Also me, as someone who is living in a place that US may drop bombs on because the models may think it is a military target, or even a higher priority target like a girls school.

Amusingly what you described translates to USA actions if you are from a country in the middle east. For example did you know that there are at least 5M emigrants of Afghanistan in…

Lime is called "limoo Shirazi", meaning Lemon of Shiraz (a city). But you are right that both are usually just called limoo. Limoo Shirin is a rather common fruit here, I didn't ex…

Just today, I received a text message from Google that my account has been disabled. The stated reason is "Spamming". I've been actively using this account as my main email for mor…

It is just normal consumers doing things that are already accepted, even if not explicitly declared. For taking any substantial amount of money out of a bank anywhere in the world,…

The parent mentioned high transaction fees, that for some people may equal their whole savings. For these people, the best option is just to trust the exchange. But people with eve…

As the CTO of a local exchange in Iran, I can confirm that many average people here are using cryptocurrencies for many reasons including countering inflation. We even have farmers…

Access to public repositories was not blocked, so those who wanted to work with open source projects were unaffected. For a while after the GitHub block, many used GitLab. In fact …

Riot (Matrix to be precise) only supports E2E encryption for one to one calls. Group calls are handled by a Jitsi backend and are unavailable in E2E encrypted conversations with mo…

The free tier doesn't include SSL monitoring, but has many other useful free features.

I guess those are Django's default password policies and not specific to this project.

It's not a new problem and MIME was intended to give people the choice. Not everyone likes plain text emails or terminal email clients. The solution may be forcing email senders to…

You really misused the term "coin". In Bitcoin protocol you don't "put value" into something named a "coin". "Wallet" is far more widely used and well-defined.

I haven't checked their TOS, but practically there isn't any limitations in getting certificates from Iranian IPs or for ir domains. If there is any problem, it is that browser ven…

It's unlikely. GitHub hasn't banned Iranian IPs or completely closed Iranian users, but just blocked those users' access to their private repositories and Gists.

From Wikipedia: > The body of water is historically and internationally known as the "Persian Gulf". Some Arab governments refer to it as the "Arabian Gulf" or "The Gulf", but neit…

I agree, but my first impression was that you were talking about the US! I live in Iran and many sites are simply blocked for all people here because of sanctions. I know there are…

No, decentralization is invented alongside the blockchain and nothing without a blockchain is decentralized. :)

Almost all of major exchanges block Iranian users. There are risks, but you can use fake identities, VPNs and such techniques to bypass restrictions. The main problem is converting…

This article seems to be just speculations without any reliable source. Using cryptocurrencies for any meaningful amount of money is impractical for sanctioned countries because of…

Although Signal is not closed-source, they tend to discontinue useful features of their product. For example RedPhone server code has been removed from GitHub after it was disconti…

It is not a regular practice. This year, because of high electricity consumption, working hours was changed to 6:30-13:30 for government organizations. It was in effect for two mon…

I couldn't find any mention of Iran in the references. Did you mean "Indonesia and Iraq"?

Probably not, but expectations change through time - especially if you make such a successful game. Quoting from The Making of Karateka Journals: "February 13, 1982 Scott Barnes fr…
