Since you obviously ignorant of how it works. When you get a degree you get a transcript where all local grades are translated to to ECTS, which you then would use to apply for job…

Other than this questionable browser CA thing, do you think there are any specific flaws with the crypto system presented in eIDAS.

University grades are standardised already. This is useful because it allows people to work in other countries, digitally signing them prevents fraud. This is just one use case for…

Generally your refusing to answer can be used against you, ensuring that you are properly represented of course isn't

I mean the whistleblower (even if anonymous) probably ends their career by doing it. 30mm might not be worth it for a high-level exec so to me it makes sense to have it uncapped.

Seems similar to the GDPR, which IMO has been a huge success. I'm sorry that it will hurt your quarter of a million dollar pay checks. Here we value consumer protection and that's …

Speaking of, does anybody have a Bluesky invite and feel like sharing?

I don't mean to be rude but certain aspects of Russian Culture make authoritarian rule inevitable. Some of has to do with Orthodox religious values and some of it has to do with pe…

It seems to me central to the character of British imperialism, that the domination of geopolitically important region is pursued not because of some inert ethnocentrism but becaus…

I think the maximalist interpretation of copyright as it applies to software is dying out. Just as the phrase "Once upon a time" certainly isn't copyrightable its equivalents in so…

I've used Hasura for a couple of projects but I feel somehow and sooner rather than later, a requirement shows up that you an't really solve with Hasura. I don't mean oh this is a …

Absolute game changer, other actors in this market have big bulky sales processes with difficult pricing models and high commitment. If Stripe is competitive on pricing they will d…
