Google will easily point you to mountains of evidence that they do work, from scientific studies. If you don't want to look at them or convince yourself you know better than the people who conducted these studies then that's unfor

He was listed on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2021, with a net worth of $17.2 billion. His fortune is largely driven by his ownership of Telegram - Wikipedia. So billions from Telegram, a free app. What am I missing?

If I present some device to my local street dealer and tell him to "use this it's secure I swear" he'll probably punch me cause he suspects a trap. Amazing that these "world class" criminals fall for this stuff

Protip to the cartels - pay top dollar to some world class engineers to setup a dark web market and you'll make buckets. Most if not all markets until now have been run by geeks with limited knowledge and skills, wading in to the crimi

So they got to this most wanted man and instead of arresting him they fed him an app to help catch all his buddies while at the same time put a target on his back? Pretty daring move.

Source on masks not working? Their usefulness in non crowded spaces in open air is probably debatable but if you're in an elevator with 10 people sneezing wouldn't you rather wear one? Why does every surgeon in the world wear one?

This is a global pandemic that came out of China. In the worst possible case, Fauci hid the fact that an org he's involved in donated a minuscule portion of its budget to the lab from where the virus leaked due to incompetence. It&#x27

100K from a 5B budget is peanuts and you couldn't reasonably expect the person at the top to know the details of what each recipient of 100K is doing exactly. If all of the 5B is spent on coronavirus research then it's a different

A bit like the Bugatti Veyron. When it first came out it was explained that several companies had been trying to build this mythical car (1000HP, 400Km/h, trying to stick F1-like performance in an easy to drive "consumer" car

Assuming you're reading these values off a device, most can display them in various different formats. It's pretty confusing and converting them isn't easy either.

Docker makes things really slow, VirtualBox much better on my Intel Mac. Any idea if Parallels would work better on the M1?

Personally I can't wait to upgrade my iMac to the one with the new chips as soon as they come out, but the fact that setting up a dev env is still a pain (whether it's Docker or a VM) makes me hesitant. I want to run multiple VMs

GDPR rules (which may not apply to you or Discord, not sure) say a company MUST hard delete a user's data upon request. Except if company can claim to need it, like for invoicing / tax reasons. Seems reasonable.
