Isn't that always the case? My friend was talking about a rare Magic The Gathering card being worth a silly amount of money... Except the card had only been sold once or twice at that price. Unless you have enough comparable items (e.g

It's not a tech issue, but a govt issue. Look up the cloud act. It essentially makes it impossible for any US company to truly comply with GDPR.

And yet you claim Germany and Europe have "gone wrong" when they make exactly such a determination. Seems like double standards. What's the difference?

"You shouldn't fight because the baddies are strong!" is a horrible argument in my book. Discouraging and disparaging other people's attempts is even worse.

Which is half the fun for /some/ people. What people are saying (including me) is that it's not fun for them, and Discord feels like a big hindrance instead of a benefit.

I remember there being a very good extension that did exactly this. It got review bombed by food bloggers, and they ended up taking it offline.

I asked a structural biologist friend of mine (world class lab) about the impact of alphafold. They said it's minimal. In most cases, having a "probably" isn't good enough. They use alphafold to get early insights, but t

The Zune was one of the nicest pieces of tech I've ever owned, and nothing anyone says will convince me otherwise.

Very impressive! At first I thought it wasn't interesting for me, but the features just kept on coming. Will have to try the super brightness as the weather keeps improving. I've always loved working outside, but brightness is a b

For Belgium: The rules are often still a bureaucratic mess, owed in part to the fact that it's easier to slap bandaids on existing systems than design a new system from scratch. The bandaids compound into systems that are often unintui

I'd challenge that. Used to work with AWS, now with GCP. - They both throw credits at companies. - Services are similar. - Prices are similar, although Google sometimes has silly costs for "enabling" a service/API. - GCP

Manga is a medium and basically spans the whole gamut, similar to books. You'll find kid friendly adventures, adult thrillers and everything in between. Just checked their website, and I could see both teen and adult titles.
