Its a jobs program for the unemployable. That and political pork. The TSA is a complete failure at every level and is laughably bad at everything but draining money from the taxpayer and stepping on citizens rights. We should go back to met

They took a nice feature (showing the weather unobtrusively on your taskbar) and turned it into a nightmare where if your mouse accidentally passes through its space a giant popup shows up filled with the worst kind of junk news. Oh and on

Heart rate? Go a step further and consider you can track discrete people with these things. Like walk in front of one and it can build a unique tracking profile of you and track you as an individual. The profiles (I've been told) can b

This is why I switched to Verizon years ago--I had T-Mobile and one of ATT's grandfathered in unlimited data plans but you simply could not rely on them to deliver workable telephone calls and data access. As a consultant that was not

Anyone with money and persistence can get variances in the local government. Try to be a regular person and get things done--you'll rapidly end up giving up.

The article briefly mentions that project and how its been caught up in government regulations for years, whereas this project was somehow able to side step all that (ie in SV tradition they just ignored it).

Some of it, but its just there. It comes up sometimes but isn't omnipresent.

My Ford Edge has almost all the important controls accessible only through the touchscreen. If I'm in reverse for example I lose all ability to adjust the temperature, fan, or seat temperature. Its terrible. Adjusting the seat warmers

Yes. RedHat/CentOS/other LTS OSes are a nightmare for vulnerability scanning. I should say it's a bonanza for the security contractors and a nightmare for those of us that actually deal with it. So many pencil pushers throwin

A customer I work with has a large Drupal site hosted with a big time Drupal provider. Cloudflare has decided that image uploads from the browser via the JS uploader needs to be checked and injects itself into that...but the browser has no

You can create custom rulesets, which is what the article's author did. This allowed the API calls to essentially bypass the WAF.

And if you have to disable WAF, what exactly is Cloudflare doing for you?
225.
by a2tech 4y ago
This boils down to 'Cloudflare did something' and without the Enterprise plan you'd never be able to pull the data required to diagnose the problem. Oh also, Cloudflare knows they did something but plays the blame game until

Media changes, art is reshaped by new generations. Roald Dahl is dead, the rights to his books have been sold and people are updating them to keep them relevant. This happens to translations (as an example) all the time as the popular lexic

The only way that ends up working is everyone joins the meeting remotely...even if its from their desk in the office. People seem to like that anyway so they're not crammed into some hot (or icy cold) conference room with 10 people you

When companies share their owners beliefs, yes, they've brought politics and religion into the purchase process. I haven't asked them, they've made a public stance. I can't ignore it without giving up my personal morals,

You're missing the virtue signaling of eating at Chick-fil-A. People see it as a wholesome Southern option that sticks to the hardworking America of yesteryear morals. IE no gays, overt Christianity, and limited minorities or immigrant

CNC adoption is actually driving improvements to the physical plants I work with--the machines can't run with it as hot as people can so they're starting to actually put in AC. Oh that and the old guys that work in those machine s

I may be spoiled, but its extremely rare we eat someplace where I find the ingredients, flavor, and options to match what we have at home. We don't travel a crazy amount (compared to people with traveling jobs or a real wanderlust), bu

Something that the pandemic has rammed home with my wife and I is just how poor the out of home dining experience is in general. The food is lackluster, the ambiance is awful, being surrounded by other people eating is terrible (my wife is

The state of Ohio has birthed more astronauts than any other state. Mostly because people are so desperate to get out of Ohio they’ll go to space to escape. UofM has the most astronauts that made it to the moon. And a flag on the moon. Good

That sucks. In the US we typically get fixed rate loans for the length of the loan which could be as long as 30 years.

by a2tech 4y ago
That sucks for folks then. I'd definitely push for that to change. In the US you may not always get the best interest rate but it'll usually be the same for the entire length of the loan.

What would make you think the landlord's interest rates would go up? Its unlikely that any mortgage they have will have a floating interest rate. Borrowing more money will likely be at a higher interest rate, but deals that are closed

Microsoft 101--embrace, extend, extinguish. We've seen the GitHub embrace step, now we're seeing the extend part, next comes the lock in and closing off of GitHub.
