    The more I think about it, the less sense this graphic has

    1. If not per sq km, it should at least be per capita
      just checking on wikipedia, divided by area GB should have bar around twice high as Germany. 209k m^2 vs 357k m^2
    2. and what does it mean 1 datacenter in the first place?
      big as a city sprawling datacenter complex and a bunch of racks in the cellar both count as 1?















  • Prince Wang’s programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.

    “Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”

    “Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”




  • Is there a limit to one-time cards

    There should be something about that in the Revolut EULA or something like that. But I’ve never encountered it. The moment the payment goes through, a new card appears in the app

    Can you elaborate But how private your data really is, that might be hard to answer

    It’s a business. A closed source. They are of course bound by laws and regulations but there’s practically no way to make sure they aren’t selling transaction data/statistics under the table. Also, the cards issued by them are either visa or mastercard (IDR), so these companies have that info too. And I’d bet they sell transactions analytics
    Then there’s also the matter of telemetry. Apart from telemetry gathered by the app for Revolut, I guess there’s no way to use it without Gapps

    FWIW I did not notice an influx of spam after registering an account. But that doesn’t prove anything, of course

    We can’t inspect the code of the app. So it’s probably only as private as other bank apps
