This is the biggest SNTPings event to date, with a whopping 1.6Tbps of bandwith for our receiver. To achieve this, our receiver hosts are hosted in Nikhef and the uplinks are provided by Nikhef and SURF.

On Windows, ChatGPT is now known as ChatGPT Classic, and Codex is now known as ChatGPT (Beta).
It is, many people are hungry for GPT-5.6, considering it is supposed to be Fable class, with lower costs. Many Claude users were ready to jump ship.

Re:Cash payments above €3000 to be outlawed in Netherlands on Wednesday August 23, 2023 @04:58PM (#37241783)
There is a somewhat famous case in Germany, where an elderly couple's house got sold without them knowing, because someone changed the paper deed, and some scummy business man confirmed that he got the money in cash.

They better introduce systems like this in Germany too, but they rather drown in mafia related crime than admitting that their analog way of doing business and clinging on to cash is a mistake.

concerning how most second level comments get played by WSS. The quality of comments here on HN has declined horribly :(
StackOverflow is completely selling out to some Ripple shills, disgusting.

Re:EU-wide maximum limit of €10K for cash payments on Saturday December 10, 2022 @08:53PM (#33939188)
That too, isn't allowed by European law. :-)
Making it sound like you can get this rate for Euros by saying in EU is dishonest.

You should mention for which currency this holds, not mention a whole continent.

I have spent more than 10’000 hours in DotA 2. You do not get banned for a single game no matter how bad you perform.

It has to be on a very regular basis, and even then you probably first get put into low priority matchmaking as your behavior score drops. Banning accounts usually only applies to cheats or buying and selling accounts.

Wrong. Germany for example is known [0] for money laundering through properties, because big cash purchases hardly ever get reported.

Hi!

Very interesting service, but sadly I cannot sign up for a trial, due to not possessing a US telephone number, which for some reason is required. That said I am a researcher at an Internet measurement and security group. Any chances for a cooperation?

The iOS client for OneDrive integrates quite well with macOS. A lot better than iCloud for Windows actually.

If you have an iOS device, you can force the app store to refresh and update Telegram. Then once updated, in the app under settings, you can select Telegram Premium and pay with Apple Pay

Looking at the in-app purchase on iOS in Europe, the price seems to be about EUR 5.50 which I find to be quite steep, for these kinds of features. I've been wanting to support TG's development for a while now, but I would have hoped that this would be more in the vicinity of 1-3 Euros per month.
Re:Bitcoin Falls Below $20k on Saturday June 18, 2022 @08:28AM (#31789231)
Because:

a.) we are not at pre-corona levels yet and

b.) most of the highly valued companies which are publicly tradable will continue to provide value to the world or their customers, contrary to the crypto crap.

Then why did the US gov. go after the people from Liberty Reserve?

I understand that the whole concept of committing crime was a bit clearer in LR than it is in Tether, but Tether sounds like what LR would have been, after they learned from their mistakes?

Compare your result, with the end result seen here [1]. It is a completely different color as well as texture.
