Well, in NL you were allowed to squat a property if it was vacant for more that a certain amount of time. Then the local Liberals (Mark Rutte) outlawed squatting and it’s basically like the parent comment described.

Your supercomputer won’t last more than a couple years, 5 at max. Then it will simply be unjustifiably expensive to run when newer, more power efficient hardware becomes available. What matters is the software platform and compatibility: yo

Hmm, morning doses remain the same. In the afternoon laziness might delay the inevitable second moka round but eventually I’ll go for it. I have a 6cups Bialetti Venus... should I be worried?

Yeah, imagine having to negotiate the EULA of every single grocery item to check for “fitness for consumption” clauses, what a Libertarian dream would that be! Of course the Market will eventually average out the bad players, thanks to the

Note that federalism is much more vulnerable to local interests. So instead of having to watch out for “Big- whatever” bending the State to their will, “microlocal” governments can fall prey of laughably small interest groups (see the Covid

In fact there’s no point in being “agile” in an organization that has no appetite for change (unless those are topdown, consultant-driven, marching orders). When you’re given the false hope optimization is possible, only to bump into 2-3 la

Oh yes they do, and why would you want to break network caching to spy on your users? You can always add some little js to ping your server (logs! Again!) or a non-cacheable tracking pixel.

Hmm, really? Since Windows 10 your desktop runs in a guest domain, while the kernel running the drivers is isolated. Since about 5 years Apple provides this kit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor Ye

Intel also cheated: all that speed increase came at the cost of breaking several assumptions about data isolation. Intel was king, while it lasted.

Well, at my Alma Mater in Rome I heard the story that all machines in the “internet lab” (we’re talking ‘00s here) had their RAMs ripped out and replaced with older and smaller sizes, as well as all the CPUs. Ideally admins should have chai

For what I understand of Islam, there’s no final authority like the Catholic Pope. In Islam, authority is a matter of who has the most resources to make more followers. Unfortunately the USA decided to bankroll the most reactionary sect, gi

I'm sure there's plenty of hardcoded panels that will be used to control the same process for decades also in the "western" world.

That’s frankly dystopian. It’s much worse than deregulation; it’s the dissolution of a uniform state. A return to the Middle Ages, its warlords and its robber barons.
