I'm sure that the phone operators will not be happy about such a blacklist: they sell those numbers. Furthermore, they profit from spam calls in several ways.

It happened in Italy too (and we also had the fake job offer calls.) Suddenly I got spam calls from France and Spain and not anymore from Italian mobile numbers.

We have that kind of list in Italy too. I registered my number and I keep getting calls, so I stopped answering to numbers not in my contacts list. If I know that somebody will be calling me, I ask for the number and I add it to the list.

There are many paywalls that send all the content in the html and then hide it with a script. However there are many more properly implemented paywalls that send only a few lines of content and you don't find the content even on the ar

Reader mode bypasses it. It's only a JS layer on top of content that's already inside the HTML doc. Disabling first party JS works too, using umatrix or similar tools. The site works perfectly without JS. Edit: because of all of t

Prices must raise a lot to make self hosting mainstream or at least fairly popular. Yesterday a coworker posted on a customer's Slack the specs of a box he is planning to buy to run local models. It's about 5k Euro. I am paying 18

But maybe no customer will be there to actually buy, because cash flows could crash their businesses. So options on chips? Call or put?

About increasing welfare, I am not sure about that. Workers pay taxes, companies not much. Welfare is often paid by taxes, especially for people that can't find a job. If more AI leads to less workers, than less taxes and less welfare.

So a lot of problems will be solved by 2049 (overpopulation) and probably many others will arise (we never had worldwide decreasing demographics.)

Two insights. One from the article itself > In our day-to-day work these threats appear rarely. Two: IRL the attacker pays a small amount of money to a low salary employee to exfiltrate data.

So Rails or some PHP framework. It was slightly too early to go full Node. Django was a little unusual too among the developers I knew. Java was still a thing but more for finance related projects.

No way. You get to the rim and only then you realize how huge it is. And then you still have to go down into the canyon.

In any city I saw there are people crossing the road with a green light in front of cars that would have turned right on red so those cars wouldn't go anywhere until they get a green. In areas with little pedestrians, maybe it's O

You sell less to people living in the cities but maybe you sell more to the operators of fleets of rental cars, even self driving if that really becomes mainstream. Not enough to match the decrease of sales. You keep selling to people livin

I optimize for the longest continuous lines because it takes less time and effort to mow in that way.

How often did you mow the same grass to have to care about the direction of the previous mow? I mow my garden between one to two weeks, according to the time of the year and sometimes I stop in June, if it stops raining like in 2022 and thi

You have to buy a Chromebook to run ChromeOS, right? You can install Linux on your PC as dual boot. The investment is far smaller. However you have to buy a Mac to run MacOS so maybe that means that a Chromebook is not a very compelling mac
