So wait, let me get this straight: - a guy with access to highest level state secrets discloses them to his family members and possibly journalists. - he is shocked they investigated, surveiled and prosecuted him for this because of why? Be

A little perhaps, but not much. One can replace a bank of physical fax machines with modems. It would be an interesting job for sure. Why wasn't it done before? I can imagine only two reasons. One, there isn't that much data to mo

Whenever I hear about such a thing (people doing legacy system data extraction manually) I wonder if in every case someone got the estimate for the "proper" solution and just decided a bunch of people typing is cheaper? Integratin

Sadly, stupid politicians are a problem in every democracy. The only way to resolve it is to incentivise more intelligent/knowledgeable people to go into politics, but how? The best motivation for going into politics is probably patrio

What epistemic trust? Perhaps in the west where it wasn't 100% obvious everything media says is a lie. In the countries of the ex-Soviet block everyone is very aware of the propaganda back then and now. (propaganda is not just lies - e

I sure hope this carrot thrown down to the masses is not going to slow down open models development. When the deal looks too good to be true. You're not a customer. You're a product/a resource to mine. In case of (not-at-all)

Depends what do you consider "most important". For me the most important is the kernel, the xorg, the WM, the infrastructure so to speak. And then if I run an app image on top with let's say Freecad, I don't mind. I&#x27

Because in Germany all big media puts forward a single narrative. For example in countries like the USA, Poland, the UK and many more you have huge media empires that are against the current government and others for it (depending on who is

Is it going to be as open as the (not-at-all)OpenAI?

I really don't care about sponsor block (I mean I don't mind these parts of the videos), but adblock on YouTube is absolutely essential. And these apps usually when they have adblocl this includes sponsor block.

Don't forget about android TV :-) There is SmartTubeNext with ad/sponsor block and most importantly it let's you remove shorts, news, games, music, transmissions. And it is open source.

Haha, very funny. I thought its obvious you don't invest if its bullshit. Also the whole point of using disposable income is that even if it tanks you stay "solvent". And no, look through my decade long comment history and yo

Very funny, did you loose BTW? Every "investment" is a gamble of sorts. And how can it be gambling and a ponzi scheme at the same time? Also I did put investment in quotes. I don't consider it an investment like stocks of a w

For example the one I bought 6 years ago. A VW golf 4x4 2.0 TDI 2005 with 180k km on the clock. I paid 16k pln, which was then about 3.5k EUR. Before you say, this was 6 years ago, I can tell you I just went to a popular used car sales site

Exactly. I'm not sure how it is in others regions, but here in Central Europe Netflix has lots of good Korean and Japanese TV dramas. It is funny how some of them have a great first season, then they get lots of money following their s

EVs will be "the future" when I can buy one with 180km km on the clock for ~3kEUR that I'll be able to use as a normal car I can expect to make a 350km motorway round trip driving at 140kmh without having to charge more than

Isn't pornhub free, their only monetization being ads? Also does Pornhub have personal recommendations, per country and region libraries, an android, ios and android TV apps? Probably not. That is a much easier business model and a lot
