Dang we're getting old ey?

Age verification requires identity verification once — but it doesn't require revealing your identity ever to a third party. With FHE (fully homomorphic encryption), identity data is encrypted on your device and never leaves it in plaintext. Not to the merchant, not to us as the verification service — nobody. We only compute on encrypted data and return a yes/no. I'm building this at identified.app

"Uber but for nailcare on Blockchain". I'm laughing but I'm not sure if I should be crying. Thanks for the laugh!

So confused when I read invincibility cloak.

There's https://refraction.network/ but I am not sure how feasible that is at the moment (or at all). I came across it when researching some TLS stuff in golang (programming language).

Maybe one should revise those thoughts. Apparently all of us will have issues with cow's milk. Some of us just have problems with even small amounts.

At least this is what our specilist at the hospital explained to us.

Here in the Netherlands there's a huge incentive to move to heatpumps (subsidies and whatnot). I believe most of those (if not all) that are being installed have a defrosting mode which is automatically activated. I have seen mine defrosting in the last few days since it's finally below zero (celsius).

Someone who insults your tech stack. Oh no sorry that's a technology insultant.

"If the role of the WHO is to stave off pandemics and not just to monitor them". Not really no.

While yes, they also completely lose track if the white lines on the road aren't available.

While I mostly agree, I do switch to Chrome every once in a while when the javascript stacktrace in FFdev is a bit unclear. Chrome usually seems to be a bit better. But I always switch right back to FF.

Hah, you made me think of this: "what's really going to bake your noodle later on is would you still have broken it if I wouldn't have said anything".

We are not free to end our own life when you feel you had enough. There's laws for that. But yes, I'll reflect on my options whether or not I'll have that chemo when I'm in my sixties/seventies.

Reading the article beyond the second paragraph actually affirms kinda what you're saying. I guess I shot straight into a kneejerk reaction on the subtitle 'extending the human lifespan' :)

I am 100% for a (more) healthy life. I have no interest in 'extending my lifespan' except for the 'few' extra years that the healthy life might bring.

Hah good one. On the other hand, medical possibilities will be increasing way beyond what we'll be able to afford.

From the point of view of economics maybe. Switching professions can be done in a current lifespan and is not done very often. I don't see people changing just because their life is extended. I just don't understand people's fixation on having a longer life. Seems to me people just keep looking at the horizon to bring them what they want and they forget what's right in front of them.

What makes people think we want to have them around any longer? To extend life is to decrease it's value. Simple economics tells us it's inflation.

edit: I think Neil deGrasse Tyson says it a lot better than me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3G9LOJZTmM

Such a shame the subtitle of the article is all about quantity. Quality of life far outweighs quantity, but this subtitle probably serves better as clikckbait.

The real solution would be for companies to start giving a shit to whom they hire and put some effort into finding them.

Did you miss that Intel's stopped developing the Xeon Phi's?

well yeah not really. it's a bit of a long read but it comes down to whom you ask. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/246902-intel-claims-th...

There's a lot of people in the world running around telling people all kinds of things.

Would a maven like repository possibly be a solution to this problem? Simply have dependencies to binary files/artifacts distributed by Nexus?

Sorry for your loss. But at least he cleared his conscience. Sorry he had to go through the stress as well. It might take decades, but they will reap what they sow.

Those participating quite often love the unaccountability the bureaucracy provides them. Hiding behind a procedure is often preferred as to being out there making a difference. The indifference some people show, especially here in my country, to this bureaucracy is astounding. Makes my blood boil. Which might be the reason I'm having difficulty discussing it with them.

If you were in that position of power and had this article published you might not be doing such a great job. Streisand effect maybe?

Since this article I have, which was in the making for some time already, switched from Chrome to Firefox with duckduckgo as my main search engine. Added Disconnect and Ublock origin as well. And yes I realize it doesn't help against NSA tracking of a certian magnitude.

What really puzzles me is the response or lack thereof of those agencies' testimony, if that's what's they're called, during the Congressional hearings. They basically stated that their ratings were nothing more then opinions. And still they're being taken seriously.
