How would a law stop criminals from using encrypted applications without sharing private keys with gov? Shootings, pedophiles, drugs, terror etc should definetly be higher on the scale than hosting an illegal application.

In addition to this, how do they expect to implement this for non-EU companies? The DNS blockades that are already going on today are less than efficient.

You’re also importing tons of renewable energy from scandinavia. Sweden for example exported 39TWh in 2022 alone - which of a majority is renewable energy.

And in addition to this, if you’d build the new energy sources based on coal, things would of course just get worse while implementing renewables doesn’t increase emissions in the same fashion.

I agree, whenever other senior / mid-level employees quit you’ll have to pickup the slack as it’s hard to find the right competences - specially at a discounted rate.

Personally I did manage to get promoted, but not before giving notice.

When looking at my employer - they’re enforcing a 3/2 hybrid model during the last 6 months. Before that more or less everybody worked from home 100%.

During the WFH period we had more deployments & less incidents than ever. In addition we had less sick leaves (due to tolerance being higher when WFH). Yet - the leadership is ignoring this and enforcing the hybrid model.

Not sure where your kids attend but where we have ours it’s ok for them to take pictures and upload to a private portfolio only available to individual kids parents.

Then there’s a blog where pictures are allowed for kids where the parents pre-approved that they could upload to the blog (available to all parents).

However, yes - parents aren’t allowed to take pictures - of kids other than yours.

Not sure what you’re interested in. But efnet, freenode & quakenet has been the major networks over time. Some channels may require registration though. You can start with a client like mirc, textual or irssi.

What about the fed buying bonds? This has been going on for a long time and the only people who profits from this is people in debt since it keeps the interests down.

This in turn makes other people willing to pay more for whatever person x invested in with the accumulated debt, since debt is cheap and backed by the gov, people today rarely see it is a risk anymore.

Technically depending on traffic and road conditions it’s possible to get there faster in a supercar than a heli. It may however not be the safest option.

Fact is though, it doesn’t matter much where in the world you’re looking to buy. If it’s a capital you’re expected to pay close to $1m or more for a house, even in places like Beirut where the houses don’t have central water, electricity/internet infrastructure is extremely poor. Prices are the same. This in a moment in time when the majority of people barely can afford food due to the pandemic and financial meltdown that has occurred.

The main reason behind it all is the low costs of taking on debt, which in some scenarios is totally insane. Italy for example that has been bailed out several times can get rates around 1%. What kind of entity would accept the risk of default when the profit is close to none after inflation?

The world is obviously in a debt bubble - the question is only when it will pop & how dramatically it will happen.

Why wouldn't it be possible to have a similar system in a car as in a rocket? The manufacturer could easily rack up 3 somewhat cheap compute nodes to validate the outputs. This really shouldn't be much more than $10k extra - for the end consumer. And the fact that a lot of cars sell for $100k or more this cost should be negligible for self-driving capabilities.

With the app you can also change the cancellation level, they’re pretty isolated even with the feature powered off entirely but it helps out in some situations.
