Wasn't the problem here that the insurance company didn't know these facts as opposed to she knowing them? While it sounds like insider trading, the situation here is quite a bit different. With insider trading, the company has ve

Makes sense. Actually it could very much work without the active participation of the web sites, at least for cross-site tracking. Because we can collect and identify and categorize those cookies. And now that we're talking about it, F

Would that mean a complete ban? I don't think that would be great. There is a lot of value in collecting statistics for the sake of analyzing user behavior. I also see the value in targeted ads and I'd say that it would probably b

They most of the time shouldn't be "we're using cookies (and we've planted all of them without your consent, oops)" anyway, but consent managers. But yeah, this could be handled in a more user friendly way, if there

This is indeed a very positive and smart move. Despite the fact that - a lot of sites just don't really play along (they'll just show you a nag popup that you have to OK, but they'll plant their tracking cookies before that

Nope. Non profit doesn't mean they do it for free. It means that the goal of the organization is not making profit. They'll still pay their employees and they'll still charge for their service (even if they'll call it a

It's indeed better than that: storage costs decrease over time (probably at an exponential rate), which means that, in theory, you can pay upfront to have your data stored until the end of time (or our civilization). Well, at least if

Age is a pretty strong confounder here, for more than one reason.

It doesn't have to be governments. 3rd parties can build these systems either by themselves or paid for by governments and several governments can use/buy the same system. Also, these (some of these) can hopefully be open source a

It's yet another attempt to step back to two-tier. (It's the usual thesis-antithesis cycle. First, we had that, then we figured out it doesn't work so we turned towards three-tier then we saw that was pretty tedious so we sta

Not completely, but it's pretty unlikely it helps. First of all, no one will probably sneeze (or actually cough, because that's the frequent symptom) in your face directly. If it's not 'in your face', just pretty cl

You are right, they were infected a few days before (I think 6.6 on average). But still, the growth was 10x in ten days as you can see on the graphs. It's just that the measurements are always a few days behind the real numbers. In oth

Last week a FB friend discusses with his connections the winning investment strategy wrt the virus. They agreed that BTC (besides gold) is a safe heaven. It was @ $8k back then (now it's $5k).

I wouldn't call it a psychosis, because in this case people are right. If you look at the numbers [1] it went 10x in 10 days in Italy. Despite the counter measures. Now it's only 7.3k if the efficiency of the counter measures don&

You could maybe catch file open and read operations and return your CA cert if/when the proxied app tries to read the cert files.

The problem is that 'coin' is not a useful analogy and it makes things hard to understand. Coins don't exist. Only balances do. What you have is a balance (the number of 'coins'), but coins don't have an identi

It's not. It's serious and sad. I remember a news article from a few months ago that exactly mentioned (and made fun) of this paper.

I may have been sloppy to use the cloud infrastructure expression. It can mean different things to different people. Sure thing, you want to use at least VPS-s, from the very beginning. Maybe even blob storage as/if needed. But probabl

Yeah, you probably don't. And not only that, but it probably makes your life harder. I've interviewed for a tech lead position at a company working with freelancers and I'm pretty sure the reason they ended up rejecting me wa

Yes, you probably missed a few lessons in high school. When I went there, I was taught that separation of powers is an important element, amongst others. This clearly does not apply to Hungary anymore, as the highest juridical power is an i

Well, only if you want to explain away the fact that the Estonians should have won the tender based on the official scoring and criteria. In other words, you are rationalizing. There's a reason why tenders always have a fixed scoring

You got me wrong. The ones I mention aren't terrible in general. Indeed, I went into the details exactly to prove that they don't have to be run by a bunch of unprofessional idiots to make freelancers waste their time. Yes, moonli

I don't think time alone solves it. It's a market issue. Basically, there are more freelancers (even good ones) than demand for them. This is the case with every similar platform that I've seen or registered to in the past. F

Interesting point. Don't forget that this is 40-50 year old Soviet technology :). And cars are actually in pretty bad shape, well over their planned lifetime of 30 years (AFAIK). Full of rust, sometimes catch fire. The drive system is

I'm not aware of any actual mafia. They were almost certainly metaphorical and they must have been just bashing the local government. Because what they do is really a shame. One of the lines is de facto in a life threatening condition.

Yep, Hungarian story. And indeed the law in this case is not that bad at all. It doesn't penalize what the guy did. The sad part is of course the corporate & governmental reaction, the frightening part is that the police was so eag
