Well, having already made enough money to always be able to just say "you know what, I'm out" whenever you feel like it is necessary to be happy in any situation and interested in everything. Anyone who's not "secur

We should stop because it bothers them that the "clever" ways they try to undermine democracies and the EU aren't that clever at all and easily observable.

True. If you compare Hungary / Poland and for example Ireland and Portugal, the difference couldn't be greater in terms of effectiveness of government.

"So many unnecessary words" to me is a good observation of the post's shortcomings, and ironically also applies to your comment.

Agree.

Not a networking expert, but like classic literature (and some modern stuff). The writing, especially the dialogue sounds like a primary school first writing assignment.

I don't follow why you think anything about this is weird. I tried to explain that what happened here was what anyone with a little knowledge about Germany and its government agency would expect to happen. She either feigns ignorance i

You're missing the plot twist: The exact point she (I think deliberately) left out: The letter didn't end up at some "random office" - it ended up exactly where such letters would be expected to end up. "Such a lett

This also describes companies during the "we're creating a great product / service" phase, when meetings aren't "won" by those who can sell themselves or their ideas best. Companies on the decline will alw

Oh, no doubt that intelligence gathering operations are almost always made to look nondescript and not what they are, especially nowadays with Google Maps and such. Everyone who's seen a war / spy movie will know this. The differe

She sent a letter to a government address famous in fringe conspiracy circles, containing an electronic device. Clearly her letter was flagged as a possible threat and redirected to the proper authority equipped to deal with such envelopes.

I'm convinced this is a non-story. She didn't prove the existence of the alleged secret government organisation "Bundesservice Telekommunikation", but rather that the system to protect government organisations and their

The rise and success of "TED talks" as a non-American struck me as the epitome of the American "post-empire" mindset - rich and successful people cheering on even richer and more successful people for spouting ideas that

If you have a bug that renders your product unusable and refunds are in order, the flexibility of handling traffic peaks which a cloud provider offers won't solve that problem for you. It could even aggravate it. If a show-stopping bug

Very true. And in terms of cloud computing, it would mean that alerts and notifications and limits are worth absolutely nothing if it's on the customer to set them up in the correct way for every scenario imaginable. Which is nearly im

OK. Then I probably should have asked whether there is anything gained by "drawing" a GUI with characters. Don't get me wrong, I spend most of my day on the command line. But I never thought "this would be so much better

I wonder if before cloud computing, has there ever been a successful product / service where it was accepted with just a shrug that the volatility of monthly costs means it could bankrupt you with next month's bill, because of com

The problem you have is that you don't have practical experience living and working in the country and haven't been able to develop a feel or "bullshit radar" for how things work there. The 1991 act was just another sham

It surely is impressively well made. I am wondering though whether Charm actually qualifies as a text-based interface. Isn't it more like a replication of a graphical user interface, with windows and tabs etc.? If one's issues wit

So the non-smoking laws in Japan are in effect now (I left Japan in 2019), but I wouldn't count on them being enforced. Anyway that'd remove one barrier of stepping into an Arcade in Japan.

I mean it's already proven that Konami is a Yakuza business, it's pretty safe to assume that in uniform culture like Japan, no non-shady entities would get into video game arcades because the risk to compete with organised crime i

OK then it's a question if other EU members will use this as precedence. With the current frosty climate between the EU and US social media, I reckon it will.

Do you know if in Finland, those prices are subsidised in any way?

It's a service charge. They say it's a rental fee for the meter. Just one of those scams that are allowed to go on because nobody bothers to take them to court for it. ISPs are doing it too, i.e. charging a monthly fee for the DSL
