Richard MacCutchan did not write: server will be an industrial computer if my client is a client
Unclear specifications. What will be the server if the client turns out not to be a client?

might turn out to be a waitress, if the client is not a client but a customer?
Perhaps?

Well, if the client is a client, but the server is a masseuse, that might rub some the wrong way.

No. This way they spare us a lot of grief because otherwise some 'SmartBosses' (AI everywhere!) would pester us with that at the strangest places.
In an online game they automatically parsed all user messages for insults and banned the sender of any message where they found anything. Not only did they not care that some 'insults' may just be vbanter among friends, they also forgot that some things depend on the context or mean something entirely different.
Someone replied with 'Ich setze meine Flotte in Marsch' (= I will set my fleet in march) and was banned because the message contained 'Arsch', which would be a not so fancy way to name the rear part of someone's anatomy.

Yeah, when I lived in Ontario, Canada, it was in Middlesex county... good luck getting to the county website from work. It was, of course, blocked because of the embedded work.

Nah, they can't all be so stupid. 
This is clearly discrimination, as the 'sex' suffix actually should be 'sax' and goes back to the Saxons in England.

There's a popular saying in the USMC, I'm sure it didn't originate there but it's fitting;
Quote: We Have Done So Much with So Little for So Long, that Now We Can Do Anything with Nothing

In the Navy, we used the complete saying:
We the unwilling
Lead by the unknowing
Have done so much
With so little
For so long
We are now qualified to do anything with nothing

Blockchain Call – Stories of UNICEF Innovation
The UNICEF Innovation Fund is looking to make $50-90K equity-free investments to provide early stage (seed) finance to for-profit technology start-ups that have the potential to benefit humanity. We are currently looking to invest in a group of companies developing software solutions on open blockchains.
As an aside (and joke, lest someone wiser point out that that's not really what this list is for), I notice the US is missing from the list of "Programme Countries". I guess they've given up on us benefiting humanity.

Independent of past/current political situation in the US, the UN's Agencies are so often an insulting sham of their original purpose that donating to any of them is a mistake.
I'd hope some fine EU (or Asian) country would step up and offer to host the damn thing in their country.

Gee... dong blockchain research is a perfect fit for the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund 
As for the US not being a "programme country"... nor is Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, etc...
It's a charity. First world countries need not apply. Except China and India of course...

Did not need to. While the message that was displayed was not really helpful, it turned out that the EotD (Error of the Day) was no error at all. The user was denied access because of some weird settings and existing twice (!) in the database. You can't confuse my security functions with such simple tricks.
The only change concerned the message. Instead of some weird 'There has been an error' stuff, we now have something about 'access denied because of user settings', but that must not be deployed right away.

My duck-and-cover tactic:
My arrival at work precedes every else. I do the updates - and if they barf - I roll them back. No one's the wiser and the user-panic that would otherwise ensue is (usually!) averted.
