If it’s only a question of money, if a 3 letter agency or someone else pays more than you to access your unencrypted data then what happens?

I agree. I would only add that when the problem space is not well understood, these cobbled together solutions can also give the illusion of working well, but being suboptimal in the long term they can accumulate large "missed-opportun

It’s even stronger than that: the other part of the job is extracting requirements from people who don’t understand the problem they want to solve - even when the problem is not technological. There is no silver bullet (AGI would be it, but

Well, probably there were no previous years for SARS-CoV-2. If you are referring to the increased deaths compared to other regions in Italy, there are many factors, the most prominent probably being (a) Lombardy's terrible healthcare h

I'm not knowledgeable on the subject, but reading the related wikipedia page [1], and in particular the section about liquidator mortality, leaves me skeptic about the <100 numbers. And there are also deaths which are more loosely r

Not the OP, but for me energy restoring activities are “active” ones, like hobbies where you create/build something. Working on a painting, photo, sculpting, writing, working on a side project, playing intelligent games with your dog,

CFR is affected by the methodology with which you count the positive cases. Italy is badly underestimating the number of affected people (the head of the Civil Protection service says that we could have 10 times more cases than those accoun

For sure it’s more integrated than southern Italy, but I don’t know and can’t speak about other EU countries. It’s entirely possible the higher traffic brought in the first asymptomatic cases earlier than in other regions.

The tail in dogs is fairly important for communication (especially with other dogs - intraspecific communication), as it can indicate many different emotional states, not only excitement. See for example https://www.mdpi.com&#x2F

You have to start somewhere. If you start saying it won't work, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. On the other hand, if you start something not too unreasonable saying that you can do it, it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy too, but a
