Without their knowledge? The use of these tools should be outlined during employee onboarding or explained during implementation/roll out. There is no good reason for them to be a secret. That said, my statement was about helping peop

I think I may just have a tainted perspective on this. I’ve worked in digital forensics/incident response for >10 years, so I have an appreciating for the level in which businesses need to protect themselves, and I’ve grown a fondne

Then to me, this is the real issue. Businesses aren’t providing the right tools to help employees separate their personal lives with the business. BYOD has indeed been a curse.

Don’t use the company device for personal use. It’s just not appropriate, for so many reasons.

That's absolutely a valid reason. All my static sites are not generating income and don't need support. I've also got my own backups, so if GH decides I shouldn't be there I'm not losing much. If a site is important

Ya, I'm trying to understand what the downside to github pages is compared to this strategy. Can anybody elaborate on what I might be missing?

In the wake of new attempts to "ban encryption", I'd recommend reading Crypto by Steven Levy (2001). https://www.stevenlevy.com/index.php/books/crypto

Agreed. That's my biggest concern with any product that promises security and privacy. They're great features to put on a product that offers neither. I feel like funding would be easy, but who would you trust being behind such an

I sincerely recommend reading the book Crypto if this topic interests you. This isn’t the first time we’ve been here, and it won’t be the last, but Crypto does an excellent job going through some of the history and the absurdity of the idea

This section was super disappointing. It sounds more like iTunes is being rebranded to Music since it’s still going to be the hub for managing iOS devices. What exactly is changing here other than the name?

Apple Music certainly has the most screen real estate now, but I was still able to find the "Open in Deezer" within a freshly updated Shazam.

Rock climbing is a really unique mesh of physical activity, community, and puzzle solving. If you find the thought of gyms boring but want to start getting some exercise, I'd definitely suggest trying it out.

I have a couple small businesses on it for nothing other than convenience. I clicked this hoping for a pleasant surprise but instead got an expected reality. No problem, email migration is one of the easiest out there (as long as you aren’t

Was satellite communication the goal of blockstream all along or did a random thought/opportunity come around at some point over the last couple years and it appeared like a good pivot?

Sure, downvote me because I was a bit mean sounding, or maybe because you are sick of hearing about Bitcoin. I feel like it's a fair question though. To say that Bitcoin will be remembered more like beanie babies and baseball cards, ra

Most exchanges that have coins other than Bitcoin use Altcoin/Bitcoin pairs. So you're not trading in relation to the US Dollar, you're trading in relation to Bitcoin. For a trader, that means that to them 1 ETH is currently

Totally fair comment. The author does admit that they themselves are still holding, so an addition to the obituaries isn't accurate. I think the millennial part just frustrated me.

Hey buddy, if you feel that investing in cryptocurrencies is too risky, and it may harm you finances and future, you should really find safer investments to consider. I would talk to a professional about it, perhaps with your local bank. In

Malicious intent is absolutely a possibility but I think you'd be surprised at the amount of exchanges running off the regular consumer wallets (such as bitcoind and altcoin equivalents). These pieces of software are not meant to suppo

I had the pleasure of meeting Amber at a conference recently and am not surprised she is going out on her own. With her knowledge and contact list, I'd expect her next venture to be a success. This has been a common occurrence across m

Yes and no. It's generalizing sure, but it's doing so based on my own experience. I have no doubt that there are some Canadian organizations that have adopted this strategy, I just haven't seen it nearly as bad myself. Take m

That's ok, can we re-schedule, by which I mean leave it open ended so that you spend the day with a gentle dread in your heart, eyeing the phone with anxiety throughout, and second guessing bathroom/lunch breaks? tks.
