Don’t forget to drink a verification can.
Sit in front of the TV like a zombie because I’m too tired to do anything else.
I'm more worried about AV software. Code that also needs to be able to parse a large number of file formats, opens every file that enters your computer through one of many pathways, and generally runs at a high…
That’s the problem with these new weight loss drugs. Ultimately they work by reducing food intake. For many people food is one of the few things in life that gives them some form of joy. I won’t ever take any drug that…
> Not true. The device's public key is also sent, which functions as a stable device identifier. This is covered by allowing for single-use credentials. IIRC the EU personal IDs will use this. Basically, the wallet…
> Also it sounds like the remote operation hardware and software are provided by him As a backyard astrophotographer, this hardware and software is pretty much standard even if you don’t send your equipment to a remote…
The Dutch electric grid is owned and operated by a few companies that are heavily regulated by the ACM (Authority for Consumer and Markets). Those companies have been wanting to invest in upgrading the grid for many…
DigiD is a government project. It's owned and operated by Logius, which is a government-owned entity. Logius outsourced the hosting and infrastructure to Solvinity.
The thing with Apple products is that they may not be the best at every single spec but they usually have the best overall package. You can find a laptop that is better in one aspect, but it will be worse in others.
Maybe that’s a reasonable commute to the US mind who isn’t used to work/life balance and likes spending unpaid hours in their car losing precious time with their family. For me, a reasonable commute is a 10 minute bike…
I still haven’t read Raising Steam. One last time to experience a new Discworld novel, I’m saving it for a rainy day.
> we show that cyclic voltammetry can be used without any additional sample preparation Even if it offered no additional data over a refractometer just the fact can be used directly without any sample preparation would…
Exactly, so that problem needs to be solved. Labour and income should not be linked.
> What AI is being sold as right now is not really productivity. In many domains, productivity is already sufficient. What’s being sold is workforce reduction. And workforce reduction is a nobel goal. In fact, I think…
I’m missing Curly’s Law: https://blog.codinghorror.com/curlys-law-do-one-thing/ “A variable should mean one thing, and one thing only. It should not mean one thing in one circumstance, and carry a different value from a…
I don’t know this specific law, I just know how it works in the EU with the GDPR. Of course any company that has your PII has to follow the law, but it matters which entity is the one that has is the end customer for…
Yes, I’m a huge proponent of global unification. It’s ridiculous that we have different cultures, languages and laws based on between which imaginary lines on a map you live. Countries make no sense to me. Look at the…
It’s the other way around. Flock is the subprocessor for whoever hired them to collect data. If they are collecting data on behalf a city or municipality, those are the entities you need to address.
I’m a Dutch native and if it were up to me we’d switch to English. I think it’s dumb that small country like us feels the need to maintain its own language. It is a massive disadvantage. It means that we’re always late…
Exactly. This need to be social is being used against us. Not just to sell yoghurt, it’s weaponized by the social media networks to manipulate entire countries.
To learn, to create, to grow? None of these things necessarily involve other humans.
Every time I read an article about people trying to solve the 'loneliness epidemic' I can't help but wonder if we're not trying to solve the wrong problem. Maybe the solution should not be sought in trying to increase…
The problem with a $200 laptop is that you get a laptop that's worth $200.
I can't remember where I read it, but it always stuck with me: most cases of depression can be solved with a one-time deposit of $20 million in the patient's bank account. A lot of the time, what is diagnosed as…
Ever done BlackBerry development? It’s so funny when people complain about the $99 fee for the Apple development program being developer-unfriendly. Back in the day, RIM/BlackBerry wasn’t so much developer-unfriendly as…
