The EU can comply with its own regulations, it’s just that EU citizens (sometimes) can force it into compliance if it does not. That’s a nice feature.

So your point is that even with a IFR of less than 2.6% bodies had to be stored in freeze trucks? Ugh.

I really like this one because it’s a valid question about an odd thing that would take a while to answer properly: > I have a huge text on my sat nav in my car where, among other things, your email address can be seen? > Can you tell

If you don‘t seriously talk about politics but consider it sports and entertainment and about “winning”, you get Dr. Oz and RFKjr to decide about your health and Matt Gaetz overseeing justice. Politics is everywhere and it has to be everywh

That’s an interesting point to add to the feature list of a future product: “Proof” of deletion that is plausible to laypeople. Of course one has to delete according to the law, too, but that plausible proof may get rid of a lot of suppor

Interestingly the only people who are not supposed to “push a political agenda” are usually accused of being “woke” in one of the next sentences. “Keeping politics out” brought the US - and the world - Trump, two times. Most things in lif

What is the average life expectancy in India compared to the US?

> What are you doing that actually benefits from gluing the screen to your face? For a start you get multiple very large virtual screens that are a lot bigger than the screen in a notebook. This to me is an interesting use case.

Your one man company definitely is not safe, you’ll be responsible for all damages done by the full stack you’re providing. Each library / OS / whatever software is part of your product. Yes, this is bad.

Even when I‘m logged out I expect at least information on my geographical location to seep into the archive via URLs addressing specific CDN endpoints or similar mechanisms.

I was about to post a link to the same URL but archived using singleFile, which looks like the original at amazon. I didn‘t because I realized that I have absolutely no idea what additional information would be hidden in the file. In the wo

So even if your company has its own mailserver everyone is locked out of email if some Microsoft services are down, again. Brilliant.

That‘s what we got for privatization and many years of „conservative“ ministers of transport and public infrastructure. Just wait for the first bridge to fail with a train or a car on it and the calls for public-private partnerships… (Wri
