It takes me to a random location somewhere in the world (St Petersburg, Some place in China or Argentine etc.) Not sure if Google understands the idea behind April Fools.

You just made me look, and what I saw made me sad. Even more than I already was. :( "Let's remove this thing that is super useful while your stated goal could just as easily be reached while keeping the original functionality.&quo

IBM is beyond weird. Source: I spent about 14 of the past 20 years there (as a contractor) in the Global Services division. But for all the weirdness, and downright idiocy at times, they were always truly supportive of working from home. No

Never believe anything until it is officially denied. I see the same rhetoric in NL and DE, and other parts of Europe. Officials keep denying the issues with manipulated statistics. People know better, and as long as "populists" a

Out of curiosity, has anybody ever made a tool which compares past voting behaviour in stead of comparisons with political parties campaign programs? I found some minor discrepancies between campaign programs and actual voting behaviour in

I could just as easily argue the opposite: If your operations can't handle individual system reboots you are doing it wrong. Rebooting and even rebuilding entire systems are not bad things in my book. In any case saying that this needs

Which completely eliminates the use for this app. At least in the sense it is marketed for. If you only want to show the movie when you keep an eye on the one you're showing it to, just show it from your own phone. But I guess the whol

Perhaps that's why the next line reads: Parallelism: Parallelism happens when at least two units of work are executing simultaneously. It’s notable that you can support concurrency on a single processor system using appropriate schedul

Small side note, Amsterdam has it's issues here and there with crime, for sure, but saying there is only a small "Safe" section is complete nonsense. Most historical sites are completely safe, except maybe for pickpockets, li

I vaguely remember a similar service in NL that ended up selling this list of, now confirmed, email addresses. You should not have to opt out of spam/tracking bullshit.

Currently, for me, lack of a calendar is holding me back. As well as some other features, but I could probably overcome those. Relevant uservoice: https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-feedback/sugg...

I also use Telegram, it is currently my favourite messaging platform actually. It is not even so much the registering with a telephone I mind personally, but WhatsApp requires your phone to be online whilst using the desktop app. Jumping Wi

My apologies, Signal might not need it, but WhatsApp does. Out of order messages and some other quirks still make for a poor UX in my opinion.

The wire desktop client currently does not support pasting an image from the clipboard. It is listed as a feature request though, so I expect it to be implemented in the near future.

I have used Signal for a while, alongside Telegram and Whatsapp. I find the fact that they are chrome apps / require your phone to be online very annoying. Also I find signal regularly messes with the order of messages. Right now I am

If there was a 1% chance of outcome x, and I offered you 1000 to 1 odds, would you be a moron to take the bet, just because there is only 1% chance of winning it? Please call me. This moron put in EUR 100 yesterday at 4:1.

It's not only about the money. Connectivity is still not everywhere, and even if it is, bandwidth/latency issues arise. I really like having local data, local VMs and local everything. Sync when connected, but ready to go at any t

I have had, mostly technical, roles in some projects that could be classified as you did. Although I don't claim to have any authority in managing projects at this scale, my best guess is egoism. All these large projects have people in
