According to the article, that isn't the main problem that people have: "Overall, 23 million people said that using cash made them feel more in control of their finances. Two-thirds were concerned about fraud when making payments

The reason I turn to piracy isn't that I don't want to pay, it's that there's no legal option for the manga I want to read. Do you see a realistic path to a world where scanlations are unnecessary because any manga I wou

You make it sound like either/or but Vanced was never just about getting rid of ads. I pay for YouTube Premium but Vanced was still appealing because it removes other things I don't want, like posts in my home feed, Shorts, YouTub

"Almost no features" is a bit extreme. The paid version adds [0] encrypted file sending, more 2FA methods, a TOTP generator, password health and emergency access but the core password manager functionality is there in the free ver

The Access and Assistance Bill doesn't prevent anybody from offering end to end encryption. The media coverage was very "sky is falling" but the reality is that it only requires you decrypt content to which you already hold

Honest question: unless you're American, what kind of emergency could require a large volume of cash in less than a week? In the US it makes sense for medical bills or a broken car or something but in a country with sane healthcare and

A joule is just a Watt-second so a kilowatt-hour is already just a convenient number of joules.

I'm not talking about the law of one price here, just the fact that the global currency exchange trade is decentralised. There's no one exchange that aggregates everything and can give you a single authoritative price. In other as

Overall your product looks good but aside from a more detailed page, I really think the wording here needs to be changed. It's verifiably false that you use the same rate shown on Google so you should remove that entirely. If I can&#x2

Im assuming you're talking about "the live rate", since the Google claim is verified to be false. I'd agree with you if it were unavoidable but I don't think that's the case here. There's no need to make a

"We always convert your money at the live rate: the rate on Google." But this is a lie - I checked. At time of writing, you claim 100k GBP is equal to 131390 USD, while Google claims it's 131620 USD, a difference of nearly $3

2FA is "something you have" + "something you know". A password manager vault can be "something you have" and the password to the vault can be "something you know".

You're assuming that Meta developed the Time Card [0] because GNSS or NTP aren't accurate enough. That's not the case, Meta tells us exactly why they developed it, in the "Why do we need a new time device" section o

Hundreds of milliseconds? A receiver like [0] is specced for single-digit nanoseconds. Even the standard-precision modules [1] are double-digit. My understanding is that GPS wouldn't function if the timing was inaccurate to several hun

Careful with case. 1GB = 1 Gigabyte. 1Gb = 1 Gigabit. Init7, the subject of this thread, supplies 25Gb/s, not 25GB/s. And why are batteries being brought into the discussion? This is a fibre service, it only operates in fixed inst

I'm waiting for mine to be installed. Does anyone have thoughts on appropriate hardware/software? At the moment I'm just running a Linux machine as my router, using standard nftables for NAT and firewall, but I'm curious

It's not just the city of Zürich, Adliswil has it too, at the very least. I believe Init7 leases fibre from Swisscom in other locations. My understanding is that federal law requires Swisscom to give access to its infrastructure to oth

You might not realize it but there really are people who honestly, genuinely, in their heart-of-hearts think this way and if you want to have a chance at inducing real change in the world, you need to acknowledge that they exist and see thi

Ah, I see. It looks like this is actually relatively simple but hidden away in code you'd never see until you start using Unikraft. This is something that strikes me as an obvious question about a unikernel so I'd like to see a bi

To be fair, I don't think this is little-known. When a write must be acknowledged by multiple devices (as is the case with RAID1 or RAIDZ), a write requires more IOPS.

You can say this about literally any storage system. Unrecoverable failures can always happen, that's why you keep backups. ZFS redundancy features aren't there to eliminate the need for backups, they're there to reduce the c

How does one store data with Unikraft? This is the problem I hit with other unikernel projects. OSv seemed to support ZFS or NFS somehow but I couldn't quite figure out the documentation. I can't find any references to storage at

Not unless the client is open-source. I can trust encryption to some degree but after Apple's CSAM stuff, no way am I letting them do what they please.
