No, that's not what they said. They said if you are using it to break laws, then you can't not expect to be arrested. A money laundering operation can hardly been seen as fundamentally a way to provide privacy but as a way to chan

It's hard to say without knowing you! It might be because they see in you very strong skill with old flaky code that others are not trusted to fix but it could be that they see you as old-fashioned, uninterested or unmotivated and ther

Yeah exactly, it ignores the emotional reinforcement of buying somebody a gift, especially if it is their love language. My wife loves it when I buy her a new jotter and pen even though she could easily buy them herself.

Does it really benefit anyone? Massive organisations like the Indian railways don't blink at a fine of $160 and they certainly aren't going to change anything. Presumably most people don't get over-charged so there isn't

But what progress here? Someone who worked for us 20 years+ ago charged you too much. Sorry, it wouldn't happen now.

It's only fair that a company asking you to do this should pay you because they should only be doing it once they are far down the funnel and perhaps deciding whether you are go/no-go in which case, paying somebody a few hundred d

I read the title, went to the link, then started to read the "understanding" document and still don't know what this actually is and its application. It must assume that all of the jargon words are already well known by its r

Yeah, I was just thinking something similar. "Rich means someone who earns more than me". As someone pointed out, even earning $50K a year puts you in the top 1% globally and arguments about "it's all relative" asid

As others have said, it depends on what you mean by hobby and the reason for it. If it is a hobby project that you intend to make into a commercial product, stay focused, get to MVP and make sure you aren't burning effort on something

You could already do this without blockchain, the problem is adoption. If I create a leger that requires basic crypto-signing, I would need everyone to agree to use the system, perhaps try and make it the only system so there is an incent

There is a difference between someone's opinion and something that is offensive and potentially conspiring or inciting a crime. "I hate Boris because he doesn't run the country properly" could be called hateful but would

Honestly, I don't know. Incitement is already a crime in many scenarios but I think there is a relatively clean line between what might be called free speech like "I hate women" and incitement or 'hate speech' like

That is true, however, certain people when surrounded by "hateful" speech for long periods of time can easily become the actual law breakers who attack foreigners or trans or whatever other things some people hate. Although this B

Lots of people complain about Kubernetes complexity but I have found it is as complex as you make it. If you are running some simple workloads then once you have the pipeline setup, there is almost no maintenance required. When people compl

I hate to stick my neck up here but looking at this recently, I think that in trying to get cross-platform, you might end up with a lot of pain and not that great results. Instead, I would go for getting 3 devs and writing an app in a nativ

Yeah it sounds bad but it could also be described as "Potential problem on Ferrari is so rare, that it hasn't been noticed since 2005"

For me, the question isn't even about climate change, it's about managing variable levels of rainfall. Whether or not the manmade part is significant, the truth is we always get fluctuations in weather and sometimes it is really d

This x100! I have an S8 and although I am a Dev, I am really a Luddite on my phone. I have some random apps, a Google account and things like WhatsApp and Telegram but otherwise not really anything of note. However, I find things like the s

Sadly we have strayed to the other extreme. From "every instruction is precious" right over to, "who cares how many instructions I use?" Nowadays, desktop apps which started in an instant 20 years ago, seem to take sever

Good idea. Seems like you could use DNS or .well-known to provide canonical domains that could be checked by devices/email clients.

I think OP touches on it but even with a graphics tablet, there is no way I can create simple drawings and sketches on the computer compared to pen and paper. Even a simple box in powerpoint is: 1) Check if you are on the correct ribbon 2)

There are plenty of people out there who are somewhere between mentally ill, people who thinks things are funny or those who will literally do anything for fame or fortune. I mean those people who shared the fake "magnetic covid chip&q

I assume you mean that it's a defence that you thought it was true so you didn't commit a crime. That might be true at the beginning but I'm sure high-profile people like Alex Jones have enough exposure for people to put them

Some of them are terrible. "Release the ropes" (lifeboat) for eaxmple, as well as others, only mean something if you already know what they mean. A warning sign should be instinctive to most of the population. It's as pointle

This sounds like trying to make a big deal out of something that Europe has been doing for years. Sure, these are "cement like" instead of wooden but otherwise nothing that interesting here. It is common to overskin these pre-made

I might be way-off here but although Bell Labs produced the various transistors we have grown to love, these were a relatively simple set of variables with a known problem, it can only take so long testing these combinations of temperature,

Yeah. If they made it bus/cycle/walking only, that would be much better to actually make it better for people to use public transport. That said, plenty of traffic in London is commercial and a delivery driver can't just use

Not just harder to justify but the length of time (approx 10 years?) that it can take between the initial investment and people adjusting their lifestyle/moving to take advantage of the new infrastructure. That said, Manchester, Leeds,
