While most people use internet for porn, the same people also most likely use internet for work and business. It's not like your browser is locked to Pornhub.com.

The point is it has the permission, even outside the app, the entire time it's running (so all the time).

Still, they probably considered that when they approved a shipbuilding business within their city borders.

This place would've been looking for another super yacht contract if Bezos didn't come around. It's not like Bezos caused this city to develop yachts, they built this industry there themselves and they need clients. Bezos is

Why do you think so? Isn't it much cheaper and easier on the environment to dismantle a bridge (that was probably built with that in mind) than to move an entire city of professionals+the infrastructure around them away to a more suita

Not true, as I said, even convicted criminals have their human rights.

I don't care about them. If they wan't to wait for an e-mail all day, it's their problem. I won't hate this technology just because some users of it are dumb.

Some people don't care that it's slow. Availability and uniformity is much more valuable for example in school environment, especially at one where they teach IT one hour per week and the teacher is not really a programmer themsel

Sure - but that weather/map/whatever widget might be paid, and unless you want to pay for others' API usage, you should make the relevant API calls from your backend, not frontend. Also consider caching 3rd party service repl

Haha, the German government is pushing for lawfully required backdoors at the same time.

That's a very long way to say "they broke the law"/"did something unethical/immoral" - which I don't think is the case - and regardless, that's no justification, even convicted criminals have the

Mesos used to be popular right before Docker became popular. To this day I am not sure how I'd deploy a dockerized app to Mesos... Which is IMHO a big part of the problem.

My own perspective is opposite. People act like rich people aren't humans with rights anymore.

The definition of doxxing includes searching public databases for public data. Many schools have public timetables but that doesn't give you any right to make a "What lesson does little Elon have now" twitter bot.

This is essentially doxxing.

Uber would've definitely be positive if it wasn't for COVID. Where I am, People use it massively to get to/from parties, that basically died for the entire 2021... The local Uber branch said there was less than 1/10 ride

If this guy didn't get a warning, they're using power-user software (likely CLI-based). Of course one shitty design doesn't justify another, but the point is not justification but a reply to all the people saying "this i

Consumer wallet software gives you a warning that this is probably not what you want. > In the US at least, you can get your money back through the legal system. Accidentally dropping your money into someone else’s account does not give

What's so interesting? I already told you this wasn't a simple missclick. No need to reiterate. You can dump money into a pit just as easy with the classic banking system. Where I live (EU), wiring money is the primary way of paym

If you wire money to a Nigerian prince, it's gone too. Doesn't mean a bank is not a safe place where to put your money.

People are allowed to login as root and delete their systems too. Yes, today's software doesn't make it easy - and the same can be said about this wallet/token; this was a complex sequence of steps in the wrong direction, not

The thing is, the address exists - only (probably) nobody has its private key.

SMTP servers are able to reply whether a user exists, and some still do. Your own server will send you a "undeliverable" message if it receives a negative reply.

> In Europe you have to go to some central bank to get such a service, I don't think medium cities branches do that. What? No. It's absolutely normal even in very small towns (~ 5k). Also, post offices offer the service.

It makes enough difference that I myself landed on my head a few times in my life. Fortunately I had a helmet. And yes I was going slow. The line is drawn around your bike. Don't ride it without a helmet.

Makes the whole thing even worse.
