Make strict rules for all of them. As another commenter pointed out, the wifi-connected clothes dryer could be used in an attack to take down the power grid by having many of them switch on at the same time - causing a network overload. Don

Where were you? That's definitely not the norm in Europe.

Dockerizing (what the author said he would do) is almost always worth it though.

I have seen none of that, and I live in one of the largest European cities. Andreii, why are you spreading misinformation?

I think it's well within the rights of the EU to legislate in which way the data of its citizens is processed. If your product or service is accessible to EU citizens, in the EU market, then you need to abide by the laws of the EU. It&

The EU does not claim that it applies outside of Europe, just that the law applies to all your customers/visitors that are within the EU.

I believe that, despite their claims, this fingerprinting technique actually DOES violate the GDPR.

It depends on who you ask. The "World Factbook" puts Serbia in South-Eastern Europe [1], the Serbian Wikipedia page [2] puts it in South-Eastern or Eastern Europe. Myself, I would consider it part of the Balkans, with Southern Eur

This take on "building blocks of modern computing" is fairly opinionated though. They mention "NGINX, SQLite, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Linux kernel, etc." - of which I'd only consider NGINX and the Linux kernel (and Redis

I really dislike the whole cynical "all politicians are thieves" vibe going on in here. Yes, this politician was probably for sale, she took money from dubious sources, AND SHE WAS ARRESTED. I think that's fantastic, because

I'm sorry your version didn't get any votes or comments. Best time to post on HN is around (say) 15:00 CET, so that Europeans will see it in the afternoon and Americans can see it with their morning coffee.

And assuming wealth and poverty do NOT correlate with test scores and professional success is equally problematic.

For what it's worth I always look at GitHub profiles if they are provided in the CV. I will disregard everything in your CV and won't even look at your cover letter if you provide a GitHub profile. The proof of the pudding is in

Am I correct in understanding that you concluded that poverty is primarily a mindset issue?

It's remarkable, this sense of entitlement people have. You literally have a computer program here that can make photorealistic imagery of almost ANYTHING you ask it to, which was impossible even half a year ago, and here you are compl

How do I know where this money goes? How can I verify this is "official"? A better way would be to go to https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors and click either the "Become a sponsor" or the "Go to Patre

One of the constant refrains in the Anglo-Saxon world is to describe Europe and the EU as permanently on the verge of collapse. It has not occurred so far, and it will not occur this time either.

Counter opinion: no one who grew up in a country with the metric system would know how to understand "I weigh 14 stones". What stones? Small ones? Big ones? Who decides if it's a big one or a small one? Also, how would I know

You can host .mbtiles files with PHP very easily. I wrote a tiny piece of code 9 years ago that I used for a high traffic map server and it worked just fine. https://github.com/infostreams/mbtiles-php I'm sure the

This is such a weird claim that doesn't stack up at all with my experience. Unusable at 80% of the comfortable angles? Come on now.

I'm not sure why you're being downvoted, because that's exactly what they're doing. Do people really think Google just gives away things for free because they're being nice?
