Does AISLER[1] do the same thing as pcbway? They seem to be based in Germany/EU

Thanks for your answer! Makes me curious how do you defend against people simply bruteforcing or guessing the account numbers.

This intrigued me and I topped up an account. Is there no password? Anyone could "steal" my account number and kick me out?

Except in the case of rt.com it's completely justified

> There are plenty of dual citizens that would proudly admit that their first loyalty is to Israel.

Plenty of dual citizens that are not Israeli citizens and would admit the same thing, but we don't go around throwing such accusations at them.

> this example seems to apply to accusing any individual.

Does it? It would be accusing the individual just because they are part of a certain group.

I'm excited to try this out! (seems to have some bandwidth issues, currently downloading at 24KB/s)

Is SSO implemented or planned in the near future? I feel that colanode would be a great fit for our start-up

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t a jammer be very easy to disable kinetically?

A missile would simply have to follow the jammer’s signal.

I use Kagi search + Instant Answer. Instant Answer is most often giving me the result I am looking for.

No, they only need to start using versioning in order to adopt versioning. Think of an "initial git commit"

These kind of questions get ironed out during accession negotiations I think.

> But while it sounds good on the surface, it doesn't take much digging to show it's silly. If you store any kind of data about a visitor to make their life more convenient, is that tracking? Shopping carts? Notification preferences? etc.

A tracking warning a login/sign up would be enough. No need to ask for cookie consent at every visit. It would just be part of the typical T&C.

> It's actually a bit ironic to ask visitors if it's ok to track them. If they say no, you have to track them to at least remember that choice. Easily solved with a cookie that says "don't track". If cookie is set, don't track anything.

New comment by plextoria in "ASML may be looking to leave the Netherlands"

plextoria — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 08:19:55 +0000

"Prevent" is a strong word. I would say that the best thing EU can do is facilitate conditions that would encourage ASML to stay home. Something obviously isn't going well if ASML can't expand within NL/EU and putting any further restrictions would scare businesses off.

> Does XNU have such namespacing functionality across all its interfaces?

I don't think so, but some Docker features could be implemented using XNU sandboxing AFAIK

> Furthermore, the existing container ecosystem assumes a Linux syscall interface. [1]. Does macOS provide that? I expect not.

This project is about running macOS containers on macOS. It's not about running Linux containers.

What happened to simply using the verb “search”? Or phrases like “look it up”? It shouldn’t really matter (typical conversation) which search engine a person is using.

Maybe some countries are that much better at sports because they invest money into it? Facilities, medics, training, athlete development programs etc.
