One drawback of having your own hardware that I haven't seen mentioned yet is that it sucks when something breaks. Then you have to go pick up your server, figure out what's broken, order new parts, install it and then take it bac

I have no sources at all, but my memory tells me that I've read that Visa, Mastercard and similar sell "anonymous" transaction info and that Google is their customer. I've been living under the assumption that Google cou

The problem is that this option is to buy AZ's current vaccine that have a high probability of being ineffective in 18 months. EU is not saying that it won't buy from AZ, but as of now it's not well spent money to buy their c

The EU have options to buy 100 million doses of AZ vaccine for 2022, but they need to make up their minds now if they want them or not. With AZ's history of not delivering on time I think this is a no-brainer, especially since we don&#

It might not be a breakthrough that takes us to Mars, but saying that an 10x improvement over existing versions isn't a breakthrough feels a bit unfair and a bit narrow minded. In this space it's obviously an breakthrough, you jus

You still have to make an order for everything you need and then go to the store to collect it. So the only time you really save here is the difference between collecting stuff from the physical shelves and the online counterpart. Cant imag

I'm one of the people that prefer the mask (in my case the Airtrim [0]). I had problems with it getting to humid inside the mask too before I learned that if I just blow (hard) out once every 10 minutes or so most exess humidity will b

I think modern car alarms would get triggered if the car got jacked up. Even on quite calm seas the alarm goes off on some cars parked on RORO ships, just from the vibrations.

Herd immunity is a potential side-effect of a virus hitting a population, it was never the strategy! If you have a pandemic with a new virus it would be kind off incompetent of the epidemiologists to not try to calculate if the population w

Funny side-note: Sweden never registered Swedish as an official language to the EU because they thought it would be a waste of EU funds to translate all documents to Swedish, since most people there can get along in English. Then Finland we

I agree, it only takes 10 min to make a pretty complex box. But to make it nice you usually need fillets, and then you're better off making the design again then to try to move the hole. Since it goes fast to make a new box it's n
