You point out a good gotcha that most people don't notice - many host-specific errors are often faster than the standard response and more traffic will route to those hosts with a performance-based heuristic. A well configured LB wo

It's a good callout and I think these things should be documented just so security researchers can expose flaws in the process publicly. Basically, these companies have unlock keys for our accounts and we don't know enough about

What's the latest with Namecheap? I use/like them (and Gandi) but I'm not a very active user so maybe things have changed over the years.

Hyundai is firing on all cylinders (anachronism?) with their design language. The question will be whether the market pushes them back to 'standard' design or whether they are in fact the innovators of a new design and everybody

Sure. There's really not giant risk of damage though. I don't use a case and my mbp has been going from home to office and around the city for four years with just a dent in the corner to show for it. MBPs are very hard to dama

SD card is kind of niche these days - it's really just for people with a camera and most people just use a phone at this point. HDMI out though is definitely still useful for regular people (presentations, conferences, TV, etc...)

The Obama comparison doesn't hold water. Those were civil penalties for time to report donations. Trump is being charged criminally with felonies for intentionally hiding hush money payments in legal payments from the campaign (altho

The most malevolent things he did were political and while in office. As anti-Trump as I am though, the clock ran out on that and the remedy (conviction of impeachment) was never completed. In that sense, that chapter is closed and now we

The prosecutor can only look at crimes in their jurisdiction. In this case it's a NY prosecutor and only crimes in that state can be charged. In fact, we don't know what the charges are yet as they are sealed (although the leak

It's also cool that the whole thing was machined 'loose' so that it would expand as it heated up. Apparently the plane would leak fuel and oil when it was on the ground ...

They're not necessarily against tech - but all the tech they have must be self-maintainable without outside engagement. So you could imagine a contemporary Amish-like culture around right-to-repair but it would still be very low-tech.

Yeah that's my experience too - the airline itself is ideal because they can also help with upgrades, rebooking more easily without the encumbrance of a different vendor. Flying is still such a pita.

Really any of the platforms can support it. Reddit has 'reddiquette' and all it would take is allow reporting on more civility-oriented offenses (like cursing, etc...). Most social networks currently don't allow reporting lo

Indian pharmaceuticals are not well regulated and if you can afford it, it's better to look for products from other countries with stronger oversight.

Wineries do that too - often the bottles are cheaper in the liquor store hundreds of miles away than they are at the tasting room.

I find 2 and 4 weeks to be the magic cutoff points for discounts but maybe I'm just seeing a pattern where none exists.

Do you recommend Kiwi/SkyScanner for their customer support (changing tickets, etc...) or are those just names you sometimes use? I also fly a few times a year and at this point I just want excellent customer service and don't wo

My iCloud is set up for end of life (Legacy I think they call it?). The recipients would then get iCloud passwords and my 1Password vault.

Also the risk for money markets is breaking the buck, not going to zero like an AT1 bond or something. There is a very small risk of losing a very small amount of money and there is a slightly larger risk that liquidity takes longer than e

In addition to the fee they are leveraging your deposits - and European banks are no less risky for the depositor than the US ones (just look at the 2008 era). Having a 'true bank' that does not leverage your money and has no inv

The only way cross-platform works is if both platforms are in lockstep with the interfaces they supply. Of course that will slow down development on both platofrms. In some cases, this works great right now for mature interfaces and you ca

Or even worse is Apple News where it's pieces of major newspapers like the WSJ and then dumbed down newspapers like USA Today and nothing of the caliber of Financial Times. What I want is an app/site that has all the news, strong

My favorite experience at Citi ironically was closing my checking account. I forgot why but anyway I went to the counter and they just said, 'ok'. I put in my debit card and pin to prove identity, then showed them my license as

Yeah this previous comment is probably just good ol' fashioned misogyny. There's no consensus that Yellen is quick to fold from the previous crisis - these people also have real responsibilities so it's not necessarily &#x27
