I think your argument falls short when we consider the compulsion that drives most onto these metaphorical cattle trucks at rush hour in the first place. The employment industry in…

I think it's due to many power banks being so shitty that the chance of them catching fire in normal operation is not insignificant. From the EASA guidelines on lithium batteries (…

You shouldn’t and, at least in Europe, any kind of spare battery is forbidden in checked luggage. You also shouldn’t use power banks at all during flight.

Well, Paypal has been around for longer and works across the world, which explains some of it. But I question the accuracy of these stats - I would expect to see SEPA wires and dir…

It's paywalled for me. Are UK customers' funds SAFU?

What customer information did you store with that provider? Just names and emails, or was there anything else that attackers may have been able to access?

Capital gains tax in Sweden is 30% and property tax is around 0.75% IIRC. I don't think they are that low - they're higher than most of Europe in fact. And VAT is a double-edged sw…

Happy new year! I hope 2023 brings peace to your country.

I use G Suite nowadays, but I used to self-host up until a couple years ago. Mailcow is (or at least was) pretty nice and reliable: https://github.com/mailcow/mailcow-dockerized

On a similar note, temperatures in ºC would also be useful. Great website though!

I'm Portuguese and can confirm this works pretty well overall. It's still too strict though - I got convicted of essentially "possession with intent to distribute" just for having …

I think it depends on the subreddit. E.g. this is archived: https://old.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/hmoabi/ive_designed...

Yeah, but it's much worse in Portugal, especially Lisbon. Here are some median home price to median income ratios for various cities (from Numbeo: https://www.numbeo.com/property-i…

While you raise some good points this a very politically biased opinion, and in some points also completely deceptive - e.g. our infant mortality is 8x lower than in 1982: https://…

We already tax vacant property up to 12 times the regular tax when located in high demand areas[1] which includes all of Lisbon municipality. It's definitely had some effect as you…

Does anyone have any recommendations for legit companies that provide proxies from ASNs not marked as datacenter/proxy? I need some for web scraping, but all the ones I've found so…

Almost everyone on this earth likes boobs - those who have them and those who don't - so I reckon they (like me) just hate that the company uses sex and other scummy tactics to sel…

Should people who wouldn't like to work for e.g. George Bush have pressured their companies to stop operating in the US? After all, they were effectively accepting and complying wi…

Cool article! The Golden Gate is so iconic that Portugal contracted American companies to build a similar one in Lisbon and painted it the same color: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…

Interesting. What's the point in differentiating between pedestrians and cyclists? Is it an attempt at preventing suicide for non-bikers?
