Do you have a source for this? I find it very interesting and would like to understand how exactly that would work. I assume it has something to do with some genetic distance between people and triangulating.

I think semicolon separated files should be named SSV

Absolutely no mystery why you are banned when you call for the death of a group of people.

Hard disks may fragment when one tries to compact them. It will need to be defragmented afterwards.

Softer disks are more amenable to be compressed into compact disks, floppy ones work best.

I don't really understand the obsession the Epstein files. We all know what's in there, and we all know what's going to happen if they get released, that is: nothing will happen.

In the EU it is actually 114€ per arm

They also show you how much API calls cost you incurred, which is nice. That way I know how much of my donation only offsets what I use and how much I actually donate to development

This goes further than just pirated entertainment. Think of patents. "Nice chip you have there Apple, would be a shame if it were public domain now."

The US' most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don't need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.

To be fair, we mostly have examples of how free trade reduces prices. But this reduction in prices usually wasn't instantaneous and perceivable by ordinary folks. Because corporations wouldn't hand out the savings to consumers until the very slow market force of competition forced them to. Tariffs will make everything more expensive and even if they are eventually culled, stuff will not become suddenly cheap again.

At least the desktop app of proton shows you the state or even city where the server is located. For Germany I can even choose between Frankfurt and Berlin for example. I know that for us servers I was able to specifically choose New York.

Edit: In the android app you can go to countries then tap the three dots next to united states and select a state to connect to.
