2% may be a lot, especially in absolute numbers. But it costs money and effort to decrease that. Money and effort that cannot be spend elsewhere. I'm quite certain that efforts such as "taxing kerosine on international flights&qu

That's misleading. Those aren't immigrants in recent era's. Which is what you imply. Turkish, Morrocan and Surinam immigrated to NL in the '70s and '80s. That's 40 years ago, almost two generations. Many of the

Sorry, but this is misleading at best, and an outright lie at worst. The majority of immigrants is from the EU, directly followed by European descend (Ukraine). There are those from "western countries" like the US, Canada, Austral

Is it "the media" though? In the Netherlands, "the Media" and "far right" are often direct opposites, at least, that's how the far right wants it to look. Data shows that "far right" gets more me

They are not. Edit: the net-total that the entire "problem issues" are about, is some thousands of people. On a population of 17 mln thats "nothing". It's an entirely fabricated and inflated "issue", that

It has happened. E.g. the WannaCry attack back in 2017, moved markets severely. Short and most bounced back, but attacks do cause panic. The good(?) news is that e.g. WannaCry took out large, "boring" companies, like Maersk, or MS

I'm not sure -honestly- if this is sarcasm or truly how you feel it is.

I'm Dutch and my liberal and even anarchist background makes me angry about these trends. But this is what Dutch people want. Increased and more heavy handed Police enforcement, less oversight, and broader duties is exactly what voters

> 1/4th of global population producing 2% of emissions for cooking seems entirely reasonable use of our global emission budget. Absolutely zero wrong there. Exactly my point. And while it may be good to strive to even reduce that, c

I deliberately cut that from the sentence to focus on the carbon emission part. Which is neglegible. I think the part that improves health and reduces death, is extremely valuable. But important like vaccinations, sewers and food programs a

I'd find that a bit counterintuitive. To me, --release is an alternative for --debug. Debug implies debug stuff is in there, therefore the alternative removes it. But I do find it useful now and then to have debug symbols in production

Is it bad if it's an accusation? Wouldn't it need additional data, such as actual proof, to become an allegation or even a claim or charge?

I do see a difference. GitHub actions isn't going to run your Python code on its orchestration infra. Nor is DigitalOcean or Fly.io or CircleCI. They all convened around "YAML" because it's a very limited set of instruct

Yes. Except you then have to sensor that programming language severely. Maybe you can accept some endless loop, but you probably don't want the CI orchestrator to start mining Monero, instead of bootstrapping and configging servers and

Hashing is hardly ever done client side. Most often server side, which is fine, because it's not the same as "storing plain text". In fact, if you rely on client side hashing, you are not only making the app a lot less access

Exactly. We are building a platform that helps founders generate a sales strategy in the EU. We're half a year in and almost tackled "how to write good emails to Dutch prospects". Next up is Flemish, which has the same langua

So should a government (e.g. the police) produce its own cars, rather then buy them? Or set up a factory to make laptops? I'm not trying to be pedantic. I'm trying to understand where the line lies (and whether that line is univer

As a startup, my reason for using "cloud" (PaaS) is not to catch spikes, but because of focus. Every hour that I spend running around with HDDs, screwdrivers (or the cloud version thereof - storage, ansible, etc) is an hour that I

We have been "making" nuclear waste that will "last" for eons, though. Hopefully the constructions (both technical and social) where we store it, in the hope of a future generation that can rid of it, will last centuries

Why English doesn't just call them "under-sea-boat" or "underwater-boat" has been a mistery to me for a long time. (as a Dutch, we call 'em Onderzeeboot or Onderzeeër - underseaboat, undersea-er). It's so
