God damn debating with you people is useless sometimes. My second paragraph is meant to show a possible other explanation why the Chinese didn't want foreigners snooping around their bio labs: in my belief the same evasiveness the Chin

But Serbia's system seems flawed, the EU system has all the data encoded in the QR-code, including name, the date the test was performed, the sort of test (PCR or antigen), and the result, plus a digital signature to prevent changing o

He's turning to the Donald Trump of the tennis world. No matter how cunty his behavior is, he'll have his supporters (god bless nationalism, one of the more obnoxious forms of tribalism). And now with the whole shitstorm he'l

I guess it'll be a "Facebook censorship API". Beyonce wants an image to disappear? If it's not on FB, IG, WhatsApp, Pinterest, it's pretty good. Prince Andrew doesn't want a pic of him with his hands around a m

Well, there were stories of unburned bodies found floating in the rivers, there are many who couldn't afford the cremation. There's the official rule (registration needed) and the reality on the ground: insufficient government ser

I heard a former US Army guy saying in a podcast, even at home he's always dressed to be ready to walk out the door at any second, because it's a habit he developed in the Army. Which makes sense, the enemy doesn't wait for y

For a short while in the 90's there was a software called uTok, it acted as a HTTP proxy for your browsers and modified the HTML of websites to add the users' comments. Yeah this was when not many cared about HTTPS. I remember peo
