Us police departments constantly use those Israeli fake cell towers to intercept things and get data during protests and what not.
So sure the laws might be worse in the eu but I think in practice the citizens are better protected from their governments.
It’s not like there’s any repercussions when these types of laws get violated in the US , in Europe at least the union sometimes steps in to give fines and forces law changes although not enough. -

I don't like how Sarah got mind wiped and whether she got her memories back was probably a no but a little bit up in the air. I would want 2 or three episodes of getting memories back and a happy ever after. -

So far its pretty good, but I'm glad I watched the movie first as it helped me in knowing who the people where.
The book definitely goes more in-depth for many characters. -

I feel like this is not completely correct, as many cryptocurrencies are going towards a proof of stake model which is a lot more power-efficient. Even Eth is planning to move to such a structure I think. So it's definitely something that is being worked on. So right now crypto pretty thrash for the environment, but pretending it be as bad as it's now is what it forever will be is a bit much.
Other than that I agree with your points though. -

When you get an access token and an id_token back from the auth server such as google.
Do you need to use both the access token and the id_token.
Can you validate that the user is logged in with just the id_token?
Or can you only use that one to get information about the user. -

Or it will probably will never be finished.
The reason I started it was as an alternative to actual scrum poker cards, as we cant really do it with physical cards due to corona right now.
And just yelling out numbers, creates a bias in the group towards the first number that has been mentioned. -

Mainly because of the proposed changes to ad blocking.
Then the introduction of fuckery with the url.
Not showing the protocol might be a minor thing for most people, but that in combination with all the other things chrome had been doing the last few years, was enough to push me over the edge.It a bit getting used to ff at the start, but after a month or so, it's just browsing as normal again.
Just without worrying about google. -

So far it has been interesting, as a lot of the strategies used seem like they would apply outside of formula one in business.
Where a lot of the annoyances I have at the software company I work at, are things Brawn did the reverse of to be more successful.
It's also interesting to me to learn a bit more about some of the history in formula one.
Even if its specifically his view point, so not really a general history.
Then there's also the references to Sun Tzu's art of war, which is something I've been wanting to read but it seems like a long read. -

Chrozera Link ParentBut I would like to know more so I can be more informed in my opinions.Joe's misinformed ranting about transgender rights (esp in sports)
Where could I find more accurate information about transgender rights in sports.
Because I'm not well informed but I think his points of there being physical differences that make many sports unfair to be something that makes sense to me.But I would like to know more so I can be more informed in my opinions.

It was chrome that changed the API's to the deficit of u-block origin and other good blockers.
I tried installing ad blockers on safari and couldn't get it to work well, so I switched to chrome at the time.
In 2017 I think was last I tried safari, now I mainly use firefox.
What if you go visit some place in a car ?
Should you just not park there then?
