Besides missing the actual testing (!), the staged rollout (!), looks like they also weren't fuzzing this kernel driver that routinely takes instant worldwide updates. Oops.

Not really, that thread showed only superficial knowledge and analysis, far from hitting the nail on the head, for anyone used to assembly/reverse engineering. Then goes on to make provably wrong assumptions and comments. There is actu

Looks nice! I've used Anvil [0] quite often in the past years for what seems to be a similar purpose (not affiliated, just a happy customer). Does someone know how Reflex compares? [0] https://anvil.works/

There are multiple types of SEPA payments, I think you're talking about SEPA Credit Transfer (essentially making the bank transfer yourself). On the other hand, for SEPA Direct Debit, not only is the interface quite reasonable (you ent

I can't edit my own post anymore, but I've looked into it more. Total average production should not be an issue, at least in Europe. However peak power could be and will require some care. See https://news.ycombinator.c

Interesting links and info from the UK national grid. I've done some more research on the topic, and spoken with people who are closer to the topic. tl;dr: average capacity is not going to be an issue, however peak power could very wel

From your first link, isn't a lot of that difference between 30 GW peak and 20 GW at night due to solar? It seems to provide about 9 GW during the day, that removes most of your estimated 70 GWh of extra overnight capacity (unless I&#x

Does Telegram have E2EE for group discussions yet or is it still only for 1:1 ? Honest question, I haven't checked recently.

If it can give you a comparison point, France wants to be able to do 700k tests per week in less than 2 weeks time to have test and trace capability and start lifting the lockdown. That comes out to approximately 150 tests a day per 100k. T

Yes, and about 4-5x the death per population of their Nordic neighbours, which may be a more relevant comparison while the epidemic is growing.
