I have genuinely met people who claim that ads are helpful and interesting and used this as a justification for adware companies to stalk you every step you take on the web.

As long as all people are paying for your dumb decisions, it is reasonable to expect the government to reduce the frequency of dumb decisions by adequate means.

fwiw, we also have entire staff dealing with SSO issues among our employees and users, despite relying on external services to handle auth.

A problem domain as complex as authentication is bound to habe issues of some sort. But I am not sure if I would be so fond of „outsourcing“ something as integral to my services as the access to these services

In Graz, the city where the authors live, there are 165 of such signals planned.

The authors of this project also shared that they intend on publishing more around this project. This seems to be mostly an early demo that was intended for the live event.

Many people instinctively attribute this rise in colon cancer to diet products, almost pretending as if it is the only thing that has meaningfully changed over the past 40 years or so. Others like to point to changing consumption habits in people drinking more sugary beverages.

It is almost as if everyone is projecting their personal believes into this. But the truth seems frustratingly simple: we really just do not know yet

Hetzner is an oldschool German company, it is not surprising to see them act this way. They are very profitable (165M Euro in 2024) and have very little debt. They also seem to be mostly bootstrapped and are not VC funded

This is a problem I've run into enterprise deployments. K8s is often the lowest common denominator semi small platform engineering teams arrive on. At my current employer, a platform managed K8s namespace is the only thing we got in terms of PaaS offering, so it is what we use. Is it overpowered? Yes. Is it overly complex for our usecase? Definitely. Could we basically get by hosting our services on a few cheap mini computers with no performance penalty? Also yes.

Yes, and that is in fact done. However, there it is still a bad deal with negative electricity prices.

> Isn't cheaper electeicity a good thing for the manufacuring industry?

It technically is, but its not as simple as that. Industrial manufacturing is a relatively steady load, which means the consumption is constant. The lowest prices do not matter all that much, the average price does. And that average price is relatively high here, even for industrial consumers.

- lost many airpods - wired tends to be cheaper than wireless equivalents

It can be very simple

Microsoft would be ruined, haha. Over the past week, I had about a 30% chance of the call not working and a a 80% chance of the screenshare not working
