Depends. China's obsession with Taiwan is a mix of domestic signaling and posturing internationally and the latter is mostly aimed at the US. China could choose to be more aggressive over Taiwan, as the US should care less. But, since

Since you mention r-transactions (which is specific to SEPA): the SEPA rulebooks are surprisingly easy to read (e.g. for SCT[1]). For the US, NACHA maybe publishes similar specs? Neither are Swift though, for that perhaps https:/&#x2F

Note that the situation will not be much better for closed sourced projects. Sure, your vendor will probably fix bugs, but it may take some time until they find someone who has any knowledge of that codebase and survived last week's re

What does "I've lost faith in the nonprofit business model" mean? Non-profits have costs they pay. Many famously outlive their founders. Many, like co-ops or credit unions, don't depend on donations/endowments. The

The DPA has powers of subpoena. They can basically raid the place. Usually, companies don't want this to happen and they co-operate. How exactly did the DPA know that Uber processes all data in their central IT department in the US? Ub

CRUD boils down to, Write (for the first time), Read, Write (not the first time) and Write (overwrite the thing or the pointer to it with zeroes or something). So, really, all computing boils down to a Turing machine. No need to learn any o

It also has a more complicated (chronograph) brother, the LIW-M610. It's fun to see the hands in the subdials spin around as you change functions and timezones.

After a decade or two of not wearing watches, and always looking at my laptop or phone for the time, analogue stopped making sense to me. I recently got a gorgeous casio lineage radio controlled (and solar powered) analogue watch, so I had

This is why your project shouldn't be too small. If a project is projected to be finished in 6 months, the current manager will still be there, and the success or failure will reflect on their record. It can only go wrong and reflect b

Double walled glasses exist, they are used for tea or frothy coffee. The glass is very thin though; the trade-off being that if it was regular thickness it would be very heavy and big relative to the contents - and your hands. This makes th

Do those sites need to be indexed, though? Web applications? Games? What is lost if a newspaper's animated pie charts are not indexed for search? I see more assertions in this thread that some websites need javascript, but does the jav

I don't agree that airgapping is security through obscurity; it's defense in depth, just like putting up a fence around your datacenter. It doesn't solve your insider risk (or 12 foot ladder risk), but it is an additional mea
