Are you not allowed to shoot someone in Germany if they fire a gun into the air and then point it at you? What about if someone is swinging a blunt object violently at your head? Is there just not such a thing as "self defense" in

I have seen stories of smart TVs doing active scans for any unsecured wifi network in range, then connecting and phoning home without ever informing the user or showing anything in the menus. Is that a real thing?

I think the horseshoe is almost coming back around to the point where people criticizing NFTs are bringing them up more often and in more annoyingly-out-of-context ways than the crypto people themselves...

The mind-blowing part of this is that the "mindshare" includes the perception that the apps have more predictable prices than yellow cabs... That was never why people switched in the first place, it was because of cheaper prices a

I think it's sort of a type of double standard where you say that "your side" is only acting out of fear/confusion/emotion/ignorance/etc but the "other side" has a long, complicated game plan tha

I think you can probably get the same "batching benefits" if you use a global ID generation service of some sort, with sequential IDs to improve indexing. Using sequential IDs doesn't necessitate using auto-generated sequen
