It's quite likely (and not necessarily bad) that they didn't really read the application. Most obviously, if they already chose someone but didn't close the deal yet, it's common for listings to still be up, but no-one will look at new applications unless their choice falls through.
> The digital services tax (Digital Service Tax) is applied at a rate of 3% on revenues deriving from the provision of services on a digital interface for targeted advertising to users of that interface, for the provision of a multilateral digital interface that allows users to connect and interact with each other, also for the purpose of facilitating the direct supply of goods or services for the transmission of data collected from users and generated by the use of a digital interface.
> In practice, taxation applies to digital advertising on websites and social networks, access to digital platforms, fees received by the operators of such platforms, and also the transmission of data “collected” from users. Revenue is taxable if the user of the digital service is located within the territory of the State. For online advertising services, the user is considered to be located in the territory of the State if the advertisement appears on their device when it is used in the territory of the State. The location of the device in Italian territory is determined on the basis of its IP address.
> Businesses that generate revenue in Italy from the above-mentioned digital services and that, during the calendar year preceding the one in which the tax liability arises, generate a total revenue of not less than €750 million anywhere in the world, either individually or as a group, are subject to the digital tax.
It seems for me a fair tax for corporations that take advantages of data collected to provide a service that someone pays (advertisements).
Well, there were Momenta and PenPoint --- the latter in particular focused on Notebooks which felt quite different, and Apple's Newton was even more so.
Oberon looks/feels strikingly different (and is _tiny_) and can be easily tried out via quite low-level emulation (and just wants some drivers to be fully native say on a Raspberry Pi)
The real secret of an effective captcha-like system is to identify/collect lots of data, identify suspicious patterns, validate them (checking what kind of data exposes a bot-like system) and then use this for serving dynamic challenges based on a couple of information.
Example: if the system identifies the user as a bot, it tries to give a less performant solution in terms of PoW.
Maybe somebody could explain me why your comment is in different contrast of grey?
I think somebody might have flagged your comment, but it is a real fact.
This is one of the reasons why people say cloudflare owns the majority of internet but I think I am okay with that since cloudflare is pretty chill. And they provide the best services but still it just shows that the internet isn't that decentralized.
But google captcha is literally tracking you IIRC, I would personally prefer hcaptcha if you want centralized solution or anubis if you want to self host (I Prefer anubis I guess)
