"Compromised" is a wrong word to use, unless you consider any obedience to the law "compromise". VPN providers who are still doing business in EU (not Europe) do obey court orders - that would be more correct wording. An

I believe it varies between countries. Where I live the actual address does not really matter for most intents and purposes, what matters is one's registered address because that's where paper post goes, and more and more people u

Neither are public information. The current registered address is, amount of taxes paid - yes, these are public (although for the latter you have to pay some very small fee, IIRC).

"Always wait for a point release". It seems for this we need to wait for the _next_ point release. It should become clearer for EU side of the movement also - it is far from certain that Apple to be the one f*cked.

There is a joke from XKCD about "cryptoanalysis" with a 5$ wrench. In the country where I come from there is a joke about another kind of "cryptoanalysis" - thermorectal one. A non-Superman person cannot withstand either

In all these discussions pro or contra existence of Free Will I always miss the "Will" part. If we take Sapolski's definition about a neuron being a causeless cause - ok, this would confirm (or deny) the "Free" part

Technically correct. But if Firefox displays a big red warning when someone's grandma goes to her favourite recipe website, and Safari (or Chrome) just display the website to grandma (and to the officer on duty, but who cares) - how lo

The enforcement mechanism is to warn and then ban non-compliant. There are just too few playeds in the field here. It would take only two major browser development companies to make the world 99% compliant. And the rest is statistical error

Other things aside, the style of war Russia is engaged in has little to do with the lack of (or neglect of or unimportance of) cyber aspect, it has more to do with the fact that Russian officials did not expect a war at all. For them it was

If armed men enter the _correct_ room. And finding that is not as easy as it looks in movies, taking into account the fact that there can be no _the_ room rather than several rooms in different countries. Infantry can get stretched too thin

Last time I dealt with this in Sweden there was a similar form. There was also a form that should certify that the offered salary is not below the "industry level" - which in many industries is set by unions. Also a form that the

Before landlord allows you in they ask for proof of income one way or another. And after you moved in it is quite hard to kick you out unless you misbehave. As for friends: if they asked about your income, you refused to answer and they sti

At work I (usually) write networking software that is (or supposed to be) platform-agnostic. So for my main duty I don't need to know OS APIs and stuff. But I also often troubleshoot different issues when interaction (mainly through so

As it has already been noted in the issue’s comments - this move won’t affect Putin’s supporters (yes, they exist in Russia and they aren’t just a few freaks), it won’t even affect the majority of those living in Russia. The most affected g

From some russian sources I’ve read that Chernobyl has been taken by Belarus soldiers, not russians. Because Belarus guys are sensitive to anything going on around Chernobyl and want to secure the site.
