The reason low tech works for something as important as voting is because it's expensive and inefficient. That expense and inefficiency is what protects it from fraud. You would need enormous sums of money to overturn an election like

I can confirm Ireland does this as well. I'm not familiar with immigration law as have both US and EU passports and can travel to work freely between the two. While I critique the US for a lot and it does get a lot wrong I think many c

I recently migrated from Digital Ocean to Scaleway. Digital Ocean was great but I had to make sure my stack was entirely in the EU in case the US decides to hit a kill switch for some mental negotiation tactic. Pricing and interface and per

The US sells software to the EU. To me is constantly amazing that US citizens and US gov thinks it can just pull the plug without consequence to itself. You pull the plug the money stops rolling in. I don't know if you've ever tri

I'm not sure this is sad news but I guess is news or at least some milestone, loved Deus Ex and Warren Spector but he's old, has money, why not retire? Congrats to him on the great career and hopefully he enjoys his retirement.

I recall reading years ago that cloud services were expected to run with a reliability of 3 or 4 '9's and that if they didn't competing services would quickly overtake them in adoption. The industry was supposed to be that cu

Same in Ireland. I think the country grass is fields or near woodlands or rivers is still holding on to its green but urban grass in parks is scorched. I've never seen this before. Ireland is fundamentally a wet country and always has

Lovable is well suited to take over from Wix, Squarespace, Wordpress ... any static websites or simple apps that amount to a shop front. It's a market most serious software developers don't care about but still needs to be service

Was the Union army complicit in the crimes of the Confederacy by simply allowing them to drop their arms and walk away as well? The world is complicated and full of nuanced takes depending on context. That said: >If a rival political par

It won't happen. I was against Brexit, but now that it's happened it's better that the UK stays on the outside. The mood in the EU is that after Hungary, we don't need Eurosceptic nations polluting the Union from the ins

TIL. It's easy to confuse because archive.is uses several domains like archive.ph and archive.today so you can see how easy it is to think they are related.
