Молодец, нельзя, фу, тоска, почемучка. When learning Russian these are just a few of the words I found myself saying even when speaking English. Which gives a hint that a good direct translation maybe isn’t quite there.

So, basically when a company pays a ransom they’ll also have to pay a tax. Lovely.

In the US, there was a ruling a couple of years ago that gives some legal clarity to scraping data made publicly available (in favor of the scrapers) in the hiQ vs. LinkedIn case. You can read more about it here https://www.eff.o

One interesting thing about chia is that before you can “farm” you have to “plot”. Plotting (generating the files that fill up the hard drive to provide the proof of stake) takes fast SSDs and lots of CPU, if you want to build your farm in

Feels like classic Innovator’s Dilemma [1]. Adobe’s incumbent bread-winning products do not allow them to internally develop less expensive alternatives that would actively erode revenue from the legacy products. So outside companies do it

I recall talking to a guy who was a contractor to banks that helped them with security. I asked what happened in cases where someone had money stolen via an online breach. He said, “If the thief stole $50, the bank would make it up to keep

And I would add some idea of usage. If the project has no revenue but some traffic / traction that is much different than code running on a development server.

The previous discussion was talking about adjusting work hours as an alternative to daylight saving time. My comment is that’s not viable a alternative as I don’t think people want to try to determine if the post office closes at 4:00 or 5:

Since 2018, 13 states in the US passed resolutions to get rid of the semi-annual clock changes but also that daylight saving time become permanent. Of course, federal law doesn’t allow them to do such (a state only has the option to not obs

I recall watching a group of kids who figured out that they could increase their speed on the slide by about 4x by riding down it while sitting on a plastic food tray. I don’t know who had more fun - the kids or me watching them.

The main thing I like about smart lights is the concept of programmed “routines”. I have a large family so perhaps that makes it more beneficial. Morning routines that run automatically: - Turn on the bedroom lamps at a low dim level around

It seems to me people spend a whole lot more on cars when they are allowed to shop based on “monthly price” rather than “purchase price”. When the dealer is offering that comfort, convenience or sport package, it’s sure a lot easier to say

For online processing, 3% is by no means above market. For example, the default price on Stripe (and many others) is 2.9% plus $0.30 . For a business with an average order value of $30, that $0.30 adds a full percent, bringing your fees to

Chicken and waffles is probably my favorite thing to introduce to someone. They can’t believe it’s a thing before they try it, and after they wonder where it’s been all their life.

Yeah because if some people don’t use something correctly that means “as a general statement” it doesn’t work. If the brakes on a car are not properly maintained and replaced, the car won’t stop and will be dangerous therefore “cars don’t w

I believe Kroger recently fixed this. Over the past two weeks I’ve had to deal with the insanity of putting some apples in my cart and start the checkout process to see if there was a slot, and if so, grab it and then come back and modify m

By controlling the amount of loans made to banks, the Fed controls the money supply. Money is created out of thin air (without a printing press) by issuing new loans, which is what the Fed does.

I’m often surprised at the ticket prices on trains in Europe. As I’ve traveled around there, it’s not uncommon for me to see a route by train at approximately 100 EUR and the same route by air by for less than half that. Causing additional
