I've used both, and for me mullvad has worked a lot better. They seem more focused on VPN as core to what they do and don't leak data when reconnecting to a different server, and with proton I often experience that my connection stops working if my laptop gas been closed for some time, and the only way to make it work again is to reconnect to a new server. And then it leaks connections for a few seconds.

My gf experiences some thing like this sometimes. Seems to correlate without exercise or excitement or eating histamine rich food. She takes pentatop to regulate it with some success. I'm also interested to head about your experience.

I've been close to subscribing to The Economist a couple of times, but when I do a web search I find a lot of people complaining about their similar practice of making it difficult to unsubscribe, so I've refrained.

I guess there are more people who give up on unsubscribing than who refrain from subscribing?

Voice input works really well for people speaking English with a Swedish accent. I think the accent of most educated Swedes is mostly a case of prosody. For sure there are some sounds we say slightly differently than native English speakers. We often have some trouble with /s/ and /z/, but I don't know, "war and peace", I think that's easily understood.

Source: voice typing this with Swedish vocal chords, and only had to correct "different lives" to "differently", and add /[^\w\s]/.

Cool. Though one of the reasons for me to have a device like that is that it doesn't have distractions like games and messages.

But for those that want that, I guess this is a cheap version?

How does 91 x >1e9 become 600e9? Is it like a bundle discount?

"It hosts 91 other AI “unicorns”, private companies worth more than $1bn, collectively valued at a further $600bn."

It's called Freja. It's also possible to get a special hardware device to do the bankID dance, which is great to have if your phone breaks, as having that device will make it possible to provision a new bankID without visiting a bank office.

What do you mean here? Isn't bankID limited to only one device?

Just because there one or maybe several bad/worse countries in the world, that doesn't mean anything goes ethically. That's a dangerous line of reasoning.

Surely that depends heavily on the country.

Having global identities that move with you between networks doesn't mean that your identities need to be singular nor openly tied to your government identity.

Exoteric is the opposite of esoteric, which is the word you mean :)

I usually do

   const $ = (s, e = document) => e.querySelector(s)
and a similar one for $$.

I take it that the squirrel didn't circle the man? Two squirrels running around the same tree, are they circling each other? Or is it that when two bodies are orbiting the same center, then the body with the larger orbit is circling the one with the smaller? What is the definition of "circling"?

I think I remember reading articles about how to implement blink in IE using behaviors, some IE only thing that didn't take hold(?), Maybe this was around IE5.

You can do it even even faster by replacing your if statements (works because the ascii values end in the digit they represent):

    if (d & 1)
       printf("odd\n");
    else 
       printf("even\n")

The article doesn't suggest that Bhutan has a future in the leadership of Tibetan Buddhism, but that when/if Tibetan Buddhism gets more fractured because of disputes around lineage, then Bhutan can become globally important in the thought leadership of Buddhism more generally, or maybe more specifically Vajrayana Buddhism.
