Remember that Trump also had a term before Biden where he undermined cross-atlantic relations. Under Obama you had the reputational fallout from the Snowden leaks. Before Obama you had Bush Jr's wars, with especially the Iraq war being

Raising a kid takes a village. It is not like parents are the only influential figures in a kid's upbringing, they are not the only role models, they should not be the only ones paying attention and guiding kids to adulthood. Parental

Personally replaced Windows 10 with Linux Mint on my very computer illiterate mother in law's laptop a few months back. Haven't heard any complaints so far. Linux is ready for prime time for anyone not bound to Windows/MacOS

Im not a legal scholar in any way, but perhaps a solution would be a fully independent Microsoft EU that licenses Microsoft US tech for deployment/use within Europe?

An optimistic take would be that this forces European companies to think through their analytics/ad needs again, perhaps resulting in less invasive solutions and thus fewer popups/banners and improved privacy. At least that is wha

As far as I can tell this ruling means that transfering PII to any company/service controlled by an American company is illegal per the GDPR. I work for a European company that is already being impacted by this ruling. Our first step i

It seems like you've done the research here: how do you know how you are supposed(?) to do the test in the US? Here in my municipality in Norway the media keeps repeating how/where/when to get tested, and if anything importan

I think for most/many European companies, especially those that are potentially handling PII, there are regulatory concerns with using US based hosting/companies. My employer for instance has put a ban on deploying anything new on

I must say the Framework laptop is a very enticing offering! Do you plan on offering it in Scandinavia with Scandinavian keyboard layouts?

I agree with you that Office 365, AWS and Github are great products. Hard, if not impossible, to catch up as a competitior, especially when you have trillion dollar companies backing them. However, if you cannot trust those products then yo

At this point it is kinda an open question whether using AWS/Azure/GCP for anything involving PII is even fully legal under EU/EFTA law. I know at least my employer is working towards having more options to jump ship at a mom

I guess their goal isn't necessarily to make a world leader but rather to ensure they're not left behind if the geopolitical climate keeps worsening.

I dont' think the difference between EU and US taxes on revenue are all that different. If you compare Panama, or other tax havens where multinational companies like to stash their revenue, to the EU then you probably have a point.

The main boon of Redux et al in my experience is that they impose some rules as to where and how state changers are handled, meaning less weird inconsistencies when working in a team (especielly if the team members change over time).

TL;DR We had it under control, but we are losing control. So we need to take action now (limit importation of new cases and new local spread) before a new lockdown is needed. Hence the holiday (from social distancing measures) is over. The

I believe Norway has similar rules, i.e you should be able to travel here from anywhere as long as you have some kind of residency. As far as tourism is concerned, the government has divided European countries into two groups: traveling fro

I thought the police were largely required to wear body cams plus have dash cams in the US. If that is true then there is no need to share the footage, since law enforcement should already be in possession of recordings of an incident.

We decided on the useReducer-hook instead of using a proper state library. We did this since the thing we are currently building is essentially just a set of forms with a lot of client-side and server-side validations. Of course, if we were

SVGs are human readable and human writable. I used SVG as a templating/markup language for years. We were writing software for a specialized, embedded, browser that only understood JS and SVG. It only took a few days of acclimatization

Would it be possible for you to share your templates? I'm very interested in ways to improve my meeting notes, and it sounds like you've already done a fair bit of testing on your templates.
