We‘ve been using S/MIME-based end-to-end email encryption at work for a long time now. It’s a bit of a hassle whenever new employees start, and every two years after that, but it’s manageable. Apart from that, it just works. Why is it never even considered by so many people?

Great thread
When I describe East Coast vs West Coast culture to my friends I often say "The East Coast is kind but not nice, the West Coast is nice but not kind," and East Coasters immediately get it. West Coasters get mad. 😂😂😂

What position is that?
Maybe the UK’s secret goal is to unify the EU by giving its citizens something they can all agree to despise. If so, they’re doing a good job so far
But a month ago, it was all about a deal based on “sovereign equals”. How quickly they change language...

Gibt es irgendwo eine Übersicht der ggf. unterschiedlichen Einschätzungen der Landesdatenschutzbeauftragten zu den Auswirkungen von Schrems II (Kontext Videokonferenzen an Schulen)?

„… dass die Ermittlungsbehörden sich weigern, strukturelle Probleme und grundsätzliche Fehler anzuerkennen und einzugestehen; dass sich der Staat weigert, anzuerkennen, dass es in den Behörden so etwas wie institutionellen Rassismus gibt“
Mega starkes Interview ⁦@raahoff⁩! „Politik tut sich insgesamt schwer, sich eindeutig & vollständig nach rechts abzugrenzen – selbst gegenüber Neonazis. Weil man sich dann auch inhaltlich vollständig abgrenzen müsste, bspw in der Flüchtlingspolitik.“ spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/f…

Agreed, even though there are some examples of this in German, too, e.g. using (or at least not complaining about) “wegen dem” as opposed to “wegen des” in most situations
Good fucking riddance

Thanks. The study actually says 39%, 29% with an alternate method, which is still not nearly enough to support the argument.

Hast Du dazu mehr Informationen? Scheint ja dem Artikel von @markusreuter_ zu widersprechen

I don’t understand, how is you not having to own an Apple Watch in Apple’s best interest?

This last one is a little vague and I’m not sure I totally buy the reasoning.

4. Bitcoin can fulfill an increased global load without (linearly?) increasing its energy consumption.
1
If this is true, Bitcoin may turn out to be that one. That’s a big if, but probably true simply because of the lead it has. I agree with the requirements part, but I’m not convinced it’s worth the cost (which is of course the point of this discussion).

3. There is no other mechanism, apart from a PoW blockchain, that meets the same set of requirements. Maybe the world needs just one global PoW blockchain and the rest can be PoS or something else.
1
I have no idea how this compares, and I’m not sure it’s a valid comparison unless it’s broken down to a cost per transaction. But it’s true that we don’t have that number for the traditional financial system (AFAICT)

2. The energy consumption of Bitcoin is way more obvious than the one of the system you use with your credit card. What about the data centers (including all the processing power spent on fraud defection), bank clerks, office buildings, armored cars, ...?

If it were true, this would be a great argument. If it’s true for 1% of the energetic consumption, while 99% is produced from burning coal, it’s worthless. If it’s the other way around, things change again. Is there a way to figure out which is true?
