That's including 20 million liability limit This is the most noticeable difference between US and UK. Cars here generally have perhaps $300,000 liability, perhaps $500,000. I have $1,000,000 but larger number is covered by an additio

This is just insane. Everything except WWW is blocked, so everything must pretend to be WWW???!!! So can anyone explain the purpose of the "source port" and "destination port" fields in the TCP header? :-)

almost all DPI software recognize the wireguard handshake. Why should that matter? How does the DPI software get your keys? Isn't WireGuard data flow completely opaque to anyone or anything between endpoints? If the DPI software blo

The meme that needs to die is referring to Tesla as $TSLAQ. The trailing Q indicates a company in bankruptcy. The addition of Tesla to the S&P 500 means that bankruptcy is now much less likely than previously. Huge amounts of money spec

That meme needs to die. Elon Musk won the war with the short sellers once TSLA was added to the S&P 500. That was a game changer. Now there is daily institutional money flow into the stock. Now TSLA has a much greater probability of sur

There's a very simple, prosaic, explanation of the "foolish things": Apple employees need to make changes to justify their jobs. That's it. No changes, no job. If they can't demonstrate the usefulness of their curre

It's a complicated issue. I think some people don't make any real effort to keep track of their passwords, and so reset via email is kind of common. But what if you're Sarah Palin, governor of some out-of-the-way state (pop.

I don't think they ever went to "jail" at all, just home detention. They convinced a Federal judge that “the intent was not there to engage in illegal conduct”. Gold & Silver Reserve CEO Douglas Jackson was sentenced to

No, no, I don't have my passwords anywhere but in a paper notebook. And I don't have any other copies. That's what I meant by "my reckless behavior". What percentage of people use a password manager? I think on iOS&

A notebook is a totally reasonable way for a non-technical person to track passwords securely. I do this, even though I'm a "technical" person. I do it because I use unique passwords for almost every site I visit. The noteb

But they should not require 40 years of employment to be eligible to receive ANY retirement funds. I don't know how you got confused about this. In the USA pensions must vest at 100% after 3 to 7 years of work (depending on details).

That link directly contradicts you. Federal overtime starts at 40 hours per week. Your link specifically says: Whichever law (state or federal) is more favorable to the worker will apply. In most instances, federal law will cover issues in

The valuation game in Tesla is over. Elon won. The nature of the game changed once Tesla was added to the S&P 500. Now there is a lot of passive money that flows into Tesla stock on a daily basis.
