The Netherlands had the opportunity to hit the reset switch in the 1970s with public support, that pushed through the changes in infrastructure and culture to foster a cycling centric society. I'm wondering if that could ever happen to

I'm wondering what % of an ISPS traffic is going over VPNs. If it's a very tiny percentage, wouldn't your average VPN user stick out like a sore thumb? I mean if say, authorities were monitoring what was going on, surely a VP

The money sent metric is interesting, is that what's actually going on right now? I have a miniscule amount of BTC (currently 'worth' £20), I just bought it out of novelty really, never found that much of a use for it outside

I wonder how they're doing this, are they invoking the Lambda functions using the synchronous API, or are they using something like API gateway? From what I can tell API gateway costs $3.50 a month per 1m calls, so unless they've

The tube is a lot of money sure, but it's nothing in comparison to commuter trains from other towns/cities. For example a season ticket from St Albans, a 25-30 minute or so train ride into the city costs £400+ a month
