What if a piece of software isn't packaged, like for example the ARM GCC toolchain. In a Dockerfile I just need to curl and unpack it. How do I solve that with guix?

Does the data support the "general rule" then? I think 65 year olds today are much more able than 65 year olds 50 years ago.

Please read the article. His produces 200x intermediary values. Clickbait title, since it wasn't a leak.

You can have different standards for different use cases. So you mean that iMessage and rcs are so different that Android can't use iMessage or apple couldn't use rcs? We don't need to find one standard to rule them all. But

The reason gsm, 3g, 4g, sms and so on succeeded was because everyone could implement them. I guess you had to pay license or patent fees, but they are not walled gardens. Phones from different manufacturers and/or different operators c

The SEK used to be locked. That lead to another kind of crisis in the nineties. You are right that we should've adopted the euro though.

Tax, if your country has capital gain tax you need to declare every single trade to real USD. When you are trading between crypto pairs you are not realizing any gain, thus you don't need to declare it. Until you eventually sell of cou

I'm also a proponent of nuclear, but modern nuclear power plants seem to take 15-20 years to construct and typically go 10s of billions of EUR over budget. So one does not simply "build a reactor".. look at Olkiluoto 3 in Fin

This is only half the story. What is actually happening is that Sweden is importing expensive electricity from the baltics and exporting it to Germany. So even though the electricity is only in "transit" through Sweden, the prices

I would never own a car. But I suppose I don't want to drive a car that is older than 3 years and I don't enjoy selling used cars. I prefer the freedom I get to just hand the car back after 3 years and don't have to think abo

You can also argue that it is impossible to update dynamic libraries because they are used by multiple applications and you can't afford that any application breaks. So instead of being able to patch that one application where the se

That is all public data. You can get that through open channels like birthday.se as well. I've been at BankID and I know for a fact exactly what information they store. They store only what is necessary from a regulatory standpoint.

I guess I only shop with stores that use Kivra. BankID doesn't store any information, and I have no problem that the stores I'm a member in store my shipping history. I think you are overstating the scale of the surveillance. I do

In Sweden we have a company running the ID system and that works fine. The company is coowned by all the large banks afaik. I was really surprised at how far behind Switzerland is compared to Scandinavia when it comes to digitalisation. Bei
