12 lb = ~5.4kg. That is almost 10usd (~8.9eur) per kilo for fruits. Not a bit expensive?


Such a strange country.


A bit naive. I am sure the DMCA can be used to put some fire on their ass to rewrite the documentation though but not much more than that.


The DMCA can be used to put a fire under them to file a DMCA counternotice, at which point the whole issue with their hosting provider is done and you are down to the basic question of are you going to file, litigate, and win an actual copyright lawsuit on a timeline and at a cost that leaves you with a viable startup.


Depends who is hosting their documentation. Under the DCMA, hosting providers are obligated to take content down when they recieve a valid takedown notice (They can put it back up when they get a counter notice).


And now that this has hit HN, I bet they're rewriting the docs right now.


I am sorry to hear that but it is does not really surprise me. I bet they will just rewrite their docs a little bit and then go on with their business.

Amazing that they have 55M$ in funding and still hire a bunch of amateurs. I bet the design for their docs is based on some free online template too because it looks very cheap.

I wish you all luck!


If it is like in Spain then the non-registered sim cards from other EU countries will simply not work if I remember correctly.

However I have heard that in Spain you could anyway buy unregistered sim cards from certain stores if you asked around and paid a bit more.


My non-registered Dutch t-mobile SIM worked fine in Spain a couple of weeks ago.


Sounds unlikely. I know quite many in Sweden who have unregistered SIM cards and I think I would have heard of if they did not work in Spain.


Alright then I am mistaken. But I do know for sure that you are required to show ID to get a sim card inside the country and there are no unregistered prepaid cards.


I will be happy when there are birth control pills for men and in all discussions I have seen around the internet pretty much everyone was positive as well. I also disagree that unwanted pregnancies are caused by men. I think both are to blame.

> Because, for the precious minutes when they’re penetrating their partner, not wearing a condom gives them more pleasure.

Maybe this must be some American thing. Only a few precious minutes?


Finally a horrible Google product that can be vandalized! Spray cans for the cameras and monitors, glue and isolation foam spray for everything else! Those street cleaning robots wont last very long neither.


How can FizzBuzz be complicated for anybody? The solution is so obvious. I thought it was some sort of trick question but apparently not.

http://wiki.c2.com/?FizzBuzzTest


Well... vanilla FizzBuzz is easy peasy. Ask them to draw an architecture diagram for FizzBuzz Enterprise Edition on a whiteboard. Or ask them to implement it without using the modulus operator... muahaha. I'm sure that'd stump almost everyone.

You can make FizzBuzz incredibly complicated if you deviate from the vanilla FizzBuzz.


Asking for it without using the modulus operator is a bit evil haha.

I like this exercise and I sent it to a friend who has a few years of programming experience but is still learning heavily.

The first solution lacked the number being printed but everything else was right. Second solution had the number, but he missed the FizzBall when the number was divisible by both three and five. The third solution lacked the Fizz when it was divisible by three. Finally his fourth solution was correct.


My favorite is the variation where the base numbers and replacement strings are supplied as run-time parameters.

      RunFizzBuzz("");
      RunFizzBuzz("3=Fizz,5=Buzz");
      RunFizzBuzz("7=Rutabaga");


You'd be amazed at the percentage of people who fail this test. I can't say I have interviewed many people, but even seeing one or two people fail this test for a technical role is mind-boggling.


I could imagine someone not from a CS background to fail it by perhaps not recognizing they need to the modulus operator or even being aware of its existence?

Outside that, yeah. It indeed boggles the mind that the vanilla version of it could be failed by anyone who has taken elementary programming course.


In order to test your real problem-solving skills, you should allow the use of Internet search, because not all computer professionals can remember a particular algorithm.


It is really funny that some people spend months preparing for a job interview though it is equally morbid because they gotta be a bit insane to do it, and those are the people that will end up working on the next AI surveillance/manipulation technology.


It just looks like a regular Chinese bazaar store except Japanese. Do they sell pens that dries out after a few weeks? USB cables that starts glitching after two weeks? Shoes that fall apart after a few days?


Pretty much, but Donki's main selling point is the incredible array of completely off-the-wall shit in no discernible order. For example, this pic has rubber chickens, an exploding hat, a helium dispenser for making your voice squeaky, gorilla plushies, retro gaming consoles, sexy maid costumes, a giant robot toy, a RC helicopter and a waffle iron:

I think they intentionally put these in nightlife districts, so they can be a sort of drunk man's IKEA where you always end up buying more than you planned to.


>I think they intentionally put these in nightlife districts, so they can be a sort of drunk man's IKEA where you always end up buying more than you planned to.

Complete with food.


My favourite example if that kind of store is Miniso. It's a Chinese chain that pretends to be Japanese.


The chain is based in China, but one of Miniso's founders is actually Japanese.

I recently ran into a "Yubiso" in KL, meaning there's now a Malaysian clone of a Chinese clone of Japanese stores (Miniso is basically Uniqlo and Muji mashed together).
