I warmed up to CSS this year. Before that it was this cryptic thing with seemingly infinite change-try cycles. What happened was that I discovered some of the new features, and was able to greatly simplify and beautify my CSS. I might end up liking it.

It has this maddening amount of features though, and as it needs to be backwards compatible, this amount can only grow going forward. But if you look at a well chosen subset of the whole thing, it actually is a quite nice language.


Doing well has two dimensions (at least). One is the degree of digitalization, and here I think youre right, Denmark is doing well. The other dimension is security, and here Denmark is not doing so well.

As all security professionals know, people dont care about security, until they are hurt, and often even after that. Lost privacy doesnt hurt if you dont think too much about it.

What we are also seeing is that governments/administrations dont care about security (with exceptions). They really want to go ahead in the digitalization dimension, but not so much in the security dimension.


What you write is correct, but it wouldnt make any difference in this case. The information would have been leaked anyway.

It will take a whole new approach to confidential information to really make a difference. I think we need to go the SSI way, and I think at some point we will.


That is also my impression. So I wonder how they caught this. It will be interesting if they are going to say so at some point.


According to their announcement, the names and addresses of people with protected address, were not leaked.


A zoom button would have been cool for this one :-)


His theory was that the two brain halves communicated through inner voices. Wernickes Area, on the left side, communicated with the similar area on the right side. WA is where we comprehend speech, so Jaynes theorized that was why bicameral people experienced the communication as inner voices.

The research in the new research paper is about a split between front and back of the brain. So something entirely different. That split is an old idea. Jaynes would most likely have known about it. But it wasnt part of his theory.


Greenland is not part of Europe. But they are part of "Rigsfællesskabet" (The Kingdom of Denmark). So part of Denmark but with a high degree of autonomy.

Regarding "European values", I think they are just Western values but with a twist away from the US version. In my layman view, that means: Europe values citizen privacy more, US values citizen freedoms more, Europe values environment more, US values businesses more.

Until recently I would have said Europe values diplomacy more, while US values military power more. But now I dont know about that.


That is a puzzle thing. The word cube is used very loosely. Douglas Hofstadter wrote about it back when Rubiks Cube was still new.

In this case it is a stretch, but the Rubiks Cube inspiration is so clear, that I think it sort of makes sense.


I dont think those fonts, linked to in the article, are going to make any significant difference. But I really like the creativity behind them.
