Comparing a QR-Code (which the EU covid pass is) with a facial recognition database, calling people sheep and thinking that's a gotcha argument makes you sound disingenuous at best and stupid at worst. For the future: Try also remindin

There is a lot of interest in the private sector to build renewables, which has often been hampered by regulation. This reduces those regulations significantly. Why do you think nothing will happen then? Sure, it's a little late and no

Yes, the criticisms are generally valid. However, if the only proposed alternatives are Matrix, XMPP, Briar and Jitsi then Signal is still the best messenger. Of course those alternatives are great but for 99% of the people they are way too

Although the author sounds a bit "boomer-ish" and "get off my lawn" in his blog post, I do agree with him in essence. Especially his quip about websites being just JavaScript which generates the HTML. I have an old MacBo

Is this really the case? I would have assumed that planning/zoning/permits/slow bureaucracy is more to blame than the actual building phase.

Fascinating article, thank you. What it also says, is that he may be emotional, but he isn't a madman. So wouldn't the question then be: How likely does Putin think a nuke on Ukraine would trigger a NATO response. Since he must kn

I think it makes more sense to break this question down into a few specific ones: 1. How likely is it that Putin will want to use nuclear weapons? - I don't think he is that mad, but who knows? If the pressure inside Russia starts to r

This is a fun little game. I find the small movements confusing, though. Maybe a fixed camera (isometric?) would work nice.

If I remember correctly, one reason for the quick adaption of SSL certificates was the combination of Let's Encrypt and Google saying it would improve ranking. Why doesn't Google just do the same for IPv6? With all the benefits of

I agree with some commenters that this article has some very 'woke' conclusions which might over interpret what the children actually thought or did. Nonetheless, I find it very concerning that multiple commenters here think, that

Maybe someone who works with turbines can clear this up for me, but are these some cheap or old turbines? I have nether heard a turbine that loud in my life. I found the value of 105 db at the source for a modern turbine, which would mean a

Yeah, to the user who requested it. Also, it's just the user's post, not the user's tracking/advertisement data. So the only thing the US government could get, are the public facing posts/images which the user poste

One option would be to serve this data directly from the European server. However, it's not the public profile data which most people object to be shared, it's the tracking/user-profile data which FB collects in the backgroun

I don't think they are intentional misleading. It's just that most people don't read correctly stated logical statements often and might interpret more meaning into the sentence than was intended.

Every time I come across this or similar examples, the phrasing always tricks one into thinking "A therefore B" and "B therefore A". As soon as it's clear that is not the case, the problems become relatively easy. I

I've come across three people regarding NFTs. People who trade them and don't care whether it's bullshit or not, and hope they will come out ahead in the end. People who are very hyped about them but don't know anything

That's sadly true. Not Just Bikes and their String Towns initiative is really eye-opening. A bit off-topic but I do wonder if covid and the current state of the economy will accelerate the debt crisis of small cities ( https:/&#x

My hope is that public transport and bike infrastructure will catch up by that point. However, this might help in Europe, but I could see a real problem with the market vanishing in the U.S.
