I don't have a solution for Facebook, since it feels like there's a bit too much garbage on the platform. But for Instagram, I've started fresh following a limited set of close friends and interests. Few enough that I can sti

Yeah, it's definitely a mixed bag. In some ways, my mental health has improved since I'm not chasing online validation/FOMO all the time. My current friends don't use Facebook a ton, so organizing happens via text or oth

To be fair, Excavator was pretty poor compared to the Intel offerings that generation. But 15% the last generation is definitely impressive, especially when compared to the 3-5% gains from 14++++ that Intel has been offering.

I am too, but was curious what degree of responsibility is expected of them by the law. i.e., is deferring to whatever sales/legal drafted enough of a defense, or something else. I work in professional services (although not pentesting

If this is true, is it Coalfire's fault for not verifying and are the two testers SOL with the burglary charge? Then is it also the fault of the two testers in this case that they too did not verify that all the correct stakeholders we

Which is interesting since they said that the physical pentesting could be "during day and evening," but you're right. Haven't seen anything affirmatively allowing them to conduct outside of 6am-6pm MST. They DID have pe

As a Consumer, I'm really excited about this. I'm fed up with skinner box RNG money extraction apps, and the ability to pay once to try a catalog of games is great. I've always been hesitant to buy pricer games because I didn

What kind of incident are you imagining happening on a plane, and is participation in the protest a reliable indicator for the likelihood of it?

I was in the area the week that the road opened up and went for a sunrise. I was the second person there at 4am, but by 5-6am there were around 30 people there! I can't even imagine what Maroon Bells is like during high season.

The usual explanation for tipping is that the minimum wage for tipped employees is lower than the non-tipped minimum wage (sometimes as low as $2.13). If you knew everyone was getting paid the minimum wage, would you still tip on a regular

This recently posted article does a good job of explaining how Discount Brokerages make money. tl;dr - order flow is $$$, but interest is even better. 1- Interest 2- Commissions 3- Asset Management 4- Securities Lending 5- Payment for Order

That whole flow is one of the insistent dark patterns I've seen so far. I mean providing barely visible text that masquerades as an opt-out button is one thing, but only allowing local account creation if you're offline is a next

I initially thought the EFF was suing for publicity, knowing that the mandatory arbitration provisions and class-action waivers were likely to stand. However, they do have some legs to stand on, since California's supreme court ruled i
