Why don't you explain why it isn't like this? Instead you accuse me of having an agenda, that is a very weak argument in a discussion. The fact is, you cannot touch crypto currency or take it home, you can just tell somebody else

You don't actually own cryto currencies either. You own the key, equivalent to the document you mentioned. If something happened to the blockchain, your key would be worthless. Much like a bank that got robbed. Storing crypto currencie

Not really. Registering, yes, but you can sue anybody at any time. You might lose but it doesn't prevent you from suing. If you hold a trademark you are obligated to defend it. If you don't others can void it.

I _recently_ suffered through a meeting where we developers were told to use the _new_ testing framework some team at our corp created. It's written in Java (we use .NET exclusively in our branch), configured via Excel sheets and Java,

In Germany you can rent equipment and operators for this equipment. A lot of farmers do it for crops they don't usually harvest but are required to to keep the land fertile or to collect subsidies. The problem with this model is that,

When one is over 50 and has a family to support, growing some balls and quitting jobs could end up with one defaulting on the mortgage. It's easy to say this when you don't have any obligations and are young. But later in life thi

It's about privacy. That metadata is extremly valuable is something that not only the NSA discovered but also Google, Facebook, and many more.

Google requires you to use their infrastructure unless you want to have significantly reduced battery life. There is no energy efficient way to listen for notifications unless you use Google's solution that they baked into the kernel.

All this outsourcing talk is so 2005. If it worked so easily, FAANG would've outsourced everything to India 10 years ago and tripled their profit. In reality a common cultural background (i.e. how to approach some kind of work) is a lo

I agree with this. You are also only one bug in the query planner away from going bankrupt. Imagine Planetscale upgrading to a version which contains a small edge-case bug and now you owe them tens of thousands because of it.

It's not only the minister's opinion, it's Germany's opinion. As minister he is allowed to make deals in the name of Germany. Germany and France are the main financial contributors to the EU budget, so they are involved

At some point it cannot continue this way. I wonder what will happen when those empty houses suddenly cannot sell for more than their purchase price. Will people start living there because now they aren't a burden to the new owner? Or

Maybe this will change with Starlink or over time but usually remote places in Europe have really, really slow internet connections (if any) so they are not really suited for remote work unless you can do everything via Citrix or similar.
