In my view scores are relative to expectations, usually tied to price. A restaurant with a $50 meal and a 3 star score will likely have better food than one with a $5 meal and 5 stars on an absolute scale, but the people who got their $5 me

If you have a license, take a road trip, they can be quite relaxing solo. Every morning when you wake up just look at the map and figure out where you want to reach that day and take it from there.

I'm not seeing how digital nomads have an additional negative impact compared to tourists though. If we're comparing not having wealthy foreigners vs having them, then yes, nobody will deny that has an effect on housing stock, but

Why do you expect them to crack down? The intent of disallowing working on tourist visas is to protect the local labor market. Digital nomads work for foreign companies and don't get location based market benefits that would be restric

In regards to government debt (since the thread was originally about it), the government's debt is denominated in its own currency and the US is in the very cushy position where the USD is core to global trade, so the government can pr

Chrome has support for casting to Chromecasts. While not enough reason to daily drive Chrome, it does come in handy for the random video player that doesn't natively support it.

If the data is ordered by row as in your example (e.g. {1,a},{1,b}, etc), a relatively straightforward option would be to read all columns for the row and use the values as a key such that hash(columns) -> list(rowNum). This may not give

Venezuela is not only almost completely dependent on oil exports (extreme price fluctuations) but it's also not agriculturally self sufficient. It's not the only country with those problems, and they're not insurmountable pro

I suspect Sony will be getting $154M in cash rather than as bitcoin, as that's what was initially stolen. Whatever is left after the US government auctions it off stays with the US government.

Most likely, because if they refuse and it's infringing then it's them (WhatsApp) getting dragged to court for not following the court's orders. I suspect it'll end up similar to how most service providers handle DMCA ta

You can't stop it absolutely, but you can in effect by taking away the economic reason that it occurs. The primary reason the deforestation is happening is to open up land to produce agricultural products for export (primarily soy and

If a business behaves in a way you don't agree with it's perfectly reasonable to cease purchasing from them. Of course this move punishes soy growers who aren't responsible and turns them into collateral damage, but a move li

My experience has been similar. The most important thing that can't be easily resolved is if the server's IP is already on the blocklists, but other than that DKIM, DMARC, SPF, and reverse resolution together solves the ~~magical

The risk is much lesser, but there's the possibility of poisoning the binaries or release package. There's also the whole "just because open source allows people to review code doesn't mean that they do" problem, bu

A lot of the devices mentioned ("routers, printers, and self-hosted IoT devices") don't give ways to change the certificate. Besides, not every individual or company wants to or is knowledgeable enough to manage their own CA.

That's not necessarily true, there's been several security layers added these past few years. The YAMA LSM prevents user processes from reading the memory of processes that are not its children. It's already enabled by defaul
