This is cheap self-service hosting, the customer is expected to deal with things like backups themselves. If your business suffers from a single DC going down, it's your fault.

> stern-to mooring to some trees with a Starlink terminal sitting on the beach with an Ethernet cable running out to the boat.

How come? What's the problem with having the Starlink terminal on the boat?

It's not the same for me. I live in Europe, not the Middle East. Very simple.

No matter how evil the Saudis are, their bullshit does not affect me in the same way that Russian actions do.

Do you genuinely believe that the top levels of Russian government care about the people of DPR and LPR?

If you do, then you're a fool.

If you don't, then you're a liar.

How is it hypocritical for Europeans to care about a war in Europe but not about a war in the Middle East?

War in Ukraine directly affects European security and pushes millions of refugees into Europe. The Yemeni conflict obviously does not directly affect Europeans.

Nobody is exposing double standards here. It's simply not hypocrisy to care about the war in Europe, and not care about Saudis killing Yemenis somewhere far away.

This is very obviously not a double standard, as the first one directly affects Europeans in a way which the second one does not.

Even a child can understand why Europeans care about a war in Europe but not about a war in the middle east.

In this particular case there is nothing to communicate that doesn't fit nicely in a tweet.

Only way you could stretch this into an article beyond a headline is by bundling a bunch of unnecessary bullshit.

Perhaps there'll be a comment from Microsoft, they won't say anything useful beyond "No customer information was accessed"

This happens on an almost yearly basis. Source code for ~all major windows releases is actively traded. (Same also goes for Apple, Cisco, etc...) Protecting source code that a huge amount of employees need access to is hard.

Many exploit devs have access to this stuff, but would obviously never publicly discuss it, fearing leaks and liability.

Okay? You know that it would be easy to list probably millions of domains with similar parking pages, right?

> You're very unlikely to be prosecuted for doing this stuff, but it's not that unlikely that you will get wrecked with legal bills reaching that conclusion.

What he's saying seems to be exactly in line with what's happening. Even if the author doesn't end up being found guilty by any court, he'll still be wasting a bunch of money on lawyers.

While it's not nice, it's pretty obvious why European countries are happier to welcome the easily integrated white christian European Ukrainians than the significantly more difficult to integrate Middle Eastern refugees.

Oh also, if you have vollkasko this is very unlikely to ever be an issue unless you were being grossly negligent (e.g. fiddling with the navigation while going 200km/h+), you're covered against "regular" contributory negligence.

I have a really hard time believing that this is true. Assuming you don't have some special insurance, you should be covered on all public roads in the EU as long as you drive according to the laws of those countries.

This is only the case if they can show that the crash occurred due to you driving at an excessive speed. It's by no means the case that getting into a crash on the autobahn going 200km/h automatically means that you're not getting a full payout.

Works in America, but not so well in the old cities of Europe.

There will be more, not less. Everyone who was previously splitting their time between London and Russia will now live full time in London.

Many Russians will also be applying for visas right about now, many of them will be granted.

Or to visit some of the excellent art galleries? Or to eat at some of the wonderful restaurants within a couple of blocks distance?

There should be no need to go after Uber, they probably shouldn't have to be the ones enforcing this. Uber can't verify if the driving license you've provided them is fake or not, at least the cops can do that.

Why should this enforcement be outsourced to Uber?

Less so than people actually driving themselves around the centres of cities.

If I drive myself to somewhere in the centre, my car will sit there using up space while I'm doing my thing. If I use a taxi, the same car that delivered me will serve other people while I'm doing my thing.

Of course it would be even better if I used public transport, but I'm not going to do that because public transport is uncomfortable at best.

IME twitter doesn't care at all about which country your number is from.

Clearly your law enforcement just sucks if these people aren't getting in trouble for driving without a license, no?

Just like you'd get in trouble for driving a car with a motorcycle license.

For commercial airliners carrying hundreds of passengers, yeah.

For small private planes? Slots are hardly ever the limiting factor.

Taxis are more like private jets than Airbuses carrying hundreds of pax.

While taxis aren't as good for society as buses, they still reduce the total amount of car infrastructure required. The slot comparison doesn't seem apt.

Why should their licensing be different than for pilots?

With a private pilots license you can't fly for money, but you can take your friends and family with you.

With a commercial pilots license you can fly for money.

Neither of these are capped, a commercial pilots license just requires slightly more education and experience. Why should licensing for taxis be any different?

Yep, https://www.sec.gov/news/pressreleases?aId=&combine=charges&...

Cryptocurrency is just more trendy so it gets more press release attention.

SMSPVA has thousands of numbers that haven't been used on twitter, it also wont recycle the same numbers for the same service.

What do you mean? Monero is definitely anonymous. Obviously all cryptocurrencies aren't anonymous, but anyone with half a brain can understand that I'm referring to anonymous cryptocurrencies.

Well yeah, kids on IRC (or xbox live) have been hacking big ISPs like comcast and verizon to dox each other since forever.

You can just use a service like SMSPVA, phone verification doesn't break anonymity. It's a reasonable anti-spam measure, you have to burn a tiny amount of cryptocurrency in order to register.

Hard to be anti-porn and not "puritan" in the least.
