I agree with you except for the HTTPS part. In some nations it's not unheard of for ISPs to inject ads and tracking into webpages. This also opens the door for malware. Let's Encrypt's with its certbot made it easy enough to

Microsoft's strategy with GitHub is very likely to replace their old Azure DevOps (Server) offerings within the next 2-3 years. Then they can cash in on the Windows and mac/Linux crowd at the same time with a single product. The s

You cannot compare this just by contracts. The US is blocking all exports of COVID-19 vaccines (except for AZ to Mexico and Canada just now). Pfizer/Biontech were until just a few weeks ago only producing in one location inside the EU

VW is also licensing their EV platform to other manufacturers. Ford will use VW's "Modularer E-Antriebs-Baukasten" (MEB) for some (maybe even all) of their new EV models. VW is currently killing it in the EV business and are

It's inexcusable, honestly. These are the kind of decisions that not only need department head approval but also CTO approval. If the CTO didn't see it coming, they failed. HIPAA isn't some random cert you have to satisfy a s

I'm getting a "connection was reset" error. The hoster is most likely blocking all requests to the host name, probably due to an automatic DDoS detection (Wordpress is quite memory hungry) or because the included traffic has

People chose to install Chrome because Google displayed prominent ads on their search engine and optimized their web apps to Chrome. Basically nagging people until they installed it.

You are just recentralising everything Bitcoin allegedly decentralized. It's ridiculous. Just pay cash, you are decentralized, are your own bank and can buy everything. Problem solved without Bitcoin. You won't get rich from just

Channel factories do not work globally as far as I understand them. They only work within a group of addresses that know they won't close the channels every other hour or everybody would have to create yet another channel. It sounds ve
