So in reality you didn't have two systems.

otherwise you would have shut down operations until you had another connection live, so you had 2 online connections.

That would require them to actually have studied that field in university in a masters degree (or PhD) like researchers have.

Very few journalists have. Some journalists are good, many are talking heads.

also some 3rd party libraries are overdesigned/overcomplicated because everybody wants the library to do everything for everybody.

This overcomplication can easily introduce security problems that is not present in the 1K solution.

So using an HSM in the first place is a security theater. Or that this HSM isn't really an HSM since it allows for export of the private key.

The trusted enclave in a MacBook is more secure than this HSM.

Don't they even test script changes on a staging server? How could there be such a script error in production that was not caught in testing/staging?

This sounds very like a fundamental organization error, not an innocent whoopsie. It should lead to a permanent ban of the organization.

They are only simple when you have no restrictions on which dates that can be selected.

But a date picker for a hotel, airplane travel, restaurant, ... might have to show some days as disabled or some days that are "cheap offer" dates.

To this add anything that needs to select an interval, like an airplane return ticket.

Denmark had peak coal early (2003) due to early investments in wind power. Coal is now practically gone.

We might see China get the same shift in electricity source as Denmark had over the past 20 years, just much faster.

The article is written like it assumes the Nokia HQ was next door to Apple/Google.

There is another type of insider trading: If an engineer had stayed at Nokia but bought a lot of shares in Apple after Apple launched the iPhone, would that still be considered insider trading when the engineer did not have any non-public information about Apple, only in which way the general market was moving?

A lot of people laughed at smart phones in 2007-2010, the market majority did not value them and did not predict Apple's stock would grow.

I cannot recommend this enough, including writing down almost every day about symptoms and progress. I didn't have cancer, something else, but it was very valuable to be able to go back and see exactly how long time a symptom has been present and when it disappeared.

Doctors also seem to react well to being able to be precise in descriptions of what happened when.

It also makes it much more difficult to create personal browser extensions as all css names are now unreadable.

At one point the US had 17 small bases in Greenland. Almost all have been abandoned by the USA on its own initiative.

Look at this map: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Former-US-air-bases-in-G...

Today there is only the small Thule/Pituffik base.

The US has closed the bases because they make no sense with modern military and satellites.

Britain is often suffering high prices, likely due to lack of capacity in connections with the mainland EU.

ZX Spectrum in 1982 cost $200 ($692 today) for 16 KB model and had a 48K model for 40% more.

It was the difference between affordable and unaffordable for many people.

It is missing the equivalent of the "history" in e.g. browsers and YouTube.

If a user dismisses an alertbox on desktop, why isn't there an history menu item that shows the previous 100 alert messages?

For some multi-country companies it makes sense to have all admin pages in English no matter the underlying OS language. Imagine sending a screenshot where the OS date format is different from what everybody else expects from an English page.

Today x86 hardware is super reliable and unneeded complexity in the software stack is the main source of problems.

It also utilizes the space extremely inefficiently. Single level single family houses everywhere and the rest is parking space. The few parks are difficult to access by kids arriving by foot/bike.

This is what results in the high rent: Can't grow supply and don't use existing land efficiently.

Density: LA = 8,210/sq mi, Lisbon = 17,040/sq mi, Paris = 10,100/sq mi, Amsterdam = 13,670/sq mi, Copenhagen = 19,195/sq mi. (from wikipedia)

Look at Google Street maps: LA is a hellscape of concrete and asfalt. Lisbon and Amsterdam are much nicer and greener and they stil have higer density.

If 64 bit isn't enough, then very quickly 128 is also not enough.

If precision is important then you will very often want systems that represent every number as an interval [a, b] meaning that the true value is between those 2 numbers. This makes you able to detect loss of precision due to e.g. d = a / (b - c) where b-c can result in a number close to zero which makes uncertainty grow. If you use this formula iteratively then precision is lost completely no matter how many bits there are in your floating point variables.
