. labor. There's an $800 version too.

Plus they offer anti-interdiction service as well.


> ... the shared faith in this "holy religion, the rule of law" is the only thing holding together your country, my country ...

Let's forget a minute about that holy rule of law, "your" country has elected a convicted criminal, and it's yet to collapse.


> and it's yet to collapse

This will age well.


Yeah, it's pretty clear that the rule of law is not particularly strong in the US. The past few years have made it clear that some people really are above the law.


Quite an interesting fact that both committed victimless crimes and both were victims of exceptional prosecution


That's comparing apples and oranges. One spent 10 years in a jail for making himself rich (and some others), the other never spent a day in a jail for committing at the highest level election subversion, retention of classified information, hush money payment (and more) - and was caught on the latter, eventually. It was arguably "exceptional prosecution" for that hush payment, like Al Capone was caught on a mere tax fraud


Maybe he should've pardoned himself into the past and a little bit into the future too, like that other man did. /jk


>One spent 10 years in a jail for making himself rich (and some others), the other never spent a day in a jail for committing at the highest level election subversion, retention of classified information, hush money payment (and more) - and was caught on the latter, eventually.

What an interpretation!

Another one might be: they tried to throw all kinds of things at Trump, and they all failed because they simply aren't true, until they managed to catch him on some triviality.

The fact that you "rule of law" people keep putting out accusations as if they were convictions, and insinuating people should be judged on these accusations is truly horrible for the system.


Are you calling Trump's crimes "victimless"? And he's barely been prosecuted. Everything was postponed indefinitely or blocked by corrupt judges.


I can agree with that, it's the best counter argument, at least. Though it's a weak one.

Cause there is certainly better ways to prepare a kid to the real tough life than having him to go through a prison. I can certainly see what the OP went through by relating to my own experience. I managed better, I was more often than not in the neutral ignored camp but I really see how bullies made life miserable to others, and how it could have been very different. These tensions didn't help me, it was just an issue I had to deal with, more or less successfully. But I really felt a liberation when I started my first job, though I've no rights to complain about my childhood.

Regular teaching is a thing of the past. Specific lessons tailored to a kid capacity through AI (let's give it a few more years) is the future. Most modern countries will certainly start swapping regular teaching within the 10 next years, the rest of the world will follow.


The middle class and below live paycheck to paycheck so that's an issue they don't have. I suppose the author refers to this (ironically or not)

But debanking happens, or has happened, to _almost_ everybody who has some assets and cash, probably from the higher middle class until the ~1% .. as for the super wealthy, this class enjoys offshore private banking, has assets split into dozens of accounts and is mostly unbothered by AML.


> debanking happens, or has happened, to _almost_ everybody who has some assets and cash

I don't think this is true. I know many people with assets and as far as I know, none of them has been debanked. Surely I would know someone who has been debanked if almost everybody with assets has been.


You need to provide data behind your claim that debanking is so widespread as to use the word almost everybody.

Never ever heard any person I know being denied banking services, except for some unlucky (were they?) entrepreneur with very shady is-he-laundering-money situations.


I feel exactly the same. I tire of people on HN talking about their accounts being closed but providing 10% of the relevant information to their case. I have said it before and I will say it again: If your accounts are wrongfully closed, immediately: (1) Visit your your bank in protest and meet with the branch manager and (2) send physical letter of complaint to (a) local branch (b) head office (c) national bank regulator and make it clear you have CC'd all. I bet 99% of legit cases will be reinstated within 30 days.


Small VCs have this de-banking problem. Their patterns for cash and not conducive to want banks want and large banks will regularly close them down.


> The middle class and below live paycheck to paycheck so that's an issue they don't have.

You mean they answer surveys saying they do, according to surveys published in press releases from payday lenders.

They also answer surveys from the Fed saying they have median $8k in bank accounts and that they can pay 3 months of expenses in cash.

These two things are contradictory.


More likely different people are represented in the surveys and general trends are erroneously extrapolated from non-representative populations


Much more likely is that self-reporting is notoriously unreliable and "paycheck to paycheck" is a state of mind.


We're better at doing surveys than that.

If you look in the details of the "paycheck to paycheck" surveys, people reporting they make 200k+ a year also say yes to that, so I think it's just unclear what they think it means.


> But debanking happens, or has happened, to _almost_ everybody who has some assets and cash, probably from the higher middle class until the ~1%

Can you back up this claim? The wealthier you are the less chance you're going to be debanked. Marc Andressen and all the crypto bros will never have an issue with debanking. Banks are rolling out the red carpet for him and everyone else with his net worth.

What they (1%) want is to own the bank and own (and create) the currency without ever having to be an actual bank. They invest in crypto to make a massive profit, and it's foolish to play along with these things as some sort of benefit to society. Together these guys could end world hunger and still have more money than they would ever need, but no, they've decided VBucks are a pressing issue.


Sure this guy is certainly really weird, but this appointment is about crypto and AI and none of these techs are related to Russia or Ukraine in particular.
