Your ISP will route your packets and not obfuscate the original destination nor cache any content, provide Ddos protections, WAF,... Cloudflare does.

I hope that train rides get more and more popular and especially cheaper. At the moment I am looking at a 10 hour car-trip to the mountains in Switzerland. The train trip would be the same. The only sad part about it is that it would cost m

Once a month you embark on a 10 hour drive to spend a weekend skiing/boating and then returning with another 10 hour drive? So for 2 days of doing such activity you'll spent 20 hours in a car?

It also just doesn't make sense. Like, we train a human and that takes 20 years of food. To train an LLM it needed a collection of 800TiB of data (The Pile). To generate that pile, you needed millions to billions of humans. So did trai

Why not educate us oh wise one? Are you saying that two audio files each watermarked for a specific different user will not show a difference? Because then I am genuinely interested in how they achieved that feat

Most access blocking is through ISP DNS servers. Just set your DNS to an open one, no need for a VPN.

And I love that requirement. I do banking on my desktop and to confirm the transfers I get a push notification from a third-party application (ItsMe, so not a banking mobile app) with all the information I have entered. I can confirm the t

We have multiple separate environments per application. For environment specific inputs we use variables. The distinction is very clear in our team. Locals are used as const (like an application name), variables are for more dynamic user&#x

Same, locals are in my head like consts. You define it and it stays that way. A shortcut for a repeated value. Data resources are you requesting a dynamic value of your environment. Variables are dynamic values that a user can change.

In the Netherlands around 30% of people cycle to their work. [1] In Belgium around 32% cycle to their work. [2] I would think that is a significant amount no? I cycle to my work every day. It is around 9 KM and takes me around 20 minutes. F

People are sticking to Chrome and clones as they got an advertising budget that is higher than the whole Mozilla foundation cash flow and are installed as default browser on the OS. Combine that with aggressive approaches that try to persua

The current trend in Belgium is to build houses like cubes and drap a variation of white plaster on it [1]. While this looks great the first couple of years, the outside gets dirty and not a lot of people pay for it to get cleaned/repa

In Europe heat-pump-dryers are the normal way dryers work and the clothes coming out of them are also crisp and dry. Are you sure there is nothing defective with your dryer?

Gas-stoves are easier to scale that is mostly the reason why most restaurants still use them. 15 fires on full throttle is much easier to achieve than on induction purely of how our current electricity network has been built. But for a norm

Yes, this is called Small Beer or Table Beer in Belgium. It goes as low as 1% and was very normal in schools and at homes before clean water was a common thing. It still is a very popular beer to drink while you eat but children don't

This isn't a tiny change, if GCloud says "we quit in a year". That is a huge change. Applications using GCloud SDK for services suddenly need to be reworked and redrawn. That alone is a huge change for non-tech companies. Som

12 months notice is too short for big non-tech enterprises. They plan their infrastructure needs in 5-year terms. Changing to a new environment takes re-educating a lot of people, going through a lot of legal and audit meetings, finding eno

He actually talks about this in his book, democracy already existed before newspapers became big (or even existed). People got informed through books, pamphlets, essays, debates and public gatherings. Now, some articles do inform the people

HN is very slow in my eyes. The front page stays quite the same and the news is more targeted to technical people. Is there also gibberisch and pure marketing? Yes. But that will always be on an open-platform. Reddit was the same at the sta

While this is grotesque, I actually like it more than in my home country where the death of someone results in a pay-out of <20.000 Euro's. It is even know there is a table that judges can follow with ranges but the loss of a child

Google massively advertised Chrome at the start with banners on Gmail, Search,... telling you you should download it. Powerusers don't shift the market.
