@freemo @kravietz I did a full write up on why graphs like this are really misleading:
https://battlepenguin.com/tech/fighting-with-the-data/
The TL;DR is that 3 months of time series data != 12 months of some other non-time series data. But real the post for a more detailed explanation.
@dump_stack But I wouldn't be 100% sure about it *not* being serious...

How to store data forever

Note this is early research, but very interesting:
"DNA is just the ingredient list, not the set of instructions used to build and maintain a living organism. The instructions, he says, are much more complicated, and they're stored in the molecules that regulate a cell's DNA and other functioning systems"

Hitachi HDD 4 TB drives should have much better MTBF than Seagate and have decent transfers... but man, they' re noisy like a tractor!
Just testing two really great infrastructure security products Wallarm and Vulners.com. At @webcookies I've been using Vulners API for years, but now I've actually implemented the server-side scanner. Wallarm has a WAF (testing soon) but also a really cool DAST scanner.
Well, in Eastern Europe we have seen 100x more corruption before 1989. You had to pay a bribe to get a fucking sausage 😂
@nikolal In an ideal world that would be simple business calculation - in some cases it makes sense to attract foreign companies - even if they don't pay corporate tax directly, they pay salaries, social insurance, VAT etc.
Eastern Europe benefited a lot from foreign investments and I remember how devoid of any investments it was in early 90's. Obviously, this "tax honeymoon" shouldn't last forever and doesn't make any sense in developed economies.
This is where corruption comes...
@nikolal Absolutely yes. I can't even imagine how a company registered outside of country X can come and ask for bailout from that country but I guess they just use subsidiaries. Or maybe the bailout should be limited to the amount of income tax paid.

Facebook and Google to be forced to share advertising revenue with Australian media companies | Media | The Guardian - https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/apr/19/facebook-and-google-to-be-forced-to-share-advertising-revenue-with-australian-media-companies
Actually, this was also the attitude of British authorities back in January. This article in Guardian describes precisely the self-taught arrogance among the people forming the government.
Now, if you compare outcomes - UK has 5x more deaths than Germany for example, in spite of having smaller population and 2x over 65+.
