This reads like a nothingburger. Couple of quotes from the article: > the idea that WhatsApp can selectively and retroactively access the content of [end-to-end encrypted] individual chats is a mathematical impossibility > Steven Murd

I'd be surprised as well. I know people who've worked on the WhatsApp apps specifically for years. It feels highly unlikely that they wouldn't have come across this backdoor and they wouldn't have mentioned it to me. Hap

How are people mistaking what is clearly easier business visas to facilitate short term visits for migration? The EU can't commit to changes on migration because individual countries decide that.

Absolutely not the case. This is just what overly online people think.

Those websites aren't easy to update. I have a website of my own too, and even though I've set it up to be as painless as possible, it's always going to be easier for me to open a social media app and post. Now imagine that t

This is so perfect. I just love that they can make fun of themselves and that you can remember such a reference from decades ago.

It definitely is. He also mentions that he has several unpainted sets acquired during the Obama Administration. He's constrained by time he can spend painting, not money to acquire more sets. There's no point adding to his backlog

This is going to be a really silly question. Do Warhammer players who buy the miniatures ever 3D print their own? Just curious if that's a thing.

This is a glib statement that disregards a massive amount of complexity. Energy is not expensive because of Net Zero taxes. Here's a breakdown of the average UK electricity bill over time [1]. The Renewables Obligation, that subsidised

I read this as "anything can be used as evidence if it confirms my preconceived notions". Your anecdotes about a friend or two are just that - anecdotes. This claim of "a single man could feed a whole family on one factory jo

> Homer Simpson I can't stress this enough, Homer Simpson is a fictional character from a cartoon. I would not use him in an argument about economics any more than I would use the Roadrunner to argue for road safety.

My guess based on what I've seen from Amsterdam, is that there would have been clashes in Birmingham, just as there were clashes in Amsterdam. Without getting into who was at fault and who would have been at fault, we're all bette

Yeah, bans are rare because hooliganism is rare. But in the instances of hooliganism, stadium bans are common! "Oh no, Maccabi fans are being targeted". No more than any other hooligans.

Just incredible how little people understand football on here, but confidently say things like this. Here's an example from a few months ago where Italy suspended their EU obligations to free movement to prevent hooligans entering fr

Is there RoI for this advertising spend or isn't there? If there is, what are we talking about here? If there isn't, then why would people spend on something not giving a positive RoI?

by nindalf 9mo ago
Yeah they probably had fewer advertisements back in the good old days, but they also had a much smaller economy, producing a whole lot less than we produce today. [1] And you might not like everything about the world today, but living in a

In your hurry to defend this slop you didn't do your due diligence. You know that 1 million LoC JS VM? Yeah, it isn't actually running - https://imgur.com/fqGLjSA . And you can tell this is actually the case becaus

You're claiming that the JS VM was implemented. Is it actually running? Because this screenshot shows that the ACID3 benchmark is requesting that you enable JavaScript ( https://imgur.com/fqGLjSA ). Why don't you up

Yeah, it's not executing any JavaScript. Hey Mr. Wilson! You've spent millions creating this worthless slop. How about making sure that the code is actually being executed? Or is that not necessary to raise millions more in VC fun

I thought they'd plagiarise, not import. Importing servo's code would make it obvious because it's so easy to look at their dependencies file. And yet ... they did. I really think they thought no one would check?

None of us have access to Cloudflare's internal data. But a reasonable guess is that enough of their current and future paying customers use Astro? I'm one of those - Astro hosted on Cloudflare.

The top comment doesn't even make sense. Sqlite actually had to get funding to continue operating! They weren't immune from worries like paying rent or buying groceries. It's just an ad that people are upvoting uncritically.
