    I got a 96 and am pleased with that. I have serious concerns about Amazon as a company, they're too big and predatory. I've been using AWS at various companies and have tried to em…

    The EU are working on something like this, it's like USDC but backed and exchanged by the European Central Bank. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/paym/digital_euro/html/index.en.ht...

    I wouldn't be surprised if most software in the world has been chugging along unchanged for decades. I suspect future historians in 1000 years will find pieces of ancient code copi…
