I think that's only because the story is from 2006 so blockchain was not a thing, yet.

I read Software Lead Weekly: https://softwareleadweekly.com/

It’s mostly about interesting links on management, company culture, or software development.

> 30 days : But only 40 browsers out of the 10774 observed browsers (<0.01 %) have exactly the same fingerprint as yours.

Updated iPhone Safari. En locale. I have hard time believing it's that unique.

Half the websites I visit give me the CloudFlare screen like

    One more step
    Please complete the security check to access <whatever>.

Followed by either endless stream of ReCaptchas or one completely impossible.

Cloudflare is also making TOR quite useless.

This is a standard iOS pattern. Agreed that it's all but intuitive but that's how iOS is these days.

Swiss :-) . Cryptosphere Systems.

At my company, engineers dedicate 10% of their work time to open source contributions outside of our core products. They are quite free to pick any project they want, as long as it benefits our particular community.

Why do we do this?

* It's a great perk for engineers. They contribute under their "personal" profiles, improving their own karma.

* Growth of the community we come from lifts everyone, including the company as a whole.

* We are grateful for what we get for free, and want to contribute back.

* It's a nice argument when hiring.

* It's a great way to skill up in the underlying technology.

* It teaches about collaboration and the softer skills needed to get PRs merged.

* It gives people to touch technologies they wouldn't learn on the job itself.

The article literally starts with this: "It is sold as a force that can help us cope with the ravages of capitalism..."

For a more meaningful discussion of mindfulness, I recommend the "Mind The Mindfulness Hype" episode of The Psychology Podcast [1] . They dig into what the scientific method has to say to mindfulness, what studies have been made and what is missing, and what benefits can be realistically expected. And what's over the top hype.

I'm in Europe. Eggs from supermarkets are not washed. I do store them in a fridge anyway. They get spoiled after a few weeks or months regardless. So much for "There really isn't a debate."

I'm very skeptical that you're tracing Monero. Unless you've broken ed25519, that is. In which case, you have better things to do than crack minor cryptocurrency transactions...

Or deployment.

As far as our current understanding goes, yes. But it looked very different in the first billion years.

You could have a look at Standard Notes. It has a self-hosted version, Markdown support through a plugin, end to end encryption, and it syncs across devices. I use the "regular" service that syncs over their servers, but the self-hosted version should work, too.

That's exactly the problem with cancer. You know - vaccination causes cancer! Allows you to live long enough to die of cancer. :-)

Matomo can work with the logs only if needed. Providing all the benefits like respecting user privacy and working around ad blockers.

Yup, Year of the Devil.

It's a joke from a movie. No science here.

Nah. That's not AI enough!

Bytecoin is a scam, whereas Monero is at least pretending to be a well-behaved open-source project. Also, there was a ton of innovations since the fork.

USD taken over by GBP? I'm curious, and I don't know enough of the history. Could you provide some details, please?

This is what a company where I work does. 10% of developer time (half a day a week) to open-source contributions outside of the company direct products. As long as it helps the broader community we're a part of.

I'm just trying to be the best husband and dad in the world. Having children is not the end of the world. On the contrary, it's a super challenge that lets a ton of our personality to shine through.

How on Earth are hotel discounts related to cloud storage?

When there's multiple flickering LEDs in the same room, they create interference. So even if we don't notice a single one flickering, when all of them go from black to full at the same time, and this happens 20x a second, we can notice that.

Here in the Czech Republic, and I believe it's similar in most of Europe, several months of no-questions-asked guarantees for mattresses are very common. This is different from warranty (common to be 25 years).

By many people, yes. And here in Europe, it's even so much worse (right to be forgotten, all kinds of hate speech, etc.)

Diesel cars are taxed more. Yet diesel itself is subsidized. So there is a huge transfer of money where the payers and recipients are the same, only allowing plenty of money get lost in the friction (it's not the common folks who profit).

Driving old vehicles is taxed more. So people who can only afford old vehicles are paying subsidies to those who can buy a new Tesla. This is possibly the single most asocial rule in the world, and I'm honestly shocked that we have this in Europe that's otherwise reasonably socially aware.

Care to share a spoiler? :-)

Rest assured that there certainly wasn't any democratic majority pushing this. EU is exceptionally good in hiding the regulatory capture.
