This is really cool. Can you talk about some interesting challenges/problems you encountered?

There is no way these are organic users. Could it be, that some VPN is using Germany as an entrypoint?

I'm also a Postbox user and quite happy so far but I don't know if I would recommend it. Development seems to have stopped and Thunderbird is making good progress on the redesign.

For the same reason normal paintings have value. You could just by a high-quality print indistinguishable from the original.

Yes, but most bots don't. There are also some more elaborate methods. Giving the input a tabindex="-1", aria-hidden="true" and then moving it left: -100vh works pretty well.

This is in line with my experience as well. For most sites, CAPTCHAs are overkill and an accessibility problem. Hidden honeypot, maybe a simple “How much is 5 + 2” keeps 99% of spam out. I had a few more difficult cases, which were solved b

Frankly, it can only improve the quality, so I'm all for it.

Why are these automakers pushing to adopt Teslas solution, which isn't standardized or open, instead of creating a new CCS3? I can't imagine NACS to ever be adopted in the EU, so why the additional complexity?

Is this comparable from a legal point of view, though? Those FedEx drivers were hired as contractors, while Amazon had a company as an intermediary.

Are there any legislative pushes to create a legal framework for the web, or are all countries just letting the courts decide what goes? There are so many edge-cases, free-speech and moral implications that shouldn't be left for the co

I understand the feeling of not wanting to pay continuously for something feature complete. But, as long as the monthly cost for those tools is less, than the hourly-rate it would take to do it yourself, does it really matter? You are still

Creating “value” for shareholders, “value” for your clients… I started to really dislike the use of value without a descriptor. It often feels like it implies the work of nurses, teachers, first-responders isn't as valuable as the work

It feels like we have gone full circle. From hidden text on web pages to get to the first page on Google, to tricking AI to get to the first page of someone's screen.

Because incompetance is often more probable than malice. Without knowing baselines, like how often these procedures were broken in general, these don't mean much. What if this happened literally every day?

You made uncorrect claims, I corrected them and now, you are changing the argument. I actually don't have a problem with nuclear power in general.

Germany isn't all Europe. Also, at it's highest nuclear was 22.4 GW, at its lowest coal was 37,9 GW. So, your second point, about being 100% coal-free if nuclear had been kept, is also not correct. [1] https://www.clean

I'm not going to argue against some benefits' crypto can have. Especially with the under banked. But it had over a decade to improve society and so far the main use case is: Trick people with tech-bro talk and then scam them.
