They once identify you from your driver's license, government id card or passport. After that you for example link your smart phone to you, and you use their app when you identify.

You can also use mobile carriers, they send a push notification directly to you phone+sim. Not sure what protocol they use here, because it opens up an UI which is plain android, and asks pin.

Everything relays on chain of trust that since one service has identified you, the next can trust too. Plus there is MFA to verify that you actually made the identification request.

You Americans should get to this century and start performing digital strong authentications like the rest of us. Sending picture of your ID to anyone is insane :)

How we do it here in Finland is that there are digital identity providers which use bank/mobile carrier to identify you. They then use MFA when identifying you. Any service can use these services to do strong authentication for you. And they don't cost anything for the customer, and is really cheap for the company who wants to identify you. It is also build into the law that you must identify people using these, to avoid identity theft.

Agree some parts, but in my opinion bullshit talk about age and seniority. I have been developer/tech lead for 15 years and have seen young wizards that can implement excellent code, and have seen seniors that barely can use a computer. Age is irrelevant, seniority is irrelevant, only thing that matters is skill.

With niche solutions were you are developing something like a browser, having developed one before, has absolutely benefit. In reality 99% of development is not like that.

So true, as dev google is trash now. Luckily gpt has made it better.

Cool, but too bad the quality of this article is bad. GW is not capacity, do they actually mean GWh? Or do they mean peak GW power output. Impossible to tell from this poorly written article.

And the mixing 20 million kilowatts hours there, in middle of article, just to get some large numbers.

So from decrypting, it will have hydro storage of 20.0GWh and peak output of 2.8GW, which means that they can run it for 10 hours peak.

Edit: fix in math

There is also a other example in Europe, Finland. We finns call it Suomi, and everyone else calls us Finland. Origin of Finland is also from Romans, because they called us Fenni. Origin of Suomi is unknown, but there are multiple theories.

Very rude to call it wierdo, you are making it feel bad :(

Concepts pictures and CGI renders.

Looks like no engineer has touched the design yet, what means that it will not look like that when it is actually made.

This is just plain stupid.

Forcing browser to block certain sites is like making car manufacturers make the car shutdown if you are trying to smuggle foreign cheese in to France.

Tech illiterates making the decision here.

Yeah, there is a fucking burnt child on the movie.

In proper democracy all parts of the government are hold accountable to some other part of the government. This makes no part of the government to be above everyone else.
