The easy solution would be to delay the TV signal by as much. This is only a problem during the world cup, and only because your neighbors will yell goal before you can see it. Delay artificially the TV and the problem is gone.

For those not into the whole American exceptionalism thing, you could go with Haiti, whose revolution started in 1791 and where independence and the end of the slavery were fought for at the same time.

True, but other things came about around that time as well, like the United Nations, or the rise of secularism/atheism/laicism, or the fact that the power game changed away from the national-state level (the map does not show the

I come from a Latin country and the history of the Roman Empire is a huge topic in History classes. And I definitely learned about Trajan and knew that the Roman Empire reached its territorial peak under him, plus he has a good reputation a

We tend to recognize the names that were involved in large territorial gains or losses (in other words, war). Probably for the average commoner, living in one of those boring kingdoms with a now-forgotten ruler was a much better deal.

I'm Brazilian, and I was curious. So I just did the placement test (in English), completed all the questions correctly and was placed at level 11, with a few gray bubbles at the end of the tree. I got all the questions correctly, but:

IANAL but I believe the GDPR is tolerant of incidental traffic. So if an European accesses a local job board in South Korea, the EU will not go after the Korean company and demand compliance. Now if said Korean company is running a job boar

Another data point: I used to buy servers in Hetzner's auction by the dozens per month. It's very common that the servers will crash and need new HDDs or RAM. I never had a problem with support, but soon learned to treat those ser

I'm guessing it's mostly automated. Are you being used by a popular software package that you know of?

The explanation is at least slightly dishonest (hopefully not intentionally) in claiming that jurisdiction was established due to content being available in German, which makes it sound like a whacko court claiming to own a language. Readin

What happens when your trusted code gets exploited? That's also the reason why we have overhead in the form of ACLs, memory protection, ASLR, packet filtering, deprivileged processes, seccomp sandboxes, etc. even though in principle we

While I don't disagree that speculation is the primary use case, I think the criminal side is way overstated. I use Bitcoin monthly to pay bills in my origin country, and I do it because the banks there suck and transfering money is bu
