The reason it was taken so serious was because the PRC government could revoke your license to have presence in China with a penstroke for this mistake. When these mistakes happened it was as urgent to fix as general downtime, highest busin

I think it is not contentious as a general fact. But I think it had to do with it appearing in a sublist, where all other countries were hostile. I don't recall on which country manager's order the different requirements came eith

I work for a multinational company. I have lost count how many times we have received instructions to move Israel from Europe to Middle East, back and forth, again and again, in the list if countries the company have presence in (it is cate

Exactly. As Meta certainly wants to sell ads to Norwegian companies, this is inevitable.

Yes it was called vimcrypt or something like that. The difference compared with gpg is (among other things) that with vimcrypt you could use an arbitrarily short key, say 12 characters, like a password is long. That is much too short to be

I was naive about vims encryption. I did not realize that an encryption key is not the same as a password. It is much more feasible to brute force vim's encryption than to brute force a login for example. And if I am not mistaken the

I remember a colleague telling me about this, he used one late 2007. I thought "what unneccessary complexity, I store them encrypted with vim, much better". I know better now.

I am not a security expert. But this method I think I could teach my aging parents. Password managers don't work with them, too confusing. Just a simple OAUTH dialog causes a 30 minute phone call with them.

What does this refer to? Is it available for example in Windows?

This doesn't make sense. Why would Musk want to humiliate himself by doing it? Because I can't see it turn out any other way

Are there no alternatives for the failed Indiegogo campaign? It looks useful.

Survival at what price? Even if it is possible to become revived, I doubt that it would be with full health.

That is a really good analogy!

Everything about this feels so foreign to me. I don't understand who wants to work with it, nor do I understand who wants to sign up to be stored this way. I can understand a wish for extended life, but feels so surreal to believe this

Strange, since I don't work in the vaccine industry and can provide an exsmple: Pandemrix. It caused narcolepsy for some children, in a certain age. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix "At the end of Ma

Is riddle a different name for math problem? I thought they were more a play with words. Like: what becomes larger the more you take away? Answer: a hole.

Nor does it mean it is terrible. That is the kind of exaggregation I reacted on.

I fail to see how we represent terrible design. Most animals our size need to chew food with their mouth, and of them I can't think of any more successful than us, evolutionary speaking.

A famous Swedish author still types on typewriter for this reason. However, I assume his editor cleans ups his scripts in ways others can't count on.

Agree. It gives that "nifty!" impression, but I don't think it would be so useful in practise. Especially, I don't think the vegetables would keep well in that box. When I replaced my older (90s) fridge, vegetables kept

I don't think it is better where it matters. Modern fridges circulate the air to manage humidity and temperature better for different zones (meat, vegetables etc). Also, less energy usage and no ozone-destroying coolants.

How old are you? That sounds unusual to be honest, to not even have met someone. I am from Sweden, I have been fired even though there are strong labour protections here. Fired probably the wrong word, made redundant probably more accurate.

If not equivalent, it is not far from it.
