Well, it would be personal data about me that they store on their servers. So I could, at any point, send a GDPR request and force them to send me any data they have stored about me. Or tell them to delete it. Or sue them for having it in t

On 2006-12-26 there was an underwater earthquake in Taiwan that cut off all sea cables between East Asia and Europe. I was in China at the time. All internet traffic was going the other way around the globe and was extremely slow or most of

Plus, I like to start with the topic the commit was about, so its easy to scan for a part of the codebase. E.g. user/login: Add link on home screen auth: Refactor into separate classes

> they won’t be competitive for their wealthier customers Sure they will. You don't charge too much so that the customer will start feeling that its worth their time to look for alternative offers. That upper limit it usually higher

This will be very useful when traveling as a digital nomad (again). Instead of being limited to a small laptop screen, just use as many screens as needed, with no extra luggage.

That's actually how Amazon promotes "Alexa as Xmas gift" here in my city (Germany). For people who don't want anything but you still feel you need to buy them something. I think we (as a society) urgently need to adjust

As far as I understood, if somebody else scanned the same token, they would just login with their own account (if they have one). Whoever logged in first would invalidate the hexhexhex token and the second person would need to start another

I like the idea to solve this on the software side. Be it by peer reviews or by some sort of social network, similar to GitHub, but for security reviews of software. Then you could decide to only install libraries that have a certain number
