Creem is just a MoR layer on top of Stripe. Not really an EU alternative.

>A warning to auth engineers: if an account is using a Gmail address, then auth codes from Google Authenticator should not be considered a second factor.

Incredible take. I don't know what's worse here — suggesting gmail address = google authenticator, thinking you can know the source of "auth codes", or the fact this is coming from an auth engineer. I'm switching to handwritten HMACs on paper napkins today.

Nowadays it seems more of a coping mechanism for fading relevance rather than respecting the actual competence.

IMO, PM2.5 sensors are essential nowadays. What's the point of a device without one? Especially for $229. I can get a chinese thingy like qingping for ~$115 with PM2.5 and other stuff.

They will happily oblige and put your review down if the host asks nicely. Happened to me, happened to my friends. Also they don’t care a bit about fake obvious reviews. Not like “not actively monitoring”, like telling you idk if you care to report it.

Sure, but the shorting happened in 2022, when Musk wasn't clowning nearly as hard as now. Unless Gates has a time machine, this argument doesn't really stick.

>DNS is fundamentally broken

Is it? Seems to be working as intended. Don't like a specific resolver? Cool, switch to another. Or run your own.

The problem is entities like Cloudflare trying to centralize the internet, DNS included, not the protocol itself.

>ultimate

Who knows? Maybe when and if that happens, civilizations will be advanced enough to try to reverse this: manipulating the local Higgs field, pocket universes, and counter-decay waves

It's hard to take him seriously or consider him a good guy. While advocating for the environment, he doesn't hesitate to short tesla, an EV company (questionable nature aside).

There are two possible reasons for this (the 'why' remains -- not enough money?):

- He's admitting he doesn't care about the environmental mission, just the returns

- He thinks tesla is a fraud, but isn't saying it publicly

Either way, it's sus, so it's tough to trust him.

Agreed, pretty meh. Tried my usual accent (the one where natives mostly can’t tell where I'm from) — got 78%. Then went full cartoon russian ‘bad neighborhood’ mode — somehow scored 68%.

> you might get dangerous X-ray and gamma ray emissions from its accretion disc

There’s not enough matter nearby to feed it enough to form an accretion disc

> we could send probes to orbit it

Hitting a cm-sized black hole orbit at a lunar distance sounds insanely hard, given it’s invisible (even with occasional lensing).
