Unless I'm mistaken Windows 10 still allows you to disable everything and doesn't play games with what you can and cannot block at software/host firewall level.

Yep, that seems pretty spot on. Not sure yet how I feel about allowing sandboxed user code in the kernel (my gut doesn't like the idea) but much smarter people than me seem to think it makes sense so I guess time will tell.

From what I've read, the PoP franchisee revenue is based on a 70/30 split of subscriber revenue generated by that PoP (with a guaranteed minimum monthly return). The idea is the PoP will serve 1000s of monthly customers and part o

My Huawei MateBook 13 2020 Ultra has 16GB and cost ~€1200 i.e. same ball park as the ones you listed (i7, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, GeForce MX250, 2736x1824 display). Apart from the RAM the main reason I went for it was the resolution (I liked t

If eBPF is new to you (it was to me), this article offers some useful context to help parse "eBPF brings to the Linux kernel what JavaScript brought to the browser" (which made me shudder at first): https://thenewstack

Not sure why this is being downvoted... Hiring people to fix things is a lot more reasonable (and a good idea!) than asking for free labour when you have $50 million in the bank.

You just raised $50 million....

1). is very subjective and I think depends quite heavily on what platform you are using it on. FF is my daily driver on Windows and I much prefer it over Chrome (which I also use frequently).

Honestly, this had even more impact on me than the social cooling site. Very nicely done.

According to the article, banks were indeed able to command higher premiums/margins on cash flows subverting Iranian sanctions.

Not sure I agree. It's an extremely effective peice of reporting that shows not only that AML enforcement, as it exists today, is fundamentally broken and easily subverted but also gives a good overview of the perverse incentives, bank

<shrug> Their site is so full of anti-patterns it's quite possible I accidentally signed up again and deleted again. Either way, it wanted a real password before letting me click delete.

Right, that makes things less fun indeed :(

Couldn't agree more. For a person that runs/admins their own DNS and mailserver infra, I'm surprised they didn't immediately gravitate towards one of the lightweight clients. Been a while since I last needed to get invol

Another thing: if you've never directly used Slideshare and instead signed in via your Linkedin in username, you'll need to set a password in order to delete the account (it prompts you to set one in the delete modal).

No impact here in Lisbon, PT (using MEO). I can access: HN, twitter, cloudflare, AWS, DO, Hetzner, DDG, Scaleway etc.

We make heavy use of views within Snowflake, have sensible cluster keying and, further downstream, also leverage things like Looker's PDTs and Elastic Search. The issue is we have billions of rows and very varied analytical requirement

We're hitting some perf issues with Snowflake at work (not necessarily due to Snowflake itself but possibly more what we're trying to do with it: data warehouse storage needs but also a need for close to real-time analytical query

Seems fair enough to me... they're footing the massive bill of organising, transcoding, archiving and documenting all this. It's OSS, so if you want to do something similar but without GH branding nothing stops you (assuming you h

I use it as a benchmark for how well my blockers etc. are working. Yes you are unique initially but you can then tweak everything until you start becoming less unique. For things that should always be unique (like a canvas fingerprint), jus

It isn't great but imho it's better than Chrome which confuses me each time and feels super limited: 1. Open settings 2. Privacy and security 3. Scroll down to find the tiny "See all cookies and site data" 4. Use the sea

amiunique.org is just a database of fingerprints (size of which is governed by however much traffic they get). If you're showing up as unique it's either because: 1. your blockers are randomising each time 2. your blockers aren&#x

Very insightful read. Loved the part describing TikTok's algorithm as essentially a zero friction, global 'market maker' for content producers and consumers. Really clicked with me.

SEPA really is great. Would be awesome if more of the world (including the US) adopted IBAN - maybe it would lead to a similarly cheap and fast global payment area.
