IIUC, the hackers minted new coins, they didn't transfer ownership of anything from its legitimate owner to themselves. So I'm curious to hear: do people consider this "stealing"? The article uses the word often and even

I think Australia and New Zealand are convincing counter-examples. It's not that lockdowns are ineffective, it's that half-arsed partial lockdowns ended before elimination are ineffective. Before I hear the standard "but it&#

A $5 VPS comes with several gigabytes of storage. A standard web font (e.g. Roboto) is ~1MB. Bandwidth is essentially free through CloudFlare. Who doesn't have the space or money to self-host their fonts?

WireGuard on its own doesn't do that. WireGuard only sets up tunnels between peers. If you want something like you describe, you need another product that integrates WireGuard. It's a bit boring but in a situation like yours the m

Switzerland has a high rate of gun possession because it has mandatory military service and people take their weapons home with them. And though many households may have a gun, they don't have ammunition. In the event they need to use

I think the idea of this thing is that it doesn't degrade over time the way something like paper or a more reactive metal will. It can be scratched but that's easily prevented: put it in a plastic sleeve.

This isn't quite accurate: - You can only stay 3 months to look for a job. You can stay indefinitely without a job if you can prove you have the means to support yourself. - You can stay in Switzerland indefinitely with a job, you ju

It's very clear in the interview that knowledge of chess isn't being tested. The chess-related exchange is literally about 30s and it's clearly part of the segment where the problem is explained, not the part where the candid

Again, that's not necessarily how that's intended. The observation on its own is just an observation, it doesn't indicate anything about how interview performance was evaluated. For example when I interview, I have a questio

I think you're unfairly assuming something about how the question was used. If the intent was to find out if people __knew__ how GPS worked when they didn't need it for the position, sure. However I see two other possibilities: -

I don't see a realistic argument here. For consoles, there are 3 healthy companies that match your description (Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo) so the vertical integration and exclusives don't seem to be supressing competition. I'

Maybe you simply intended your comment as hyperbole but if not: - It's not a 1% tax worldwide. For example most of Europe uses debit cards instead of credit and the fees are regulated to be much lower than 1%. This also demonstrates th
