   > 10-14 kwh required to desal 1000 gallons of water. Wait, are those numbers right? That doesn't look that expensive to me. That's a roof full of solar for lots of water per day?!

   You can't go out and buy a loaf of bread with bitcoin, how is it supposed to be worth $800B?

   Yes, those numbers look fine, but have a closer look. Check page 14, Monthly Active Users: They have slightly risen in the US, slightly decreased in Europe, strong growth in Asia and RoW. Compare that to page 15, Average Revenue per User: U

   I think with WhatsApp and Instagram under its control, Meta still has quite a reach. Facebook might be (rapidly) declining, but I didn't hear young people switch to Signal/Telegram in masses, because their parents are also using W

    Thank you, that helped me. Had a quick glance at the documentation and it seemed solid indeed.

    Maybe from plants in the US or somewhere else in the world. I think in the end it's more important (from the perspective of the US) that China will not get that technology.

    > give them up to China I'm not sure the US would let this happen. Maybe they'd just level the factories with cruise missiles before China can get hold of them.

    Who is nopecha.com? I mean, like as a person, a company, an entity. Maybe that's a strange cultural thing, but is anyone fine with giving them money or access to data without ANY information at all about who is behind that site? No con

    Well, yeah, but if you're a two person design agency, which builds WordPress sites on top of $popularTheme in a pair with $Pagebuilder... You don't care that much about controlling your hosting environment... But I get your point.

    What would you recommend? Looking for a more robust and streamlined solution to build small(er) pages...

    Sadly, there is, kind of. Shared webhosters (speaking for Germany) have started to disable support for PHP 7.x as there are no security patches anymore. That made it necessary to upgrade lots of WordPress pages, especially older ones had so

    Tales from the corporate firewall: Yesterday I couldn't access a website where "rechtsextremismus" (Right-wing extremism) was part of the URL. Obviously that URL contains sex and should therefore be blocked. -_-

    Not OP, but I don't know how to do that on the iPad of my mother, being 500+ km away and not owning an iPad myself. I think there's a time and place for chatbots. It's just not everywhere and all the time.

    While tempting, I should not click on any of these links from within the corporate network. Curiosity has to wait.

    See the other comment, it looks like this problem boils down to very bad security practices at the telcos but not a general problem with SMS itself.

    But this comes down to bad security practices at the telco, doesn't it? I don't know about other countries, but you can't even buy/activate SIM cards in Germany without "proper" identification through VideoIden
