Have you met Brittons? Especially the kind that typically go on package holidays to Spain?

How do you figure? If the ledger isn't readable then it wouldn't be auditable, and if it's readable then you can sell votes.

Honestly I'm not even sure what problem a blockchain would be solving here, what's the design goal?

I tried using Firefox for a mapping tool a few months ago and it cheerfully gobbled up 34GB of RAM before I killed it. Neither Chrome nor Edge suffered the same memory leak, so I think there's still some work to be done!

Nope, wrong on all counts, but thanks for playing.

Erring on the side of maintaining the privacy of strangers is always better than the alternative.

If they tried to hire enough mods to do a quality job of it they'd be bankrupt by the end of the year. I don't know if they'll have enough capable volunteers for a significant fraction of the subreddits.

Twitch is hardly a profit center, streaming isn't where you'd go to boost profits.

YouTube premium is pretty reasonably priced if you consume a lot of content on there. I probably consume a minimum of 12 hours every week not including music, so I feel I'm paying a fair price.

Premium more than covers costs, with a reasonable profit margin included. That's what it really costs to host and serve that much data.

Hi all! Couple of decades in IT, from helpdesk up to both Senior Consultant as well as IT Director. I really enjoy both the technical aspects of the job as well as developing junior employees and have wandered back and forth between both types of roles.

I read once a long time ago (Might have been one of Tay's threads?) that operational excellence was 90% of security, and really took that to heart. My clients and employers have generally been SMBs, so real security wins have often been stuff like "Hey what if the computers had passwords on them?" or "We're no longer keeping everyone's passwords in a big Excel sheet", but over time those have added to to some decent defense. I'm always looking to grow beyond the basics, and hope that this community can be part of that journey!
