Having followed hearings related to Libra, sure there is a lot of posturing. However, first, some MP asks precise critical questions. Secondly, it seems that even for trained CEOs one hour of intense questioning takes a toll. I've rare

The title is at best misleading. They do not attack M. Schrems in Justice or even morally. They are the object of two complaints and they defend themselves invoking that privacy laws are not applicable as they are not directly processing da

The technology side is secondary. However, if it wasn't for cryptocurrencies, we wouldn't be discussing this topic today. Bitcoin has proven that it was possible to build an open financial infrastructure, and has inspired many sim

There is a key difference in nature, with some practical consequences. You don't have money in your bank account, the bank has a debt toward you. When you wire money or pay with a credit card, it triggers a chain of intermediaries to m

Rants might be an interesting art form, but are not information. On topics I know: - People get fired every day in France. The set of valid justifications and processes are explicit. - EU legal harmonization is a work in progress that respe

I've run into the problem a few times, trying to run an old version of a software for research purposes. But for daily usage, this misses the concept of open source. Most decades old software is still maintained, rebuild and packaged b

While this is interesting, it illustrates the time and tinkering necessary to combine different tools and documentations to achieve something simple. Another similar example that I use regularly on constrained machines to list installed pac

I wonder how much those problems are related to the design of the OS or to commercial strategies. I am under the impression to have a well designed base layer and apps. Then if I want anything more or different, I can use other apps that ar

I beg to differ. Exactly as shown your video, environmental protection is currently mainly led as an element of public policy. Hence, when it conflicts with economic and individuals' interests there is not much weight to preserve regul

We worked on a concept based on this idea a couple of years ago, at the highest of DAOs and Smart Contracts hype. There is already the possibility to create environmental protection non-profits for a specific area. In France, and other coun
