I believe so too. The API they provide doesn’t need to respond with the exact address until an approved carrier makes an identified request. The availability of that API needs to be perfect though!

Lately I this idea for email. It would work like a twitter handle for the user but similarly to domains and dns under the hood. Then you just use this handle to register and receive email communication. If you change email provider or get l

I think that's the bet many investors are making at the moment. And if it pays off, it will do so big times as it will be almost impossible to maintain a codebase without an LLM. Therefore making them indispensable for the company usin

I wish I could have sent this wikipedia entry to Mark Twain. It would have been a fine addition to his "museum". I'm sure he would have been thrilled to hear about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rinder

Time is relative, absolutely (I had to do it, sorry). I guess in these articles they mean 10^77 years for an observer on earth. My understanding is if I was, somehow, waiting inside a black hole it would take much less time for me to observ

I suppose this time is expressed in earth years? Or what would this duration mean on a Universe scale? Also given the nature of space-time (the time and gravity relationship) wouldn't time be almost still once, let's say, year 10⁷

An explanation I once read, and I think makes total sense, is WWII. Europe was heavily destroyed after WWII with no exception to railway tracks. They needed to be rebuild. They were, but with a much better technology than what was there in

I think so as well. Also isn’t the internet in general quite an extreme place? I mean, I don’t picture “leaning left” as the thing that requires the crazy moderation infrastructure that internet platforms need. I don’t think the opposite of

That would work of we had viable alternatives (on par with the US offers or as an easy migration). But we don’t really, so if the EU also adds tariffs than we’ll have the same issues the US is going to have. Meaning higher prices for the sa
