You don't need to, but (Dokku, at least) has a lot of ingress setup and Procfiles and things that you need to add, and you pay that cost for nothing if you don't use it. The other thing that makes Dokku unsuitable for non-web th

There is some pretty bad sexism in the book (because that era was sexist, I guess), but I think your comment goes too far the other way and treats sex as taboo. What's wrong with naked women, prostitutes, gambling and topless bars?

Do you carry this around with you, or is it just for high-value passwords? I regularly have to log in to things, carrying a notepad of passwords with me would be inconvenient and dangerous.

My power provider has a scheme (I forget the name) where basically your entire electricity bill goes to "green" electricity producers. The logic is that you can't control where your electricity comes from , but you can easil

Same as in any other area, assume malaria isn't killing babies and do the math. Your question sounds rhetorical but is too simple to answer, so I'm confused.

What's more representative is "life years lost", and malaria wins there (we've lost many more years to it).

Hmm, I know of people using them as a bank, but I've never used them personally, so I'm not terribly familiar.

Note that, while the article heavily implies that this was fraud, it doesn't actually say whether they were stealing or whether these were actual valid withdrawals of customers. The latter is pretty crazy, but it's not fraud (an

Can I make a giro transfer without a third party intervening? Then it would be comparable, yes.

Everyone keeps shifting the goalposts. Are we comparing cash to cryptocurrency? Are we comparing banks to exchanges? You can't say "Cash is better than cryptocurrency because banks". If you want someone to safeguard your cryp

Whereas cash is much better! You can't lose it, it can't catch on fire, it can't be blown away by the wind, it can't be stolen, you can't give it to the wrong person! So good. That's why everyone keeps all thei

Hmm, how do you mean? Doesn't the Python code generate JSON that Terraform then reads?

I remember in the era of Windows XP, I had downloaded a BSOD screensaver. Unfortunately, it never worked, as the few times I tried to preview it, it kept crashing the system. ...I realized why at around the fourth try.

How do you do that? Are you paying them to shut the pumps down for X hours? What if the rest of their demand remains constant? I don't see how this can possibly work.
